Uprising Rain

[DGX]

i have used this team alot on showdown and i thought i would share it so here we go:

Landorus-T(m) @choice scarf
ability:intimidate
nature:naughty
EVs:252 atk/4 sp.atk/252 speed
moves:earthquake,hp ice,stone edge,u-turn

91 base speed makes Landorus-T a good choice scarf user.When using scarf Landorus-T make sure you switch him in on the right moment or he'll end up being a dead pokemon.

Politoed(f) @leftovers
ability:drizzle
nature:bold
EVs:252 def/252 hp/4 speed
moves:scald,ice beam,toxic,encore

i needed a bulky weather starter so i went with Politoed because it can get encore.Politoed can be a competent sp.attacker thanks to drizzle.Don't let Politoed faint because it can be a very supportable pokemon.

Dragonite(f) @lum berry
ability:multiscale
nature:adamant
EVs:4 sp.def/252 atk/252 speed
moves:dragon claw,extremespeed,aqua tail,dragon dance

This is the MVP of my team and one of the best dragons in OU.With base 134 atk,Dragonite packs a punch even without a boost from dragon dance.It has multiscale ability which will make it a bulky pokemon.

Forretress(m) @leftovers
ability:sturdy
nature:relaxed
EVs:252 hp/252 def/4 sp.def
moves:stealth rocks,gyro ball,rapid spin,volt switch

I needed a spinner so i went with Forretress.Without Forretress being a spinner it's pretty much useless on a team.It's 4x weakness to fire is covered by Politoed's drizzle ability.

Volcarona(m) @lum berry
ability:flame body
nature:modest
EVs:252 sp.atk/4 sp.def/252 speed
moves:hp water,hurricane,fiery dance,quiver dance

Perfect pokemon to use in the rain and gets psuedo STAB in the rain with HP water and it KO's Terrakion in the rain.Hurricane has perfect accuracy in the rain and hits fighting-types hard.

Jellicent(m) @leftovers
ability:water absorb
nature:calm
EVs:252 hp/36 def/220 sp.def
moves:scald,recover,shadow ball,toxic

I chose Jellicent to fill in my last pokemon spot and water absorb for water-type attacks going for Landorus-T and Volcarona.It can toxic stall Blissey and Chansey then use Recover to gain an advantange.



ok that's my team and i hope i can get some feedback.

P.S. won 2 OU tournaments with this team

Its very thorough and very balanced.

If someone uses a pokemon with an ability like swift swim, they can outspeed all your pokemon.

You said how volcarona can kill terrakion with hurricane. Terrakion is faster, and could KO you first before you take him out.

It also appears that politoed and foretress kinda do the same thing. One is physical and the other is... physical. But you have fortetress as a BETTER physical wall, right? Maybe you should try to repurpose politoed as another niche.

Hey Acetrainer, nice team you have. It is pretty thourough and balanced. However, your team really does not need rain that much, and if you're going to use a crap pokemon like politoed, you better have a team that abuses Drizzle. If you want to abuse rain, add in a poke like Keldeo, whose Surf/Hydro Pump in rain can do crazy stuff like 2HKO Latios ( with specs).

Here is a good set:
Keldeo@Choice Specs
Modest/Timid- I run modest because, well, I use specs Keldeo as a nuke.
252 speed, 252 special attack, 4 hp

Hydro Pump
Surf/Hidden Power Electric/HP Ghost
Icy Wind
Secret Sword

Specs in rain. Nuff said.


If you do not want to abuse rain, replace politoed with another bulky water, like Rotom Wash. Also change Volcarona's set to a QD sweeper without hurricane. Other than that, add some pictures and describe some more. Good luck!
