Rain Team Building
- Rain Lead
- Gets the rain going at the start of the battle, then allows you to get your sweepers out as soon as possible by means of Explosion, U-turn, Memento, etc. They try to take out common opposing leads if possible, and some leads can even set up the all-important Stealth Rock to help your sweepers. Most hold the item Damp Rock to extend the length of the initial downpour.
- Swift Swim Sweepers
- Pretty self-explanatory. These Pokemon abuse their Speed doubling abilities in the rain to lay waste to the opposing team. They can hit with both physical and special based Water-type attacks, and many of them can be powerful mixed wallbreakers as well.
- Dedicated Rain Dance setter / Bulky Rain Dancing Sweeper
- Since the rain only lasts for a maximum of eight turns, you will need to replenish the rain sometime in the battle as it is very difficult to sweep a team in only eight turns. Therefore, Rain Dance teams carry a Pokemon whose primary objective is to set up Rain Dance. Once this is done, they can go on to set up further support such as Stealth Rock, Reflect, and Light Screen, or they can use their own rain to stage a sweep. Usually these Pokemon also carry Damp Rock to have the rain last as long as possible.
- Supporting Pokemon
- There are a few problem Pokemon that give almost all Rain Dance teams trouble. As such, many Rain Dance teams carry Pokemon that are adept at dealing with these threats to then give the sweepers a much easier time plowing through teams.

Threats
OU
UU
Ubers
- Kyogre for its permanent rain.
- A Stealth Rock user to aid your sweepers.
- A Groudon, Rayquaza, and Tyranitar counter. A counter to opposing Kyogre is also very helpful. Anything that can get rid of your rain is a huge threat.
- Resistances to Ghost-, Dark-, Dragon-, Grass-, and Electric-type attacks (Ubers rain teams tend to be very vulnerable to these attack types).
- Rain abusers. These are best left to Swift Swim Pokemon, powerful Water-types, or just a powerful special attacker that can take advantage of firing off 100% accurate Thunders in the rain.
