Ludicolo

Throughout the generations, Ludicolo has established itself as one of the faces of rain offense—its trademark STAB combo, exquisite Swift Swim ability, and marvelous coverage all play a role in making it one of the most destructive rain sweepers in RU. Don't be under the impression that Ludicolo is just limited to dedicated rain teams, however, as it is fully capable of utilizing its unique blend of offensive characteristics to function as a potent, standalone sweeper all the same. Moreover, Ludicolo possesses solid bulk for an offensive Pokemon; this in turn eases its ability to set up Rain Dance and lay down a heavy beating on the opposing team. Unfortunately, Ludicolo's greatest asset is also its most crippling flaw. Despite that fact that Ludicolo performs superbly under the rain, that is pretty much all it can do—it can only function in rain, and as a result, it must dedicate a moveslot for Rain Dance, restricting Ludicolo's options to a certain degree. To make matters worse, Ludicolo's Special Attack is nothing short of mediocre, which makes it difficult to OHKO quite a few threats even with a rain-boosted Hydro Pump. Regardless of its shortcomings, Ludicolo is one of the most self-sufficient Pokemon there is; very little support is required to turn it into a late-game wrecking ball.
