Please rate my team
This is Ou Rain Team. No need for introduction lets get right to it.
The team:
Keldeo@Life Orb
Ability:Justified
Evs: 4 hp, 252 spA, 252 spe
Nature:Timid
Moves:
Sacred Sword
Hidden power (Ghost)
Hydro pump
Calm mind
I chose this poke just purely cause i liked it. when i tried it out it really worked out good. it had a good ability. i have life orb because thats the only item i could even think of putting on it. im open for suggestions on the item. the moves: i chose sacred sword for stab and hydro pump cause it is beast in rain. after one calm mind this thing completely sweeps. also hidden power ghost is for coverage. im also willing to change that. this pokemon is actually very good but most people dont realize it because its very underused. it has a lot of power so in the rain it causes havoc. i think for the hidden power i should do ground just for coverage and seeing that i have no ground type attacks on this team. if you guys have an idea for a different ev spread that would also be nice to due to smogons lack of info on this poke. it doesnt take hits to easily so maybe a ev spread that covers that but idk. This poke fits good with all my other pokes because its main weaknesses,(electric,grass, flying,)are all covered by jirachi, tornadus, and dragonite.
Politoad@Choice Specs
Ability:Drizzle
Evs:252 spA, 4 spD, 252 spe
Nature:Modest
Moves:
Hydro Pump
Hidden power (Grass)
Ice Beam
Focus Blast
This is the backbone of my team. Without this the team could not exist. the main job as you all should know is to set up rain. i like this set better than the defensive set. Feel free to let me know which set i should use. i have hydro pump just for stab and power. hidden power grass, ice beam, and focus blast are all just coverage moves. Ice beam for dragons, hidden power Grass for gastrodon and other water or ground types. then focus blast just for like anything that i cant hit hard with my other moves. if you guys have any ideas for the hidden power feel free to comment. also should i switch it for the defensive politoad so i can more than one wall other than jirachi? if i did what should the ev spread be? I could put toxic on so then i could toxic stall with Jirachi. This poke also has good type coverage so i tend to keep it in on any poke just attack. i find myself hating specs because of last coverage.
Tornadus@Life Orb
Ability:Prankster
Evs: 4 att, 252 spA, 252 spe
Nature:Naive
Moves:
Hurricane
hidden power(ice)
U turn
Focus blast
My pure rain abuser. i like life orb over specs because of lack of coverage with specs. also hurricane is doesnt miss in rain so thats really good. i dont really know about the ability because i dont have any moves that dont direct damage. hidden power ice is for dragons and u turn is for scouting. i also have focus blast for all the tyrnitars that try to set up sandstorm. Again any ideas for hidden power are greatly appreciated. Also i wasent sure about the nature, if i should change it to timid so i can outspeed.This poke is very fragile and always dies easily like in 1 hit so should i change evs and spread it out more so that it can take more hits and last longer. Since it does not have a lot of hp should i remove life orb because it cant take hits to well. i was thinking of giving it a choice item but i havent decided.
Jirachi@Leftovers
Ability:Serence Grace
Evs: 252 Hp, 224 spD, 32 Spe
Nature:Careful
Moves:
Iron Head
Thunder wave
Wish
HIdden power (Bug)
Ok first off Hidden power Bug was a mistake but i dont know what to replace it with. leftovers is the obvious item to have with jirachi. i have iron head and thunder wave for some paraflinching action. i also have wish to heal jirachi and other pokes. Im also open to switching Jirachi for another wall. im fully aware this is the only wall i have on my team and maybe i should have more. This pokemon fits well with other pokes because its weakness is well covered by half my team. i am considering this change this poke to magnezone just cause of ability. so i am able to trap other steel types so i can finish them off with hidden power fire. The problem with this though would be that i would have no walls on this team which is a huge problem because i wont be able to have any pokemon that can take hits.
Dragonite@Lum Berry
Ability:MultiScale
Evs: 252 att, 4 spD, 252 spe
Nature:Adamant
Moves:
Dragon Dance
Dragon Claw
Fire Punch
Extreme speed
With this poke i usually set up a DD on a switch and then just go for extreme speed or dragon claw. Fire Punch is for the pesky Steel Types. i have a lum berry just in case somebody trys to poison,burn, or paralyze me. which they tend to do often. nothing really weird about the evs and he is just my sweeper. for this poke i was thinking of changing the moveset to special attacker but people have been telling me this is a horrible idea. this poke fits well with my other pokes because it covers all the main types such as electric,fire,water,and grass which most of my team is weak too.I had a latias but i changed it to this for more offense. Since i dont have enough walls i was thinking i should probably switch it back to latias.I feel like i should get rid of fire punch because it loses power in rain. i think i should change it to something that benefits from the rain.
Toxicroak@Leftovers
Ability:Dry Skin
Evs: 4 Hp,, 252 Att, 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
Drain Punch
Swords Dance
Sucker Punch
This guy is my late game sweeper. i bring him on a predicted switch and just sub then swords dance away. then i drain punch and get some hp back. leftovers and dry skin hp do rack up so that is really good in the rain. also if i cant drain punch something i just sucker punch it which is a good combo for them ghost types. i run max attack and speed which is also needed for this set to work. is it important to have ice punch on this poke? i thought drain punch would be better and i liked swords dance over bulk up but i am open to any suggestions. Also this poke is also very fragile and dies in one hit from moves that arent even that effective.
Thanks for taking the time to see this. i know i wrote a lot if you read it all thanks. Any Constructive Criticism is appreciated.
