Offensive Rain

[Dopiuhm]

Focus Sash
Timid
252hp/4atk/252spe
~Spikes ~SR
~Taunt ~Superpower

Basic Deoxys lead. If the team is a SS team or high offense I usally lead with this. If a team has a an espoen on thier team i usaually switch out after a superpower. I'm hoping to replace this with a better support poke that more fits the team, or just change the set. Because once i get my support up it is virtually useless.

~Waterfall ~Ice Punch
~Wild Charge ~Superpower

Alright first thing I cannot tell how many OHKO's or 2HKO's I got because people think this is a support set. This thing has helped through a lot of situations. CB rain boosted Waterfall is hitting hard even though it is not stabbed. It could probably have better coverage on the moveset but I'm really not too worried about that. This set definatly works amazing against Ttar lead to Ttar switch ins. They usally think im going to switch out so they either pursuit or setup and then they get hit with Superpower or waterfall.

~Roost ~EQ
~Hurricane ~Extreme Speed

Dnite a monster in this gen with multi scale. With permanent rain hurricane is a nice addition to Dnite and the stab and 30% confusion doesn't hurt either. ES is here so i can get some priority on this team. When there is an attack like bug or fire coming i switch in roost of the damage then attack with the appropriate attack. I am looking to change this set a little not sure of what but to make him blend a little more.

@eviolite
Magnet Pull
Timid
148def/88SpA/20SpD/252Spe
~Volt Switch ~HP Grass
~Mirror Shot ~Thunder

Eviolite Magneton has some bulk and able to dish out some good hits. This set is truly random I know I wanted a Bulky magneton set on this team. but too many times it doesn't do its job of killing the threats i need it to. Also i need a better set to go with this so any help with this magneton is appreciated.

@CSpecs
Drizzle
Modest
4hp/252SpA/252Spe
~Hydro Pump ~Ice Beam
~HP Grass ~Focus Blast

Politoed. Doesn't need any introductions at all he sets up rain. He also can pull off the right sweep in certain occasions. Hp grass to kill those annoying water grounds. Nothing much more to say. COnsidering changing to scarf and replacing focus blast no sure with what.

@Black Sludge
Dry Skin
244hp/252atk/12def
~Bulk UP ~Drain Punch
~Sub ~Sucker Punch

This thing shines in the rain (lol). With dry skin, Drain Punch and Black Sludge this thing is like herpes it never goes away. With a few bulk ups on him few things are getting good damage on him. while he is getting damage on everything. sub bulk up is amazing getting my stats up while dodging hits is nice.not really anything i want to change here excepting providing him with more support


I hope I provide a good analysis of my team so you can help me fix the flaws. Although I have been getting good W/L ratios on PO. Any help is appreciated.​

No one rated on your team, so I guess I have to. First I'll run you through your weaknesses and then we'll get to how they can be fixed. Then we'll go from there.

Rotom-W: You have not a single powerful Grass type move, or a move that even does sever damage. He can freely Volt Switch between your team, finish off Dragonite with HP (Ice), (Which will be easy since you don't have a spinner), and does severe damage to the rest of your team with Hydro Pump. Since you're running an offensive rain team, you'll want to keep as much offensive pressure as possible. I don't see what a steel trapper like Magneton can do for this team, most powerful water type attacks OHKO steels in rain anyway. I would use Jolteon instead of Magneton, since it will help combat your Rotom-W problem and ramp up your team offensively at the same time. When you see a Volt Switch coming from Rotom-W, throw in Jolteon to Volt Absorb. Now Rotom-W is locked in Choice Scarf and will have to switch. On the switch you can set a sub, and then Baton Pass the sub or deal attacks until your sub falls, switch out and repeat. A Protect user will also help prevent your foe from predicting this, and since Volt Switch will be most commonly used against your Politoed, try Protect in place of Focus Blast. Focus Blast has horrid accuracy, and with Protect you can lock a choice user, then switch into the appropriate Poke to take the attack. If Rotom-W uses Volt Switch on your Protect turn, throw in Jolteon, and if he uses Hydro Pump, throw in Toxicroak.

Other Improvements: I don't see what Mew really does for you. You already have Toxicroak to take care of Tyranitar, and to use as a physical attacker. I would suggest removing Mew for Starmie, that way you can still have power and a rain abuser, but you will also get a spinner. Deoxys-S also doesn't provide much for the team. It is basically a suicide lead, and since you don't have a spin blocker, all of your hazards can be blow away. Although this is an offensive team, Ferrothorn could supply excellent support. He will be able to continuously lay hazards throughout the match, and he can make as a makeshift spin blocker, since most spinners are water types and since spinners won't like taking Iron Barb damage. The slashed set can be used for extra area hazards and more spin resisting capability, but you loose recovery. This will also give you support with your Rotom-W problem. Also try testing the full special attacker rain abusing Dragonite set. Paralysis + Confusion would be great support for this team, also Leftovers will help keep Multiscale intact against sand teams.
