Roserade Rain Team Guide | Pokémon VGC Strategy
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server hosts a deep dive into a unique rain-based team featuring Roserade as a support fighter. This discussion explores core synergies, including Archaludon for electric-type coverage and Raichu for redirection. Community members provide valuable feedback on item optimization, such as choosing Leftovers over Sitrus Berry, and suggest strategic roster adjustments to improve competitive viability in the current VGC meta.
(the quality didnt look this bad at first...wow)
this team was made around roserade as a sutain fighter and support, the core around the team is rain and I had pokemon in mind that I thought would fit the team. archaludon does well into electric types to help with the water types being weak to electric. raichu and lighting rod is there to bait redirect electric type attacks that would otherwis threten the team. peliper is made for speed control and some offensive and decent support along side with widegaurd. primarina was the only pokemon I could think of that could rlly benefit from rain. hyper voice and mystic water hits like a train under rain! lopunny is jusst....kinda there ngl. I plan on replaxing her with another mega at some time, was thinking something like mega gyrados

No no
Imo lefties> sitrus arch
i was gonna do that but I forgot about it lol
i'll do that now
havent rlly seen a reasso to use it ngl
Arch is staying on the field so imo it gains more than loses
With arch your staying for longer than a sitrus woll give you once
when you put it like that I can see the vision
i'll put leftovers on then
Roserade is cool but just… doesn’t really fit
Missing stab on weather ball just sucks
Primarina -> basc (probably scarfed)
Lopunny -> meganium/venusaur
I had meganuim at first
but i used it like...once
and then I changed it because of..weather ball i think?
having weather ball damage cut in half by rain kinda sucks
It isn’t though
The ability bypasses the cut
oh wait really??
Yes lol
I thought since it was a fire move it was cut in half-
ok well I well most def be putting meganuim back on the team
Meganium’s moves hit like they’re in the sun
also i put basc on like a few hours ago, working a lot better than prim
So fire moves aren’t decreased
glad to know that lol
Just go like
Solar beam / Weather ball / Dazzling gleam / Protect
oh is synthesis not good on meganuim?
i usually run it over protect
Its ok but fake out kinda sucks
Depends if you want bulk or damage
I just assumed damage due to archaludon being super bulky
ah ok, well then i'll go make the set rn
ty for telling meee
Np :>
