What is a good "weather" to base a team around?
i want to make a strong weather team, but don’t know which weather to choose. Rain and Sun have the most effects, but Sandstorm gets Tyranitar. Hail seems the worst, but I could be wrong and the Aqua Ring, Ice Body, Leftovers Walrein recovers SO MUCH HP EVERY TURN!!! please help :(

You have that added effect of Sp.def+ and Sand Rush.A great Pokemon comes along with this as you said: Tyra.This thing is beast and if anyone tries to disrupt the sand, mega evolve. Excadrill also is good in Sand. It can work without Sand as well. Also SR setters benefit as most of them are Rock/Ground/Steel type. Hurts every Pokemon except those three types. But then again, those types are common.Good Sand inducer:Tyranitar @ Tyranitarite/Smooth RockEVs: (200 Atk/252 Spd/56 Hp) /(252 Hp/252 Def/4 Sp.def)Nature:Brave/Adamant/Jolly-Stealth Rock/Dragon Dance-Rock Slide/Stone Edge-Crunch/Pursuit-Earthquake/Thunder WaveThe ones in italics go together.

Can set up and sweep along with the sand benefit.
Oh, the other benefits. This thing when paired up with Froslass’s Snow Cloak, wrecks. Evasion + Blizzard = death. Also, the Walerin strategy you suggested is good. Although you can use Abomasnow and that under Trick Room as well. Try Reuniclus with Overcoat to set up TR so it doesn’t get damaged by Hail. This strategy is good and many people won’t see it coming half the time which gives you a bunch of misplays from their side which then becomes a one-sided match.Good Hail inducer:Abomasnow @ Shoice Band/AbomasiteNature: AdamantEVs: 252 Hp/252 Atk/4 DefAbility: Snow Warning —> Same thing-Ice Shard-Seed Bomb/Wood Hammer-Ice Punch-Swords Dance/Rock Slide/Leech Seed

Doesn’t damage anything, but you do get MEGA CHARIZARD Y! Wrecks with Flamethrower/Heat Wave. At 159 base Sp.atk, this thing is like a special Tyranitar. Adamant Talonflame outspeeds most things and gets a boosted STAB Flare Blitz which is the best thing on earth. Even better: +1 Flare Blitz from a Mega Charizard X won’t even need a damage calc in the Sun. Guaranteed OHKO. Halves water-type moves which also gives some protection from threats such as Swampert and Kingdra. Don’t need to set up at all as most fire types are fast enough and some have Drought (fairly common).Even if stopped, fire types function fairly well in most kinds of weather.Good Sun inducer:Ninetails @ Heat RockNature: Timid/ModestEVs: 252 Sp.atk/252 Spd/4 HpAbility: Drought-Solarbeam-Heat Wave/Flamethrower-Extrasensory-Protect

These are just some. I’ll edit in more later.
Hope I helped!-It’s a secret!
