Lmao OK so
For a rain team obviously we need pelipper, arch and basc
Normally pelip runs damp rock but I don’t like that especially when opposing weathers are popular so sitrus it is
And then, it should be mega golisopod
But I got this idea from himself
I’m gonna use mega excadrill instead
Good match up into archaludons + both raichu megas especially with that electric immunity
Also has the steel coverage which golisopod provides which is good
Mega Meganium cause weather ball serves as an answer for golisopods and fairy coverage is nice
Its also grass which is weak to fire and fire is weakened in rain so yeah
For the final pokemon…
Pincurchin 😭
Has several roles that it fills
1. Terrain overrider
Overrides rillaboom’s terrain so it doesn’t get priority grassy glide and then maybe I can KO it with basc ice beam if it was already chipped a little
2. Trick Room
Slower than torkoal and OHKOs with rising voltage
Scald in rain is also a nice bonus
3. Sleep Powder Venu
Provides electric terrain so I can’t be put to sleep
KEEP IN MIND THIS IS JUST A FUNNY TEAM I MADE, I AM NOT IMPLYING THAT I SHOULD USE PINCURCHIN OR IF THE TEAM ITSELF IS EVEN VIABLE
Anyone got suggestions 🥲
I think the team is terrible though LMAO
What's the frill doing
What frill
Drill
I provided the explanation 🥲
Yes
And
Really good MU into archs + raichus
Yeh uh idk
Its just there for opposing archs and raichus I guess lmao
If golis is better then I’ll just put it there ig
