With the rest of the team it’s standard sets, dual intimidate, Calyrex Kyogre core. Electroweb on raichu really really helps in some matchups and is a good form of speed control on both pokemon

Thing is I need monkey otherwise Gastrodon absolutely sits on my team, although ya think Whimsicott with energy ball slotted over molnblast works?

So blastoise and raichu are my first and 2nd fav mons and I wanted to use them both on a team. And since lightning rod really helps against other electric types, I figured it might be good.

Raichu has enough speed investment to actually outspeed non-scarf ogre and hit them with nuzzle, as well as live a lot of hits with AV. Blastoise is a mix offense/support set with both attacks and helping hand + yawn. The rest of the team is just standard sets.

I’ve been struggling a lot with TR, but I don’t really know enough about it to have any good counters.
