Often times, the best user is the one that receives no boosts from it. Remember, Pokemon teams consist of more than 1 member. One of my favorite drought users is Feraligatr. So many people counter drought with water...This is officially the best drought NU pokemon. no doubts about it.
Amoonguss @ leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 140 Def / 116 SpD
Nature: Bold
Ability: Drought
~ Giga Drain
~ Hp Fire/Clear Smog
~ Synthesis
~ Spore
You guys forgot that grass types are the besttest in drought.
Take amoonguss for example.
1) It has access to a 100% accurate sleep move. This allows the mushroom to cripple incoming weather starters.
2) Massive bulk. 114/70/80 is better than most pokes. (really damn bulky. Ferrothorn level)
3) Great typing. Not weak to stealth rock, absorbs toxic spikes, immune to toxic,resists fighting, grass/poison is just so good!
4)Reliable recovery. Synthesis is more than reliable, actually, as it heals 66% health in sunlight. and with its ability, it will always be able to heal 66%. If a weather changer comes in, use giga drain and hp fire to kill those watertype drizzlers and rock types sandstreamers and ice type snow warningers....
BEST POKEMON EVER
Um... I don't kbow what amoongus you are looking at, but the one I see has 114/70/80 defensive stats... On par with ferro in what way, exactly? Seems more on par with victini or jirachi (though jirachi sports far better typing)This is officially the best drought NU pokemon. no doubts about it.

Not that i don't agree, but if i say "It's used because of regeneration", and that point IS moot because of drought, then i've just removed, in my mind, the only reason to use it. Granted, regenerator does make amonguss a lot better, but as a weather starter it's pretty damn great anyhow, with spore making up for no offensive power.Focus Sash Amoongus?
Kyurem Blizzard vs 252/252+ Amoongus = 75.46% - 89.35%
Why...? There's a reason this thing is thought of so highly by 1337 DW players, where it sees more use than Venusaur, Blissey and even Salamence (and don't tell me that it's because of Regeneration because that point is moot when you're using Drought on it anyway!).
actually gastrodon selling points are his double immunity (storm drain + ground- typing), ability to deal damage after hit with an water move and Recover, which makes him a good switch into Toad, Rotom-W and other Rain threats.
