I haven't done one of these in a while, so here we go
Politoed @ Leftovers
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Icy Wind
- Helping Hand
- protect
The lead of the team. I would rather go defensive than offensive so he can live longer and I think that being defensive helps the team more. Scald for STAB and the burn chance, Icy Wind to lower speed, Helping hand to boost your teammate's moves, and Protect because your opponent might want to try to kill the guy early.
Raichu @ Focus Sash
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunder
- Fake Out
- Endeavor
- Quick Attack
Raichu is here to redirect electric attacks, survive a hit, and get a kill. Thunder for STAB that never misses in rain, Fake Out to flinch, Endeavor to deal massive damage at low hp, and Quick Attack to kill of the pokemon that are at low hp due to Endeavor.
Mantine @ Leftovers
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Taliwind
- Defog
- Roost
- Toxic
I really like mantine and with max special defense and HP, she can survive a lot of hits. Just watch out for electric types if Raichu is out for the count. Tailwind to double speed, Defog to get rid of hazards, Roost to heal off attacks, and Toxic to deal a lot of damage even off field.
Duraludon @ Assault Vest
Ability: Stalwart
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Modest Nature
- Flash Cannon
- Draco Meteor
- Dark Pulse
- Thunder
With great typing to resist all of dragon's weaknesses, those being dragon, fairy, and ice, and hitting them super effectively is great. Recently I have run into other rain teams and they usually carry Kingdra, So I brought this guy in to deal with him and because of his unique ability, Stalwart, I can damage pokemon that try to set up and have their teammate use Follow Me or Rage Powder. Of course the main problem I had with this pokemon is the S. Def, or lack of one, but this was easily fixed with assault vest. Now for the move set we have Flash Cannon for STAB, Draco Meteor for STAB, Dark Pulse for coverage on Psychic and Ghost, and Thunder for coverage on Flying and Water.
Seismitoad @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 44 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 208 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Liquidation
- Stomping Tantrum
- Poison Jab
- Power-Up Punch
Seismitoad has the cool Water/Groung typing which is really good for killing Electric types, but it lacks the power house attack stat that I needed. I think that this moveset helps it. Liquidation for STAB, Stomping Tantrum for STAB, Poison Jab for coverage on Grass and Fairy, and Power-Up Punch for the Atk boost.
Golduck @ Blunder Policy
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hypnosis
- Hydro Pump
- Clear Smog
- Blizzard
Basically a suicide pokemon. Spam Hypnosis until it misses, which it definitely will, and activate the blunder policy, and sweep with Hydro Pump for STAB, Clear Smog to get rid of stat boosts, and Blizzard for coverage on Grass, ground, Flying, and Dragon.
Well that's it for this team. Please send any suggestions because I need them lol.
