PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Water Gun is the superior pick, partly due to STAB. 
  • Tackle lacks STAB and can't be Super Effective against anything.
  • Weather Ball Water is a strong move, and also more efficient as a 3-bar. 
  • Hydro Pump falls a bit behind in performance, is okay if TMs are lacking. 
  • Thunder doesn't fit Rainy Castform's role as a Water-type. 

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Water Gun has the edge on defense with STAB. 
  • Tackle performs similarly, but doesn't have STAB and can't hit for Super Effective damage. 
  • Weather Ball Water as a 3-bar move can be used more often before Castform faints. 
  • Hydro Pump hits the hardest and is the most difficult to dodge, but Castform might faint before it can use it. 
  • Thunder is somewhat inferior, as it deals less damage and doesn't provide very meaningful coverage. 

PVE Overview

Rainy Castform doesn't have the stats to be viable in the meta. At least it looks cute in your dex though.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Water Gun + Weather Ball (Water) and Thunder

Water Gun is preferred for its superior energy gain compared to Tackle, in addition to STAB.

Weather Ball is a strong move for its low energy cost, gets STAB, and can be used frequently. Thunder is recommended for additional coverage, though it's not exactly cheap on energy. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 2 / 5

Rainy Castform is a mono-Water type with decent bulk. Access to the efficient move Weather Ball makes Rainy Castform rather unique, however having only one significant charge move makes it outclassed by the numerous Water-types who already compete for a roster slot. 

Ultra League: 0 / 5

Rainy Castform lacks sufficient stats to compete outside of Great League. 

Master League: 0 / 5

Rainy Castform could be used in Master League to represent the teardrops of defeat.
