Semi-Rain Water

by style.css

Built for Monotype Winter Premier IV, this Water team mixes staples and unique techs to break down commonly used types in the metagame like Flying, Dark, Psychic, and Steel. Pelipper and Barraskewda make up the rain core; Pelipper provides Defog support and a slow U-turn to move after defensive Celesteela to bring in the team's main breaker, Barraskewda, more easily. Choice Band, rain, and a naturally high base Attack allow Barraskewda to break down just about any switch-in. Swampert and Toxapex round out the team's defensive core by providing the mandatory Electric immunity and strong backbone to prevent reverse sweeps. Swampert is used with a specially defensive set to tank any coverage from Electric-types and sets Stealth Rock, with a Sassy nature to underspeed defensive Celesteela. Toxapex acts as a great generalized damage soaker and scouter. Crawdaunt and Cloyster are the team's unique offensive techs. Crawdaunt is able to break down bulkier cores on Psychic, Flying, Steel, and more. Choice Scarf Cloyster has the surprise factor of not being a Shell Smash set to break Flying teams without relying on setting up. Cloyster also lures defensive checks like Slowbro to inflict them with Toxic or set Spikes. The team maintains momentum with a strong pivot core to bring in the varying breakers and pressure high-usage types within Monotype.
