I like Tailwind idea. So, a small slight preference for JoshuaMunoz's set over Celever one.
Hot N Cold
Raseri

Definetly voting flcl. Funnily enough i needed something that crushes momo and fares well against weather: mantine fit the bill perfectly. Really fantastic set, and in my opinion actually superior to both on site ones

hmm tough choice this time. I want to vote for me cause I'm the best. But instead I'll compare the sets!
FLCL's is probably the most consistent of them. Using Mantine's cool typing and stats to wear things down. It falls to offensive teams though, who will make it very hard to set up a sub.
axa's is just a different take on MANtine, with signal beam > ice beam. I do like Signal Beam for sure, but outside of hitting Jynx signal beam isn't that useful. This probably costs some viability of the rain dance set because it can't get past altaria anymore.
celever's is weird but tailwind is cool. If Mantine had uturn id support it 100%, but it doesnt :(
Mine is a jynx lure first and foremost. And an offensive tank second. It is great for Jynx weak teams but thats about it. Still usable though
Dat Blast's wacan mirror coat set is great if youre really weak to electrics, but there is no guarantee it will work, and i dont switch electrics into Mantine. So I could see if having consistency issues.
Hot n Cold wrecks fooly. It's probably my favourite set because toxic stalling owns. It wrecks teams so hard. Awesome set :)
JoshuaMunoz's set looks inferior to rain dance just because of how limited Tailwind is. It lasts for so few turns it is almost not worth using. If Tailwind lasted as long as rain dance id support it for sure, but right now it just gives up the Hydro Pump boost.
So after thinking about it, I have to vote for Hot n Cold for making the most consistent set, FLCL is a close second, but it has little use against offensive teams. While Hot n Cold can still Scald and Protect against them.

Annoyer

HnC because that set also works pretty well as a good defensive pivot and makes good use of Mantine's great typing in NU. Protect is also cool cause you can scout for possible HP Electrics from Samurott as well as for Rotom-S to make predictions easier and gaining lefties recovery which is important for the lack of recovery in general. i remember facing it once in spl against malekith where it kinda annoyed me with protect shenanigans (it wrecks fooly but what doesnt :o)
