[RATE MY TEAM] Rain Team Mk. II (Updated 8/3/15)
#1
First time making a Rain Team. Hoping this is going to become my main VGC Team currently
Anything is blue are questions!

Offense
[Image: swampert-mega.png]
The Pokemon I based this team around, Mega Swampert is really mean to take advantage of Politoed's Drizzle and sweep. Packing Earthquake, Waterfall, and Ice Punch for attacking moves and currently debating keeping Protect or swapping it for maybe Wide Guard, but I haven't really needed it. I was trying out MudkipLegend's Moveset
Swampert-Mega @ Swampertite
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 224 HP / 52 Atk / 40 Def / 36 SpD / 156 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Wide Guard/Protect

Replacing Lucario is a LO Aegislash. "your team still needs resistances against Dragon, Ice, Fairy Psychic and Normal (Basically Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Gardevoir, Sylveon, Mega Mence) so I recommend LO Aegislash with Wide Guard. With Helping Hand from Politoed (btw Helping Hand Always goes first before Fake Out) so HH LO Aegislash's Shadow Ball practically nukes most Trick Room setters." - Suggested by Black117
Should I run a slightly defensive set?
Aegislash @ Life Orb
Ability: Stance Change
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
- Flash Cannon
- Shadow Ball
- Wide Guard
- King's Shield

And for the second new member, I decided to swap Raichu for Hydreigon, As he resist Grass/Water/Electric/Fire as well as opposing Ghost types like Aegislash. To top it off Hydreigon can help shut down Trick Room teams with Aegislash. Suggested by Black117
Should I replace Dragon Pulse with something?
Hydreigon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
Level: 50
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor

Defense

Politoed is still generally the same but is more of a defensive set.

Politoed @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Drizzle
Level: 50
EVs: 212 HP / 132 Def / 4 SpA / 116 SpD / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Helping Hand
- Hypnosis

Gardevoir is my replacement for Ludicolo, mainly to help me deal with Grass, Water and some Poison Types. Mainly to check Amongus and Venasaur, which were a problem for me. It also works well with Swampert thanks to its ability, allowing swampert to spam EQ.
Calcs
Quote:208+ SpA Gardevoir Psyshock vs. 232 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 120-144 (65.2 - 78.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Modest Nature

Support
[Image: crobat.png]
Crobat is also a kinda mix Support, forgoing some Hp EVs for Attack EVs to take care of some fairy Pokemon. But also can be fully supportive with Super Fang, Quick Guard, and Tailwind. Tailwind mainly there to support the team without the rain.
I do wonder since I do have Aegislash do I really need the 105 EVs in Attack
Crobat @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 106 Atk / 150 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Quick Guard
- Cross Poison

- Tailwind

And that is the team! All advice is welcome. I also wanna tank everyone for there suggestions to make this team better!
