Community input aims to improve matchups and team survivability.
https://pokepast.es/eafdca3706c02574 I have been using this team. I have realised that if there are 3/4 hard rain team, it is difficult for me to get rid of them. Torkol and charizard are good for the weather wars but I end up taking too much chip damage. Am thinking if there was a better way to tackle it that maybe I am missing be it though a different play style or changing a mon.
Garchomp, dragonite or any Pokemon that takes 4x from ice
It is decently bulky. I am running twin beam that does not OHKO mega ganger but does around 80%. I have copied the team so am not 100% sure about the spreads. Does survive throat chop or darkest larianth from adamant inceneroar. It is also running helping hand now instead of hyper voice
Also a way to hit ghost Pokemon when I mega and lose scrappy

Maybe this should help?
But not sure whom to replace
HALP. Rain slapping me
Well that's bad
Means the best wr you can get is
Like
3/10
Since the other 7 are rain
Yes
That is why I want help
What exactly do you find hard
In that mu
I think you have the tools
A. Arch. If I can get zard in, arch is pressure. But in case I lose the war, it gets a electro move on me. Also with stamina, the physical attackers are pressured. But I can still deal with it
But the Pelli bascu at the back, I just take too much chip damage playing weather wars with them that I might run out of juice
I do think your team is too weak to basc
It is
Basc and Pelli is not nice to deal with at the back
