A (messy) Rain Dance team
After a loss (I think it was 4-0) to toothache on NetBattle, I decided to acctually try to make a team. :P Okay its not much better than my old one. Okay its a mess. Please, someone clean it -_-
Ludicolo @ Leftovers Trait: Swift Swim EVs: 252 HP / 129 Def / 129 SDef Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Leech Seed - Rain Dance - Surf - Toxic Lanturn @ Lum Berry Trait: Volt Absorb EVs: 6 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Confuse Ray - Rain Dance - Surf - Thunder Walrein @ Chesto Berry Trait: Thick Fat EVs: 252 HP / 129 Def / 129 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Hail - Rest - Surf - Toxic Lapras @ Lum Berry Trait: Water Absorb EVs: 252 HP / 129 Def / 129 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Rain Dance - Roar - Surf - Thunder Kabutops @ White Herb Trait: Swift Swim EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Brick Break - Hidden Power [Rock] - Return - Swords Dance Registeel @ Leftovers Trait: Clear Body EVs: 252 HP / 129 Def / 129 SDef Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Amnesia - Iron Defense - Sandstorm - Toxic I know it really isn't too great, and it gets pwned by earthquake. I might add a Gyarados instead of Walrein. I'll probably still get beaten by earthquake. Also lost to a taunting, dragondancing, earthquaking, Gyarados since my Thunder missed it and my Rain Dance stopped. Maybe I need more speed too. :P Gyarados @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Dragon Dance - Earthquake - Surf - Hidden Power [Flying] |
Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Trait: Swift Swim EVs: 252 HP / 129 Def / 129 SDef Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Leech Seed - Rain Dance - Surf - Toxic Stop using 129 spreads. You need to personallize those EVs more. Also, needs 198 Spd to outspeed Aero. Lanturn @ Lum Berry Trait: Volt Absorb EVs: 6 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Confuse Ray - Rain Dance - Surf - Thunder Thunderdancer. :S Walrein @ Chesto Berry Trait: Thick Fat EVs: 252 HP / 129 Def / 129 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Hail - Rest - Surf - Toxic Curserein would work like a Cursepert with Ice Beam. I'd try that. Hail sucks. EVs need work. Lapras @ Lum Berry Trait: Water Absorb EVs: 252 HP / 129 Def / 129 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Rain Dance - Roar - Surf - Thunder EVs need work. Kabutops @ White Herb Trait: Swift Swim EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Brick Break - Hidden Power [Rock] - Return - Swords Dance White Herb for what? @[email protected] Here's mine: Kabutops (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Swift Swim EVs: 252 Atk / 18 Spd / 240 SAtk Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef) - Flail - Hidden Power [Rock] - Rain Dance - Surf Outspeeds Aero. Registeel @ Leftovers Trait: Clear Body EVs: 252 HP / 129 Def / 129 SDef Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Amnesia - Iron Defense - Sandstorm - Toxic I know it really isn't too great, and it gets pwned by earthquake. I might add a Gyarados instead of Walrein. I'll probably still get beaten by earthquake. Also lost to a taunting, dragondancing, earthquaking, Gyarados since my Thunder missed it and my Rain Dance stopped. Maybe I need more speed too. :P Lol what the hell is this doing here? @[email protected] Gyarados @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Dragon Dance - Earthquake - Surf - Hidden Power [Flying] Ew... Doesn't need 252 Spd and Taunt over Surf please. 264 Speed with one DD outspeeds Jolt. -HT |
Ludicolo - A bit more defensively inclined. And dive over surf, good stall move.
Lanturn - Give it a timid nature. + speed - attack Walrein and registeel = No Consider putting in a Kingdra, with the standards. For Kabutops, might I suggest the endure + salac + flail? I suppose that works ok too. Gyarados - Good. Except, Taunt over surf. You need something to kill special sponges. For registeel, perhaps slot in a Omastar. It has swift swim, and it has a high sp attack too. I suppose you want lanturn so you can switch into a volt absorber. And what's up with Lapras? Maybe you should have a Jolteon in there. Sub, Thunder, Rain Dance, Wish. @ Petaya Or perhaps include a quagsire with damp. Switch out against electrode or whatever. It can be mixed sweepage. Anyway, leave you to think about it. Hope I helped. |

I honestly wouldn't make them all Rain Dancers, becase you lack some of the staple moves on some of your Pokemon like Lapras and Lanturn are ment to be Boltbeamers.
[email protected] Nature:+Sp. attack,-def EVs:252 Sp. attack, 252 HP, 6 Speed Confuse Ray/Rain Dance/Rest T-Bolt Ice Beam Surf [email protected] Nature:Modest Trait:Swift Swim EVs:252 Sp. def, 252 HP, 6 Sp. attack Giga Drain Rain Dance Leech Seed Ice Beam/Toxic I perfer Ice Beam.

As much as i like ur username i'm going to have to seriously disagree with u in the case of dive
all dive does is give the opponent the chance to a. switch to a water absorber b. boost stats with CM,SD,BD,Agility,and off course Dragon Dance c. baton pass, sub etc Very crappy. Lanturn[modest]@Leftovers EVs - hp,SpAtt,SpDef ice beam thunderbolt rest toxic/surf |
Ok, I see your point. so I guess surf is better. My bad. o_o;
|
i thought you knew better P. =(

your clean raindance team
Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Max out ur EVS 4 HP and defense 1st. Ability: Swift Swim Surf Rain Dance Toxic Brick Break Lanturn @ Leftovers Max out the evs 4 speed and sp atk Ability: Volt Absorb Surf Rain Dance Thunder Confuse Ray Walrein @ SHell Bell Max out the evs in defense and sp def Ability: Thick Fat Surf Ice Beam Earthquake Sheer Cold Lapras @ Leftovers Max out the EVS in HP and Special Defense Ability: Water absorb surf rain dance thunder body slam kabutops @ kings rock EVS max out with atk and spd surf rain dance brick break return Gyarados @Leftovers EVS Max out ATk and SPd Surf Rain Dance Thunder Earthquake |
Once again, proving you have no clue what you're talking about Poke-Master...
Anyway: [email protected] Berry EV: 252 Speed, 252 Sp Att, 6 Sp Def Nature: + Sp Att, - Att Rain Dance Hydro Pump/Surf Giga Drain Ice Beam You want a sweeper, not a staller. Meet the Omastar wannabe. Ludicolo's defences and type give it enough protection and it's Special Attack is not too bad at all. Lanturn - consider Rest over Confuse Ray if you want a bit of stalling/status defence. Otherwise, Thunderdancing works well. Walrein - Let's give it a Swampert set... [email protected]/Chesto Berry EV: 252 HP, 129 Att, 129 Sp Def Nature: + Att, - Sp Att Curse Rest Earthquake Ice Beam/Rock Slide STAB Ice Beam can still OHKO dragons with Adamant nature. Lapras - maybe a bit too much Thunderdancing? Don't need Rain Dance on everyone. [email protected] EV: 252 HP, 129 Sp Att, 129 Sp Def Nature: + Sp Att, - Att Surf Ice Beam Thunderbolt/Thunder Rest/Roar [email protected] Berry EV: 252 Att, 252 Speed, 6 Def Nature: + Speed, - Sp Att Endure Flail HP Rock/Rock Slide Brick Break Gyarados - already been covered. Taunt is your friend |
I myself like
Kabutops[adamant]@salac berry EVs - Sp,Def,Att sword dance flail rockslide endure/substitute but hey brick break works fine........ blah i think rest is a must have on the tank that is lapras........ toxic/yawn are also good moves on walrein..............u know |
kingdra isnt that bad, alot of ppl use it and its pretty good, it jsut has to have raindance inorder for it to sweep well, plus it only has 1 weakness: dragon
@leftovers; *swiftswim is very helpful here* raindance/rest surf ice beam toxic |

Also, Kabutops Sp.Atk SUCKS! I dunno why HoundoomTrainer said Kingdra is a crappy sweeper and then suggested Surf on Kabutops... Go for a physical attack instead, and Indure into Flail is a nice combo too, killed lots of Pokemon that way. |
228 SpAt * 1.5 (SATB) * 1.5 (Rain Dance) = 513 SpAt when using Surf
Not too shabby. Pretty good for something that physical sweeps. |

Also, ever try Kingdra on NetBattle? It gets laughed at, including by my team. :) -HT |

I like a sub/flail or endure/flail Kabutops... with some physical moves. You should have some physical attacks in a rain dance team, or blissey laughs at you.
|
In order to make this a successful team you must cover up your weaknesses i.e. the ones thoughtfully listed out by ducks and by Thunder'ers. :p By that I mean remake this team from the bottom. In fact I'll make a RainDance team and try to show you peoples how to do it. ;D
Of course it'll have to go through rigorous testing before it can be done perfectly but whatever. :p |
