Deciding what to make my team...Has anyone tried out weather teams, and if so, how well do they work? Leaning towards a sandstorm team with Sand Stream, but I'm worried that weather can easily get pineappleed up if say, Abomasnow or something comes out of nowhere. Putting a weather move on half my team seems like a waste of slots.
I used to run teams of my random favorite pokemon prioritizing speed, power, and type coverage (Four attacks of different types, damage boosting hold item), though I worry that any opposing team with any amount of strategy or bulky pokemon will run me over. Especially since I don't usually run movesets with priority attacks, stat resets, or protection against status/attacks that ignore evasion. (Though Choice Band Explosion from Metagross can get rid of something dangerous, and Focus Sash Swampert w/ Counter/Mirror Coat catches a lot of buffed sweepers off guard) Will I get raped trying to use a team like this nowadays?
