Dual Weather:
Tanks to Ezlaturbo who helped me review my team.

On this team, I want to take profit of the fact that Mega Delta Typhlosion’s Supercell is boosted both by Rain and Spiritomb. So, I am basing myself on Mega Delta Typhlosion, Delta Serperior and Spiritomb. I decide my Delta Serperior will be my Defogger and my Spiritomb to be a pursuit trapper. Delta Typhlosion won’t have Thunder this time, I will be using Thunderbolt for better consistency. I will be using Energy Ball as coverage and Volt Switch to keep momentum.

Next, I want a Pokémon that can trive in both weather in case Delta Typhlosion faint. In this case, I pick Keldeo with Surf. Surf is boosted both by New Moon et Rain, plus it has good synergy with Spiritomb and D.Typhlosion. I decide to wait until I finish my team for its set.

Looking at the team, I am getting weak to Grass types. Since rain weaken Fire types, I decide to use Flying / Poison type. Now, I have the choice between Tornadus-T and Delta Vocaronna in my mind. Tornadus-T is a pivot that can check opposing Keldeo when given an assault vest and can shoot 100% Hurricane under Rain, while I can use D.Volcaronna on a wider variety of ways as a special attacker. But Then, Stealth Rock. Finally, I am using Skarmory to keep up against Flying and my growing fairy weakness. Plus, I got hazards. Mega Venusaur seems dangerous, but I can play around it by making it waste Synthesis PP.

Lastly, I would like something that enjoy New Moon since I have enough Rain abuser. Plus, it would be nice if it could setup Stealth Rock. Now, I find Garchomp, but it would worsen my matchup against fairy. In fact, the more I think of if, the harder it get to pass Mega Miloctic. I then turn on its best counter, Toxicroak. Now we are talking! I just need to forget hazards (do not do this at home).

The only thing left is to adapt the sets. I end up choosing Choice Scarf Keldeo because Delta Typhlosion is enough of a wallbreaker.

The reason he’s on most of PeterHolmes74’s teams is that it’s a strong pokemon which has a very useful niche. Also, there should be a guide linking the code.
