Pelipper + Barraskewda Offensive Core

Surf is a standard choice of Water move on Pelipper, giving it strong Rain-boosted STAB; Hydro Pump and Weather Ball are both slightly stronger options, but inconsistent due to accuracy and reliance on Rain. Hurricane can be used as a dual STAB option that hits Grass types, while Knock Off is a good utility option that can make permanent progress against switch-ins. Roost grants longevity, which is particularly helpful due to Pelipper's Stealth Rock weakness not helped by its held Damp Rock item used to extend the Rain turns given by Drizzle. U-turn is a great pivoting option that allows Pelipper to bring in frailer Swift Swim teammates for free, particularly helpful with a -Speed nature and 0IVs on a spread that maximises bulk on either side, and a Ground tera can let Pelipper survive a one-time Electric or Rock attack in a pinch. Barraskewda rounds out the core as a Swift Swimmer. Flip Turn allows Barraskewda to pivot out of the field as the opponent switches in a resist, or against a Pokemon it cant reliably OHKO, weakening it in the process. Close Combat allows it to hit targets such as Kyurem, Roaring Moon, and Hisuian Samurott that resist Liquidation, as well as Kingambit. Aqua Jet can be used for priority, particularly out of rain and to outspeed other priority users trying to revenge kill it such as Kingambit with Sucker Punch. Psychic Fangs is another option to hit Water Absorb Clodsire and Toxapex.
