>Overqwil has Swift Swim and doesn't share any weaknesses with other Rain-mons, while bringing defensive balance with its nice physical bulk, and having decent coverage for the archetype with its Poison STAB to hit grassholes
Not only are many strong 'mons in the archetype back, but the biggest checks to Rain are gone, mostly. Rillaboom lost Grassy Glide, and Ferrothorn is gone. The only real nerf to the playstyle I'm seeing is the loss of Seismitoad and the loss of Defog (Rain will have to rely on a spinner or Noivern for Defog)
