    how do you guys feel about drought and drizzle teams?

    Drought in general has two glaring weaknesses Ground and Fire.

    Drizzle is a bit harder to deal with but that's why they make Kingdra.

    It's all about prediction. For Example I know you're switching out Ninetales after it W-o-Ws or something. I'm gonna use a neutral attack or Stone Edge which will hit pretty much any thing on your team for a decent chunk of HP.

    drought allows for permanent sunny day, and drizzle gives you permanent rain dance (unless they're interrupted by another weather condition or a cloud nine user)

    until gen V, only Groudon and Kyogre had them, but now ninetails and politoed can as well

    from what I hear, they can be very powerful

    Drought- Permanent Sun

    Nintales Gets it as a Dream World ability


    Drizzle - Permanent Rain

    Politoed gets it as a Dream World Ability.


    Both make Weather teams beside Sandstorm viable.

    I am mildly curious about this now.

    drought and drizzle are pokemon abilities that bring permanent sun and rain to the battlefield, respectively

    until a different weather effect comes in, that is

    so a drizzle team would have tons of swift swim pokemon, etc and a drought team would have solar beam users, clorophyll, that fire ability, etc

    now, they werent a big thing until gen 5 because before gen 5 only groudon and kyogre had access to these abilities

    but ninetales gets drought from dream world and politoed gets drizzle from dream world

    so its a thing that could very well be accessible to non ubers teams once they release the pokemon in the dream world

    edit hey nerds please dont post while im typing god damnit

    cloud nine doesn't actually cancel weather

    it just ignores it
    takes no damage, attacks are no longer increased or decreased in strength, and abilities like swift swim and sand veil stop coming into effect

    the weather doesn't end. once sand stream / drizzle / drought are in play, the battle can only be returned to "normal" weather by using another weather move and having it expire normally

    So my roommates, who both got HG and SS respectively a few months ago, blasphemed Chinchou. "It's useless ... worst typing ... " etc. I tuned them out in rage, now I'm set to breed and raise the mightiest Lanturn they've ever seen. At least, they will once I switch in on a Electric attack and they'll all be 'ohhh noooo' and I'll be Yesssss

    Electric Water is good typing. Covers a few of the weaknesses of both good STABs and in Lanturns case it has an immunity.
