>>18725582Don't let it take a hit.
Never send it out until lategame.
Clean up the damaged opposition with Life Orb Waterfall/Crunch/Ice Beam/Aqua Jet.
Give it rain support lategame if possible.
Make sure you never send it out against something with more than neutral 95 base Speed.
Make sure the opponent has no way to hit it back anymore when you send it out (no Choice Scarfer or strong priority users).
