A guide about how to counter Rain

[Tymerod]

96406 Quagsires unaware does not work and it currently cannot learn recover. Otherwise it would be super strong.

 

Quagsire is able to learn recover since egg moves are implemented!!! It is one of the best counters to rain teams with water absorb because of the immunity to electric and only one weakness to grass

Well rain boost isnt 100% so its not dat difficult to handle now

Hi, thanks for this thread, awesome guide. As for the lead, I would suggest a slow tyranitar, as it would win the weather war right on turn one and can do whatever he wants to politoed thanks to his special bulk in sand. Also I'd add a part about Priority usage against rain, especially Talonflame, since he is certainly the best Ludicolo counter. However Extreme speed users like Dragonite can also help alot against rain matchups.

 

And for people claiming Water absorb users beat rain, thats pretty much wrong since Ludicolo is a thing, and so is Kingdra. Quagsire would only beat Kabutops and the likes...

Just put ferro in your team.

rain team?? the answer is TERTACRUEL <3

 

120 base spdef not to mention rain dish ability + black sludge = 12.5% health recovery every turn in rain, really difficult to beat in rain. Only drawback is its low def so players run BOLD nature on tentas.

it check many rain team pokes.

Kingdra does pitiful damage with dragon pulse can easily stall out with toxic

Ludicolo is afraid of sludge wave so is azumarill, tentacruel resists both its stab move water/fairy.

and with scald coded tentacruel is really bulky on physical side as well if it gets the burn.

Tenta also learns giga drain so ground/water type pokes r free health for tentacruel

 

Tentacruel is also useful outside rain as rapid spin support n toxic.

 

bye bye rain team :devil: :devil:

[Elyaskhan]

Ferrothorn is good to counter rain team too

[Kibitz]

[mention]elyaskhan[/mention] Ferrothorn is decent against rain but Kabutops will destroy it.
