Idea for a Rain Trick Room team - SjoerdDN - Dec 19, 2016

Weather setter, bulky, Hurricane(never misses in the rain, possible confuse and stab) Scald(stab water move rainboosted, possible burn) Wide guard, in case of a trick room lead, protects from dual target moves obviously, prevents rock slide flinches to Porygon. Focus Sash to live freeze dry's and unexpected lightning moves.
