Weather teams were really starting to annoy me so I have been thinking of ways that I could counter them for a long time. Then I finally thought of the idea of using 2 weather producing pokemon instead of 1 so that way I could beat them in the weather wars. I have found the 2 best weather pokemon that go together are ninetales and tyranitar.
Ninetales (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Drought
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Overheat
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Energy Ball
Not really sure about the moveset but I do like choice scarf. Outspeeding pokemon is very important to me.
Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Superpower
- Ice Beam
- Pursuit
- Crunch
Posted this moveset in another topic. I have found choice scarf t-tar works the best.
Venusaur (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- SolarBeam
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Sludge Bomb
Maybe he doesn't need choice specs but I do like the extra power. Energy ball is there for when I can't use solar beam because of the weather. I really should get rid of sludge bomb. Maybe sleep powder instead but it has bad accuracy and overall sleep is just too luck based.
Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Roost
Since weather users are always switching in and out spikes and stealth rock should put a stop to this. Also works good against non-weather teams.
Gliscor (M) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 236 Atk / 20 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Facade
- Protect
The last 2 I already posted somewhere else.
Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Trait: Trace
EVs: 160 HP / 252 Def / 96 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Discharge
- Toxic
- Recover
----------
Accelgor (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Hydration
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Final Gambit
- Sandstorm
- Spikes
- Quick Attack
This guy isn't officially on my team but I was using him for a while before ninetales and since the moveset is fairly original I want to know what you guys think. Basically you send him in against a swift swim or chrolophyl user once the weather users faints. Once he uses sandstorm the weather strategy falls apart. You could also use final gambit but your opponent might be expecting that and switch. A 1 for 1 trade using final gambit can work against non weather teams as well. The last 2 moves are mostly filler.
