A Crazy Rain Dance Team O.o

[Chaostorm]

This is my first time to post my team here , it seems a bit crazy with Regigigas on this team , so anyways . heres my shoddy rain dance team that works well in both OU and UU tiers

Crazy Ball
Electrode @ Damp Rock
Timid Nature
Static
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 6 HP
-Rain Dance
-Thunderbolt
-Light Screen
-Hidden Power [ Ice ]

Crazy Ball is my Crazy lead which Supports the team with Rain Dance and Light Screen . having 416 Speed can Outspeed almost every lead . Thunderbolt is a great STAB move . Hidden Power [ Ice ] is great against Mence , Flygon , Gliscor.

Ancient Beast
Kabutops @ King,s Rock
Adamant Nature
Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 6 HP
-Waterfall
-Stone Edge
-Night Slash
-Aqua Jet

After Crazy Ball Sets up a Rain Dance , Ancient Beast becomes Horribly a fast Physical Sweeper , Waterfall with King,s Rock is great for Flinching , as well as its a Powerful STAB move , Stone Edge is another Powerful STAB move , Night Slash is for Gengar , Alakazam , and Mismagius , The Reason of why Aqua Jet is there is that it can have a good use when theres no Rain Dance. also its good against some pokemon whos trying to use a Priority move against Ancient Beast

Hola
Ludicolo @ Wise Glasses
Modest Nature
Swift Swim
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 6 HP
-Surf
-Energy Ball
-Ice Beam
-Rain Dance

Although Crazy ball has Rain Dance , Hola can set up Rain Dance if Crazy Ball is already KOd , but without the Extended turns since Hola doesnt hold Damp Rock . but Wise Glasses makes a Good use for Hola,s Moves . Surf is a Powerful STAB move , Energy Ball is a Good STAB move that is good against Ground types , Ice Beam is nice against Mence , Flygon , Gliscor

Aqua Bunny
Azumarill @ Choice Band
Adamant Nature
Huge Power
EVs: 212 HP / 252 Atk / 46 Spe
-Waterfall
-Superpower
-Ice Punch
-Aqua Jet

I love this Bunny , with Huge Power and Choice band , Its attack goes up to 654 . Aqua Jet combined with Rain Dance and STAB is Effective while it lets you hit first . Waterfall combined with Rain Dance and STAB is stronger than Aqua Jet but it doesnt let you hit first. Superpower is really good against Blissey , Ice Punch for Dragons and Gliscor ( I think I repeated this many times XD )

Amphy
Ampharos @ Leftovers
Modest Nature
Static
EVs: 252 HP / 80 SpA / 178 SpD
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder Wave
-Reflect
-Hidden Power [ Ice ]

Amphy functions as a UU Tank . it Supports the team with Reflect and Cripple Sweepers with Thunder Wave . Thunderbolt is STAB ( Obviously ) and Hidden Power [ Ice ] is ( You know what ) xd

Big Boss
Regigigas @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
Slow Start
EVs: 252 HP / 76 Def / 182 SpD
-Knock Off
-Thunder Wave
-Return
-Earthquake

Big Boss is which makes my team crazy. with the High Defensive stats and high HP , it makes it Bulky . Crippling Sweepers with Thunder Wave . Knock Off is Really useful against pokemon who relies on their items. After 5 turns . Big Boss will become a Beast which will be the opponent,s Nightmare. Return is Big Boss,s Powerful STAB move . Earthquake for Electric , Steel , Rock , Fire. What a Crazy Pokemon :S​

You mention OU threats like Gengar, Salamence, and Flygon, but then you use all UU Pokemon. The method for building teams is very different in OU then it is in UU. You need to focus on one tier and go from there. Rain Dance is only effective in UU so I suggest using this there.

Get rid of Night Slash on Kabutops. Waterfall/Stone Edge will do just as much damage to anything it hits for Super Effective except for maybe Slowbro. Throw X-Scissor over Night Slash and Swords Dance over Aqua Jet. X-Scissor will handle Shaymin whose the MOST used Pokemon in UU and it will also let you hit Slowbro for super effective damage. Swords Dance makes Kabutops even more formidable. Also, don't use King's Rock. Throw Life Orb over it. The same goes for Ludicolo.

Electrode doesn't really have the Defenses to set up both Light Screen and Rain Dance. Throw Explosion over Light Screen to take out one of your opponent's Pokemon.

The lack of a Fighting-type resist makes this team very vulnerable. Regigigas is dead weight. Most people will force you out with a Fighting-type Pokemon before you can reach the five turns needed. Crobat could work over it. Crobat handles all Fighting-types and further checks Shaymin, who really gives this team trouble with Seed Flare / Earth Power / Air Slash. It can also serve as a back-up Rain Dancer if you'd like.

Well I tried this team against OU team and it won , I think what you all said is right . If im changing electrode,s Light Screen into Explosion , Then I should Change the Ability to Hasty/Naive . Timid would lower Explosion,s power..

I dont rely on Regigigas alot . but sometimes it helps me , but I think I should choose Crobat over it . anyways thanks for the Explanation . I,ill edit the team later

I prefer Lanturn ----> Ampharos, using this set:

Lanturn @ Leftovers
Calm
Volt Absorb
EVs: 40 hp/ 136 sp. Atk/ 252 sp. Def/ 80 spd

~Surf
~Thunder
~Ice Beam
~Thunder Wave


Though Lanturn has 1 more weak than Ampharos, he has Volt Absorb, which is great to have on RD teams as most teams you face will have at least 1 T-waver to cripple your sweepers. It also has Ice Beam, which packs 25 extra power, which you may need to take out common threats.

Thunder --> Thunderbolt on Electrode. It's silly to use a lower power move when Thunder has 100% acc. in the rain.

Regigigas is useless. 5 turns is way too long for a poke that doesn't go with the rest of the team. If you want a Physical sweeper, I suggest Toxicroak:

Toxicroak @ Life Orb
Jolly
Dry Skin
EVs: 6 hp/ 252 atk/ 252 spd

~SD
~Stone Edge
~Sucker Punch
~Cross Chop

After an SD, Toxicroak tears through anything that doesn't resist it. Dry Skin heals off all LO damage, so you're free to sweep.


Hope my advice helps.

Why are you NOT using Swords Dance on Kabutops ? Its THE scariest sweepers in uu with swords dance probably, its like using Blissey without Softboiled. =/


Kabutops@Life orb
252 ATT / 252 SPEED / 6 HP
Adamant nature
Trait : Swift Swim
- Swords Dance
- X-Scissor
- Stone Edge
- Waterfall / Aqua Tail

Please.


That Electrode is meh..


Electrode @Damp Rock
252 Atk / 28 SpA / 228 Speed
Hasty Nature
- Rain Dance
- Taunt
- Explosion
- Thunder

Also there is a reason Regigigas has adapated the name "Regifail". =/

 

[Sebastien Loeb]

For personal experience, Electrode is not a good lead, I would put as lead with a Crobat with Rain Dance and Taunt and I would give Focus Sash or Life Orb to Kabutops, and I don't see the utility of Regigigas to the I intern some team.

 

[Chaostorm]

@All : I will change that Big Regi into a good pokemon , but I dunno who . Confused between Crobat and Toxicroak

@Jlizard27 : I dunno about Lanturn , but I,ill try it

@D_A: thanks for sets , I liked the Electrode one

@Sebastian Loeb: Actually Electrode is faster than Crobat , Focus Sash wont be suitable for Kabutops since it has a good Defence .

 

[Pokedra]

Run Explosion > Naive on Electrode. Try DA's set.

SD is a must on Kabutops and you might as well run LO > Kings Rock as it gives you a power boost and relying on that flinch rate isn't the best idea :)

Regigigas fails.....it really just is dead weight =/

 

[timekaiser]

Why not Thunder instead if Thunderbolt?

Rain + Thunder =

You do the math...

 

[FalconJoker]

Sliiiiiightly off topic, but I used this team on Shoddy and I actually got Regigigas going and swept the opposing team XD

Otherwise, I'd suggest switching him with something else, maybe a utility Claydol.
Bold@Leftovers
252 HP / 144 Defense / 114 Sp. Attack
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Shadow Ball
- Earth Power

And yeah, if you're using a Rain Dance team, should definitely be using Thunder.
