So yesterday, poor old Tornadus was moved the UU due to its lack of usage in favor of its new form, Tornadus-T. This caused UU to become a Rainy tier, not as much as OU, since they have Politoed and Drizzle, but a significant change nevertheless. Examples of rain abusers now in OU are Raikou, Zapdos, Blastoise, Nidoking, Empoleon, Rotom-C, Tornadus, Kingdra, Ludicolo, Omastar, Gorebyss, Huntail and Kabutops. And I'm not finished. I tried a Rain Dance team for the first time, and it worked quite well, winning about 10 times out of the 13 times it battled. I'm not exactly experienced in these kind of teams, but hey, it was worth a shot. Anyway, here's the team.

Tornadus is UU? Hm.
Yeah, the smogon tiers have been updated recently and tornadus being UU now is one of the changes.
Scarf Bulldoze is pretty bad IMO. Why not Earth Power?
Earthquake is more powerful than SF Bulldoze.
