    Under the rain, Ludicolo is an amazing special sweeper, boasting excellent coverage and utility. It has a good Special Attack stat and, when backed by a Speed boost under the rain, it can outpace neutral-natured +1 base 108 Pokemon, such as Terrakion and Infernape, and wreck opposing teams. Although it faces some competition for a team slot from other special rain sweepers, Ludicolo's superior type coverage, giving it the ability to beat bulky Waters as well as Ferrothorn, makes it more than eligible for a team slot.

    Hydro Pump provides powerful STAB that, under the rain, easily OHKOes 248 HP Scizor and severely dents anything that doesn't resist it. Giga Drain provides Ludicolo with secondary STAB and also gives Ludicolo the ability to recover its health and take on bulky Waters one-on-one. Ice Beam gives great coverage in conjunction with Ludicolo's STABs, hitting everything in the game for at least neutral damage, and takes care of the Dragon- and Grass-types that would otherwise freely switch into Ludicolo. Focus Blast can OHKO some variants of Ferrothorn, and it will at least 2HKO all others, albeit only 49% of the time due to Focus Blast's ridiculous accuracy. Ludicolo also boasts an above average Special Defense, letting it take many Scarfed special attacks and KO back with ease. For example, it can take a Scarf Latios Draco Meteor and KO back with Ice Beam. Ludicolo will often find itself surviving and retaliating to opposing offensive threats, as not many Pokemon that carry super effective Bug-, Poison-, or Flying-type moves can take it on.

    Although the Special Rain set is the standard (and for good reason), the Swords Dance set is also a very respectable set in itself, being able to set up on and take out many of the Special Rain set's counters. Blissey for example is easily KOed by a +2 Waterfall and Chansey likewise. Ice Punch 2HKOes Celebi with the boost and Seed Bomb does huge damage to bulky Waters, OHKOing most. Although this set may at first seem rather pointless due to Ludicolo's below-average Attack stat, Swords Dance boosts it to an impressive 681 when coupled with Life Orb and an Adamant nature. Waterfall does obscene damage to anything that doesn't resist it and rivals a +1 Gyarados in terms of power, the difference here being Ludicolo's higher Speed in the rain and overall better coverage.

    A SubSeed set is almost a standard for all Grass-types, and with Ludicolo this is no different. Ludicolo does however, bring a unique advantage to the table: Rain Dish. With Rain Dish + Leftovers + Leech Seed, Ludicolo can restore over 25% of its health each turn, allowing it the use of endless Substitutes. Protect can help Ludicolo gain even more health, meaning the opponent will be struggling to dent Ludicolo. With only 3 weaknesses and above-average defenses, Ludicolo can find numerous opportunities to set up, making it an excellent Pokemon to have on a rain stall team.

    When using this set, Ludicolo should fire Leech Seed immediately after it switches in, and then proceed to alternate between Substitute and Protect, eventually stalling the opponent to death. Substitute and Leech Seed form the fabled combination that can PP stall other Pokemon and bring unlimited frustration to the opponent. Protect is the main option for the third slot but Toxic can be used to speed up the slow process of death for the opposing Pokemon. It also gives Ludicolo a way to deal with opposing Grass-types that don't share a Steel or Poison typing. Finally, Boiling Water in the last slot gives Ludicolo a solid STAB move that has a chance to burn and cripple physical attackers, whilst Giga Drain gives another STAB move that can heal Ludicolo even more. Ice Beam can be used to do damage to Grass-types that want to switch into Leech Seed; however, it usually does not do much damage due to this Ludicolo's lack of Special Attack investment, so switching out is in this case probably the better option.


    Altre Opzioni


    Outside of what is listed, Ludicolo doesn't have many options. Focus Punch can be used on the Special Rain set for Blissey and Chansey but Focus Blast is usually better as it hurts Ferrothorn more. Energy Ball can also be used for its higher Base Power but Giga Drain outclasses it thanks to the recovery that it provides. Hidden Power Psychic can be used to OHKO Toxicroak and do some serious damage to Tentacruel but there isn't much space for it on the set. Zen Headbutt is useful on the Swords Dance set but Ice Punch is usually the better option as it provides perfect coverage with Ludicolo's two STABs. A Choice Specs set can also be used but it is outclassed by Kingdra as Kingdra has much more power and very good coverage.

    Checks & Counters


    Special Ludicolo is stopped cold by Blissey and Chansey who can slowly wear it down with Toxic. They must watch out for the SubSeed set though as it is able to set up on both of these Pokemon and stall them out. Any Grass-type that can take an Ice Beam is a decent counter. Celebi is a good example as it can switch into Ludicolo and Thunder Wave it, stopping Ludicolo's sweep in its tracks. Tentacruel resists three of the four moves on the special set and can turn Giga Drain into a liability with its ability Liquid Ooze. Any faster Choice Scarf Pokemon that can OHKO Ludicolo is a good check, although you must not underestimate its respectable defenses.

    Any strong physical wall can take on Ludicolo's Swords Dance set. Skarmory can switch in and OHKO with Brave Bird. Gyarados can Intimidate Ludicolo and then phaze it away with Dragon Tail or Roar. Ferrothorn can wall any set without a Fighting-type move and set up Spikes on it. Abomasnow can also switch in without fear if Ludicolo is without a Fighting-type move and also changes the weather.

    For the SubSeed set, any Grass-type can switch in and negate the Leech Seed but they must beware of a super effective Ice Beam. Any Pokemon with Taunt can also stop the set cold, making Ludicolo dead weight until it switches out.

    On any of the offensive sets, if the rain is stalled out, then Ludicolo becomes practically useless and can easily be killed.

    Dream World


    Ludicolo's Dream World ability is Own Tempo, which prevents confusion. It's effectively useless when compared to Ludicolo's two other excellent abilities and should therefore not be used in competitive battles.
