Boosting Water move power is viable
Surf slot can be higher-power Hydro Pump or Weather Ball.Hydro Pump has accuracy issues; Weather Ball changes type outside rainhave drawbacks — compare and adopt.
Lead deploys rain or Tailwind; U-turn hands off to aces while keeping advantage. Beyond support, leverages Sp.Atk and STAB to pressure switch-ins and pin chipped foes as a sub-attacker.
Weak to Electric types and weather-ability holders
4x weakness Electric attacks usually OHKO before Sitrus activates. Weather-ability holders overwrite rain, so In bad matchups, U-turn to redeploy is an option. Consider it.

Drizzle changes weather, Tailwindand Tailwind boosts all allies' Speed, shaping the board — Pelipper build. Focus Sash gives one-hit survival, reliably supporting allies.
Weather Ball for reliable accuracy is also viable
Muddy Water can swap to Weather Ball (reliable accuracy). Under rain it becomes a 100-power Water move.
Setting rain via Drizzle and Tailwind, creates a board where allies attack from above. After support, always-hit Hurricane under rain and team-target Muddy Water let it chip as an attacker too.
Weak to weather-changers and Sash-drainers
Fake Outor chip damage from Sandstorm to Focus Sashdrains Sash or weather change makes favorable boards hard. Withdraw and redeploy if facing threats.
