RAIN DANCE 2on2 TEAM
For my first post and topic i decided to come up with what i belive is a very powerful rain dance team for the uber 2on2
meta-game and with this i think i did a good job, like most rain dance teams in D/P i'm taking advantage
of Manaphy's ability Hydration which with rest gives him the power to come back from almost anything in a single turn and the power of his move heart swap which swaps the stats changes between pokemon .I'm pretty good with everything but EV's so i would like help with that .

KYOGRE@Life Orb
Modest
Thunder
Ice beam
Hydro pump
Filler

Manaphy@Leftovers
Calm
Grass Rope
Heart Swap
Rest
Tail Glow
The base of my team Manaphy starts the battle by using Tail Glow while Kyogre does a damageing dealing attack ,
the next turn Manaphy Heart Swaps the tail glow to Kyogre allowing it to sweep even better. After that you continue to attack with Kyogre and do what you fell is best with Manaphy , IMO this works much better if Manaphy is faster.

Palkia@ Pearl Orb
Modest
Space Break
Pulse Bomb
Land Power
Psych Up

Kyogre 2.0 works pretty much the same with Manaphy should Kyogre fall , psych up if manaphy lose a little to early.

Raikou@ Life Orb
Timid
Thunder
Calm mind
Rain dance
Hidden Power [ice]
Pretty plain and simple kills a lot of things .

Lugia@ Leftovers
Calm
Calm mind
Recover
Areo Blast
Dragon Pluse

hydro pump over surf on everything as surf hits your partner too.

 

[taziathegreat]

thank you kindly I forgot about that for a second

 

[Tinnacious]

Hmm, is Hydro Pump 100% accurate in the rain just like Blizzard? Same with Fire Blast, is it 100% acc. in sunlight?

 

[the Lexx]

No, it isn't. Neither is Blizzard for that matter (you've got it confused with Thunder) or Fire Blast in the sun.

 

[Life]

No, it isn't. Neither is Blizzard for that matter (you've got it confused with Thunder) or Fire Blast in the sun.

I think Blizzard is 100% acc in hail in this generation.

 

[Jibaku]

Palkia can't Hydro Pump. I like Surf better because Kyogre + Palkia Double Surfing = Lethal. Palkia's 4x resist to water is extremely handy here

 

[evolutia]

This is somewhat unrelated but isn't it a bit odd that Manaphy doesn't learn Hydro Pump? almost every single other water type learns it.

Anyway wouldn't Zapdos be a good choice over Raikou because of it's EQ immunity?

 

[taziathegreat]

thanks for the help everyone i'm going to change Palkia's moveset to this

Palkia@ Pearl Orb
Modest
Space Break
Pulse Bomb
Land Power
Psych Up

i'm also changing my raikou up a bit
Raikou@ Life Orb
Timid
Thunder
Calm mind
Rain dance
Hidden Power [ice]

also since marowak's thunder rod draws in all electric attacks (or thats what serebii says) i'm dropping him i'm also dropping blissey for something that has more power behind it and can still tank

Lugia@ Leftovers
Calm
Calm mind
Recover
Areo Blast
Dragon Pluse


this still leaves me with a open slot that i have no clue what to fill with

 

[Mastadi]

"since marowak's thunder rod draws in all electric attacks (or thats what serebii says) i'm dropping him"

I tested this in Emerald and:

Blah blah double battle text
Someone sends out Zigzagoon and Makuhita!
Mastadi sends out Raichu and Electrike with lighting rod!
Raichu used thunder bolt on enemy zigzagoon!
(damage)
Enemy zigzagoon fainted!

...

I don't think it changed in D/P.

 

[mightylegion]

also, you could just go for rock head trait couldn't you?
