well its not just a split move like get rid of torkoal, but when using kyogre in link battles it seems to help because until its dead rain dance is in affect... so maybe you could get some pogeys that make advantage of it, like a ludicolo (not reccomending just saying) his ability makes him recover life every time there is rain... and etc. i was just reccomending doing stuff like that btw what version does your friend have, if he uses groudon cuold be a problem... although kyogre 0wns groudon... groudon can use solarbeam, but krogre can use a STABd, surf w/rd...
