Corzn Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hello guys, Im pretty new to the competitive scene but I want to take my shot on a Rain Team. I need your suggestions and help on completing my team. Pelipper @ Damp Rock Bold Nature Drizzle Defog U-Turn Roost Scald/Hurricane (?) EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Sp. Def IVs: 14 Atk / the rest 31 Kingdra @ Life Orb Modest Nature Swift Swim Ice Beam Surf Rain Dance Dragon Pulse EVs: 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Speed / 6 HP IVs: 9 Atk / the rest 31 Scizor @ Choice Band Adamant Nature Technician U-Turn Bullet Punch Pursuit Super Power EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 Speed IVs: 15 Sp. Atk / the rest 31 Ferrothorn @ Leftovers Careful Nature Iron Barbs Spikes Stealth Rock Gyro Ball Leech Seed EVs: 252 HP / 252 Sp Def / 6 Def IVs: 11 Sp. Atk / 14 Speed / the rest 31 Salamence @ Life Orb (Mix Mence) Adamant Nature Intimidate Draco Meteor Outrage Flame Burst Earthquake EVs: 64 Atk / 194 Sp. Atk / 252 Speed IVs: all 31 So in my opinion I need a 6th Pokémon that counters setup moves like Stealth Rock or Spikes with (for example) Rapid Spin. This Pokémon should also be pretty bulky physical defense wise because Pelipper is just a pseudo Physical Wall only to setup and scout mostly. Also I have weaknesses against fighting types. Thats why I was thinking about Hurricane on Pelipper, but Scald burn could be useful too. I appreciate every suggestion or criticism. You can screw all of my Pokémon if you have a better Rain Team option. I really want to use this Kingdra so Kingdra and Pelipper are gonna be core Mons (?) Link to comment
vetsosev Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I can think of 2-3 possible mons for this combo First one is Starmie! A bulky BOLD one will work well against fighting types, which you got a problem with. It's a very versatile mon with a huge movepool. Rapid Spin, Recover, Confuse Ray, Cosmic Power, Reflect n Light Screen, Thunderwave, Rest, Toxic. Those are some good options you can try, and combined well, create a perfect staller. You can also make it agrresive, investing in spa/speed and giving it Thunder or Hydropump or Psychic etc Second one is Blastoise. Bulkier but not that versatile, also the fighting type problem remains. Third is Tentacruel, an excellent special wall. It learns Acid armor to become a physical wall as well, however you may lose momentum that way (except if you switch ferrothorn into a physical wall). I could suggest a couple more flying defog users, but I believe Starmie fits in your team really well! Also, give your Salamence Hurricane over Flame burst. Fire type is strong against Grass, Bug n Steel. Wanting to counter ferrothorn and scizor is good, however the damage they'll take is 70x4/2(rain)= 140 Hurricane will deal 120x1,5(stab)=180, plus the 30% confusion probability. Overall a great team!
