My first hail team (in shoddy, of course)

[Walrein]

Abomasnow (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Blizzard
- Energy Ball
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
The ability to outurn Starmie and Gengar seems vey tempting to me, so I made it a scarfer.
---
Lanturn (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 40 HP/36 Spd/194 SAtk/240 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Aqua Ring
- Blizzard
Now immune to Thunder Wave, Lanturn blocks his fellow electric almost perfectly. Aqua Ring for some more HP.
---
Dragonite (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk/96 Spd/162 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Blizzard
- Focus Punch
- Dragon Claw
- Aqua Tail
Not sure about this one, but Focus Punch can suprise Blissey.
---
Castform (F) @ Occa Berry
Ability: Forecast
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Energy Ball
- Blizzard
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave
I never understood how can people forget this little fellow when making any weather team. I mean, it was invented for them...
---
Mamoswine (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 66 HP/252 Atk/192 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Ice Shard
- Stone Edge
How can one forget Manoswine? OHKOs electrics in ease, just watch out for Electrive's Cross Chop.
---
Froslass (F) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Blizzard
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Psychic
It seemed to me that my team is to vunarble to fighting, so a ghost type would be obvious.

I'm not really sure what to do with Dragonite, and how to take care of my weakness to statuses. Any help?

Sleep Talk is better IMO

Dragonite doesnt do mixed sets well, smogon's agiliNite is the closest thing to one.

People do not use it because of its pathetic stats, bin it.

At the moment other weather teams rape you entirely, particularly sandstorm variants. Any competant stone edge user can potentially 6-0 you. The problem is your reliance on hail- It should benefit your team but not to the extent where you cannot funtion around it. First off, get rid of castform, it's a piece of garbage. Next get rid of either DNite or Mamoswine since both do the same job and just give you another ice weak and bring in a physical wall and a spinner, I'd recommend starmie for the spinner since mixape destrys you too.

 

[Walrein]

I replaced Dragonite's Dragon Pulse with Dragon Claw.

 

[El Gofre]

That isnt enough. Like i said you have two physical sweepers but no wall or spinner on a team that has a 5/6 SR weak.

Heatran runs you over, Scarfed ones completely destroy your entire team, but Life Orb'ed ones can use HP Ice against Nite.

I'd suggest you use a Snorlax, Rest-Talk to be specific. Counters Heatran and can rest up from status.

Snorlax @ Leftovers
244 HP, 236 SpD, 28 Def
Careful Nature
THICK FAT (IMPORTANT)
Earthquake
Body Slam/Crunch
Rest
Sleep Talk

I use Crunch and EQ to hit Ghosts who Levitate (Gengar) but Body Slam is worthy to use STAB paralysis move. ALWAYS, use EQ. It counters Heatran.

 

[Walrein]

That isnt enough. Like i said you have two physical sweepers but no wall or spinner on a team that has a 5/6 SR weak.

Just less harsh words on Castform, it's a favorite of mine since R/S.

 

[El Gofre]

Im sorry if I come accross as harsh, but im not going to dumb down my advice so you can use your favorites. There's no point taking a poke you like if its only going to last a single turn. Its a garbage poke, barely passable in UU let alone OU. You'll have to come to a comprimise, aka pick a better favorite. Its hard to hear I know, I myself was forced to pry my fingers off of ariados before i realised it sucks. But if you plan on at all succeeding at competetive battling you have to drop the dead weight.

 

[sims796]

It's a shame your favorite isn't Vileplume. He's, you know, usable. Seriously.

If you really want to use Castform, you'll need much more practice.

 

[Walrein]

Okay, I'l keep it to NU teams, but who should I use insted?

Read the post I made with Snorlax in it.
