Any Advice on my Rain Team?

[Eruptor]

I've been playing Pokemon Online for a little bit now, and I made an OU tier team. I've made a rain dance team and just wondering if anyone had any advice on how to improve it.

1) Magnezone (Bohr)

- Choice Specs, Magnet Pull, Modest

Volt Switch, Thunder, HP (Fire), Flash Cannon

148 HP, 252 SpA, 108 Spe

This guy is mainly for Scizor, Jirachi, Ferrothorn, and Forretress so I can trap them with magnet pull and defeat with HP (Fire). Also a good SpA. I feel very comfortable with this guy.

2) Politoed

-Choice Specs, Drizzle, Modest

Surf, Ice Beam, Focus Blast

HP (Grass) 252 SpA, 4SpD, 252 Spe

I love this guy, he sets up my rain with drizzle and does very well with surf, and can occasionally sweep. Without him I would not have my rain dance team. I'm not sure about the focus blast, I never use it and it usually misses. Any other suggestions for it?

3) Rotom-W

- Leftovers, Levitate, Modest

Thunderbolt, Hydro Pump, HP (Fire), Pain Split

112 HP, 252 SpA, 144 Spe

This guy is a good sweeper, and great for switching in on an earthquake, and taking out other water pokemon. Plus, he is a little bulky which never hurts and can take some more damage than say politoad.

4) Gliscor

- Toxic Orb, Poison Heal, Impish

Ice Fang, Earthquake, Swords Dance, Protect

252 HP, 184 Def, 72 Spe

Here is my main physical wall. He does good against fighting types, the ground types and is often used to take out the frequent dragon pokemon that shows up. The swords dance isn't used too much, and when it does usually they send out someone who can stall it, so I don't know what to do with it.

5) Gyarados

- Choice Band, Intimidate, Jolly

Waterfall, Earthquake, Double-Edge, Ice Fang

252 Att, 88 Def, 168 Spe

Honestly, I made this guy 5 min ago and never really used him before, actually, I never used him but he seemed cool. Maybe there is a better choice out there. This is kind of my free spot so any suggestions would be great.

6) Mamoswine

- Choice Scarf, Snow Cloak, Jolly

Icicle Spear, Superpower, Earthquake, Stone Edge

252 Att, 4 Def, 252 Spe

I've only used him for a little bit, but he does well. He is mainly used to outspeed everyone which comes in handy with those dragons, and gliscor, and such.

So there is my team. I'm just worried about all of the scarfs, as I feel it limits my team to one attack per pokemon which may not be good. I feel fine making switches to mamoswine, gyarados, and everyone else seems pretty solid on my team the way I see it. Also, any thoughts on toxicroak? Any and all suggestions will be helpful and thank you for your time.

Hey !

I give you some advices to this team :

_ You run a Rain Team, which boosts Water moves but makes Fire moves weaker. Two of your pokes have Hidden Power Fire. HP Fire has only 70 base power with no weather, it is a very good move but the base power is not very high, and you cut it even more by using a Rain Team ...

_ Stealth Rock is the best move in the game, why not using it ?

_ This RMT is very hard to read, please put some more efforts to make it readable and it will be easier for us to rate.

Then I'll try to make some changes :

_ Let's keep you're Politoad since you love it, and because it's obviously a Rain Team

_ It looks like it's not a Rain Stall team, so you need pokes that can abuse the rain. Since Rotom-W is good, let's keep it too ! But change HP Fire for Will-O-Wisp, Thunder over T-Bolt if you want too (Thunder is 100 accuracy in Rain) ou even Volt Switch.

_ Gliscor is your only wall, all the defense of your team is up to him. Let's give him some help. You need also a Stealth Rocker. As you said, Gliscor takes Fighting moves pretty well, so why not adding Ferrothorn ? He has rocks, the Rain protects him a little from fire and he can take Dragon type moves. He can also check your opponent's Rotom-W.

Ferro's Standard set is good : http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/ferrothorn

_ After that, why not using the two top pokes of OU ? D-Nite and Scizor !!! The mixed attacker (rain) for Dragonite and CB Scizor may be a good choice to start !

Dragonite : http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/dragonite
Scizor : http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/scizor

Dragonite is another sweeper that can abuse the rain and Scizor can revenge kill with Bullet Punch.

Sorry, I lack of time, try with that but I assume that you'll have trouble with sun teams atm ... Hope I helped, we will see that weakeness later !

I would change Mamoswine's item to Life Orb and change Icicle Spear to Ice Shard. Then invest some of those speed evs into the defenses? That may help. Also can you please add some pictures?
