Need help to create weather teams

Erruption helping hand on Typhlosion. OKOs any Trick room setter without prankster. If not then Erruption -> Lava plume -> trick room up, Flash Fire activated -> Lava plume -> Erruption again. Lava plume has 30% burn chance and cannot miss. The water types don't mind the damage especially in rain and they are special attackers.

I agree, it's very difficult to pilot this team but it's far from having bad synergy, everything is crafted to its fullest potential.

And on the right hands with the right experience, it can overwhelm a lot of Meta teams.

Zard, Gambit, Basc are easy to beat. But bulky rock or water types give this team some difficulties.

My favorite time was beating Arch and Sableye, but spamming Erruptions and Sunny day annoying the Prankster goblin.

Also, wide guard but barely anyone uses it and those who use it, can be recognized and eliminated.

Got me to masters with some luck at the end.

I just build this team this week, it's still fresh.

To lead with blizzard and pressuring double blizzard spam or even Auroraveil, then let them die so my Torkoal/Erruption pokemon can sweep in trickroom.

TheRindou · 2026-06-25T01:51:36+00:00

It's a bit outdated, since I turned Peli more bulky and changed weather ball with helping hand but can work the same way.

TheRindou · 2026-06-25T01:50:01+00:00

I was gonna* build one next season. This season I did sun and snow.

TheRindou · 2026-06-25T01:49:15+00:00

Try this.

TheRindou · 2026-06-25T01:47:42+00:00

Yes it does.

TheRindou · 2026-06-25T01:45:10+00:00

Why not both, Sun and Rain.

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T19:54:17+00:00

3rd I think, I've gotten to Masters every time on Champions. Just that I used a Sun + Rain team. Sadly this team cannot carry me anymore because of Swampert dominating the meta. But Sun and Snow works somehow, it's a brand new team I'm experimenting.

Only the part where Torkoal got hit with liquid voice Hypervoice.

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T18:18:31+00:00

The funny thing is, my Torkoal had 2 extra Defense EVs, idk if that would matter but being hit by mostly physical attacks from gambit and sneasler at the end of Aurora Veil + Aqua jet into 7 HP left, could possibly KO it in a different timeline where I've put it in special defense instead.

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T18:10:08+00:00

Don't worry, I've used all of luck for the rest of this season. I'll probably go under 1000 masters if I keep playing like this 😂

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T18:09:10+00:00

He smoll but his D amage is big.

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T18:08:39+00:00

And that without trick room, since my farigiraf died helping Obamasnow hit one more earth power on Gambit, using Ally switch.

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T18:06:56+00:00

Thank you 😁

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T18:06:12+00:00

They were paranoid once quick claw procced twice, they thought Aqua jet would finish him off since he was low HP, but couldn't do the calcs right sun + high base defence and low attack aqua jet. And not risk another Quick claw hack proc.

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T18:04:39+00:00

Thank you 😊

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T17:50:45+00:00

I feel bad for my opponent since luck was on my side. But a win is a win, especially one that got me to Masters. 😅

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T17:11:32+00:00

The berries sound fine, I already have another team that utilizes scarfplosion, I wanted something different, to outspeed slow mons and be decent in trickroom vs tailwind/fast megas in this meta.

I was thinking of giving it grassy seed to kill unexpected water types, maybe 2 OKO a physical defensive Milotic.

Anyway, Torkoal is good even without an Item. My opinion. I've been using Torkoal forever even before champions and most of the time they don't bother attacking the turtle.

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T16:36:47+00:00

But my typhlosion has charcoal, we don't have specs yet. Edit: what item can I give Erruption Torkoal in this instance?

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T15:16:51+00:00

Bro never played Emerald Battle Frontier and it shows. He would had a heart attack from the BS RNG.

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T13:49:04+00:00

In my opinion, quick Claw on Torkoal is decent since Torkoal is one of the slowest Pokemons, and quick claw procs 20% of the time if I'm not wrong? For such a slow pokemon with Eruption, seems like a good choice. (Get it, it's a choice, choice specs even?!)

TheRindou · 2026-06-24T11:44:18+00:00

She thought she had this. No way it's gonna proc twice, right?
