Note: This is a competitive team but more on the fun side since they all are part ice type so they don’t get hurt by Hail. I am also open to suggestions for Pokémon with magic guard, overcoat, saftey goggles, etc that won’t get hurt by hail.

What format?
OU @sumwun
The main problem with hail teams in OU is that attack types like fire and rock are pretty common, so having any more than 1 ice Pokemon on a team puts you at a disadvantage against the many threats that use those types of attacks. Of course, if you have exactly 1 ice Pokemon, then it's not really a hail team, so that's why hail teams tend to not be good in OU.
Retagging?
I think people with more than 500 points in RMT get retagging privileges for RMT.
It’s 800 actually. I retagged it to include the tag “ou” so that it would be more clear what tier it was and so that people that wanted to view all OU teams on RMT could do so with better accuracy.
