Season 2 Rain Core Team Discussion
Summary
Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments discusses a Season 2 rain core team centered on Pelipper synergy, Palafin, Lucario and a fun Toxicroak variant. The announcement shares a Showdown replay, role choices like dry skin and sneasler swaps, and invites community suggestions to strengthen or tweak the core before Season 2 begins.
Very straightforward rain core with maus beat up sparking arch stamina and Lucario justified before mega.
If anyone has any ideas on how to make this stronger or ways to mix it up but still kind of keep the core identity I'm all for hearing it

Yeah I've been thinking about who to swap to get more than just palafin and surf peli
I am also debating not changing a single thing until season 2 starts and I see if they added anything
Dry skin
I can use sneasler for sure
But dry skin gives me unique synergy with pelipper

are you telling people to sacrifice me now
Ah
You don't have to kill me over it no
But you can join the club and blame me for whatever you like
Anyways
In this position, toxicroak is uniquely positioned to benefit from rain and whatnot
So he's more fun to play. That's the only difference
He also is running the wrong poison move. Damn
That doesn't mean I deserve to die 🥲
Oh well. I live to be hated I guess 😂
