weather teams are almost always great IMO, but in RU the only insta-weather team out there is hail. I think that weather teams are some of the best and this might be the RU team I may always use. anyway, here it is.
Snover @ Focus sash
Trait: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 SpA/ 4 HP/ 252 Spe
Nature: Mild ( +SpA, -Def)
- Blizzard
- Ice Shard
- Giga Drain
- Protect
You can't have an RU weather team without Snover. This set is really just a suicide set designed to do as much damage as possible. It isn't necessary to keep Snover in as weather teams in RU aren't common. Blizzard is there to do damage on the first turn ( Duh!), Ice Shard is for the second turn, Giga drain is coverage, and Protect is to rack up as much hail damage as possible.
Glaceon @ Choice Specs
Trait: Ice body
EVs: 252 SpA/ 4 HP/ 252 Spe
Nature: Modest ( +SpA, -Atk)
- Blizzard
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power Ground
- Frost Breath
This is the main hail abuser on my team. Blizzard with 130 base special attack, Specs, modest nature, and EV investment is truly scary, and will at least 2HKO any unboosted pokemon that doesn't resist it.
Rotom-F @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA/ 4 HP/ 252 Spe
Nature: TImid (+Spe, -Atk)
- Blizzard
- Thunderbolt
- Subsitute
- Pain Split
The only reason this thing is in NU is because of its poor resistances, but just like Rotom-W is a monster in the rain, this thing is a monster in the hail. with great BoltBeam coverage and sub- pain split, this thing is a monster on the field.
Hitmonlee @ Normal Gem
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk/ 4 HP/ 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
- Fake Out
- Hi Jump Kick
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
Hitmonlee, after the unburden boost, becomes faster than any other unboosted pokemon in RU. It's main function is to wreck fire types like Moltres, Typhlosion, and Entei who would otherwise wreck my team.
Uxie @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/ 152 Def/ 104 Spe
Nature: Bold (+Def -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Psychic
- Thunder Wave
- U-turn
Standard team support. That simple.
Kabutops @ Lum Berry
Trait: Weak Armor
EVs: 252 Atk/ 4 HP/ 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant ( +Atk -SpA)
- Rapid Spin
- Swords Dance
- Aqua Jet
- Stone Edge
With half my team weak to stealth rocks, a spinner is absolutely essential.
Anyway, thats my team, please give me suggestions to make it better!
