Hello guys, I know everyone might be bored of just seeing "Rate my team" full of rain teams, but I really wish to show mine!
Please do give me any feedback whatsoever.

Pelipper @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- U-turn
- Roost
- Hurricane
A very crucial member to the rain team, nothing much to be said about this Pelipper except for the fact that I run it on bold instead of relaxed so I have to pay more attention to SpAtk mons.
Swampert @ Swampertite
Ability: Damp
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Ice punch
- Earthquake
- Power-up punch
Same thing with Pelipper, instead of jolly I run adamant to ensure OHKOs and damage output.
Kingdra @ Choice Specs
Ability: Swift swim
EVs: 252 SpAtk/ 252 Spd/ 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Hydro pump
- Surf
- Ice beam
- Draco meteor
A very common pokemon to run on a rain team as well. Now I put surf and hydro pump together to MAKE SURE I DON'T LOSE BECAUSE OF MISS ON THE LAST TURN. (based on experience)
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Rough skin
EVs: 252 Spdef/ 252 HP/ 4 Def
Careful Nature
- Gyro ball
- Stealth rock
- Leech seed
- Protect
Another very typical pokemon on a rain team as well. Rain provides coverage for Ferrothorn from being OHKO'd by fire moves. Not very proud on the moveset and item, but it will work.
Zapdos @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 SpAtk/ 252 Spd/ 4 Def
Timid Nature
- Thunder
- Volt Switch
- Hurricane
- Hidden power water
Starting from here, I debate whether I should keep these last two mons on my team. Although Zapdos is a pretty good rain sweeper due to thunder and hurricane being 100% accurate, it is slower than some other sweepers. Zapdos doesn't have enough bulk to tank a super effective move imo. Also H.P. water just for shock value hehe.
Kommo-o @ Kommomium-Z
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 4 Def
Hasty Nature
- Clanging Scales
- Drain punch
- Poison Jab
- Outrage
Now, I only keep kommo o right here because I have a free slot for Z-move, and I just think he's a pretty sick pokemon to have.
Conclusion:
I am debating whether or not to keep either kommo-o and zapdos. The other candidate for this team right now is a Tornadus Therian since it provides hurricane as well as regenerate. I want to ask if there is any better substitute for Z move holders or pokemons in general.
Thank you!
Please do give me any feedback whatsoever.
