>>17076994Triples is very fast so you'll only really need sand up for 5 teams and since you can have a setter and two abusers up at the same time you don't need it permanently. I'd use Hippo with a Rotom-W because you can switch them freely, especially if you're carrying something like a Skarmory.
The trick with weather now is to not devote your entire team to it but to run a setter and maybe one or two abusers, kind of like late-Gen 5 Rain and then fill the rest of your team with generally good mons.
