Hi there, I wanted to know what y'all think of this?I wanted to try tomake Gigantamax Lapras a thing because Aurora Viel sounds cool, but i wasn't sure what team niche would be a good fit for it. At first i tried a hail teams but, god making a decent hail team is really hard! So instead i sorta shifted into the direction of Rain. And here's what i sorta came up with.

Lapras hopefully will be able to be fairly bulky and be about to get it's aurora's viel set up and can possibly help with rain with max moves if needed. It also runs boltbeam for coverage and with Hydration, Rest could be very useful for recovery. Pelipper is usually the lead to get rain up and can additionally set up tailwind or threaten a scald or otherwise u-turn turn and get the hell out of there. Ferrothorn helps tank stuff, as well as get up hazards. Seismetoad is a fast special set that uses AV for the extra survivability, carrying both dual special STABs as well as sludge bomb for fairies and focus blast. Gyrados is mostly running a lum berry to dodge will' o wisp or thunder wave, and tries to set up dragon dance. i considered dropping either Crunch or EQ for Bounce for another STAB but i was not sure. Grimmsnarl is just an offensive taunter, trying to patch up some of my coverage.

Looking forward to your thoughts!
 
Welcome to Smogon! I'm locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide at least 3 lines of descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and take a look at Team Showcase to see the level of detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions and I'll be happy to unlock this. If you need help with the explanations, you can visit the OU forum and look at the individual pokemon threads for help.
