Ok, so, I'm playing OR and decided I'd try and build

>>25845351
It's trash, the benefits of weather are negligible in this gen if you don't use them enough.
As you will be constantly switching, you will be taking damage and barely benefiting from weather because only half of your team does it, and there is not really a build.
Also, what do Trevenant and Camerupt have to do with all this?

i use a duo weathers for my doubles team.
these two.

Tyranitar and Heliolisk.

Tyranitar with sand stream ability for the weather attack and Heliolisk with Sand Veil ability to help Heliolisk dodge in the sand storm.
if you give heliolisk air balloon item for online battles, it makes a great partnership in weather battles.

>>25845351
Is this team for competitive purposes or just in-game?
Either way you can do it. Much more freely if it's for the game since you can use practically anything with no restriction.
To make a competitive team based around weather is a bit more restricted but equally fun.

>>25845384
Trevenant was going to be abusing Harvest.

Camerupt can benefit from(and use) Sunny day and also isn't hurt by Sandstorm

And I was hoping to build the team to be generally defensive to try and deal with that, making it more of a game of wearing them down.

I figured on fucking around online, but not like, trying to actually win anything. I play too much other stuff competitively to try and take a crack at Pokemon. I just want to make sure the idea is valid before I start trying to do it.

Multi-weather teams can be OK. Tyranitar + Sand rush excadrill is a great pair, and you can also have a mega charizard y to both set and use sun. Frankly, hail is a shit weather and isn't really worth using. You can have an abomasnow or HA Aurorus to spam 100% accurate blizzards, but that's about it. For rain you can do all sorts of shit - have a pokemon with hydration and rest+rain dance for a great recovery option. You can always try to use politoed + a swift swimmer, but that strategy isn't so good in singles anymore.

>Sand rush excadrill
oooo i know what im BREEDING next.

>>25845549
How's Avalugg then? I figured on using Hail to just make him last as much as possible while the Hail was up.

Though I guess the combo you're suggesting does the same thing, but far more effectively. Perhaps a Whiscash for it?

If I was going to use a Swift Sim Pokemon, I think it would be Relicanth.

>>25845835
Avalugg is pretty bad - it has the stats of a wall, but ice is horrible defensively. Blizzard spam is basically the only good use of hail-you could go for snow cloak + bright powder shenanigans with Frolass or something but that isn't reliable. Whiscash and Relicanth aren't really top choices for rain users, but if you aren't going for serious competitive then they're probably fine. For Whiscash I would recommend Rain Dance, Rest, Waterfall, and Dragon Dance. With lots of bulk and hydration+rest, you should be able to set up several boosts and then try to sweep. For Relicanth, you would probably want to run Head Smash, Waterfall, Earthquake, and some other coverage move (or it could set its own rain dance).

>>25845835
So a possible team would be:
Mega Charizard Y
Tyranitar
Excadrill
Abomasnow or Aurorus
Whiscash
Relicanth/another swift swimmer/a chlorophyll user

>>25845891
I'm half picking pokemon on them being able to tolerate more than one weather condition, so I can better adjust to my opponent, especially if they're trying to abuse a weather condition themselves.

Which looks to be the final nail for Avalugg, even though I love his look. I guess to plan I had for him was Mirror Coat, but that's better served by Sturdy anyways.

>>25845908
Are you planning on singles or on doubles? Because for doubles there are a lot more multi-weather strategies.

>>25845905
Hmm, looks like a good start. I think I'm going to just drop Hail from the lineup. I'll likely stick with the Trevenant/Harvest build, mostly because I like the look of it and it seems like an interesting thing to do.

Comes out to two for Sun, two for Rain, and two for Duststorm, with some mix and match coverage on the others if I want to avoid one specific weather.

>>25845919
Singles for now, I know basically nothing about Doubles, I figure I'll work on that as I go along.

>>25845944
Sounds good, Harvest Trevenant is [s]super annoying[/s] a strong set.

>>25845986
RIP my attempt to format

>>25845986
What abilities am I using on him?

I was looking at Growth, Shadow Ball, Solar Beam, and then I wasn't sure for the last one. Or Maybe Wood Hammer instead of Solar Beam?

>>25846016
Substitute is a must to abuse Harvest, other than that you are largely free. Most people stall with leech seed and will-o-wisp, but if you want to go more offensive then growth + horn leech + shadow claw/phantom force would work. Physical sets are usually better because Trevenant has much better attack than special attack.

>>25846040
So

Sub
Shadow Claw
Wood Hammer/Horn Leech
Growth

Should do the trick?

>>25846094
Yeah that's solid. EVs should be in HP, Attack, and maybe a bit in Speed to creep things. Play around with it and see what works.
