- Moves
- ========

- - Sludge Bomb hits grass-types and Spritzee, a common wall, very hard.
- - Earth Power severely hurts or KOs most Pawniard.
- - Hidden Power Electric hits bulky waters for some damage; they would normally wall Tympole.
- - Rain Dance can be used to support the team or sweep on your own.
- Set Details
- ========
- - EV spread maximizes Special Attack while still getting 16 speed outside of rain; the remainder is put into defense.
- - An alternate spread of 36 Def / 196 SpA / 36 SpD / 236 Spe should be used if not using Hidden Power.
- - Life Orb maximizes power, and the IVs minimize recoil.
- - Swift Swim gives Tympole incredible speed in the rain.
- Usage Tips
- ========
- - Set up Rain
- - Bring Tympole in, preferable near the middle or end of the game, when checks and counters have been weakened.
- - Sweep.
- Team Options (good job here!!! I just formatted it)
- ========
- - Voltorb can serve as a suicide rain setter, letting Tympole come in and sweep for 7 turns.
- - Fighting types such as Mienfoo and Meditite can pick off Munchlax and Ferroseed, two common Pokemon that wall Tympole.
- - Bronzor can set up rain and stealth rocks, which is always a big help.
- Other Options
- ########
- - Sub + 3 Attacks, but Tympole can't force many switches.
- - Hydration + Rest, but alas, Tympole is frail.
- - Sludge Wave over Sludge Bomb for a tiny bit more power.
- - Hidden Power Fighting for Munchlax and Ferroseed.
- Checks & Counters
- ########
