Rain teams win by turning weather turns into immediate pressure. The risk is becoming too dependent on one setup button.

Core Roles

  • Weather setter.
  • Water attacker.
  • Speed control or fast pressure.
  • Grass or Electric answer.
  • Defensive pivot.
  • Flexible matchup slot.

Common Mistake

Do not spend every turn protecting the weather plan. If rain is denied, the team still needs neutral damage.
