thank you, anonymous from Ganker, for finding the one thing in the gen with swift swim and paired it with existing meta mons. Truly original and genius, no one else could have thought of it.
It's one of the only rain-viable Pokemon that doesn't have to play 50/50 with A-Ninetales. You can just switch it in and even if Ninetales used Freeze Dry, it takes next to no damage and threatens it out. Then you U-turn back into Pelipper safely.
>Thundurus-T
That's a new one
Genies got Weather Ball so Thundurus on Rain can spam that and Thunder.
Damn, now if only it had actual Flying STAB.
champ always loses to rain. it’s over
>tfw pioneered rain tech early in the generation
Feels good knowing my hard work has brought Rain into prominence once more. You're welcome.

I started experimenting with Ferro, Thundurus, and Seismitoad back when everyone was just doing Kingdra and Barraskewda.
did you not play gen 5 weather wars
>2 genies

>Volcanion used flamethrower
>Thundurus used focus blast
Thanks for the free elo.
That's why you run Ferro with Shed Shell. Easy clap.
Why are people mad at rain again? It doesn't even have Greninja or M-Swampert anymore.
Barraskewda + Flip Turn is why smoggies don't like it
>Smoggies

Scizor has never been a good pokemon in OU. We've had this conversation 100 times anon.

Ehm, how do you explain Gens 4, 5, and 6?
Rain is only "problematic" because of the Kyurem ban.
