A rain team can't be a rain team without an inducer, right? I chose a Bulky Attacker set. Modest to be slower and no Speed EVs to be slower than Ttar and Ninetales. Scald is for the burn and shutting down physical sweepers like Gyarados. Ice Beam is for the coverage on Grass pokemon. Focus Blast is for coverage, and Perish Song is for last-game scenarios and forcing switches. Leftovers are for healing.
Tentacruel, the hazard-layer of this team and tank. This is a standard set, Bulky Tank. Calm is for the Special Defense boost, as I'm not using any Physical Attacks. Scald is for the mainly for the burn chance, aswell as a good, accurate attack. Rapid Spin is for getting the hazards of my field, which completely and utterly stop my Dragonite and Scizor from working. Toxic Spikes is because of the epic poison-on-the-switch and to damage Sash, Sturdy and Multiscale Dragonite , effectively shutting them down. Protect is to get Black Sludge and Rain Dish healing. Black Sludge is for healing and damging Trick/Switcheroo pokemon.
Ahh, Sash SD Scizor, my very own set. Adamant is because I'll be outspeeding everything with Bullet Punch, so I should get the boost in power, right? Swords Dance is the crux of this set, skyrocketing his Attack after just one boost. Bullet Punch kills, outspeeds and generally murders everything in its path. Pursuit is for murdering stuff after seeing the Swords Dance and predicting the Bullet Punch. Superpower is for coverage. And Focus Sash is for a guaranteed (unless rocks/burn/spikes) Swords Dance boost.
Ferrothorn (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rocks
- Spikes
- Thunder Wave
- Leech Seed
Power Whip is has more PP than Gyro Balll, Spikes is for hazards T- Wave is for scarfers who try to outspeed Tornadus T. Leech seed is for recovery.
Tornadus-T (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Heat Wave
- Focus Blast
- Hurricane
- U-turn
Ahh, Tornadus-T. The main pokemon any successful rain team has (apart from Politoed). Timid is for boosting Speed. Heat Wave is for Genesect Scizor, Ferrothorn and Forretress. Focus Blast is coverage, and partners well with Hurricane. Hurricane is incredibly overpowered and strong, with the perfect accuracy and 30% confusion rate. U-turn is for switching and predicting things that will stop my sweep and Regenerator bonus. Choice Specs is for absolutely insane power.
As suggested by Soul Fly and lots of other people this is my Thundy T. I chose Modest over Timid because Agility will already boost your speed so you need high powered attacks. Focus Blast because it has high BP (at the loss of accuracy). I've tested this set and it is very effective.
