Mine has the ability Rain Dish. It knows:

Rain Dance: To heal HP and increase power of Surf.

Surf: Good power, high accuracy, STAB.

Giga Drain: Decent power, high accuracy, heals Ludicolo, STAB.

Tickle: Lowers attack and defense.

Mine has Substitute instead of tickle and I have a leftovers on it so when I use Substitute the three healing aspects help restore the lost hp

Rain dance, Heal you every turn

giga drain, Heal you more

Toxic, Hurt oponet, while you are being healed

Protect, while your oponet is dying you are getting healed.

MexicanDuckwithaPineappleonitsHead (Ludicolo) @ Choice Specs/Life Orb/Lefties

Trait: Swift Swim/Rain Dish

EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe

Modest Nature (+SpA, -Atk)

  • Hydro Pump
  • Giga Drain
  • Ice Beam
  • Focus Blast/Rain Dance

Hydro Pump is good STAB.
Giga Drain provides healing and is STAB as well.
Ice Beam gives great coverage along the dual STAB moves.
Focus Blast hits Ferrothorn.
If you're not playing in OU though, Rain Dance is an alternative to boost Ludicolo's Speed and Hydro Pump.
If using Rain Dance, a spread of 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe is viable.
Also, you can use the first EV spread with Rain Dish, still maintaining the Tank Role.
Of course if using Rain Dance, go with Life Orb or Lefties.
If in OU and using Focus Blast though, Choice Specs is viable to hit hard.

The Quintuple S Pokemon

Item: Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Swift-Swim
EVs: 252 Attack, 160 Speed, 98 Defense


Swords-dance
Seed-bomb
Nature-power/Thunder-punch/Ice-punch
Waterfall


Whats that? What is the fifth S? Well it is Sweeper. Swords-dance is for boosting that Average Attack stat. Seed-bomb is STAB. Nature-power(Which become E-quake in PO/Wi-fi), and Thunder/Ice-punch for your choice of coverage. Waterfall is more STAB.

Ludicolo Rain Staller



252hp 52def 104spatk 100spdef


Modest


Rain Dish


@leftovers


Giga Drain -healing
Whirlpool -slow damage
Toxic -stall
Protect/Leech seed/ice beem


Probably my favorite set.
Whirlpool may seem odd but IMO it works great on ludicolo.
It gets added boost in rain, damages them each turn like toxic and it prevents them from switching which is great.

Leftovers, Leech seed, giga drain and rain dish works well every turn.

Ludicolo has great typing and is my favorite pokemon in the rain it can also do a sweeper set

@life orb
252spatk 252speed
