My Rain Dance team =3

[gypomaster]

Looking for good rates peoplz!

"Elechode" - Electrode
Item: Damp Rock
Ability: Static
Nature: Jolly
EV: 252 hit points|84 attack|172 speed
*Rain Dance
*Light Screen
*Taunt
*Exploogion

Basic lead. I want to help the special defense of my team, so instead of Thunder as usual I put Light Screen instead. Plus I really don't see Elechode living that lonh anyways ;^_^

"AC/DC" - Zapdos
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Modest
EV: 84 hit points|172 speed|252 special attack
*Thunder
*Thunderbolt
*Hidden Power -Ground-
*U-Turn

This little birdie is supposed to come in to be the janitor or deal some heavy damage to my opponent. The best Thunder on Over Used in my opinion. Hidden Power -Ground- is because this guy outruns Scarf Heatran and it has good coverage with Electric. Luckily I have a bunch of ways around Gliscor. (If you're wondering about the name, 'Thunderstruck')

"Lump" - Gastrodon
Item: Damp Rock
Ability: Sticky Hold
Nature: Bold
EV: 212 hit points|160 defense|136 special defense
*Rain Dance
*Counter
*Mirror Coat
*Recover

My second Rain Dance user. Kind o' iffy on this one, but I like how he counters Trick users (Rotoms especially). If something is using a move to hit him and it's obvious, she can just counter the attack and take out something that's coming in for an easy kill and heal the damage off later. I have yet to figure out what it should survive though, any suggestions for the EVs?

"I Can't See" - Starmie
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Timid
EV: 8 hit points|32 defense|216 speed|252 special attack
*Surf
*Thunderbolt
*Ice Beam
*Recover

I always wondered how Starmie managed to hit anything without eyes o.o I like a Life Orb set with good stability. Helps finish off weakened teams or a team that just lost its only special defense wall.

"I'm So Standard" - Kingdra
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
Nature: Modest
EV: 120 defense|16 speed|252 special attack|120 special defense
*Surf
*Outrage
*Draco Meteor
*Waterfall

As I said he's on just about every Rain Dance team. Not much to be said as he is my main sweeper.

"I'm Not So Standard" - Swampert
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Torrent
Nature: Adamant
EV: 160 hit points|252 attack|92 speed
*Waterfall
*Earthquake
*Avalanche
*Stealth Rock/Outrage

As I said he's on just about every Rain Dance team. Wait. No, no he isn't. Most wouldn't expect Swampert to be a powerhouse; especially after I send him in to just put up rocks. After that he provides the physical support my party needs since it's almost all special ;^_^

-~*~-
What does everyone think!?!? I want it to be slightly unique though Kingdra doesn't really help :x

Put DD on kingdra, over draco meteor maybe. Surf is nearly as strong in the rain anyways.

Thunderbolt on Starmie? You mean Thunder, right?

Also, take out Thunderbolt on Zapdos. Use Thunder, HP Ice, Roost, and a move of your choosing. I would say Heat Wave, but it's a Rain Team.

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

=D I see AC/DC. You mean those power thingos, right? =P

I dunno, but you might want Psychic on Starmie for extra STAB. :\

Put Rash over Modest on Kingdra, as Modest lowers attack and makes your Waterfall and Outrage moot.

Your parent's must be proud.

In no way would it. Counter and Mirror Coat are technically attacks so it wouldn't effect those two moves. I have actually used this set to great success.

Your Kingdra set needs work with the moveset: Outrage should be replaced with Hidden Power [Grass/Electric]. I would say Grass as you team has no way to take out Swampert without it. You will also want Rain Dance > Waterfall so you won't be pushing for switching immediately from Gastrodon to Kingdra for the clean up sweep.

Swampert should run Stone Edge. It gives you excellent coverage and hits rediculously hard. If you want to see why I say this, click <removed link>. I was interested in how well your team would work so I gave it a test run with some modifications.

With some Ev work your team could improve as well but I am not in the mood to do specific Ev's/stay awake.

Just a suggestion.

A Toxicroak works well on a rain dance team btw.

Toxicroak @ Choice Band/Muscle Band
Dry Skin
Adamant/Jolly
6HP/252Atk/252Spe
- Cross Chop
- Stone Edge
- Sucker Punch
- Earthquake/Poison Jab

Just a small suggestion.
