Rate My Rain

Scizor @ Choice Band

Technician
EV's: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 6 HP
U-Turn
Pursuit
Bullet Punch
Brick Break
- Scouter. I can U-Turn into my next poke if the match-up isn't great. Takes out many common leads, and after I U-Turn and send it out when rain is in play, The extreme fire weakness is no longer a threat.


Cresselia @ Light Clay
Bold Nature
Levitate
EV's: 252 HP, 60 Def, 44 SpDef, 152 Spe
Light Screen
Reflect
Rain Dance
Psychic
- This is who scizor U-turns into. This is my major set up for my sweepers. Dual Screen and rain dance so ludicolo, toxicroak, and kingdra can sweep. It also acts as a PP staller


Suicune @ Leftovers
Modest Nature
Pressure
EV's: 252 def, 252 SpDef, 6 SpAtk
Substitute
Calm Mind
Surf
Ice Beam
-I always send this one out last. It can hold its own very so I can set up a couple Calm Minds with ease and take out my foes remaining pokes.


Ludicolo @ Damp Rock
Modest Nature
Swift Swim
EV's: 4 def, 252 SpAtk, 252 Spe
Surf
Ice Beam
Energy Ball
Rain Dance
- Just a special sweeper. Great type coverage. Nuff said.


Toxicroak @ Life Orb
Adamant Nature
Dry Skin
EV's: 4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe
Swords Dance
Sucker Punch
Stone Edge
Cross Chop
- Absorbs any water attacks. Physical sweeper. Counters almost everything. Even one shots the feared Mixmence with 1 SD up.


Kingdra @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature
Swift Swim
EV's: 6 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe
Dragon Dance
Rain Dance
Waterfall
Outrage
- Just another physical sweeper. Kind of the weak link on my team because if it gets paralyzed, it's useless.

Thats A Great Team..So Is This Team All About Rain?

yeah, but i don't want to depend too much on rain. most of my team members can function without rain except for kingdra and ludicolo. but they're my sweepers

I see 2 must have Rain Pokemon that aren't on your team. Kabutops, and that blue Spikey thing (Can't remember the name)

Those guys are a must have in a Rain Team. You have to add those.

The kabutops and omastar that i have, have the shell armor ability and i really don't want to train another one or pokesav. plus, putting them on would make my team too dependant on rain

*Facepalm*

This is suppose to be a Rain Team right?

yes, but there is situations where i won't be able to set up rain, so i don't want to be too dependant on it.

Depending on rain 100% = fail rain team

Well, it has to be 75% rain, or else it is just a regular team

rpg, everything uses the rain to its advantage, but they don't NEED you use it to be effective. It's still a rain team, just a rain team that doesn't need rain to succeed.

-sigh- I guess, but I still like 100% rain team.

Hmmm, how does cresselia benefit from the rain? I can see that i weakens fire moves that attack scizor, but i dont know how it helps cresselia.
