I made like, four teams yesterday and each one revolves around a certain weather condition. So here I go o:

Obama's Ho
Abomasnow @ Leftovers
Sassy
252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
-Substitute
-Leech Seed
-Blizzard
-FOCUS PAWNCH

My Hail lead. This thing is awesome with the ability to bring in Hail at will. Being slower than Tyranitar allows me to keep Hail in play, while finding an effective counter such as Hariyama. Being faster than Hippowdon keeps Sandstorm in play, but allows me to OHKO with Blizzard if it hits.

Substitute on Stealth leads, or if I predict switches. I may proceed to using Leech Seed on the following turn, or attack with Blizzard/Focus Punch depending on the opposing Pokemon in play at the time. The following EV spread gives Abomasnow a bulky appearance on the special side.

Squid Thing
Tentacruel @ Leftovers [Liquid Ooze]
Calm
252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SpD
-Surf
-Toxic Spikes
-Knock Off
-Rapid Spin

My team's Spike user and Rapid Spinner to get rid of Spikes and Stealth Rocks that may hinder the effectiveness of my stallrein. Knock Off is one of my favorite moves, as it shows me what set my opponent is using. Knocking off leftovers can make sure Hail will slowly bring down the opposing Pokemon, seeing as Hail takes 6.25% damage to all non Ice-type Pokemon. Approximately 16 turns will KO a Pokemon with no Leftover recovery, and no damage taken already.

Toxic Spikes are key to this team. With Hail already present, poisoning the enemy can make things much worse for them. Tentacruel always sets a layer of Spikes with its decent speed, and sometimes even placing another layer.

As for the EVs, they are standard.

Stallrein
Walrein @ Leftovers [Ice Body]
Bold
220 HP / 244 Def / 46 SpD
-Substitute
-Protect
-Roar
-Surf

This is the main key staller of this team. It has single-handedly taken down four Pokemon when I only had this left. This set, and the EV spread, were designed by a member on Smogon where he demonstrated the effectiveness of this set. He said that if this set is used properly, it can stall for up to 30 turns.

One-on-one, this Walrein can definitely beat some common Pokemon such as Gyarados and Suicune. The idea is to bring Walrein on something that it's faster than, or something that can do no damage to it, and proceed with Substitute. Protect the next turn, Substitute depending on the move they were going to use and if it'd break it, and then Protect the following turn. Not only is Protect good for stalling, it is also good for scouting opposing Pokemon, too.

Roar is here to phaze Pokemon like DDGyara, SD Scizor, and CM Suicune; Pokemon that try to use Walrein as set-up fodder. Surf is here for STAB, mainly.

EVs were directly from a member on Smogon, so I'll try to find the link soon.

Frostbite
Rotom-F @ Choice Scarf
Modest
4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
-Blizzard
-Trick
-Shadow Ball
-Thunderbolt

This Rotom takes advantage of the boosted accuracy of Blizzard. With Choice Scarf attached, it makes a great Trick Pokemon, and revenge killer. Rotom also makes a great anti-spinner, too. Shadow Ball and Thunderbolt are for STAB, and they provide pretty decent coverage. The famous "boltbeam" combo is included in this, with the boosted power of Blizzard and it's higher chance of freeze. Trick is an amazing move that switches items with the opposing Pokemon, so doing so with a Blissey will screw your opponent up.

EVs, again, are standard from Smogon.

Frostbite
Rotom-F @ Leftovers
Bold
252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SpD
-Discharge
-Blizzard
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

I'm thinking about using this Rotom set over the previous for bulkiness rather than raw power. Pretty self-explanatory; Rest to heal damage and status or switch into a Hypnosis/Sleep Powder/Spore, and follow up with Sleep Talk. Discharge helps more than Thunderbolt since this bulky Rotom can make use of the paralysis that Discharge may provide. Blizzard is used for STAB, and makes great use of the 100% accuracy given from Hail.

Bulky EVs are standard, yet again. I'm not in the mood to make custom sets. =P

Hairy Mama
Hariyama @ Leftovers [Thick Fat]
Impish
80 HP / 172 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Spe
-Knock Off
-Whirlwind
-Force Palm
-Stone Edge

Hariyama is definitely one hairy mama. ;) loljk. Anyway, Hariyama keeps Tyranitar, Heracross, and friends in check, and, without Hariyama, they can rip through this team with little to no effort.

Knock Off is a given, showing me what set the Pokemon is using, and messing up with a wall's recovery. Whirlwind helps phaze Pokemon attempting to set-up, and to accumulate Toxic damage from the Toxic Spikes. Force Palm is for STAB, and can often help give paralysis to the opposing Pokemon. Stone Edge provides coverage and hits Gyarados and Salamence pretty hard.

EVs can be found on Smogon.

I lol at the Swine Flu
Mamoswine @ Choice Band [Snow Cloak]
Jolly
252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
-Earthquake
-Ice Shard
-Stone Edge
-Superpower

This Mamoswine can put a dent in nearly everything with its 130 base attack. Earthquake and Ice Shard give STAB, while shooting off some tremendous power. Ice Shard helps finish off frail Pokemon that this Pokemon can't already outspeed. Stone Edge hinders the heck out of Zapdos, Gyarados, Salamence, and friends. Superpower off of BandedSwine with max attack can hurt like hell to all that don't resist it.

Again, EVs are from Smogon.



Rate, comment, subscribe. =O Wait, this isn't Youtube.

I would suggest you change Your Rotom to Rotom-H and scarfed so youc an beat things like Lucario, Mamowsine and Scizor with Overheat. I would suggest you change Knock Off on Tentacruel to Ice beam so Salamence cants et up on you.
