WeatherRachi

This set is very effective, and often lethal when it is used to set up rain and heal Kingdra for a second sweep. Mesprit has an almost identical set on-site, and Jirachi has even better typing (for rain, not as much for sun).


Jirachi


[SET]
name: Weather Supporter
move 1: Rain Dance / Sunny Day
move 2: Iron Head
move 3: U-turn / Stealth Rock
move 4: Healing Wish
item: Damp Rock / Heat Rock
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe

Why this set deserves to be on-site:


  • great supporter for either rain or sun teams
  • can beat both Tyranitar and Abomasnow with iron head
  • U-turn can scout their action after the weather changes, while SR is good in general
  • can set up a deadly late-game sweep by healing up a worn-down Kingdra, or other sweeper, with healing wish while also creating rain/sun.
Teammates & Counters:

  • Swift swimmers and chlorophyllers greatly benefit from their respective weather being in play
  • life orb sweepers greatly appreciate healing wish.
  • While Tyranitar and Abomasnow need to beware of iron head, Hippowdon can change the weather without fear.
  • Susceptible to taunt if it doesn't set up weather on the first turn
 
Seems interesting enough but couldn't an OC mention suffice? Jirachi's page is as cluttered as Celebi's and this set can easily be concised to a few sentances. By the way

  • can beat both Tyranitar and Abomasnow with iron head
Can't any Jirachi do this?

This comes from the old Quality Control sweep's changes on Jirachi:

Jirachi:
-Removed Rain Support set and added to Optional Changes
This set was on-site previously, and has since been removed from the site. It's in AC, and there it shall stay.
