Rain is a mid ladder meme.

>>32989676

I mean I've seen Rain in the 1800s which I don't really consider mid tier.

They must have been using Golduck to get that high.

I miss permaweather

Oh yeah, I forgot how bad this place was when it came to competitive.

>>32989708
Webs is basically a meme. Very situational and you have to build your whole team around it

>>32989712

You're fucking bad my man

>>32989716
No I'm not. Just because everyone is spamming one Smeargle team built around webs doesn't mean it's good on its own

>>32989712
No, not really. It has been falling off quite a lot in higher tiers, but not because you have to build your team around it, it's because it's unreliable in certain team archetypes. Otherwise Weather and (semi) TR teams wouldn't be given attention either.

"Just because a team is successful with the main point of the team being that thing we're discussing doesn't make it good"

You do understand just because it's niche doesn't mean it's bad, right?

>play webs
>opponent's bisharp boosts to +6
>dies to sucker punch spam from my own bisharp

>>32989727
It from suffers a lot of problems but yeah the one that you mentioned is the main one

>>32989742
Meme basically means niche. It's good under very specific circumstances

>>32989748
Whatever you're trying to say doesn't make sense.

At least it didn't get cucked out of a movepool like Kingdra.

Hey, stop posting pictures of me!

>>32990343
All that Golduck has over Kingdra is Psychic, and I'd rather have STAB Draco Meteor

>>32990548
It also has Focus Blast, and I'd rather be able to muscle past Toxapex or Venusaur than have Draco Meteor.

>>32990548
>>32990614
Mega Swampert is better anyway.

>>32990788
>not using dualswimmers
Swampert for physical, Golduck for special.

>first comes golduck beats mega fug
>then literally me
>now this

cant they just give the fucker geomancy so it can stop being a complete joke already

>>32990947
Golduck isn't a joke, it stops Ferrothorn from switching in which Kingdra can't do. .

>>32990797
I use Kingdra for special.

He has a better design.

I actually unironically like using physical kingdra with rain, mostly in UU, is kingdra actually that bad in OU?

>>32991077
Why would it be bad?

252+ SpA Life Orb Golduck Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 192+ Def Toxapex: 114-135 (37.5 - 44.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery

252+ SpA Life Orb Golduck Psyshock vs. 248 HP / 88 Def Venusaur-Mega: 159-187 (43.8 - 51.5%) -- 7.4% chance to 2HKO

Golduck is SHIT
