Hail Team

lilchiz34

Abomasnow @ Leftovers
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 SpA / 204 Spe / 54 HP
Nature: Timid
- Leech Seed
- Blizzard
- Grass Knot / Focus Punch
- Substitute

Starts my hail which is very important obviously. The hail is mostly for Kyurem's Blizzard and an advantage with the health drop to other pokemon. SubSeed might work i'm not counting on it though, but it can really cause some damage if it works. Blizzard for STAB and Focus punch under sub or grass knot for STAB



Forretress @ Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Sturdy
EV's: 252 HP/ 176 Def/ 80 SpDef
0 Speed IV's
-Toxic Spikes
-Spikes
-Rapid Spin
-Gyro Ball

This set allows you to have both Spikes and Toxic Spikes AND Rapid Spin. Also, it takes away another pokemon who is weak to Rock and Fighting and offers you the almost exact same role a cloyster would do.



Kyurem @Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 56 HP/ 236 SpA/ 216 Spd
Nature: Modest
- Substitute
- Blizzard
- Dragon Pulse
- Focus Blast

Main sweeper of the team. Gets the sub up and regains health with lefties. Once under his sub the rest is really history. Blizzard, Pulse and Focus Blast for great all around coverage


Jellicent @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 248 HP / 100 Def / 160 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Scald
- Recover
- Taunt
- Will-O-Wisp

Basically stalls the hell out of other pokemon. Scald as a STAB in hopes for a burn, Recover to continue a stall. Taunt to get rid of hax pokemon and will o wisp in hopes for a burn. I know this is redundant with scald so if anyone has a better option for will o wisp please share.


Dugtrio @ Choice Band
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Arena Trap
Ev's: 252 Attack/ 32 Def/ 224 Speed
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Sucker Punch
-Shadow Claw

Great Revenge killer and choice band helps power up his moves. Arena Trap basically traps pokes to die especially cuz trio's speed is so high


Skarmory @ Leftovers
Nature: Impish
Ability: Sturdy
EV's: 252 HP/ 232 Def/ 24 Speed
-Whirlwind
-Stealth Rock
-Brave Bird
-Roost

I chose to put Stealth Rock on this Skarmory instead of Spikes is mainly because Forretress already has Spikes. Also Skarm is great for the synergy of the team and nullifies a fighting weakness.
 
You should really put some pictures and better descriptions in order to help out team raters better (I'll rate it later if you fix that) and plus, a mod might lock it.
 
I'm getting frustrated because this team obviously isn't perfect, but I can't see much wrong with it lol. Dugtrio actually looks like a pretty great idea, despite not being able to use Focus Sash, being able to remove Jirachi in particular for Kyurem as well as the other usual threats to Hail.

There are a couple of issues you might want to look at. First, CM Reuniclus WILL beat you. Conkeldurr / Breloom also look like problems, setting up pretty easily, and you can't really stop them besides repeatedly Whirlwinding with Skarmory.

To fix this...try running SubDisable Froslass over Jellicent, and Tentacruel over Forretress. Froslass easily beats Conk / Reun, while simultaneously abusing Hail damage. Tentacruel covers the remaining team threats, such as Infernape, which were opened up by removing Jelli; and also synergises better with Skarm than Forry did.

Good team, but those changes should really make it work even better. Good luck :)

EDIT: Oh wait I just realised Latios is also a pretty big issue for you. One way to fix this would be Jirachi > Skarmory, Gyarados > Froslass. You lose Spikes, spinblocker and some offensive pressure though. Alternatively you could just patch it over by using a more specially defensive Skarm spread, and considering Scarf Kyurem.
 
Even if it's difficult to rate with so little information, I will try to fix the most obvious weaknesses...

First, I think you should replace Skarmory with Gliscor. Your team is very weak to Fighting type pokemon, especially Lucario and Terrakion, and Gliscor can help patching up that weakness. Since you're losing Stealth Rock, you can just fix that by replacing Toxic Spikes with Stealth Rock on Forretress

Gliscor@Toxic Orb | Poison Heal
Impish Nature | 252 Hp / 184 Def / 72 Spe
Earthquake / Ice Fang / Toxic / Protect

Since your team is more defensively minded and you look weak to some special attackers like Latios or Hydreigon, I think you should replace Dugtrio with Blissey. Blissey can also heal your other pokemon thanks to Wish. Here's the set:

Blissey@Leftovers | Natural Cure
Bold Nature | 252 Hp / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Softboiled / Wish / Toxic / Seismic Toss
