Pokémon Champions Rain Teams

A rain team is built around keeping rain on the field, usually with the Drizzle ability, which sets rain the moment its user switches in and again every time it returns for 5 turns. Rain boosts every Water-type move by 50% and cuts Fire-type moves by 50%, makes Thunder and Hurricane 100% accurate, and doubles the Speed of Swift Swim users. Charge moves like Electro Shot even fire the same turn instead of winding up. Set rain, then overwhelm before it fades.

A good rain team wins the weather war and cashes in the boost fast. You want a Drizzle setter to keep rain up automatically, one Swift Swim attacker to abuse the doubled Speed, and a Water breaker that turns the 50% boost into knockouts. Because Drizzle re-sets rain every time the setter switches in, the priority is keeping that setter healthy and able to pivot back in. Sort by Top voted above to see the rain cores the community trusts most.

Rain punishes Fire-based offense and slower teams that cannot outspeed a rain-boosted sweeper. Its weaknesses are structural: another weather ability (Drought, Sand Stream, or Snow Warning) overwrites rain and cancels the boost, and if the opponent knocks out your setter you lose the engine. Spread special attacks and redirection also slow Swift Swim sweepers down. The best rain builds fight for the weather and keep a way to win once rain is gone.

Yes. Rain works in both formats but plays differently: in Singles it leans on Swift Swim sweepers snowballing one on one, while in Doubles it pairs a setter with spread Water moves and support to keep rain up. Use the format filter to see rain teams for your format, then sort by Top voted to find what is climbing ranked right now.

Open any team above and copy its replica code (also called a rental code). Paste it into Pokémon Champions on Switch or mobile and the full team loads instantly, with nothing to rebuild. Codes are tied to a regulation, so check it matches the one you are playing.
