So, my main problem is Kingdra.
- Scald Dual Wingbeat has showed up far too often.
Ability: Cursed Body Swap Mild for Timid/Modest and 4 Attack for 4 Special Defense as well, since Flip Turn isn't really meant to do damage.
Here are some calcs: 252+ Atk Life Orb Rillaboom Grassy Glide vs. 252 HP / 212+ Def Pelipper in Grassy Terrain: 153-183 (47.2 - 56.4%) -- 84% chance to 2HKO, 252 Atk Choice Band Rillaboom Wood Hammer vs. 252 HP / 212+ Def Pelipper in Grassy Terrain: 277-327 (85.4 - 100.9%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO, 252+ Atk Life Orb Rillaboom Grassy Glide vs. 252 HP / 148 Def Pelipper in Grassy Terrain: 179-212 (55.2 - 65.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO, 252 Atk Choice Band Rillaboom Wood Hammer vs. 252 HP / 148 Def Pelipper in Grassy Terrain: 322-379 (99.3 - 116.9%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO.
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
EVs: 248 HP/252 Defence/4 SpD/4 SpAtk Volt Switch is for pivoting. EV's/IV's: TBA To me, it looks good, but it doesn't preform as well as I thought in battle. Rillaboom already has great physical bulk, so Assault Vest seems better. Scolipede - I’d teach it Batam Pass instead of Earthquake. Ice Beam - Draco Meteor Flags vs Downvotes with cinderace and zeraora. IVs: 0 Atk EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe raw download clone embed report print. HP seems better than just max defence. Adamant Nature EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Quiet Nature Check out the site if you want exact sets. Why was my post hidden? Recover is to recover HP. Hmm Metal Claw with CB doesn't seem that good. What Pokemon should be replaced for physical sweepers that do well in the rain? I took some EVs from Defense to put into Special Attack, for a bit of a power boost. U-Turn is for pivoting.

Aug 4, 2020 #1 I wanted to create an offensive rain team with less favourable mons like pelipper because I am so used to fighting the same teams e.g. - Roost I did not in fact change the item though, and I'll just say it straight up: a Weakness Policy doesn't work very well on Gastrodon. - Hurricane EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Manectric @ Life Orb EVs: 248 HP / 36 Def / 224 SpD . Overwise, good.
Gastrodon-East @ Leftovers raw download clone embed report print text 0.98 KB Pelipper @ Damp Rock . 0 votes . I wouldn't use Hasty and 4 Attack EVs when you're just aiming for a little damage to break a sash. Moves: Ice Beam is for the Grass weakness. Ludicolo @ Leftovers 143 views.
1 hour ago, Bash | Hasty Nature Scald is STAB and is used on this set for the burn chance, and it has decent power in the rain. 94 views. As you can see, Rillaboom has a harder time KOing the Pelipper with the extra Defense EVs, allowing you to have another turn to (maybe) get a Scald burn. First, I know I'm not using Clefable or Magnezone "correctly", but, both sets have worked pretty well for me (especially Clefable's). Flags vs Downvotes
EV's/IV's: TBA - Thunder Moves: I was mostly saying that because it breaks Scolipede's sub, @sm. Hello, and welcome to my first RMT for Gen 8! EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD I need some opinions on my first competitive team ever that I made in Pokémon Sword and Shield, new to the scene. Rillaboom - I’m gonna recommend using Assult Vest here. As I stated earlier, a Weakness Policy doesn't really work on Gastrodon, especially since it has only 1 weakness (Weakness Policies work better when a Pokemon has a lot of weaknesses, so you can almost guarantee that it will activate at one point in the match).

Hydro Pump Should I replace Light Screen with Flamethrower for use that once the rain clears up? - Earth Power IVs: 0 Atk Trainer Tower has some sample teams, and a couple are rain… Leech Seed heals 1/8 of your OPPONENTS max HP. IVs: 0 Attack. It has Defog to get rid of entry hazards. Are there any Pokemon, moves, or abilities that you're not allowed to use? EVs: 128 HP/128 Defence/252 SpAtk > So, my main problem is Kingdra. - Recover Magnezone - I’d change EVs to 128 Hp 128 Defence 252 SpAtk. Barraskewda @ Choice Band . Although Roost can be useful, a rain boosted Scald seems better. Barraskewda gets Swift Swim and is physical, but it would probably come with the sacrifice of Kingdra, which may not be a risk you're willing to take. Rate my Gen 8 OU Rain Team. Trainer Tower has some sample teams, and a couple are rain. Bold Nature (I forgot Kingdra. - U-turn Liquidation I'll just copy a previous explanation I made, lol. Ability: Swift Swim The points system - Poison Jab - Roost IVs: 0 Atk - Stored Power Next, I had really high hopes for Scolipede. Ability: Drizzle . Protect is for a free turn of healing. It has Defog to get rid of entry hazards.
One of the most dangerous Grass moves in OU cleanly OHKOs the original set, so I changed it. It came down to not having the rain with Kingdra, in which case I would've hit Hurricane instead of Draco Meteor. Ability: Lightning Rod Ability: Drizzle
- Scald - U-turn Nature: Quirky/ Sassy Mint Used Swift Swim boosts its Speed in the rain, making it insanely fast with 252 Speed EVs and incredible 136 base Speed.
Any feedback is appreciated. Why was my post hidden? Storm Drain user.
- Ice Beam Your team will want a way to deal with Trick Room, and you will want something just for coverage that doesn't need rain to function. By continuing to use Pastebin, you agree to our use of cookies as described in the. Modest Nature 15 min ago, Java |
Thunder is to take advantage of the Rain.
- Flamethrower Question etiquette - Defog Also crucial for rain. I think Flamethrower is a good idea, as it allows you to hit Ferrothorn when its not raining. A Choice Band increases your damage output, as do 252 Attack EVs and Adamant. Scald EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 140 SpA / 4 SpD It’s EVs give it physical bulk, which it needs. Gastrodon, I think. Nature: Hardy/ Jolly Mint Used Rain Dance - U-turn, Kingdra @ Choice Specs Bold Nature - Scald - U-turn - Roost - Defog . Mediocre battle. - Acrobatics - Close Combat / Drill Run. Liquidation is the main STAB option of the set. Pelipper is still in the game and can set rain with its Drizzle ability, and Pokémon such as Ludicolo and Barreskewda can take advantage of the rain with Swift Swim.
