RM UU NU Rain Dance double Team!

For now i only have 4 pokemon in my team. Hopefully i haven't made a lot of errors. This team is for my Platinum Wi-Fi battles. I mite get PBR and use this team in PBR but for now i am going to use it in Platinum.


Raikou@leftovers
Pressure
EVs: 252-Sp.Atk/252-Speed/4-Hp or 252-HP/100-Sp.Atk/ 156-Speed
Modest(+Sp.Atk, -Atk)
Moves-
-Extasensory
-Rain Dance
-Calm Mind
-Thunder

The main purpose of Raikou is to use Rain Dance and maybe set up 1 or 2 Calm Minds and start attacking. I dont know weather to give it more HP EVs or to Give it more Speed and Sp.Atk. The reason why im saying this is because of my Gorebyss (witch you'll see later) it has surf as the main stab move and it also damages the raikou.


Kabutops@focus sash
Swift Swim
EVs:252-Atk/252-Speed/4HP
Adamant(+Atk,-Sp.Atk)
Moves-
-Waterfall/Aqua Jet
-X-scissor
-Rock Slide
-Swords Dance

Kabutops will be my main physical sweaper first ill Swords Dance and then attack. Rock Slide for stab, hits both of the opponents pokemon, and flinch hax. I'm still thinking about ether Waterfall or Aqua Jet. X-scissor of grass weakness.


Gorebyss@focus sash
Swift Swim
EVs:252-Sp.Atk/252-Speed/4HP
Modest(+Sp.Atk, -Atk)
Moves-
-Psychic
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Hp(gound)/endure

Gorebyss is my special sweaper. Surf will be the main attack that its gonna use. Ice Beam for grass weakness. psychic just because it can learn it! for the last move i really don't know what to put.


Zapdos@leftovers
Pressure
EVs:252-HP/156-Sp.Atk/ 100-Speed
Modest(+Sp.Atk, -Atk)
Moves-
-Thunder
-Thunder Wave
-Rain Dance
-Roost


Lapras@Damp Rock
Water Absorb
EVs:252-HP/128-Def/128-Sp.Def
Careful(+Sp.Def,-Sp.atk)
Moves-
-Waterfall
-Ice Shard
-dragon Dance
-Rain Dance

How is this for my second Rain Dancer? With water absorb i can take as many hits from surf and i want for my gorebyss and not get any damage for it. Dragon Dance for more attack and speed waterfall and ice shard for stab!


Ok for the last Two pokemons im thinking a rapid spinner(blastoise), a wall (registeel), Dragon Danceing lapres with water absorb, a heal beller ( miltank) or ?... or a good wall braker!

you should give air slash to your zapdoes instead of t-wave this way you wont get walled so much by ground types

Zapdos can't learn Air Slash.

For Gorebyss, you should have HP Ground. And giving Damp Rock (don't know if thats the right name) to Zapdos (Raikou) can be nice, so the rain can last longer.

i dont see the point in running HP ground... steels are hit harder by rain boosted surf, and even when it isnt raining, they are still hit harder

95 base power * 1.5 STAB = 142

70 base power HP ground * 2 super effective = 140

HP Electric is the best option for that slot to kill gyarados who can take any of your other attacks easily and mantine, who is in the same boat as gyarados

Thing is that i got both Raikou and Zapdos have thunder and hp (ground) would be for electric types.

even so the same equation applies... STAB Surf will always do more damage than a super effective hidden power... and even more so in the rain

Oh I just understood what you meant lol... this is for doubles so you don't want to hit zappy or raikou... I gotcha!! I'd say it may not be such a bad choice then. Sorry, lol, my mind is always set to singles

Oh its alright this is my first doubles team.

Extrasensory has terrible coverage, i would use something over that. using a calm mind raikou in doubles is very dangerous. although if calm minded up enough it would be able to take those surfs decently. im not exactly sure why you only use electric types with thunder to set up rain; just an odd observation

just a thought for an extra pokemon...

a bronzong or jirachi can be useful to get up rain dance as under rain bronzong has no weaknesses (with levitate) and the ever useful screens and explosion. Jirachi is swift and pretty bulky... plus it has thunder and water pulse (with serene grace has a 60% chance to confuse)

just so i can be the first of prob many to say it its a UU/NU rain team

Just a quick note: Bronzong has fire weakness with levitate and ground with heatproof

ill answer this one too

he meant with rain. with rain, fire = x.5 Base Power, meaning that a fire attack would techinically do as much as a neutral attack
