I wanted to have a rapid spin to help Togekiss. I found the sample team TrickScarf Uxie ZapMie by Kristyl and adapted it. Jirachi lead can start spreading para with body slam, deploy a substitue to avoid being statused, help scout and generally be an annoyance. I want to play Togekiss and Swampert (with Stealth Rock) early on and Jirachi is a good entry point for them as Togekiss is immune to ground and swampert resists fire. Since it's Jirachi's weaknesses, it flows naturally to switch to them. Later on, this set can come back and be useful as Jirachi is overall a great Pokémon. Togekiss purposes is straight forward: spread para and slowly wear down the foes. It's not flashy, but it works. 8 speed investment to outspeed neutral Gyara. The rest of the spreads give the same resistance to physical and special attacks. Since I want to switch in on earthquake, being able to deal with physical attack pokémon is important, even though it seems more intuitive to give Togekiss a calm nature. Soft-boiled is there to give some unpredictability. Starmie is defensive to help spread para and slow because it doesn't need as much speed against para. Swampert is primarly here to protect Togekiss and Starmie against Electric moves. I prefer an offensive set than tank to give more Oomph to the team as I don't want my slow playstyle of spreading para to be exploited. CB Tyranitar is very straightforward. It pursuits or just clean house after most pokémon are paralyzed. CM Raikou. I needed a pokémon that can deal with water type. Jirachi or Tyranitar can use thunder punch, but is not that powerful, it gets intimidated by Gyarados and they have other roles to serve already. I wanted an electric type pokémon that can also boost. Raikou fits this job well and rounds up the team cleanly.
