Moves
========
Hydro Pump allows Politoed to 2HKO Tyranitar after Stealth Rock, guarantee the OHKO on Thundurus-T after Stealth Rock, and threaten more damage on would-be switch-ins such as Reuniclus and Clefable. Surf is a more reliable option with more PP. Scald allows Politoed to threaten burns on Pokemon that don't care as much about taking Water-type attacks such as Rotom-W, Tentacruel, Amoonguss, opposing Politoed, and Ferrothorn. Toxic can alternatively be used to hit Pokemon that would typically wall Politoed such as Jellicent and Gastrodon while also guaranteeing status instead of relying on Scald. Ice Beam allows Politoed to revenge kill Garchomp, Dragonite after Multiscale is broken, Breloom, and weakened non-Choice Scarf Latios. Encore is used to lock slower setup sweepers like Reuniclus and punish Substitute attempts from Pokemon such as Keldeo, Mamoswine, and Poison Heal Breloom.

Set Details
========
Maximum Speed and a Timid nature allow Politoed to revenge kill +1 Dragonite Speed and Alakazam. Maximum HP over Special Attack allows Politoed to more freely switch into attacks such as Tyranitar's Crunch and Alakazam's Psychic in order to check them more comfortably without having to sacrifice a Pokemon to get Politoed onto the field.

Team Options
========
Choice Scarf Politoed should be used when your team wants additional insurance against common fast threats like Alakazam and Dragonite but can't afford to fit Choice Scarf on their rain attackers. Pokemon such as Calm Mind Keldeo, Nasty Plot Thundurus-T, and Choice Specs or Calm Mind Latios make for great partners by wearing down Politoed checks such as Amoonguss, Celebi, Jellicent, and Gastrodon. Poison Heal Breloom also makes for a great partner, as it's able to take advantage of the Pokemon that Choice Scarf Politoed forces in like Rotom-W, Blissey, and Tentacruel and use them as a setup opportunity. Tentacruel and Starmie both make great partners, providing Rapid Spin support while also appreciating the rain for longevity and more breaking power, respectively.

Moves
========
Ice beam allows Politoed to revenge kill Garchomp, Dragonite after Multiscale is broken, Breloom and weakened Non-Choice Scarfed Latios. Hydro Pump allows Politoed to 2 hit KO Tyranitar after rocks, guarantee the OHKO ko on Thundurus-T after Stealth Rock rocks while also threatening more damage on would be switch ins such as Reuniclus and Clefable. Surf is a more reliable option with 100 percent accuracy and more PP. Scald allows Politoed to threaten burns on Pokemon that dont care as much about taking Hydro/Surf such as Rotom-Wash,Tentacruel, Amoonguss, oppossing Politoed and Ferrothorn. Toxic can alternatively be used to hit Pokemon that would typically wall Politoed such as Jellicent,Gastrodon and Seismitoad while also guaranteing status instead of relying on the 30 percent Scald burn. Talk about the moves in order of prominence, so Water STAB before Ice Beam. Encore is used to lock slower set up sweapers like Reuniclus and punish Substitute attempts from Pokemon such as Keldeo, Mamoswine and Toxic Orb Breloom.

Set Details
========
Max Speed and a Timid Nature allows Politoed to revenge kill +1 Dragonite, as well as outspeeding Alakazam. Maximum HP over Special Attack allows Politoed to more freely switch into attacks such as Tyranitar's Crunch or Alakazam's Psychic in order to check them more comfortably without having to sacrifice a Pokemon to get Politoed onto the field.

Team Options
========
Scarf Politoed should be used when your team wants additional insurance against common high speed threats like Alakazam and Dragonite, but can't afford to fit Choice Scarf on their rain abusers. Pokemon such as Calm Mind Keldeo, Nasty Plot Thundurus and Choice Specs/Calm Mind Latios make for great partners by wearing down Politoed checks such as Amoonguss, Celebi, Jellicent, and Gastrodon. Toxic Orb Breloom also makes for a great partner as its able to take advantage of the Pokemon that Choice Scarf Politoed forces in like Rotom-W, Blissey and Tentacruel and use that as a set up opportunity. Tentacruel and Starmie both make great partners providing Rapid Spin support while also abusing the Rain for longevity or for more breaking power respectively.
