Well, here it is.

Well, my first Mono type team. One wildcard, steel ftw!

Jirachi: Bold@ Damp Rock
EV Spread: 252 HP / 60 SpA / 196 Def
~Rain Dance
~Wish
~U-Turn
~Thunder

First wall, pretty basic. Sets up RD, makes Fire not effective extremly pwning on my team. My lead, not many people expect a Rain Dance set up, after that,I have a couple of options. A) U-Turn on the switch, if you think they will, Thunder away, or set up a Wish.

Steelix: Relaxed@ Leftovers
EV Spread: 248 HP/ 108 Atk/ 152 Def
~Roar
~Stealth Rock
~Gyro Ball
~Earthquake

My second wall, not many things get a huge dent in this beast. Can pack a punch with its EXTREMLY slow STAB Gyro Ball. Switch in on something a Physical attacker, and probably SR on the switch. Then, Roar away to accumulate SR damage, or start attacking.

Gyrados: Adamant@ Lefties
EV Spread: 156 HP / 108 Atk / 100 Def / 144 Spe
~Taunt
~Dragon Dance
~Waterfall
~Stone Edge

Bulky Gyara, Rain Boosted, DD, Waterfall will hurt alot. xD. Well, this thing is a BEAST, a wall that can attack better than it walls. Switch in on something it counters, and DD on the switch. Then, it depends on what comes in.

Heatran: Timid@ Choice Scarf
EV Spread: 252 SpA/ 252 Spe
~Earth Power
~HP Grass 67
~Dragon Pulse
~Flamethrower

Standard Tran, I chose Grass over Ice, as my Luke already covers with Ice. Since this is a Steel team, alot of teams will be attacking me with Fire attacks. So, switch in on one of those, and sweep away with a boosted SpA and Spe.

Scizor: Adamant@ Life Orb
EV Spread: 252 Atk/ 32 HP/ 224 Speed
~Bullet Punch
~SuperPower
~X-Scissor
~Swords Dance

You know the drill with this guy, but with Rain out, Fire's power goes down, and so does his only weakness :D SD on the Switch, and just pwn away with Bullet Punch. Not really a way to explain something so OU, meh. Everyone knows what this does.

Lucario: Mild@ Choice Scarf
EV Spread: 40 Atk / 216 SpA / 252 Spe
~HP Ice
~Dark Pulse
~Stone Edge
~Close Combat

MixScarfLuke, pretty basic, helps my team alot, good late game sweeper. I chose this set over Agility, as it gives me more coverage, but I can't switch attacks. Thats a risk I'll have to take :P


Well, I get one wildcard here. Help please. Thanks!
 
I dont understand this teams basic idea, if you are using rain, you have to use it to its fullest potential, ie. swift swim or at least thunder. While you have thunder on rachi, neautral nature 60 SpA evs non stab isnt gonna do much. This also leads me to another huge weakness, ground. EQ rips through 4-6 of your team, and scizor wont like taking EQs.

IMO, while it may sound funny, ludicolo could go in this team, swift swim and resists ground which is nice. Although kingdra is the better option.

Switch steelix for skarmory, immune to ground and has good enough defense, also steelix never wants that much defense evs.

I considered Kingdra, but the real reason I chose Gyara was that it resisted my major weaknesses: Fire, Ground, and Ground.

About Steelix, I've been looking for a switch with him. But as Jirachi isn't a mixed wall, I need a special/mixed wall. Probo, Registeel, or Bastiodon?
 
Bronzong is a decent mixed wall, and can take the Rain Dance burden off Jirachi. Same typing but with a ground immunity makes for a good wall!
