Golisopod + Salmence TailRoom Rain Team

steadyknight-96 OP

Golisopod:
- it is the slow TR monster.
- First Impression is good to pressure a protect in the opponents that don't resist it while Farig sets TR.

Farigiraf:
- You know it, Classic TR setter, survives almost any combination of moves just to set that TR.
- I put Colbur Berry on it since Pelipper already have it, but i'm consedering switching Pelipper's item to give Sitrus to Farig.

Pelipper:
- Classic rain setter, enabling Mega Golisopod live at least 1 Fire-Type attack While also Killing them for it.
- where most people would put Tailwind on Salamence for the TailRoom, i opted to putting it on Pelipper, so then it can have a slot for a third move.
- As i already Mentioned in the Farig section, Pelipper is holding the Sitrus Berry for a bulkier set while still having full investiment in Sp.Atk to do good damage, i have no speed investiment so it can work in both TR and Tailwind

Archaludon:
- Even tough it is pretty strong in the rain, i'm questioning a bit if i should keep Arch or switch it with another mon that can deal with some other weakness that the team have, which i will mention in a bit.

Salamence:
- The terror from XY, ORAS and USUM that everyone is scared of, is a very good way to deal with charizard if i can't set up my own weather, being able to kill Garchomp while still being able to resist Heat Waves and Weather Balls is something i shouldn't overlook.
- i'm still kinda unsure if i go physical, special or mixed, but i think mixed might be the best way to use it.

Annihalape:
- It's on the team for 2 main reasons: Deal with Steel Types that both Golisopod and Salamence hates and descourage intimidate.
- Most people would run Life Orb to make it able to OHKO Chople Berry Kingambit and Archaludon, but i prefered Expert Belt since it can still let it OHKO them without dropping it's HP so i can run a bulkier set with Rage Fist.

Problems that i face:
- Gholdengo is really hard to deal with since it can deal huge damage on Arch and Peli and straght up OHKO Annihalape
- Even tough Annihalape can descourage intimidate, Salamence don't really cares about it since it can already deal huge damage to it with either Hyper Voice or just OHKO it with Double-Edge.
- Meanwhile i don't have a lot of problems setting up TR, i find myself having problems setting up Tailwind most of the time.
- I overall feel like that i can switch some of my mons for others, but idk which ones i should switch, so i would appreaciate if you guys can suggest something better for me.

I think that's all i should say, if you want to know something more about the team just ask me

steadyknight-96 OP

I think for my team Modest Pelipper is better since it can benefit better from Trick Room, but i will definitly try a bulkier Archaludon set

steadyknight-96 OP

(pinging because no one else has talked anything and to ask a question, if i should had just asked and then wait got someone to answer it, i'm sorry) alright, so after some more testing i'm thinking about switching Annihalape for Kingambit and maybe arch for a Water-Type, but i not sure if i should do that because i would lose my Steel-Type checker, do you guys have any recommendations for me?

steadyknight-96 OP

Okay, but how arch? I keep it or switch to something like basc?
