Rain Team
I plan on going on WiFi with this for all purposes possible, so it needs to be strong.
Ludicolo @ Damp Rock; Rain Dish Calm; 204 HP, 120 Special Defense, 104 Speed, 80 Special Attack Surf Ice Beam Leech Seed Rain Dance My leader, who proves annoying with Rain Dish and Leech Seed, especially so considering the Damp Rock. Jolteon @ Leftovers; Volt Absorb Timid; 4 HP, 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack Thunder Hidden Power Agility Baton Pass Thunder takes advantage of the rain, Hidden Power will be Grass to take care of pesky Ground Pokémon, and the Agility and Baton Pass combination grants Speed to whomever may need it, such as Kingdra. Kabutops @ Life Orb; Swift Swim Adamant; 32 HP, 252 Attack, 120 Speed, 104 Defense Stone Edge Waterfall X-Scissor Rain Dance My favorite physical sweeper, even more so than Swampert. This is a Pokémon I've wanted to use for a very long time. Kingdra @ Life Orb; Swift Swim Naughty; 252 Special Attack, 16 Speed, 240 Attack Waterfall Dragon Pulse Hidden Power Rain Dance A special Sniper, for use with Jolteon. No, I won't get rid of the Scope Lens. Hidden Power is Electric here. Blissey @ Leftovers; Natural Cure Bold; 252 Defense, 100 Special Attack, 156 HP Seismic Toss Water Pulse Aromatherapy Softboiled I'm using Water Pulse over Ice Beam here to take advantage of the rain, and Water Pulse has a better chance of a side effect. I prefer the Pokémon damaging itself over not being able to move. Cresselia @ Leftovers; Levitate Bold; 144 Defense, 112 Special Defense, 252 HP Charge Beam Ice Beam Sleep Talk Rest A prototype physical wall and status absorber. I'm willing to consider some other Pokémon here, but I'm not sure what Pokémon both works well in rain and can be a physical wall at the same time. |
Team is too reliant on Rain Dance (even for a Rain Dance team) and all the pokemon cover the same things. Seriously stuff like Magnezone are going to be a pain.

Well you need a physical wall.
Also it should be pretty obvious...get something that doesn't rely on the rain. |

Anything that doesn't rely on the rain that fits into your team. that shouldn't be tough. As for a physical wall Donphan is probably your best bet. |
Quote:
Donphan @ Leftovers; Sturdy Impish; 4 Attack, 252 Defense, 252 HP Earthquake Ice Shard Knock Off Rapid Spin Also, I thought of using this before I saw your post. Bronzong @ Leftovers; Levitate Relaxed; 252 HP, 96 Defense, 8 Special Defense, 152 Attack Gyro Ball Earthquake Hypnosis Stealth Rock |

Um Bronzong's EVs are really messed up but yeah, it's fine. also Donphan has no business with Jolteon, HP Ice/Grass = gg Donphan.
|
Anti, he means with his Jolteon, ie same team
|
Quote:
Also luck-reliant sets like focus energy Kingdra shouldn't be used. |
I'm going to keep the Kingdra the same, since it's the main reason why I'm using Jolteon anyway.
Okay, I'll edit the team in a moment. Which is better, though: Donphan or Bronzong? |
Quote:
Also Jolteon is an overrated passer just to point that out. you won't be able to pull off many passes and by then that rain you so heavily rely on will be gone. Again relying on luck is a terrible idea since it rarely comes through for you. |
Quote:
Who would I use, if not Jolteon? I mean for this team, which is better? |
Quote:
Vaporeon @ leftovers Bold 252hp/ 148def/ 108spdef or spatk cant remember -Surf -Wish -Substitute -Baton pass |

I'm telling you I have a few logs of what happens when you rely on luck, only in the form of flinch hax Togekiss (which has a much better chance or working :0)
Jolteon will get PHazed and if you manage to pull off the pass, Blissey will destroy you and Water Absorbers will also play mind games and make it really diffcult for Kingdra to sweep. I don't know what your HP type is but I hope it's electric, and Ice Beam NEEDS to go over Focus Energy. Really I've tried that set with a Scope Lens before, even then all Kingdra did was get KOed. Honestly Jolteon is a waste of a team slot when you can just give Kingdra Swift Swim, which suits it better on a Rain Dance team. |

Maybe my luck's better than yours? *shrug* Besides, you still haven't answered which is better on this team. Donphan or Bronzong? |
I've told you it's too broad of a question. What sets are you going to use and what are their roles going to be?
|
First off, know that relying on anything with lesser than 60% chance of happening is usually bad.
Oh, Gyarados, Heracross, Mixmence weaknesses. Add a Physical wall. |
