And now for something completely different
Reserving scarf Raichu
Raichu @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Grass Knot
- Focus Blast
Although Raichu can't switch in on any of Poli's moves (it can tank an Ice Beam if it has to though), it has the almost unique quality of outspeeding poli even while rain is up, and can just kill it off with a Thunderbolt which does a minimum of 78%, so assuming poli took a hit while getting rain up or just took LO recoil it's going to kill.
