From what I can gather the competitively minded players here will adhere to Smogon standards (:

Thanks that's cool though it leaves me the awkward decision on who to put in the last slot for my water doubles team

Doubles is arguably a better environment to either go Rain Stall than rain offence in my experience, priority and Trick Room are both extremely common making swift swimmers less reliable. Kingdra is still a beast in the rain even without SS, STAB Waterfall+Dragon Dance is godly. Gyarados coupled with a Lightning Rod poke like Manectric can also be extremely effective, intimidate screws over physical attackers and Manectric draws in electric attacks, leaving the rare HP Rock to worry about on the special side of the attacking spectrum. That's what I'd do anyway, that is if I didn't have a burning hatred for weather teams =P

So far my team is more rain stall than offensive any way as there's a lot of rain based abilities other than SS which are helpful. Sadly as I'm running a water only team I can't really use a electric pokemon unless it's part water (I love water pokemon :P ) so my last slot if more a toss up between some water pokemon who can use electric moves. The last slot is needed to be more offensive which is why I turned down Empoleon as he is more defensive and has a massive weakness to electric attacks which doesn't help in the rain.

Basically it's a choice between Starmie and Lanturn. Starmie is generally better but Laturn works better with my general tactics for double battles. The rest of my team is pretty good though

Is there a particular reason you're only using water types? What's your current lineup?

I just like water pokemon :tongue:

that's the reason I always like making just water teams. My current Line up is Ludicolo, Politoed, Swanna, Swampert and Jellicent. Not what you call your normal choices as I went with more what works for how I like to do doubles rather than the smogon stuff. I rather do it my own way and have fun :proud:

On the contrary, most of that is pretty standard stuff. Swanna though... oh god D= haha. I'd personally go for either Lanturn w. Volt Absorb or Rotom-W (The Rotom formes all become [x]/electric type now, [x] being the type of their special move), primarily for their ability to abuse STAB 100% Acc Thunder. Lanturn would probably be the better choice of the two thanks to the electric immunity.

Swanna is there for 2 reasons one as in rain Hurricane gets 100% accuracy which is handy with my teams very large dislike for grass and 2 because of it being part flying it means I have at least one pokemon who isn't raped when my swampert uses earthquake which I tend to use a lot as well I love the move :tongue:

I was thinking more Lanturn as he also has volt switch which could come in handy

Hey, does anyone here have a Ghastly egg, Shinx egg, Sneasel or random egg they're willing to give away to PKM white?

I started again after there was nothing left to do and I want to have a decent team to play through with this time round =]
