Rain Team for an Alpha Sapphire playthrough
Approaching gym 7 in my run and therefore story climax. At this point i started to planning for my elite 4 team, while realising i never used rain team before and super exited to do so, team building and planning are my favourite parts of a game. However i don't have much experience, thus i require advises.
My current plan:
Kyogre, Drizzle, rain set-upper obviously
Swampert, Swift Swim during mega, STAB earth moves
Ludicolo, Swift Swim or Rain Dish, which one is better, STAB grass
Tentacruel, Rain Dish, probably would have to use instead of Kingdra, STAB poison moves
Manectric, for STAB Thunder
Armaldo, Swift Swim, just for more coverage
To be considered:
Peliper, Rain Dish, STAB Hurricane
Kingdra, Swift Swimm, assuming it's easy to find someone ho will trade me a Horsea with dragon scale or at least trade mine back
Parasect, Dry Skin, hard to acquire
Golduck, Swift Swim
Huntail, Swift Swim, requires trading
Castform, Forecast, Weather Ball
Dewgong, Hydration, STAB ice moves, hard to acquire
Whiscash, Hydration, STAB earth moves
Gorebyss, Hydration and Swift Swim, requires trading
Alomomola, Hydration
Vaporeon, Hydration, hard to acquire
Seismitoad, Swift Swim, STAB earth, hard to acquire
Luvdisc, Hydration and Swift Swim, Trash anuway
Carracosta, Swift Swim, hard to acquire
Beartic, Swift Swim, STAB ice, hard to acquire
Any electric type for Thunder, though i doubt anything would be better than Manectric due to it's ability to mega, only Lantern and Magnezone probably, for their Typing
Could also bring something from gen 5 or 6 games thorough Pokemon Bank and Poke transfer, though it will kinda ruin game integrity for me
Also i have no idea what items should i use apart from mega stones
