>>55078710The fact that this isn't the first time I've seen someone say this blows my fucking mind at how stupid the average anon is.
The rain is there for the dragonite exclusively, retard. Multiscale+Dnite's natural bulk means unless you're packing a lead specifically designed to counter it, it's going to stick around for a few turns at least. Notice how the Politoed doesn't have a Damp Rock equipped? That's because Kieran isn't running a rain team, he's just running a rain LEAD, the rain is there entirely so the Dragonite, who knows Thunder and Hurricane, two moves that are 100% accurate in Rain, has the consistency he needs to be a threat to whatever mons you throw out first. Flying and Electric are two strong offensive types, Dragonite has expert belt, and Politoed has Helping Hand, the two are designed around the other, not the rest of the team.
The order of the Pokemon in that image is also the order Kieran sends his Pokemon out, it's almost impossible for Incineroar to be on the field while it's still raining, and even if he IS, Incineoroar's job isn't to spam fire stab like a retard, Incineroar is there to weaken you with Intimidate and Fake Out so either his Porygon or Hydrapple finish you off.
Think for two fucking seconds before you post, you blithering ape.
