Introduction
Well lately I, like many others, have been toying around with Gen V and trying to get the hang of things. Before this team I had made many semi-successful teams, but were always annoyed by weather teams. Once noticing this, I decided I would use this to my advantage, and began expirementing with the best weather in my opinion, rain. After a couple of EXTREMELY offensive rain teams, that always seemed to have problems, I set out to make a rain team that could function well in any weather, and appreciated the rain but did not depend on it, for that is a weather teams biggest downfall.
