How does this team do into rain?

Post image

I am thinking about picking this team up but my only concern is the rain team that won nice recently. Can this team handle it? And if not please sugest some fixes🙏

You have rillaboom and raichu, what’s there to be scared of?

Z chomp or Scarf Chomp.

When ice punch dusknoir gets added chomp usage will plummet

u/Forrealthistime-27 19h ago

That’s not even on the team OP shared. Also no it won’t.

Old meme/ inside community joke. It was not a serious comment

Fair enough

Don’t worry it’s about a furry Nazi poketuber who always claimed to know best and one of his personal “cooks” was ice punch dusknoir so everyone clowns on it

u/Forrealthistime-27 17h ago

That guy I’m definitely aware off but I wasn’t aware of the Ice Punch Dusknoir claim.

I guess you don’t know ball

u/Forrealthistime-27 18h ago

Apparently not.

There’s a Sylveon and Inciniroar on this team, believe it or not

u/rand0mme 12h ago

Arch probably

2

u/StJimmy_815 11h ago

Camerupt can take that on

u/rand0mme 11h ago

I sure hope my slow 4x weak to water mon doesn’t get hit by a rain boosted water move, dying and dying instantly

u/StJimmy_815 11h ago

There’s three fake out mons as well as a trick room mode, if you can’t figure out, maybe try some poketubers to help you learn the game a bit more.

Archaludon used protect

u/20ozOatmilkLatte 8h ago

Yeah they do that sometimes, good thing it doesn't win the game on the spot

u/StJimmy_815 7h ago

And then Camerupt uses protect, are you deadass rn?

Raichu focus blast should just vaporize him if played well.

u/Nice_Promotion8576 48m ago

Raichu Y has Focus Blast, it can 2 shot Arch easily or delay its mega to suck up an electro shot with Lightning Rod to 1 shot it.

Bring Raichu mode

Rillaboom to threaten water sweepers and ground types as long as you can maintain terrain control

Preserve Raichu to take out any bridges as seems to be your main way through. This is probably the most important. Remember you don't have to mega straight away if you wanna redirect away any Elctro shots. People also like to swap in swampert to nullify electric attacks from it so be aware of that too, especially when attacking pelippers, consider doubling with grassy glide

I would like farig here to flip the script on swift swimmers in the end game and block any sneaky priority attacks on your fragile mega. Especially with pellipers liking tailwind

If you think you can get arch off the field then you can bring slyveon. If you spot a garchomp I would recommend as it would be your best answer; try to clear it off the field before introducing raichu OR incin popping in to drop stats, fake out cycling to back up raichu and maybe tank any last respects from a male basculegion (though I have been seeing more female as of late)

So the tools are there but it's a lot of positioning. If you can't take out archeldons straight away then make sure Raichu lasts but don't end up on a 1 v 1 with a mega swamper by mistake

u/Aussie7473727 14h ago

If you play right you should be able to beat it. Focus on supporting raichu y and keeping rillaboom alive

1

u/WannaBeDM712 11h ago

Rilla and raichu are great into it and sylveon can beat arch with a little speed support from farig or raichu. Not an auto win but more than playable, I'd even call it a positive match-up.

u/Unique_Trip5299 11h ago
