I'm really excited about this project! I've been rating teams on and off throughout the course of a few months and am thrilled that there's now a place to help me and others improve. Anyways, here's my latest rate that I recently posted Dragons's Rising From the Ashes team. I hope you guys can look over it and make suggestions on how to improve in the future. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Dragons. Pretty cool team you’ve got here, but I am concerned that it lacks a way of handling Volcarona. The fiery moth can set-up against a large portion of your Pokémon and proceed to rip through the rest of them using its fine selection of moves. To remedy this problem why not use Jellicent in place of Gengar? It will make a fine addition to your team it still possesses the ability to block Rapid Spin and can stop Volcarona cold thanks to its unique Water/Ghost-typing, Taunt and Scald. Another benefit it brings to the table is that it can slowly deconstruct stall teams by preventing their recovery and ability to status you with Taunt while damaging them with Will-O-Wisp, its one attack, and entry hazards.
You’re also going to have some trouble facing physical Dragon-types such as Haxorus. Once they set-up a Dragon Dance then your team is going to have one hell of a time trying to stop them and their barrage of insanely powerful attacks. My suggestion here is to use Skarmory over Ferrothorn. The metal bird can successfully wall the aforementioned threats while allowing you to maintain the ability to provide entry hazard support for your team. Obviously, this change will also give your team a better way of keeping Fighting-types under control. This means that you can potentially use a different moveset on Celebi without having to worry about Fighting-types running straight through your team. The ideal moveset would consist of Giga Drain, Earth Power, Hidden Power [Ice], and Nasty Plot. This is a great because you’ll be able to penetrate Heatran’s defenses which makes pulling off a Latias or Metagross sweep much easier. However, if you choose to go in this direction then you need to run Hidden Power [Fire] on Latias so that you can still break apart the common Rotom-W/Scizor core. Finally, one final nit-pick of mine is to run an EV spread of 248 HP / 252 SDef / 8 Spd on Heatran if you're going to run a defensive variant. Good team, good luck, and I hope my suggestions help.
