• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

This is the best I got. D:

Focusing on Rain Dance here:

Wailord
Item: Damp Rock, Nature: Impish, EV's: 252 HP/252 SPD/8 DEF, Ability: Undecided.
Moveset: Rain Dance, Toxic, Protect, ???

Sets up RD, then can Toxic-stall to deal some easy damage. Not sure on the last move.

OR, for leagues where Kyogre isn't banned:

Kyogre
Item: Choice Specs, Nature: Modest, EV's: 252 HP/252 SPA/8 SPD, Ability: Drizzle.
Moveset: Thunder, Surf, Ice Beam, Ancientpower.

Basically sets up everlasting rain, then sweeps. Ancientpower for Shedinja.

Scizor
Item: Leftovers, Nature: Adamant, EV's: 252 ATK/120 SPEE/80 SPD/58 HP, Ability: Technician.
Moveset: U-Turn, Roost, Bullet Punch, Brick Break.

Bulky sweeper, stays alive long due to rain and Roost. Not much else to say.

Sharpedo
Item: Focus Sash, Nature: Jolly, EV's: 252 SPEE/252 ATK/6 DEF, Ability: Rough Skin.
Moveset: Aqua Jet, Crunch, ???, ???.

Not sure about 'im. Just experimental.

Jirachi
Item: Leftovers, Nature: Careful, EV's: 252 HP/252 ATK/6 DEF, Ability: Serene Grace.
Moveset: Stealth Rock, Wish, Draco Meteor or an Ice-type move, Iron Head.

Stealth Rocker. Iron Head for STAB, Wish + Leftovers and rain for survivability. Counters dragons. (Hopefully)

Manectric
Item: Choice Scarf, Nature: Docile, EV's: 252 SPEE/180 SPA/78 ATK, Ability: Undecided.
Moveset: Thunder, Crunch, Howl, Flamethrower.

*Sweeps floor* Yup.

Gengar
Item: Focus Sash/Choice Scarf, Nature: Timid, EV's: 252 SPA/252 SPEE/8 HP + Perfect Speed IV, Ability: Levitate.
Moveset: Dark Pulse, Thunderbolt, Hypnosis, Destiny Bond.

An annoying sweeper; can Dark Pulse for possible flinching, Thunderbolt for possible paralysis, Hypnosis for sleep, Destiny Bond to finish.

...yeah, it needs work. Help?
 
Surf is never bad. If you can't decide on anything else for Wailord, use Surf.

Additionally, Rain Dance on Sharpedo? It seems to me that once Rain Dance runs out, your team becomes half as good. Alternatively, why focus on Rain Dance at all? You barely seem to be exploiting the rain at all. Only for Thunder and for lessening Scizor/Jirachi's fire weakness.
 
Use Pokemon with the ability Swift Swim. They become virtually impossible to outspeed in the rain. (!!)Kingdra(!!), Kabutops, Omastar, and Ludicolo are common candidates. Also, in case Kyogre is banned, you want other Pokemon to be able to set up rain once it lets up. Sticking it on Scizor is a good idea; using a Bronzong might be nice, too.

Also, why is Howl on a Choice Scarf Pokemon? For that matter, I don't see why you're considering Choice Scarf on Gengar when it's got moves like Hypnosis and Destiny Bond.
