SomewhatSadistic

SomewhatSadistic

Right so
I made this Swampert team a little while back and I was wondering if it was any good.

Swampert-Mega @ Swampertite
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Superpower
- Ice Punch

Swampert is the main man of this team and here he is. Its your standard set that does damage, idk what else to say.

Pelipper @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 248 HP / 36 Def / 224 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- U-turn
- Roost
- Defog

Its your average rain setter and my defog user so get rid of hazards

Garchomp @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Poison Jab
- Fire Fang

Wanted a dragon type, so i looked to garchomp as one of the best dragons in OU, put a scarf on it becasue Latios and dragon dance Charizard X are a problem

Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 92 Def / 164 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Leech Seed
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Knock Off

sets up stealth rocks and is a tanky pokemon

Thundurus @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunder Wave
- Thunder
- Focus Blast
- Nasty Plot

Thundurus is here because it gets access to thunder, and prankster+thunder wave shut down faster pokemon

Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
- Baneful Bunker
- Recover

Here as a tank to soak up damage, thats really all

Would really appreciate any feedback that comes this way, Thanks in advance

P.S.
First post so obligatory sorry for bad formatting and no fancy pictures, and idk what else :)
 
alright first off, I would like to start with threat list
threatlist:
065-m.png
Mega Alakazam: With its ability trace, this allows Zam to outspeed ur entire team if it traces swift swim. This makes it so thundy has to click twave and a smart zam player would not let you para their zam
720-u.png
Hoopa-Unbound: Your team has no switch-ins and its still bulky enough so that it can take advantage of that
303-m.png
Mega Mawile: Can sucker a weakened pert and SD can run through ur team.

787.png
Tapu Bulu: You do have anything, that can reliably one 1v1 that. You do have poison jab on your chomp, but that is the only mon that can beat. The rest loses one 1v1 agains bulu
718.png
Zygarde 50%: All sets of this mon can be a problem. It basically just needs pert and chomp weakened so it can sweep. And banded doesnt have a switch in.

Alomomola: This team has problems with bulky waters in general so this should be no surpise

My first recommendation is this

: Kingdra does everything you want Garchomp to do except better. You would want to run this set
Kingdra @ Choice Specs
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
Hydro Pump l Surf l Draco Meteor l Ice beam

Next recommendation is

- Magerena does the same thing that toxapex does. It also helps with basically everything all the special threats in the above post.
Magearna @ Assault Vest
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
Fleur Cannon l Flash Cannon l Focus Blast l Volt Switch
Final Reccomendation is

- kartana is very good on rain teams since it can break through stuff annoying to Rain. I would recommend this set.
Kartana @ Life Orb
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
Swords Dance l Leaf Blade l Sacred Sword l Smart Strike
This set allows you to weaken celesteela and relieably deal with

Also, since you do no thave rocks now, I would run stealth rocks on Mega Swampert then as a result

The new team would look like this.

Overall, I think it was a good idea to put Thundy on a rain team. LMK what you think of the changes
