/vp/ help me with my drizzle team, I just started to play in some small tournaments at my local game shop. Right now the team I've tought is:
Politoed @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
Calm Nature
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Protect

Kingdra @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
Modest Nature
- Scald
- Dragon Pulse
- Disable
- Protect

Manectric @ Manectite
Ability: Lightning Rod
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Flamethrower
- Thunder
- Protect

but I don't know which other 3 pokemon should I use, I've been thinking in Rotom-W or Rotom-M, Huge Power azumarrill and Gyarados, but I'm not sure

>rain team
>we 2011 now

Get your Kingdra Draco Meteor, Sniper, Focus Energy and Scope Lens, a Speed Boost Scolipede with Baton Pass and make Smogonlaundry a Volt Switch scout. Nothing confuses the shit out of kids like all dat switcheroo.

Also, change your mega to Aggron. You need a reliable wall, stat.

If you're playing with someone who knows a bit of anything, they will attack your Azumarrill on sight before you can BD, so try not to use it.

Finally, try to think of a reliable late game sweeper, for Scolipede to pass some boosts to when Kingdra dies.

Non-STAB flamethrower from Manectric under the rain kinda sucks.

Give Kingdra Surf or Hydro Pump if you want him to sweep. And why Disable and Protect on him?

disable on kingdra is strange, not sure what your rational behind it is.

flamethrower in the rain is bad, have HP Ice or something if you're going for a sweeper mega manectric

ferrothorn is always good on rain teams

Rotom-W is a solid choice

Shedinja because free rain means that you can instantly clear away sand and hail if necessary but then you need a spinner, lel

gyarados is still good, azumarill too but then if you're basically relying on Manectric to be your reliable speedy revenge killer, if rain isn't up when you send in kingdra

Get yourself a Toxicroak
-Drain Punch
-Sucker Punch
-Poison Jab
-Ice Punch

Give it a Black Sludge for extra healing.

Also Gourgeist can work well with Will-O-Wisp and Leech Seed.

Toxicroak is viable since Ferrothorn is still a thing, but Gastrodon not really considering almost no one is playing Rain now.

Im not on the computer that has my showdown on it, but my rain team BENEFITS from rain, but doesn't rely on it, due to the nerf. Excuse my sloppy formatting, as I'm typing this manually

- Politoed @ damp rock
nature: +def - atk
protect, toxic, ice beam, water pulse (more power than scald, and scald makes toxic useless anyway

- Ferrothorn @ leftovers
Brave nature, 252 attk, 252 def, 4hp
Curse, Gyro ball, Power whip, Stealrock/ leech seed

- Gengar @ choice specs
Timid nature, 252 sp atk, 252 speed, 4 hp
Shadow ball, Thunder, Sludge bomb, Psychic / Dazzling gleam.

-Lucario @ Life orb
Jolly Nature, 252 speed, 252 attack, 4 hp
extremespeed (you need it, trust me), close combat, crunch, bullet punch (for faries)

Blastoise @ Blastoisite
-attk, + special attk nature. 252 hp, 252 sp attk, 4 sp def
Rapid spin, Dark Pulse, Aura sphere, Water pulse.
>fucks up aegislash
>fucks up talonflame
>fucks up mega aggron
>fucks up charizard Y if I switch politoed
> 2 shots charizard X in the rain
> 2 shots mega kanga if he survives
> fucking rapid spinner with a boosted dark pulse

Klefki @ leftovers
cant remeber Nature or EV spread
Thunder Wave, Foul play, Swagger, substitute

Ferrothorn and M-blastoise carry most of my team. Klefki exists for the sole purpose of priority thunder wave, and blocking dragons. Lucario and gengar exist to kill threats. Speedy revenge killers, exactly what I need.
Politoed is Politoed
