VGC Rain Team

So, I've been playing Pokemon since summer of 1996 but never competitively. This last year I decided to try my luck in the VGC. Built a team from scratch and started playing online. Sadly, I missed the Regionals this year due to not being able to find someone to cover my shift at work.
After watching this year's world, I'm more pumped for next years tournament. I have to admit, while I've been playing in games for over 15 years, I'm new to the metagame and have a lot to learn. I started to put together a Rain team around OR/AS releases later this year.

I have 7 characters in mind (although some of my favorites aren't here). I need to whittle it down to 6 and of course the rules for this year may throw some curves my way. Any help or guidance is appreciated, It probably has holes all through it so let me know.
 
you need at least three lines of description for each pokemon to explain your reasoning behind the choices made. if you still want this team rated, review the rmt rules and pm me with an updated version of your rmt and i will reopen this
