Is Politoed good competitively?
Politoed is average and does not perform any role exceptionally well. While not necessarily bad, it lacks the practicality and utility of other defensive Water-types such as Jellicent due to its convenient secondary typing, access to moves like Will-O-Wisp and Taunt, and reliable recovery.
Is Politoed with drizzle banned?
Drizzle is banned because rain teams were dominating the very end of UU beta. Very little on offense could stand up to drizzle-boosted rain teams. Instead of banning Politoed, UU decided to ban Drizzle due to the risk that Pelipper might fall down (rain is getting less popular in OU) and cause the exact same problem.
How do you beat the rain team?
Electric and Grass are your weapons of choice here. Electric resistances on rain teams are limited mostly to Grass-types, Thundurus-T, and the handful of Ground-types usable in rain like Gastrodon. Spamming Electric attacks works wonders versus rain, as they will often have little to sponge Thunders and Discharges.
Why is Pelipper better than Politoed?
While Politoed is bulkier and has more supportive options, Pelipper is more offensive. Hurricane and Hydro Pump give Pelipper excellent STAB coverage that allows it to keep momentum while also breaking foes, especially Grass-types. This, combined with less overall bulk, makes it a frailer rain setter than Politoed.
