WATCH CAVEMEN ON ABC
[email protected] Glasses
Nature: Lonely Trait: Swift Swim EV Spread: 252 SPATK / 180 ATK / 78 SPD Surf Waterfall Dragon Pulse / Ice Beam Rain Dance Okay, before I get shot for two Water-type moves, let me explain. Most people expect a Special Set-Up on Kingdra. So, predicting a switch (which happens 90% of the time), out comes that blasted pink puff ball. Oops, to their dismay, I use Waterfall and Blissey loses about 51% of its health. My only conundrum is Dragon Pulse or Ice Beam. [email protected] Nature: Bold Trait: Own Tempo EV Spread: 252 HP / 180 DEF / 78 SPATK Surf Hidden Power [Electric] Calm Mind Slack Off I've managed to sweep entire teams with this beast. No one can outright wall it except that blasted Shedinja. After two or three Calm Minds, his defenses are almost impenetrable and any damage done is simply Slack Off'd. Skarmory and Gyarados are usually OHKO'd by this set, especially after only one Calm Mind. Milotic that don't carry Hidden Power [Electric/Grass] as well hate Slowbro. [email protected] Belt Nature: Adamant Trait: Motor Drive EV Spread: 252 ATK / 200 SPD / 56 HP Thunderpunch Ice Punch Earthquake Cross Chop I'm a little mad at Electivire at the moment. His Cross Chop just missed on a Slaking and that resulted in Electivire's untimely demise. Other than that, I've been very happy with his performance. I didn't go for the Mixed 'Vire because I have a Skarmory killer in Slowbro, so I left the Blissey killing to Electivire. Also absorbs the Thunderbolts directed at my Slowbro/Kingdra/Ludicolo. [email protected] Nature: Quiet / Brave Trait: Torrent EV Spread: 252 ATK / 182 HP / 76 SPATK Earthquake Waterfall / Surf Ice Beam Hidden Power [Grass] Mixedpert has managed to enrage his brethren with the presence of Hidden Power [Grass] on this set. I have been using Brave on this set, but I've noticed not a lot of oomph behind his Special Attacks, so I was considering switching to Quiet. I've also been using Waterfall, but was wondering if I should go with Surf. [email protected] Nature: Careful Trait: Pressure EV Spread: 252 HP / 162 ATK / 96 SPDEF Shadow Sneak Fire Punch Will-o-Wisp Pain Split The EV Spread is kinda wacky, but I've seen a moderate amount of success with her. I prefer Shadow Sneak over Shadow Punch because of the priority status of the attack. Fire Punch has helped me counter numerous Forretress, Lucario, Scizor, Meganium that come my way. Pain Split is Noir's preferred method of "healing" and Will-o-Wisp pisses off a lot of Salamence, Metagross, and Tyranitar. Okay, so I've been using: [email protected] Orb Nature: Modest Trait: Swift Swim EV Spread: 252 SPATK / 138 SPD / 120 HP Hydro Pump Energy Ball Ice Beam Rain Dance Yeah, sweeper Ludicolo. A lot of people expect the Seeder Set, sending out a Celebi or Tangrowth to absorb the seeds just to have an Ice Beam blow them away. Hydro Pump + Rain Dance + STAB = Huge chunks of opponent's HP sapped away. Energy Ball is for Swampert and Ludicolo serves as my back up Rain Dancer. My problem is that if I team I face relies heavily on Spikes/Stealth Rock/Toxic Spikes, I'm screwed. So I was considering replacing Ludicolo with a Rapid Spinner. The obvious choice is Starmie, but I was wondering if perhaps another Spinner could fit into this team. |
You can't have it both ways. Either use Surf, or use Waterfall. Dragon Pulse can cover you special attack needs.

Great team, I love it. |
Oh yeah on Kingdra i had a similar idea using it mixed.
Try this [email protected] Orb Lonely Nature 54 Hp / 196 Att / 244 sp.Att / 16 speed Ability: Swift Swim - Waterfall - Draco Meteor / Dragon Pulse - Surf / Hydro Pump - Rain Dance All it needs are 16 EV s in speed to become the fastest Non-Uber in rain. Also in Rain it 2hkos Blissey with Waterfall. Ice Beam is kinda redundant due to the only thing fully walling this is steel and you hit those with Water moves any way (The Life Orb'd Dragon moves will beat other Dragons regardless). Dragon Pulse if you want it to stay in the battle longer. Draco meteor for get in, sweep, get out. |
Mixed Kingdra really works. I just had some tweaks I needed to perform on it and Azelf's suggestions have really helped.
|
the only real problem i can see is that you have 4 pokemon that are part water, i think you should loose the ludicolo for a fire element because a strong grass pokemon could take out all you pokemon (except dusknore but you would be stuck if you only had him left)
|
Ummm... it's a Rain Team. And I have Fire-type moves on my team, so I'm not worried. And Ludicolo can handle Grass-types on its own. My only problem is Toxic Spikes/Spikes/Stealth Rock.

[email protected] Timid Nature 172 HP / 120 SP.ATT / 216 SPEED Trait:natural Cure - Ice beam/Thunderbolt/Thunder - Surf /Hydro pump - Rapid Spin - Recover Outruns max speed timid Gengar with he above speed EVS. With EV investments in HP and base 85 defenses it can take hits better than you think. Recover so you can Remove Spikes/ Stealth Rock Repeatedly. Thunder can be used in your case to abuse Rain Dance or Ice beam if you fear dragons (which you, dont based on the rest of your team). It might fit in nicely with the rest of your Rain Dance team. |
I'm guessing I'd have to replace Ludicolo. But it does so well in a Rain Dancing team.
|
Probably dumb but I will suggest removing Swampert instead of Ludicolo because 1.It Has very little weaknesses 2.Its Swift Swim w/a rain dance on it will be Really fast.And 3.having both kingdra and Ludicolo w/swift swim will be good on Rainy days dont you think.
Well hope I helped...(probably not). |
