Castform
ProsCan use a bulky Cosmic Power set, but it won’t workThat’s about it.
ConsIt’s CastformBad base stats (70 everything)Good movepool but crappiest stats everHas to use Rain Dance to set up rainThe first con explains everything imo
Politoed
ProsOK special defense stat which means it can survive most super-effective special attacksHas Drizzle to doesn’t need Rain DanceCan run a physical or special setWorks effectively on all rain teamsOnly 2 weakness (grass and electric)
ConsNot the greatest movepoolNot great defense stat means it can be easily OHKO’d by a physical move
Verdict: Go for Politoed because Castform sucks so much, the cons can’t even be put into words.Vague answer, I know, but hope this helps!-It’s a secret!
