*Ack. Protect with a Choice Scarf. Never a good idea. Really, status moves with any choice item is a bad idea. Also, Pelipper does much better with a Damp Rock (you’ll see why), even though this isn’t a rain team.*

*Pelipper @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle  
EVs: 248 HP / 232 Def / 28 SpA  
Bold Nature  
 - Defog  
 - U-turn  
 - Hurricane  
 - Scald*

*That’s the set I run. Damp Rock increases the turns of Drizzle rain. The EVs make it bulky, with a bit of a boost to special attack. Bold increases Defense at the cost of lowering Attack. Defog clears entry hazards. U-Turn is pivoting, in case you get yourself into a tricky situation. Hurricane is STAB that will never miss in the rain. Scald is STAB with a burn chance, and it’s boosted by the rain.*

*The Dragapult set you’ve made is completely walled by Fairy types. I would use a Special Dragapult, since it’s arguably better due to having more options for moves. I would definitely switch out the Rocky Helmet as well.*

*Dragapult @ Choice Specs  
Ability: Infiltrator  
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe  
Timid Nature  
 - Draco Meteor  
 - Thunder  
 - U-turn  
 - Shadow Ball*


*I would try this set instead. Choice Specs boost your special attack, at the cost of only being able to select the first move it executes until it switches out. Infiltrator bypasses Substitute. The EVs max out it’s speed and Special Attack. Timid lowers Attack and boosts Speed. Draco Meteor is STAB, and it works well with the constant switching you do with a Choice item. Thunder has perfect accuracy in the rain, which Pelipper sets up. U-Turn is pivoting in case you afford to be Choice locked into another move. Shadow Ball is STAB.*

*Clefable could definitely be better. I would try a more bulky set with Leftovers and Magic Guard.*

*Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 SpDef
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
 - Moonblast
 - Psyshock
 - Stealth Rock
 - Soft-Boiled*


*This is the set I run for it. Leftovers allows it to gradually heal itself. Magic Guard allows it to ignore things such as Burn/Poison damage, entry hazard damage, and Leech Seed. The EVs are for pretty good bulk. Bold lowers Attack and raises defense. Moonblast is STAB. Psyshock covers Poison types. Stealth Rock sets up entry hazards. Soft-Boiled is for healing.*

*I don’t think Articuno is a good choice, also, the EVs you’ve assigned to it don’t suit the set at all. I guess you could make Articuno work, let’s see what I can do.*


*Articuno @ Leftovers  
Ability: Pressure  
EVs: 140 HP / 188 SpA / 180 Spe  
Modest Nature  
IVs: 0 Atk  
 - Roost  
 - Tailwind  
 - Toxic  
 - Ice Beam / Freeze-Dry*


*Ok, so this is the set I came up with. Leftovers are, once again, for slowly healing you every turn. Pressure is to try to PP stall the opponent, maybe on a Choiced set. The EVs allow it some bulk, power, and speed. Modest is for the Special Attack boost. Roost is for healing. Tailwind is support. Toxic is for damaging your opponent more and more over time. Ice Beam and Freeze-Dry are STAB, Freeze-Dry hits Water types super effectively and Ice Beam is more powerful.*
