I personally agree with what I've been said by pokemonisfun and Estarossa and it's one of the main reason I don't play the tier a lot at the moment. I think Rain is way too good vs way too many teams and archetype. It has a shit ton of abusers which don't share the same checks. This leads to situation where team A can deal with a rain team without X abusers and just get rekted by team B that contains that abusers. There is way too many threats to cover under Rain and overall too many Pokemon which can actually be great with this weather.
However I think there is something we can act against and it's the current setter : Pelipper. Rain wasn't that great before and I refuse to believe it's because we didn't tried the archetype enough. I think it's the perfect tool to make Rain unhealthy and pretty much unbalanced for the tier. The fact that it can pivot, heal itself, bypass Grass-types and support its squad with moves like Knock Off or Defog are the things which lead me to think this setter is the issue. Considering I don't think we can solve this issue by taking actions against a specific abuser I would personally like to see a suspect test of Pelipper. Another option would be to act against Damp Rock but meh. Damp Rock was fine with Politoed so yeah I think the best thing we can do would be to act against Pelipper. Would gladly want to see feedback from other people who're playing the tier.
