Acid Rain team

I thought it would be fun to make an Acid Rain team.  If you don't know, Acid Rain is a glitch where some funky weather effects happen when you KO with pursuit on a switching-out pokemon while there is an environment effect active.

Abomasnow (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 HP/76 Def/84 SAtk/96 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Blizzard
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Wood Hammer

Lead to set up Hail.  Blizzard for always-hit, Wood Hammer for suicide if necessary, and Leech Seed and Protect are just generally useful.


Scizor (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
- U-turn

Sets up Pursuit.  Can come back later against Fighting types (which can ruin this set).


Walrein (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Ice Body
EVs: 220 HP/240 Def/48 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Blizzard
- Roar
- Protect
- Substitute

Stallrein with %31/turn healing.  Whoa.  Roar for spikes, etc.


Froslass (F) @ Brightpowder
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 SDef
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Blizzard
- Protect
- Substitute
- Spikes

Uber-haxx evasion.  Should be self explanatory.


Glalie (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Ice Body
EVs: 252 HP/252 Spd/4 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Blizzard
- Hail
- Substitute
- Hidden Power [Electric]

I'm not sure what this really is for, it can go if need be.  It also gets %31/turn healing, HP electric, ect.


Mamoswine (F) @ Brightpowder
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Stone Edge
- Substitute

Phys sweeper and moar evasion haxx.

I would love any constructive criticism you have.

I would give Abomasnow either choice scarf or focus sash, he is quite slow but if this is for a double battle stick with choice scarf.

If this team is for a single battle id give him either choice scarf or focus sash. If scarf remove protect, if focus sash give him ice shard too.

In fact with Abomasnow's evs for minus defense try focus sash.

The rest are good but you might want to consider a wide lens for glalie so hypnosis hits more often, if he has sing it might make substitute negligable. Substitute would be more reliable for pokemon with insomia/nasty moves like thunderwave. If you can somehow give glalie a strong hidden power electric you can teach it that and replace it with either hypnosis or substitute to get rid of those water types.

Wait a sec… don't you need Pursuit to activate Acid Rain?

Yes, hence the Scizor.

Oh, now I see the Scizor. I didn't see him at first.

So yeah, never mind Axaj.
