Lickilicky (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Cloud Nine
EVs: 160 HP / 252 Atk / 48 Def / 48 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
Role: Killer of other people's weather/Physical Tank
- Hammer Arm
- Power Whip
- Return
- Earthquake
As you may have guessed, this is Heinz_Ketchum's Lickilicky, and I can't find a Pokemon that fits this role better. The goal of this Pokemon is to kill other people's weather, and then proceed to kill their Pokemon. Hammer Arm destroys Tyranitar. Power Whip also kills Tyranitar, while also killing Hippopotas/Hippowdon. Return is powerful STAB, and Earthquake kills Ninetales, and also provides some of the best coverage.
Politoed (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef
Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
Role: Rain setter/Special Tank
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Mud Shot
- Substitute
The most common type of Rain Maker, and unless you are in Uber battling, the only type. Lum Berry cures evil status. Scald is STAB, and can also burn the foe. Ice Beam covers Ice types, while Mud Shot is used over Mud Bomb because of the higher accuracy. Mud Shot covers Electric types. Substitute makes a nifty Substitute.
Bronzong @ Light Clay
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
Role: Wall/Rock Setter/Dual Screener
- Stealth Rock
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Gyro Ball
In the rain, with Levitate, this guy has no weaknesses. Stealth Rock sets up rocks, while Light Screen and Reflect raises the Def/SDef of the team. Gyro Ball is for when I'm done setting up and I want to do some damage before I die, or if I'm Taunted.
Beartic (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
Role: Bulky Sweeper
- Icicle Crash/Ice Punch
- Brick Break
- Rock Slide
- Hone Claws
Swift Swim makes this Pokemon a kind of Bulky Sweeper, while Leftovers provides recovery. Icicle Crash has STAB and a flinch rate, with higher power and lower accuracy, while Ice Punch has STAB, lower power, higher accuracy, and a freeze rate. Brick Break breaks Screens, while also providing coverage. Rock Slide has coverage, and a flinch rate. Hone Claws raises power, while also raising the accuracy of Icicle Crash and Rock Slide.
Dragonite (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus
Evs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
Role: Special Killer
- Hurricane
- Dragon Pulse
- Focus Blast
- Thunder
What's that? You don't think Dragonite kills? With the Life Orb, in the rain, with STAB, Hurricane kills. Dragon Pulse has STAB, coverage, and amazing neutral typing. Focus Blast covers Ice types, while Thunder gains accuracy in the rain.
Raichu (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Lightningrod
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
Role: Special Sweeper/Revenge Killer
- Thunder
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Grass Knot
- Focus Blast
This guy comes in on Electric attacks and sweeps. Choice Scarf gives some nice Speed. In the rain, Thunder has perfect accuracy, as well as having an awesome Paralyze chance. HP Ice gives me a makeshift BoltBeam combo. Grass Knot kills Swampert and Quagsire, and Focus Blast has amazing typing.
