Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

I dont know why i gave it Hurricane but here it is. This is kinda inspired by Wolfes Kingdra in the Toronto Regionals but whatever.

Quiver (Ludicolo) @ Choice Specs

Modest Nature

Crikey (Overqwil) @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Swift Swim
Tera Type: Water

Adamant Nature

- Swords Dance
- Gunk Shot
- Crunch
- Liquidation
And finally, Overqwil. The only non-Water Pokemon with Swift Swim. We have 2 STAB Moves and a Rain-Boosted Move for Coverage.
Thats all. I might replace a Member (Jolteon?) for Basc or Barraskewda but thats out of the question for now.
Thanks for reading a long post. Have a nice day :)

Bild peli might get you more with base stat. Lefties or Max offense arch seem fine, not both. Jolteon probably shouldn't be run, def not with boots cause frail and vgC.

Since this or very rainy you might get away with it, but if run ha overqwil if at all, intimidated is great in vgC. Usually.

Muddy water is a worse surf btw

Okay, so a few things: You have the right idea in rain, however a lot of your mons are very subpar, if not completely outclassed, and those that aren't (peli and arch) have subpar (ish) sets themselves. For this reason, I'd strongly recommend using https://munchstats.com/gen9vgc2024regh/1760/Gholdengo to find not only good sets for pelipper and arch, but also stronger/more useful teammates.
