RMT: Hail Style

[Electric Pokemon Master]

I decided I would make a hail team. It has had many wins, with few losses. The main idea of the team is to stall for a while with Toxic Spikes and Stealth Rock and StallRein, and then finish off with a Jynx clean-up sweep.

Suggestions/Comments are needed!

Abomasnow @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 Atk/228 Spd/30 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Wood Hammer
- Blizzard
- Earthquake
- Focus Punch

ScarfSnow. Put over the Mixed Attacking Yeti because I need more speed. EQ for Heatran switch-ins, Focus Punch for T-Tar, Weavile, etc.

Mamoswine @ Life Orb
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 64 HP/252 Atk/192 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Blizzard
- Stone Edge
- Ice Shard

Mamoswine is replacing Jynx because I needed more power while still being able to beat ScarfChomps and Tyranitars. I use Blizzard because it deals nice damage to Weezing, Tangrowth, and Skarmory while still being 100% Accurate in the hail.

Tentacruel @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 204 HP/54 SAtk/252 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Toxic Spikes
- Surf
- Rapid Spin

The MixNape counter. It also beats Gyarados without Earthquake (even if they are rare) HP Electric stops Gyarados, and other flying types. Toxic Spikes is great for the team as Stallrein gets so much more useful, being able to phase and stall. Rapid Spin gets rid of my dreadful Stealth Rock weakness. Surf for STAB.

Walrein @ Leftovers
Ability: Ice Body
EVs: 220 HP/252 Def/36 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Surf/Blizzard
- Roar
- Protect

StallRein. The 32 Turn staller. Works great when Toxic Spikes are up. Roar for phazing, Sub and Protect just to annoy the opponent while Toxic whittles away at their health. I'm considering Blizzard over Surf just so I can damage Dragon switch-ins. But Surf has had it's uses as well.

Heatran @ Choice Specs
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 54 HP/204 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Dragon Pulse
- Earth Power
- Explosion

Heatran saves me from a horrid fire weakness, and also packs a powerful punch. When he grabs a Flash Fire boost, Fire Blast becomes superbly strong, damaging anything that comes in. Choice Specs increases the power even more. Fire/Dragon/Ground goes unresisted which is nice. Explosion to go out in a bang.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Roost
- Earthquake
- Aerial Ace

This team seemed to have had some trouble with Heracross. So I added the number 1 counter for him. Gliscor also provides some physical attacks which I need. Stealth Rock helps more with Walrein's phazing. EQ and Aerial Ace for STAB. Roost is standard for healing.

Please Rate!

im going to post my sick hail team soon. ok first i think walrein needs toxic. if you dont get the spikes up, then stallreins purpose is gone. i also think that scarf on a hail team heatran is a must. otherwise he is too slow to utilize the fire he absorbs from fires (ape). just my 2 cents

Looks pretty good, you only have two fire weaknesses which isn't bad really, but Heatran is still good here. Definitely go with Surf on Walrein. Blizzard is great for power but 8 PP is not good on a stall set.

The only other thing I might suggest is perhaps leading with Jynx. It won't be immediate hail, but Abomasnow usually cannot do much against most leads. It's up to you, I lead with Aboma on my hail team, but I used a Scarf set on it.

I've been thinking of adding a Mamoswine over Jynx because he does the same things, only on a physical side. And I could use Blizzard to take out Tangrowths and Skarms.

If I do that, then I could try a Scarf Abomasnow.

I've been looking at this team and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to put Starmie in over Tentacruel?

If so, what moveset would be acceptable?

 

[Perfection]

252 Sp.A/216 Speed/40 HP

Rapid Spin
Thunder Bolt
Hydro Pump
Psychic

@ Leftovers

Works better than Tentacruel on my Hail team. Psychic is for Machamp/Heracross/Gengar/Weezing.
Sweep and Spin.
Also:
Hydro Pump packs a powerful punch many people don't expect from a SpinStar.

Finally, being able to Outspeed Gyarados/Infernape really does help b/c even if they had EQ/Grass Knot, they are not going first...

Tentacruel also sets up Toxic Spikes for my team. Without Toxic Spikes StallRein is useless. So I'd have to replace StallRein as well. Maybe I could sub him for Articuno.

I tested Mamoswine over Jynx and Scarfed Abomasnow, and they worked much better. So I think I will be using them.
