i'm new to pokemon pvp and im interested in your rain team - might i ask, what sort of rain team build are you running? Thanks :)

Thanks for the reply :) U r right about the weakness.. Do you maybe have any specific ideas (pokemons) in mind? Like replacing Hippowdon with Tyranitar maybe? i Im not sure about other effective rock pokemon. Again the team doesn't have to be sandstorm based. Another team i was running which i liked was: skarmory, swampert, snorlax, umbreon, alakazam and volcarona :) edit: i fount water a much harder counter to my team than fire. Fire was soaked pretty well by snorlax and umbreon (special) and hippowdon (physical). Dunno.

Hey! I have been running a team but recently it hasn't been going well. I have played pokemon all my life, but im pretty new to PVP so excuse my stupid questions or team imbalance if you spot an obvious one. First off, i was trying to build around a sandstorm stall team like this: Physical wall: Skarmory (Impish) Spikes, Whirlwind, Roost, Toxic Physical wall: Hippowdon (Impish) Earthquake, Stealth Rock, Roar, Slack Off Special Wall: Snorlax (Adamant) Chip Away, Rest, Curse, Sleep talk (he also proves useful as a late sweeper) Sweeper: Excadrill (Jolly) Swords Dance, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Brick Break Cleric/Special Wall: Umbreon (Bold) Protect, Toxic, Foul play, Wish Sweeper: Magnezone (Modest) Thunderbolt, Volt Switch, Hidden Power(fire), Flash Cannon The idea was, since steel pokemon can't be poisoned with toxic (which is usually my win condition), Magnezone would lock them down. I found that the team is really weak to Volcarona - only snorlax can barely survive and outlast her. I also got some backup pokemon in my PC: Volcarona(special sweep), Salamence(phys sweep, Alakazam(special sweeper), Swampert(phys wall), Starmie (bulky spnner) and Blaziken (Phys sweep) I dont mind using another completely different team without sandstorm theme, as long as it works with any of the pokemon that i got. I also got enough money to buy another pokemon to fit my new team from the Global Trade link. Bottom line is, i wanna create a better working team with the pokemon that i have (+another one i can buy) Thanks!
