Likely tier: Neverused

Answer 1

I can finally do the moveset. Has a nice strategy going for it, but stats and typing makes it Neverused.

Ability: Hydratin

EVs: HP, Sp Attack, Speed Nature: Timid

Rest: Rain Dance+Hydration means this guy fully heals, then wakes up right away.

Rain Dance: Activates Hydration and powers up Surf. Also makes Gale better.

Surf: STAB. Powered up by Rain Dance.

Gale: STAB and a good chance to confuse. According to Will, this move has 100% accuracy in any weather.

Comments

EXACTLY what I was thinking! Boosted Water STAB and fully accurate Flying STAB. Rest without drawbacks is great too. It may be NU, but it'll really shine in that environment.

Modest Nature (+SpA , -Atk)

  Hurricane's accuracy is increased to 100%, being able to break through Protect & Detect 25% of the time, STAB .
  Ice Beam is a nice coverage move .Covers Grass, Ground, Flying and Dragon types.

Comments

Good set. However brave bird dosent work as its physical and Swanna has bad attack and no attack Evs. Go with hurricane.

hmm, i forgot it was Attack.

Answer 4

Substitute-Protects you from electric types for a while.

Roost- Restores health used for Substitute and Brave Bird.

Surf- Good Power and accuracy.Deals with rock types.

Brave Bird-High power and recoil damage won't be a problem because you'll have roost to restore your health.
