Pelipper @ Focus Sash
Ability: Drizzle
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hurricane
- Weather Ball
- Wide Guard
- Protect
Make sure to pack your rain coat because the forecast calls for more than a Drizzle! As the premier rain setter in the Doubles OU metagame, Pelipper enables a dynamic weather archetype with plenty of powerful Pokemon to choose from to support it. Pelipper can throw off perfectly accurate STAB Hurricanes in rain, decimating Grass-type threats like Rillaboom and Sinistcha. Weather Ball threatens to OHKO Landorus. Wide Guard blocks spread attacks like Bleakwind Storm and Icy Wind, allowing teammates such as Landorus and Ogerpon-W to use their boosted STAB attacks with relative safety as well as supporting Rillaboom defensively. Tera Ghost grants Pelipper an immunity to Fake Out, which is especially useful against Incineroar and Rillaboom to preserve its Focus Sash. Rain teams offer plenty of partners for Pelipper, such as Archaludon and Ogerpon-W, with Archaludon notably being able to capitalize on rain with strong one-turn Electro Shots. Rain teams can struggle against Alolan Ninetales, which combats rain with its snow, and bulky Electric-types like Iron Hands and Raging Bolt, making Archaludon and Landorus excellent options, since they handle these threats well and synergize with Pelipper effectively.
