Rain Team Strategies and Synergies in Pokémon Champions

Winning with Rain Team requires careful timing of the weather resets and Mega Evolutions. You also need to know which pair to lead with since it can decide the match before the first turn ends. Here are the strategies for playing with the Rain Team.

The Standard Lead (Archaludon + Pelipper): Use this lead if the opponent doesn't have an obvious weather setter. Lead with Tailwind to secure speed control while Archaludon begins sweeping with Electro Shot.
The Anti-Sun Lead (Meganium + Incineroar): If you face a Sun team like Mega Charizard Y, lead with these two. Use Protect on Meganium and Parting Shot on Incineroar to safely swap in Pelipper, overwriting the sun and weakening incoming Fire moves.

How to Beat the Rain Meta in Pokémon Champions
