Politoed (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Protect
- Toxic
- Perish Song
- Scald

Standard toed, works good as a lead, scouts choicers, can take some physical hits

Toxicroak (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Cross Chop
- Ice Punch
- Sucker Punch

My Physical attacker, abuses rain, has a good movepool and even priority, not to mention scaring ttar out, supports Starmie greatly by handling ferro, bliss, chansey

Starmie @ Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Thunder
- Recover/HP grass

Does nearly exactly what swift swim ludicolo does, abuse its amazing coverage and sweep.
Recover would seem like the better choice (I use this the most), but at times I alternate hp grass just because it nails gastro who completely walls this

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aqua Tail
- Ice Fang
- Dragon Dance
- Bounce

Primary rain setup sweeper of team, just overall great, good bulk, ability to force setups etc. etc.

Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip

Standard thorns, nothing worth talking about

Dragonite (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hurricane
- Surf
- Thunder
- Fire Blast (???)

Spam hurricane, use surf or thunder accordingly as needed for coverage depending on situation



Side notes:

-often feel that pert and tornadus dont do this team much good, the latter has horrid typing, sr weakness and pert is just, meh. So i replaced the former with ddance gyarados and the latter with the much bulkier, specsnite

 

[The Real Gamer]

This team could is pretty Reniculus weak considering it's a very common anti-weather Pokemon. It can easily set up on half of your team and I wouldn't feel comfortable relying on your only reliable physical attacker to get rid of it with Sucker Punch (which can be played around).

Because of this I'd recommend replacing Pert with CB Scizor to keep a strong physical attacker that can take it on while also adding some priority to your team since you lack any scarfs to revenge kill weakened stuff.

As for Tornadus I've always been a bigger fan of Choice Specs Dnite since it still packs a punch like Tornadus but can take a lot more hits from stuff. If SR becomes too much of a problem for it then maybe you could consider squeezing in Rapid Spin on Starmie somewhere?

 

[Wave⁂]

If you want a physical CB Water-type, I'd go with Kingler, Crawdaunt, or Gyarados. Kingler's Attack stat is ****ing ridiculous, and you can run Life Orb and get the same damage output as Swampert (you deal 2 damage more to 252 / 252 Cresselia, that's not 2%). Kingler also has good coverage in Sheer Force Rock Slide, X-Scissor, Superpower, and Return. Crawdaunt gets Adaptability, which is like the ability version of punching someone in the face. Water STAB, Crunch, Superpower, maybe Return, and you're set. And if you want something viable, ****ing Gyarados. Intimidate gives you bulk, Waterfall / Aqua Tail does all the damage, Ice Fang does a whole 3 damage less to 252 / 252 Cresselia than Swampert's Ice Punch. Carry Bounce and troll bulky Grasses.

If you want bulky stuff, you could try 3 attacks / Roost Dragonite in place of Tornadus.


PS: **** you ninja TRG Dragonite was my idea

 

[The Real Gamer]

Kingler sounds interesting. Plus it gets X-Scissor? I'd try it...

 

[Enzo]

Tried out your suggestions.

Kingler and crawdaunt had their shining moments but really, they just didnt cut it to be honest.

I tried both cb gyara and ddance gyara and concluded that ddance was better because intimidate often provides a turn for free setup and i then get same power as cb but with speed and 3 attack access,

specsnite also turned out much better than tornadus because it doesnt have **** typing and defenses, not to mention a much better movepool and can hit ttar with surf instead of being a sitting duck like tornadus.
Haven't had a chance to try out cb scizor because ddancedos is just so satisfying atm

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Crawdaunt is a ****ing beast in rain.

Alternatively, you could run CB Azumarill. It's a great revenge killer and can do some massive damage with Aqua Jet + Pure Power + CB + Rain + Stab.

 

[Wave⁂]

I totally forgot about Azumarill. Azumarill's movepool isn't great, though, it's really just the bare minimum.

I'd consider ExtremeSpeed and Draco Meteor on Dragonite.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Dont really need that large a movepool.

Aqua jet / waterfall / ice punch / brick break

but dont expect to sweep teams any time soon with Azuzu

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Azumarrill gets snuffed hard by Jellicent and Slowbro anyway, right? You might as well use Band Azu for that power priority.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

I hate Jellicent. It's such a free switch-in 99% of the time and you can't use pursuiters because he'll just will-o-wisp them on switchin. =/

 

[Enzo]

Gonna try banded azu since i have no reliable priority and it nails a lot of sandstorm sweepers hard if, gofd forbid politoed were to die or something,

 

[The Real Gamer]

I hate Jellicent. It's such a free switch-in 99% of the time and you can't use pursuiters because he'll just will-o-wisp them on switchin. =/

That's because Jellicent is...





Excellent.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

That's because Jellicent is...





Excellent.

Anyways, how's the Banded Azu working out for you?

 

[kirbyraeg]

I love jellicent cuz curleh mustache

 

[Enzo]

so far so good with azu
edit: being choiced is startign to become an issue with azu, hat do you guys think of expert belt, like to bluff a band

And its so odd how jelli is so good, yet his stats (even bulk layout) aren't even that goo

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Stats are far from entirely what makes a Pokemon good. Great movepool, typing, immunities and key partners all make Jellicent a solid Pokemon.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

It probably has something to do with being able to come in on 3 types (normal, fighting and water), having a great movepool and pringles.
