Specially Bulky Politoed
Politoed @ Leftovers / Wacan Berry / Iron Ball
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 6 SAtk
IVs: 0 Spd (If Iron Ball is used)
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Encore
- Ice Beam
- Hypnosis
- Scald
- Politoed can easily set up Rain and survive multiple Specially-based hits.
- Can annoy the opponent by putting them to sleep with Hypnosis, Encoring Trick Room, or burning the opponent with Scald.
- Politoed gives an excellent advantage to Swift Swimmers, Rain Dishers, Rain abusers, and water types with its ability, Drizzle.
- It's bulkyness gives the opponent a hard time to take out Politoed while he/she still has to deal with the Rain abusers Politoed is paired up with
- Iron Ball can also be an option for Politoed to have absolute weather so you can guarantee rain.

Choice Politoed
Politoed @ Choice Scarf / Choice Specs
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 6 HP
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) / Timid Narure (+Spe, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump / Scald / Surf
- Focus Blast / Surf
- Hidden Power [Grass] / [Electric]
- Ice Beam
- Politoed can set up Rain for its allies and sweep within the Rain as well.
- It reaches a mediocre 156 SAtk stat at Level 50 but is made up for with its 183 Speed stat with a Choice Scarf, easily outspeeding the Genies and threats such as Starmie.
- Politoed helps its team out a lot by taking out threats to common Rain abusers that it outspeeds such as the Genies and Starmie as stated previosly
- Politoed can also run a Choice Specs set to run even more damage than the Scarf set but is substatially lower but definitely a viable option
