I vote SS as its one of the best Rain Sweepers.

Also would you like a matching ball for one of these?

Also Take Down is just terrible in every way as Return exists. I'd remove it to have both Flail/Confuse Ray.

It's a good rain sweeper, but I just don't like a pokemon that is completely useless if the one or two setters on your team go down. Which is why I don't really like weather.

With Talonflame on the loose, you can switch this in on any of its moves, get the Weak Armor boost, and SD or attack from there. Another option is the Endure/Weakness Policy on a physical threat, which nets you a massive boost in one turn.

For nature, I'd go jolly, because with one weak armor boost you can actually outpace Adamant Mega Aerodactyl and Modest Mega Alakazam, and if Accelgor is running anything but max speed (which they often don't), you'll beat that too. I see that this is an uphill battle, but I'm going to try to convince everyone about Weak Armor.

I'm not a fan of weather either (in fact, I completely hated it in gen 5, and now with the gen 6 changes i'm just fine with it although I still don't love it).

That being said, the best set for Kabutops is definitely a rain set. That's where it's most useful.

(I didn't vote btw, I was waiting to see the votes.)

Now it's pretty clear that rain is winning, but I guess I can make both sets. One Jolly with Weak Armor and Weakness Policy and one Adamant with Swift Swim and Mystic Water.

I edited the proposed sets as their final versions, so just say if you agree with both sets.

Yeah... if I had to choose one, it'd definetly be the rain set, but I like both of them.

I like the changes made to weather, I just hate using them as a centerpiece.

And it's fine Mademoiselle, you can just make one, I have the weak armor set already.

Well I'm probably going to breed one for myself so I might as well distribute it

Cool.

This opens the door which has been forced close since the end of fire type O.O

I voted for the Swift Swim set because I think he's best used in rain, although at the back of my head, I secretly like the Weak Armor set. So yes for both.

No, no it doesn't, we're not distributing everything useless set we breed just for fun, this is actually a viable set (and by viable I don't mean "almost decent in the NU tier") that people who don't like using weather might actually use. And also it really is different from the other set, it's not like it only has a different nature or something.
