Singing in the Rain - An OU Gen V RMT

Singing In the Rain

Introduction

So yeah hi me again! I'm back with a brand new RMT and a funky new name, I stole the layout inspiration from Spino! >:D But yeah, this team is an RMT on my newest creation; my Drizzle team. I've built them in the past and tbh, they've been awful. But I decided to try for one last time to build one and it's worked wonders, having won 8/10 battles that it has had, most of them rage quits >: But still. n___n So here we go;

Meet these babies!

@ Life Orb
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 212 Atk / 44 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- U-turn
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Hi Jump Kick
- Fake Out

My lovely lead Mienshao, Fake out actually hits hard, then I usually lead with Hi Jump Kick, Gliscor is OHKO'd by Hp Ice and Salamence & Dragonite take a big hit from it. U-Turn helps me scout as well as letting Regenerator activate so it's all good.

@ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 68 Atk / 92 Def / 96 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Gyro Ball
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Confuse Ray

I little different to the other Bronzong set I was running. It walls fierce sweepers like Latios, Excadrill, Thundurus and Salamence. Their fire attacks are useless thanks to the Rain. Confuse Ray actually works quite well, Pokemon like Excadrill take quite a bit of damage because they've rose their attack. Stealth Rock shouldn't need an explanation. Gyro Ball pretty much is self-explanatory. Along with Quake.

@ Life Orb
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 124 HP / 132 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Ice Punch
- Swords Dance
- Cross Chop
- Sucker Punch

This set works better as a full on offensive set. Latios, and other frail Psychic/Ghost types do not want to take a +2 Sucker Punch, it's pretty easy to predict when they're gonna attack since Pokemon like Latios are usually just full on offensive as well. Ice Punch nails Gliscor, Dragonite, Salamence, Haxorus etc... Cross Chop is my STAB that nails Steel types and could sometimes get Excadrill on the switch

@ Choice Scarf
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Focus Blast
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Electric]

Obviously all OU drizzle teams need Politoed, so here he is! n__n I'm using a Scarfed toed so revenge killing can be pulled off with ease. Not many can take a Rain boosted STAB'd Hydro Pump to the face and live to tell the tale. Ice Beam deals with Dragon and Grass types. Focus Blast destroys T-Tar, removing the weather status on the opponent. Allowing me to switch toed and send him in again. Hp Electric helps me deal with Gyarados, who was a huge threat to this team. Hp Electric is turning out to be better than Grass so it's staying.



@ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 64 HP / 252 SAtk / 192 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Trick
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Sprite fail again :V Anyway, ScarfTom is fun to play, usually I'll just trick it onto an unsuspecting Pokemon like Ferrothorn and watch them suffer :3 I can also use the Scarf to my advantage and outspeed some threats and blast them with a rain boosted STAB Hydro Pump :] Hp Ice deals with those ever so annoying dragons whilst Volt Switch is my Electric STAB and my Gyarados killer.

@ Leftovers
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 224 HP / 252 SAtk / 32 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hurricane
- Surf
- Draco Meteor
- Roost

Usually it would be Thunder over Draco Meteor, but honestly I needed a good Dragon STAB. It works a treat, once this thing is out nothing can stop it except for a +5 Ice Fang Gyarados Hurricane becomes 100% In rain. Having a not-to-shabby Base 100 SpA stat is great, Surf hits Heatran and other things I don't like for good damage, Draco Meteor wrecks anything that is weak to it or that resists Hurricane and Surf. Roost is usually for healing off my SR Damage, Multiscale is an excellent ability. Definitely the MVP of the team.

Ending words

I've enjoyed using this team. It's quite strong once it gets set-up. Like I said Gyarados can be a main problem, I know that Rotom-W will be suggested, I just don't know what to replace.​
