U-turn will ease prediction slightly, as you will be able to see exactly what Pokémon you will be facing and can send out the appropriate sweeper without fear of your opponent switching to its counter on the same turn. Most importantly, you want a Pokémon that can make use of the move U-turn if possible. In OU, you have the options of using a lead that can use the famous Stealth Rock and can possibly let you set up Sunny Day as well. This is probably one of the most important parts when building the Sunny Day team, because this is the Pokémon that will lead the team and attempt to set up Sunny Day.
#POKEMON CRYSTAL DUST SETUP HOW TO#
This part will go step-by-step telling you how to start shape up a good Sunny Day team. This is the part where you will learn how to build your Sunny Day team. It is then suggested that your team has enough Speed to outrun positive nature +1 Heatran, as with sun up, Heatran becomes even more of a threat for a team carrying many Grass-type Pokémon.

Speeds to hit PokémonĪs you may be able to tell, many of the Chlorophyll Pokémon do not have the Speed to match some of these even with sun up, but it is recommended you carry at least one Pokémon which can outspeed a positive nature +1 Dragonite, a Pokémon which can get that boost rather easily. When using Sunny Day in OU, it would be best to run at least 209 Speed on your Chlorophyll Pokémon, since with the sun shining, you are now faster than a positive nature Choice Scarf Heatran, a Pokémon which can spell trouble for your team with its now double STAB-boosted Fire-type attacks.

There are only a handful of Pokémon that can abuse Speed with Chlorophyll, which will be listed here:Īs you can see, their base Speed stats are rather low, but they can manage to fix that with Sunny Day, which will help them outspeed many things, though more so in UU than they will in OU. You will probably see more Sunny Day action in UU than you will in OU, since most Pokémon who benefit from Sunny Day are UU material due to their lesser Speed and Attack stats, though they can also be used in OU as well.

While you will generally find them lacking in Speed, Pokémon with the ability Solar Power can become much more powerful sweepers, gaining a 50% power boost in their Special Attack in return for being sapped 10% of their HP every turn when the sun is shining. Sunny Day's most important effect is probably the aptitude to double the Speed of Pokémon with the ability Chlorophyll, which can make them potential sweepers. It lasts 5 turns (8 with the use of a Heat Rock), and no Pokémon can be frozen while Sunny Day is in effect, meaning Ice-type moves like Ice Beam cannot induce a freeze. Sunny Day also decreases Thunder's accuracy from 70% to 50%, making Thunder a very poor option to utilize while Sunny Day is in play. The healing moves Synthesis, Moonlight, and Morning Sun heal 2/3 of the user's maximum HP. Sunny Day raises Fire-type moves' damage by 50% and causes Water-type moves to do half of their original damage. Another way you can set up Sunny Day is by using the ability Drought, which sadly, is only seen in Ubers by Groudon, who will never get to show its face outside of that place. Like it was mentioned previously, Sunny Day can only be summoned into the field by using the move Sunny Day. With all hope, after reading this guide you may be able to build a good Sunny Day team on your own. The major thing with sun is that there are only a handful of Pokémon that can abuse it. The simple fact that Sunny Day has the ability to boost certain Pokémon's Speed thanks to their abilities makes it just as effective as rain teams, and those teams, of course have potential. It is often said that Sunny Day is "not strong enough," or sometimes "not worth setting up," but this simply isn't true. Sunny Day has potential in both in UU and OU if used correctly. Sadly, as the only Pokémon that can set up infinite sun is banished to Ubers, Sunny Day teams have to set up by using the move itself. While rain, hail, and sandstorm teams are used quite often, Sunny Day teams are left in the dust, trying to gain acknowledgment in any metagame that they can. Sunny Day seems to be the forgotten weather in Pokémon thanks to the introduction of Abomasnow, now providing teams with infinite hail, and also the new field effect Trick Room.
