Team Raindance

[ralph4ever]

I need your opinion on my team for netbattle...

Kyogre @ Choice Specs
Drizzle
Modest
Speed/SpAttack 252 HP 4
- Thunder
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Water Spout

As the team name suggests, Kyogre is the bread and butter of the team. His main purpose is Drizzle. He is also a great special sweeper.

Kabutops @ Liechi Berry
Swift Swim
Jolly
Attack/Speed 252 HP 4
- Endure
- Flail
- Rock Slide
- Swords Dance

Kabutops is my physical sweeper. He is benefitted by Swift Swim and therefore a good endure/flail pokemon.

Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Swift Swim
Calm
HP 252 Speed 180 Defense 76
- Toxic
- Leech Seed
- Surf
- Protect

For stalling purposes. Will replace him upon recommendation.

Kingdra @ Life Orb
Swift Swim
Naughty
Attack 252 Speed 176 SpAttack 80
- Waterfall
- DracoMeteor
- Dragon Dance
- Yawn

Secondary sweeper. Waterfall has good power esp while raining and a decent flinch rate. Yawn forces the opponent to switch.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Natural Cure
Calm
Defense 252 HP 24 Speed 232
- Softboiled
- Seismic Toss
- Aroma Therapy
- Toxic

Soaks up damage. Cures party of status ailments.

Raikou @ Life Orb
Pressure
Timid
SpAttack/Speed 252 HP 4
- Calm Mind
- Thunder
- Hidden Power (Leaf)
- Shadow Ball

Didn't know which pokemon to put. 100% accurate thunder and pierces through protect. Might also change this one though.

Any brilliant suggestions/recommendations?

I need your opinion on my team for Shoddy Battle

Seriously, Shoddy is 10x better.

Kyogre @ Choice Specs
Drizzle
Modest
Speed/SpAttack 252 HP 4
- Thunder
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Water Spout

As the team name suggests, Kyogre is the bread and butter of the team. His main purpose is Drizzle. He is also a great special sweeper.

Nice. But this means that your team is for the Ubers Metagame...So that is what I'll base it on.


Lanturn@Leftovers
Volt Absorb
Jolly
40 HP / 216 Def / 252 SpD- Endure
-Thunder
-Surf
-Confuse Ray
-Thunder Wave.

Kabutops is ehh in Ubers. Parafusion Lanturn, however, can destroy a large portion of a team. Since it has Thunder in the rain, it'll do a lot more damage then the regular set too.


Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Rain Dish
Calm
HP 252 Speed 180 Defense 76
- Toxic
- Leech Seed
- Surf
- Protect

You don't need Swift Swim. Rain Dish is a LOT more effective. And why would you consider replacing him? He's an amazing Ubers staller under rain.

Kingdra @ Life Orb
Swift Swim
Naughty
Attack 252 Speed 176 SpAttack 80
- Waterfall
- DracoMeteor
- Dragon Dance
- Yawn

Nice.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Natural Cure
Calm
Defense 252 HP 24 Speed 232
- Softboiled
- Seismic Toss
- Aroma Therapy
- Toxic

Good enough.
.

Raikou @ Life Orb
Pressure
Timid
SpAttack/Speed 252 HP 4
- Calm Mind
- Thunder
- Hidden Power (Leaf)
- Shadow Ball

You may want to consider replacing with an Ubers Quagsire set, but it's up to you.



Any brilliant suggestions/recommendations?

Thats my 2 cents. Parafusion Lanturn is a must on any Rain Dance team In my opinion, though. Nice team. :P
