Master 3 rain team
Rain team I have used to reach master 3. The rotom was a scarf Hydreigon previously but recently switched up. Some context on some of the choices.
Swampert - speed stat to outspeed base 130 mons in rain
Pelipper - speed stat to out speed base 120 mons in tailwind
Sableye - walls would be nice but really struggle to fit them in, will o wisp makes do by beidging the gap between being disruptive/hindering and doing damage. Quash is fantastic for speed control.
Arch - Bridge
Scizor - Stays on the bench unless opponents are fairy heavy or run meowscarada who i have found to be awkward to deal significant damage to without taking big losses. Great switch in to either.
Rotom Mow - The sauce. This is here almost exclusively for rain mirrors. Threatens swampert, pelipper, bascu (sort of) and dark pulse can do significant damage to sinistcha, the most common swampert counter I have seen, with the flinch chance not to be slept on. Levitate makes a great partner/switch in next to swampert. Max sp atk thunder also OHKOs max hp mega staraptor and 9 hp guarantees living CC/brave bird without a crit/boost. Extra bonus, also OHKOs zard Y with 5 or less hp investment. Main issue it has is jolly max speed scarf or swift swim basculegion who outspeeds and OHKOs rotom with 2 stacks of last respects. The speed investment with scarf lets us outspeed max speed scarf adamant bascu or anything speed 125.
why dark pulse?
wouldnt you prefer volt switch or electroweb
For sinistcha. It’s a safe switch in against it, damages about 55-48% if max bulk whereas wouldn’t be able to touch it otherwise. I have seen a number of opposing rain teams bringing sinistcha to counter swampert so the rotom is there to counter their team and the counter.
