"Your team doesn't loose much" - Delko

[Violatic]

So I was moaning at Delko, which is pretty often the case asking him what to do because I was bored and he asked me to write a RMT. This team was inspired by Mynism (whether he'll want to associate with it or not) because he was ranting about how good "RainVolc" was so I built this to play with it.
The joke team name is because Delko never spells the word "lose" correctly.
​

I'll start with introducing the team then describe each of their roles.



The Team

Members

Volcarona (M) @ Chesto Berry
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 240 HP / 212 Def / 56 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Quiver Dance
- Rest
- Hurricane
- Bug Buzz


As I previously mentioned I wanted to try this set because of Mynisms bragging.
It is actually a pretty fun set, the EVs are a little different than usual spreads, this spread was made by McMeghan and myself to make sure it outsped the whole meta at +2 while remaining as bulky as possible. Chesto-rest Volcarona still catches people by surprise and I have no idea why. But hey! Who am I to complain when something works?

Bug Buzz is a good STAB hitting a lot of threats in the meta strongly. Hurricane is a nice rain abuse move if I know I can’t KO something why not go for a confusion?

Politoed (M) @ Choice Specs Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Focus Blast
- Ice Beam



I picked Politoed because this is a weather based metagame, people will argue and try and tell you that it is possible to do well without weather but it is easier to do well with a weather so you might as well pick one off the start. That aside given my team was built under the prerequisite of me wanting to use Rain Volcarona I needed rain. I decided the set later based on what the team needed but I put Politoed as a placeholder.

Hydro Pump is my go to move on Politoed because of its high power and pseudo dual STAB. Even resists which people switch in to often take big chunks from it. HP Grass is there for Gastrodon or if I want to predict a water absorb pokemon coming in. Focus Blast is for predicting Abomasnow / Tyranitar switches who do not like it one bit. Ice Beam generally KOs dragons who cannot OHKO Politoed.

Virizion @ Leftovers
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Leaf Blade
- Hidden Power [Ice]

I picked Virizion because it pairs off with Volcarona excellently. I could have used Breloom for the same grass/fighting coverage and spore is always appreciated but I needed a way to deal with Gliscor / Landorus. Brelooms HP Ice is pathetic and he is slower. Also Virizion has the cutest little boots for the rain.

I picked Swords Dance because I already had two special attackers even if it meant that I ended up with a mixed set because I needed HP Ice. Close Combat and Leaf Blade provides fantastic coverage and with Virizions naturally high speed late game can clean people up easily.

Tentacruel (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Scald
- Rapid Spin

I needed a spinner and SubToxicTenta makes a great addition to the team. Again credit goes to Mynism here as he is always bragging about it however this was not the first time I tested it and I do agree that it is probably the best spinner in OU.

Rapid Spin is the obvious move because Volcarona needs the support Dragonite appreciates the support. Substitute is the key to this set and alongside rain dish Tentacruel can heal off the damage and allow him to stall out opponents while beating ghosts by toxic stall. Scald is a great move due to its dual STAB and 30% chance to burn hitting reasonably hard with no boosts and making sub stalling that much easier. Toxic is the last option to annoy opponents and wears down pokemon that commonly switch in and out by residual damage.

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 224 SDef / 32 Spd
Gentle Nature (+SDef, -Def)
- Thunder
- Iron Head
- Wish
- Stealth Rock



Jirachi is a fantastic pokemon due to its diversity. Especially on a rain team people don’t know what to expect off the start. It is just the standard SpDef set but with Thunder instead of Body Slam because it has a higher base power and the same chance of paralysis.


I use Iron Head because the flinch chance is nice and it helps keep damage up whilst still allowing me to provide Wish support for my team. Stealth Rocks are a necessary move on somebody on the team and Jirachi is able to switch in to so much safely that it makes sense to give it them.

Dragonite (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- ExtremeSpeed



I needed a filler mon at this point. I wanted something with a ground immunity to stop Earthquake being spammed. I have been using Dragonite as a wallbreaker for a while now and I find that generally nothing likes switching in on him. I also needed the team to have more physical capability so it made more sense than a Latios.

Outrage is a very go to move here especially after steel types have been removed. I used Waterfall because it is rain boosted making it very strong. Finally I went with Earthquake instead of Fire Punch for steel types although in retrospect Fire Punch might be a better choice to deal with Ferrothorns. Extremespeed is for cleaning up late game, if they’ve got weakened pokemon I can finish the game very quickly by using Bandnite.

The only threat I have which causes huge problems is Terrakion, who singlehandedly sweeps the whole team if he's the SD set.

I can produce a threatlist if it's needed although I'm sure you can all tell. Also if I missed anything please feel free to say and I'll correct it.
​

 

[Starm76]

Really good team, means luvdisc.

I recommand a bulkier spread on Politoed for win the Weather War.

I also recommand SubDD Dragonite over the Bander because you have Virizion as a Stall Breaker.

Ice Beam on Tentacruel for prevent from Dragonite set-up because he is a big threat and also use Toxic Spikes for abuse of SubDD Dragonite and the bulky spread of Volcarona.

In all ways it is a really good team, good work.

 

[DR ViToR]

Hey there. This is a great team and I can see that you've put an effort to it. Just some things I noticed, it seems to me like a SubSD Terrakion can completely ruin your team or, at least, do some heavy damage to everything in it. Jirachi and Tentacruel seem like nice checks, but they won't be able to switch in safely, which means you'll have to sacrifice something, and this is bad. As my first suggestion, I seriously think Bronzong could do better than Jirachi for this team. A set with Stealth Rock / Hidden Power [Ice] / Earthquake or Gyro Ball / filler can do really well with no weakness, and it would also help checking Landorus and Gliscor, that can destroy your team without Virizion. But Jirachi also provides Wish support, so it's up to you.

Brozong

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EV's: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spe)

-> Stealth Rock
-> Gyro Ball
-> Hidden Power [Ice]
-> Earthquake

Another thing I'd like to say is that I don't like that EV Spread on your Politoed. Running 252 Speed EV's is not that nice, since there are lots of faster threats that will hit him much harder without the needed bulk (Choice Specs Latios, for example). So I guess you should try an EV Spread of 236 HP / 252 SAtk / 20 Spe. This will allow you to resist lots of hits while outspeeding opposing Jellicent, Skarmory and Scizor. I personaly think Choice Scarf is worth mentioning with all that Speed, though.

Can I just say that I loved your RMT? The simplicity and the nice texts made it great. Of course it's nice to see fancy images, but this one looks so clean :]. By the way, this is my first rate ever, so please tell me if I'm just being stupid, lol. I'll give you a Luvdisc, congrats.

 

[Dk Law]

Your team looks really cool. The only thing I would change is Politoed item to a Choice Scarf. A +1Dnite with EQ can pretty much clean your team up. Timid Toed outspeeds and can KO with IceBeam. It can also help against EB Landorus, which also could give your team some problems. Hope you think about it.

 

[bubbly]

I'm agreeing that you're horribly Terrakion weak, but Bronzong like Vitor suggested obviously doesn't help that much with it. Also, you just need more answers to Rotom and other electric attackers - Virizion can only switch in so many times, and Rotom is always always paired with mons like Latios which will force it straight back out.

Basically I think you really need to try some form of Latios / Latias over Dragonite. The physically defensive Latias set with Reflect would work fantastically, covering all your major problems; in addition, both your main sweepers in Viri and Volc are usually taken out by physical attacks so Reflect could help a lot.

 

[MJB]

I know its not seen much but I believe a +1 haxorus can OHKO your entire team. With a lum berry it can set up on tentacruel and sweep.

Not sure how to fix this as all I can think of is to replace tentacruel with forretress, but i doubt you'd want to do that

 

[YTP]

you could try gyarados over dragonite?

immune to ground, physical, checks terrakion and the stuff your team has problems with

except gyarados isn't very good 9.9

 

[DR ViToR]

I don't think replacing Dragonite is an option, since it's the only plan B to defeat Specially Defensive walls such as Chansey and Heatran, in case of a fainted Virizion. That said, I still think Bronzong could fit in nice replacing Jirachi, even though you'll loose (haha) the Wish support.

 

[Max212]

Hey, very nice team! I love Volcarona in rain, especially the underrated ChestoRest set!

The team looks very weak to SD Terrakion. After one Swords Dance, it pretty much cleans up your team. I know that Specs Politoed is fucking amazing and it hits things so hard, but changing it to a Choice Scarf Set will help your SD Terrakion problem. Other Terrakion sets like Choice scarf can be played around with average predictions and double switches, no real worries there.

Right now it looks like DragMag and any team that spams Outrages can give your team huge issues. It doesn't help that your only dragon resist has a -Def Nature. So to fix this up i suggest a Ferrothorn over your current Jirachi. Adding Ferrothorn gives you another Electric resist and helps you take some pressure off Virizion. You still get Stealth Rocks and can spread Paralysis with Ferrothorn, so not much is lost. It also gives you something more reliable to take on Dragons and Landorus, which Jirachi doesn't help much with.

Here is the set:

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP/ 88 Def/ 168 SpD
Impish Nature (+Def, -SpA)
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip

Hope I helped! Good Luck

 

[Honus]

Cool team, Violatic.

Anyways Dragon Dancing Pokemon that carry Earthquake, namely Dragonite, Salamence and Haxorus are all pretty big threats to this team. It might be hard for any of them to set up, but they could all take a hit from Volcarona and if any of them carry a Lum Berry, and most Haxorus and Offensive Dragonite do, then they can set up all over Tentacruel and OHKO it with Earthquake after. +1 Haxorus Outrage OHKOs your entire team, and your only hope really is to paralyze it with Jirachi after Jirachi takes an Outrage, but even that strategy can be foiled if Jirachi has been taken out/damaged or Thunder doesn't paralyze/Haxorus doesn't hurt itself in confusion, not to mention Haxorus has probably still taken out 1 or 2 Pokemon at that point. Dragonite isn't as powerful as Haxorus, but is bulkier so that almost compensates for the fact that it can't hit as hard, plus it doesn't risk being locked into Outrage, and Dragon Claw 2HKOs everything except Jirachi, so it's just as big if not bigger a threat than Haxorus is. Anyways I think you could try a Scarf Jirachi over your current set in order to check Dragon Dancers such as the ones I mentioned before. Jirachi is capable of outspeeding and KOing Haxorus, Dragonite and ties Salamence, but the latter is extremely rare. Scarf Jirachi is also able to check most of the threats that Specially Defensive Jirachi could check [Latios, Reuniclus, Hydreigon, etc] mainly due to its virtue of typing and the fact that it retains Iron Head. Scarfed Jirachi also grants you a more solid answer to Swords Dance Terrakion, which you cited as a threat, since it outspeeds and KOs with Iron Head. Finally, I'd run a spread of 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 Spe on Tentacruel so that it can outspeed Standard Specially Defensive Jirachi and Defensive Gliscor.

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Iron Head
- U-Turn / Thunderpunch
- Ice Punch
- Trick

You could also probably run Adamant or Naive w/ Thunder, personal preference really.

Change Summary:

Tentacruel:
Current EVs-> 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 SpE

 

[Asek]

Nice looking rain team

I think that your team could benifit greatly from a scarfed revenge killer W/O changing Politoeds set. Scarfed Moximence could function as a great revenge killer as well as a late game sweeper with STAB Outrage with +1 attack after KO. I suggest you replace DNite with the following set
Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Moxie Nature: Naive ( +Spd - SpDef
EV's 252/Spd/204 SpAtk/ 48 Atk
Draco Meteor/ Hydro Pump/ Outrage/ Earthquake
This can hit and run with Draco Meteor doing awesome damage to anything not resisting it. Hydro Pump> Flamethrower as you are in the rain and Hydro Pump will do considerable more damage. Outrage is useful to clean up teams late game and Earthquake offers a way to hit Ferrothorn, which otherwise walls the set
However you may prefer the more bulky DNIte and he does have priority in Extremspeed. Your call

 

[SunStallDerp]

Switch your Rachi's nature to Sassy... that would allow it to take quite a few physical hits because of its natural bulk and also the extra speed that you get doesn't really matter since you already carry Thunder. In addition, your team looks slightly weak to volt-turn, or at least its what it appears to me, when Virizion's gone.

But overall, awesome and creative team. Gl! :]

 

[Violatic]

First of all, thank you those of you who have taken the time to look through my team.

I recommand(sic) a bulkier spread on Politoed for win the Weather War.

I think this was an oversight on my part when building the team. I think I changed from scarf --> specs and hence this problem appeared. Good spot.

I also recommand(sic) SubDD Dragonite over the Bander because you have Virizion as a Stall Breaker.

The problem being I don't really have a way to allow dragonite to switch in. I fear it makes my team that much weaker to skarmbliss teams.

Ice Beam on Tentacruel for prevent from Dragonite set-up because he is a big threat and also use Toxic Spikes for abuse of SubDD Dragonite and the bulky spread of Volcarona.

Sure Toxic Spikes might give me some utlity in other sweepers, but it completely stops the set beating ghosts and thus allowing it to spin. Also Ice Beam will stop it beating many common threats like Ferrothorn who once burned is able to be stalled out.

A set with Stealth Rock / Hidden Power [Ice] / Earthquake or Gyro Ball / filler can do really well with no weakness, and it would also help checking Landorus and Gliscor, that can destroy your team without Virizion. But Jirachi also provides Wish support, so it's up to you.

I take it you suggested Bronzong over Skarmory because it can HP Ice better? Okay so Bronzong isn't actually a bad suggestion in that it walls more things than my current Jirachi. But it still leaves the team weak to Terrakion.

Detailed Result: 252 Atk Choice Band Terrakion Close Combat vs 252 HP/252 Def Bronzong (+Def) : 56.21% - 66.57%
2 hits to KO (with Leftovers)

Even if I make a fully defensive Bronzong it doesn't solve the problem of Terrakion.

Another thing I'd like to say is that I don't like that EV Spread on your Politoed. Running 252 Speed EV's is not that nice, since there are lots of faster threats that will hit him much harder without the needed bulk (Choice Specs Latios, for example). So I guess you should try an EV Spread of 236 HP / 252 SAtk / 20 Spe.

Done, like Starm76 good spot. I may look in the what EV spread is best, but agreed it's silly to have all that speed.

I don't think replacing Dragonite is an option, since it's the only plan B to defeat Specially Defensive walls such as Chansey and Heatran

Agreed.

Not sure how to fix this as all I can think of is to replace tentacruel with forretress

I lose my stallbreaker, at what gain? I am sure that what I lose from Tentacruel being a much more consistant spinner is worse than the number of times I run in to DD Haxorus, although it could be a problem. It is much less of one than Terrakion. Though good spot.

After one Swords Dance, it pretty much cleans up your team. I know that Specs Politoed is fucking amazing and it hits things so hard, but changing it to a Choice Scarf Set will help your SD Terrakion problem.

Sure, I will try it and feedback. Can't remember why I stopped using it, I can't see any major problems.

Scarfed Jirachi also grants you a more solid answer to Swords Dance Terrakion, which you cited as a threat, since it outspeeds and KOs with Iron Head.

I understand the logic behind this, and it does stop threats like you suggest, but it also stops me having Stealth Rocks. I'm not sure how I feel about running Stealth Rocks on a scarf user. Is there a way we could get around this?

Finally, I'd run a spread of 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 Spe on Tentacruel so that it can outspeed Standard Specially Defensive Jirachi and Defensive Gliscor.

Sure I'll give it a try, makes sense.

Scarfed Moximence could function as a great revenge killer as well as a late game sweeper with STAB Outrage with +1 attack after KO.

I might actually try this, however my fear is that it has much less wall breaking ability before its first KO and it is more easily played around. That said it is always a formidable threat. Lacks multiscale too which is nice but swings and roundabouts.

Switch your Rachi's nature to Sassy... that would allow it to take quite a few physical hits because of its natural bulk and also the extra speed that you get doesn't really matter since you already carry Thunder.

Maybe but if I do I'll stop the speed EVs entirely or drop some from SpDef, since all the other stats are used and Jirachi is EV'd that way for a reason.

 

[Tomahawk]

You asked me, so here I am.

Hidden Power Ice sucks on SD Virizion! It's really only for Gliscor. And then it also cuts in your bulk, making it harder to switch in on rain-boosted Water attacks, which is what Virizion does anyways. Stone Edge is good enough in the last slot to hit stuff like Dragonite, and Gliscor does like ~40% with Ice Fang anyway so you can 2HKO with Leaf Blade (if you SD on the Protect). But honestly your team handles Gliscor pretty well anyway, you can just go to Politoed on the Ice Fang and launch a Hydro Pump to wreck something. Use 4 HP and Jolly with Stone Edge so you take on opposing rain teams a lot easier.

Anyways, the big problem as you mentioned is big bad Terrakion. Can spam powerful STAB attacks, Dragonite and Tentacruel are ruined by Stone Edge, etc. Also you should watch out for Landorus, Virizion is a decent switchin but it's 2HKOed by Earthquake so you need to watch out for it. Anyways, what I'm gonna suggest is a little gimmicky but it might be worth trying as it's still pretty awesome. Namely, Claydol > Tentacruel. Obviously, losing a guaranteed spin against Jellicent sucks but I think being able to handle Terrakion and Landorus is worth it. Claydol resists both Close Combat + Stone Edge as well as Earthquake + Stone Edge so he beats those threats handily. Don't be worried about Expert Belt Hidden Power Ice from Landorus either; thanks to Claydol's cool natural special bulk it can tank those. The exact set is:

Hide

Claydol @ Leftovers | Levitate
Relaxed | 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Stealth Rock or Toxic / Rapid Spin / Earthquake / Ice Beam

Claydol also is another great Gliscor switchin, doesn't take much from Ice Fang and KOes with Ice Beam, so that's another reason to go with Stone Edge on Virizion. Also, Claydol can use Stealth Rock so you can drop it from Jirachi, which leaves a slot for Protect (or if you feel you don't want to overload Claydol's role you can go with Toxic > Stealth Rock on Claydol and keep Stealth Rock on Jirachi). By the way, definitely change to 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Sassy on Jirachi, the bulk is much more important than the speed.

GL!

 

[Delko]

Making fun of my english :(

Anyway, this is a nice team and you already got some good suggestions for it. Perhaps something that isn't mentioned, whenever I used this team I had a very hard time against most HO and Baton Pass (ShellSmash) teams. Set-up sweepers can easily set up against Politoed or Dragonite locked in the wrong move and sweep your team from there. Not sure how to fix this without changing too much to your team. I guess you can always go for Expert Belt on Politoed to fake a Choice Item and use Encore > Hidden Power (Grass)/ Focus Blast. Not really a 100% solution but at least it prevents set-up against Politoed.

Also definitely use a Sassy nature on Jirachi, with Thunder spreading paralysis around the Speed drop won't matter much and Jirachi will appreciate the physical bulk when taking on the likes of SS Cloyster.

Last but not least, a small optional suggestion. If you are not having too much trouble dealing with with SD Lucario, you can consider an Adamant nature on Dragonite. Besides the aforementioned Lucario you won't outspeed a lot more and Dragonite appreciates all the power it can get.

Other then that the team looks more then solid, good luck!

 

[doughboy]

Hey Violatic, I have played with your team recently and I have found what the biggest problem is that your team is very reliant on rain being up. It makes playing those interim periods where the opponent switches in their weather starter in after something dies quite annoying. So here is what I would do without changing stuff up too much.

IMO ditch Volcarona. Without its STAB Fire moves, it can get stopped by the steel-types of the tier (especially Heatran) easily. It also makes you reliant on Tentacruel a little too much, Tenta is taking a lot of pressure on the team. To alleviate this I am going to suggest replacing Volcarona with a Tinkerbell Celebi. Celebi still contributes to the spreading of paralysis on this team, but it still hits pretty hard and can switch into (non- u-turn) Landorus (who looks like gives this team lots of trouble) time to time.

The next thing I would do is replace Jirachi with Brongzong (as others have said). As an offensive team, wish isn't really needed to keep stuff sticking around. Brongzong will allow you to take on physical Dragons and especially Landorus a lot more easily. However, Brongzong still retains the ability to take on special Dragons and set SR. I would nominate putting Hypnosis in its moveslot. Sleep in BW is too valuable too pass up and since people usually use walls as sleep fodder, it will give you a chance to power through with one of your sweepers.

The last thing I would do is put Stone Edge on Virizion and take off HP Ice. HP Ice has been piss weak when I tried it. I had found Gliscor could be taken on by your team much more easily, especially with Politoed. HP Ice on Virizion compounded your teams problem with getting around Lati@s.

God I love the idea of using Volcarona on a rain team. Anyways, I could see some problem's revenge killing. Here is what I propose:

Go with Terrakion over Virizion.
Terrakion (Choice Band)
Trait (Forget what it is, I think Justice Heart :)
EVs 252 ATT 252 Spd 4 HP
Jolly Nature (+Spd -SAtk)
Close Combat
Stone Edge
X-Scissor
Quick Attack

While it may be standardish it works amazingly. It destroys all the other weather starters, forces out Ferrothorn, basically anything it threatens and it 2HKO's Skarmory. Its just so good. This will also allow you to convert your Dragonite set to a set up set.

Replace Jirachi with Ferrothorn
Ferrothorn (Leftovers)
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs 252 HP 88 DEF 168 SDEF
Relaxed Nature (+DEF -Spd)
Stealth Rock
Spikes
Thunder Wave/Gyro Ball
Power Whip

This set slows down things for Terrakion/Dragonite to set up on or just KO. Volcarona will also like the support of Stealth Rocks/any hazards.


Anyways, GREAT TEAM MAN! :D
