Strategy Overview
Horsea is a potent sweeper thanks to its ability Swift Swim, which doubles its Speed in the rain, and its impressive Special Attack stat alongside strong attacks such as STAB Hydro Pump and Ice Beam, the former of which receives a boost in the rain. Although Horsea is very fast and powerful, it requires support from its teammates in order to sweep; as its Special Defense is lacking, it has difficulty setting up rain for itself, and despite how strong its attacks are, it won't be able to beat specially bulky foes.
