This is my OU rain team that I think works very well!!
Pelipper @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
- Hurricane
- U-turn
- Weather Ball
- Roost
My first mon is the rain-setter of the team, Pelipper. It has a high HP stat to be tanky, has roost to recover any damage taken ( to make sure the rain doesnt die out), and has uturn to switch out when needed. Hurricane and weather ball are just moves to maybe do take out a landorus or a rillaboom, as it can OHKO both of them. Its the most common rain setter, and with damp rock it can make the rain last longer, which makes the team ever stronger.
Barraskewda @ Choice Band
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Liquidation
- Close Combat
- Flip Turn
My next mon is a Barraskewda with a choice band, which has INCREDIBLE offensive power. Liquidation can OHKO so many mons, the only problem is Barraskewdas defense. Not to worry though with its 700+ speed when in the rain, nothing can outspeed it (other than priority moves). Incredible damage, incredible speed, close combat can do a lot of damage to other mons, and liquidation can kill almost anything even if its not very effective.
Thundurus-Therian (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunder
- Weather Ball
- Sludge Wave
- Volt Switch
Thundurus is very strong when under water due to the accuracy of Thunder. It also has weather ball for any potential swap ins to Landorus, and it does a lot of damage in general. Life orb to make it an even STRONGER special attacker. I usually swap it in after pelipper to make sure that any electric move doesnt hurt my team, due to volt absorb. Very solid mon, love it on the team
Scizor @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
EVs: 164 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 88 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dual Wingbeat
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Swords Dance
The rain makes fire type moves weaker, which lets scizor shine. Swords dance to get an insane attack stat, and bullet punch + dual wingbeat + technician also does a lot of damage. Every rain team needs a pokemon that can take advantage of the rain, and Scizor is one of the best in that respect. I gave it leftovers because honestly I didnt know what else to give it, so any suggestions on scizor sets would also be appreciated.
Omastar @ Choice Specs
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Ancient Power
- Earth Power
This thing is SO underrated. Omastar has swift swim to double its speed in the rain, giving it a 418 speed stat. Although it cant outspeed everything, it can outspeed most mons without choice scarf or priority moves. Hydro pump + rain + specs can OHKO literally every single thing that comes into this things path. I dont rlly use the other moves cuz Hydro Pump is just insane.
Urshifu-Rapid-Strike @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Unseen Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Close Combat
- Surging Strikes
- Thunder Punch
Final mon doesnt need rain to do an absurd amount of damage, so if the rain goes out you can use this to deal damage, and then swap back into pelipper. Surging Strikes does even more damage while in the rain, so rain + surging strikes + stab = owie for the other team. Does lots of damage, has high speed, and ignores defense boosts
This is my OU team for rain! Feel free to leave any suggestions :D
