Team building around Umbreon

Let's discuss a strategy that's been working incredibly well for me lately - Weather Offense!

I've been running a Sun team and the damage output is absolutely insane. Here's the basic concept:

Sun Setter

The Setup:
Lead with Drought Ninetales to automatically set Sun. This boosts Fire-type moves by 50% and activates Chlorophyll on your Grass-types.

Key Pokemon:

  • Ninetales (Drought setter)

  • Venusaur (Chlorophyll sweeper)

  • Charizard (Solar Power variant)

  • Excadrill (Sand Rush for anti-weather)


Sun Sweeper

How It Works:
Under Sun, Venusaur doubles its speed and can outspeed most of the tier. Solar Beam becomes a 1-turn nuke, and Growth gives +2/+2 in Sun. Charizard with Solar Power hits absurdly hard, though the recoil is rough.

Counters to Watch:

  • Rain teams (weather war)

  • Rock-types (Rock Slide spam)

  • Tyranitar (Sand Stream cancels Sun)


Has anyone else been running Sun teams? What's your experience been like?

Has anyone tried this with a different approach? Curious to hear alternatives.
