The alt that I used was perfect8589869056.
Proof of Peak:

Inspiration:
There was someone on the uu ladder using an av tatsugiri rain team around a year ago.

Team Breakdown:

Pelipper @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 248 HP / 176 Def / 84 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
Tera Type: Steel
- Hurricane
- U-turn
- Roost
- Surf
You can not have a rain team without Pelipper. Pelipper is nice at checking idef Zama and sets rain for the whole team. I refer running tera steel/poison over tera ground to either take a hit from dd kyurem or absorb t-spikes. However, I only terad Pelipper in one game. 76 spdef evs allows me to guarentee live Iron Valiant's moonblast. Specs Enamorus only has a 37.5% chance to OHKO pelipper.

Tatsugiri @ Assault Vest
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 32 SpA / 140 SpD / 84 Spe
Modest Nature
Tera Type: Fairy
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Rapid Spin
- Mirror Coat
The main form of removal for rain is iron treads. However, iron treads is too passive and does not directly benefit from the rain. Tatsugiri provides hazard removal whilst also benefiting from the rain .
252 SpA Choice Specs Enamorus Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 140 SpD Assault Vest Tatsugiri: 288-342 (84.7 - 100.5%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Iron Valiant Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 140 SpD Assault Vest Tatsugiri: 266-314 (78.2 - 92.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
204 SpA Kyurem Freeze-Dry vs. 252 HP / 140 SpD Assault Vest Tatsugiri: 268-324 (78.8 - 95.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Protosynthesis Raging Bolt Dragon Pulse vs. 252 HP / 140 SpD Assault Vest Tatsugiri: 252-296 (74.1 - 87%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Walking Wake Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 140 SpD Assault Vest Tatsugiri: 252-296 (74.1 - 87%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
208+ SpA Primarina Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 140 SpD Assault Vest Tatsugiri on a critical hit: 296-350 (87 - 102.9%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO
It OHKOS all these mons with draco meteor or surf in rain with the exception of enamorus which gets OHKOd by mirror coat.
Tera fairy allows tatsugiri to wall walking wake and dragapult which are two main issues of rain. Tatsugiri walls Wish pivot alomonola.
Darkrai and Gholdengo are 2HKOd by surf outside of rain and Iron valiant gets OHKOd in rain.

Tornadus-Therian @ Choice Specs
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hurricane
- U-turn
- Weather Ball
- Grass Knot
Tornadus-Therian is the main breaker of the team. Tera flying hurricane 2HKOs Slowking-Galar. Flying resists such as Gholdengo,Zapdos Kingambit are 2HKOd by Weather ball. I decided to use grass knot as my third move for tera water Garganacl. U-turn helps me position.

Basculegion @ Choice Band
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Wave Crash
- Flip Turn
- Aqua Jet
- Head Smash
I chose basculegion as my choice of swift swimmer as tera water Wave Crashes are very had to switch into. The ghost typing is useful for extreme speed dragonite . Jolly was chosen to out speed Roaring moon and Iron valiant at +1.
252+ Atk Choice Band Tera Water Basculegion Wave Crash vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon in Rain: 385-454 (109.6 - 129.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Head smash 2HKOs Dragonite and OHKOs Kyurem . Alternatively, you could run psychic fangs for the screens matchup.
Alternatively, you could run Barraskewda as the choice of swift swimmer. It is naturally faster so it can revenge more threats without requiring rain. It also has greater longevity as it does not need to lock in to Wave Crash. However, it is worse into the Dragonite matchup which is why I used tera ghost.

Kingambit @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Supreme Overlord
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
Tera Type: Fairy
- Swords Dance
- Low Kick
- Iron Head
- Sucker Punch
Kingambit helps check opposing Kingambit,Dragapult and Kyurem and acts as a switchin to Gholdengo and Darkrai. Shuca berry allows me to trade into tera normal Dragonite which can be quite scary. I decided to use shuca berry over air balloon as Lefties/Boots Kyurem, Roaring moon and Dragonite were more likely to trade into Kingambit. Tera Fairy is a nice neutral typing that still resists Dark moves.
