Hello all, I recently got back into competitive battling because of black 2 & white 2 and decided to make another team. I made a few before so I am not totally out of practice but I'm sure some things must have changed since Black & White. I noticed there are a large number of weather teams and, although it isn't a new idea, wanted to have a try at a two weather team. I guess you can consider this a stall weather team since everything is bulky and wish passing increases survive-ability.

-stealth rock
-pursuit
-crunch
-fire blast
My lead and special wall. sets up stealth rock to help against Ninetales that lead sunteams into battle.It has fire blast to help against steel types such as Skarmory, Forretress, and Ferrothorn.
(Snips) Scizor @choice band
Nature: adamant
Trait: technician
EV: 248 hp/ 252 atk/ 8 spd
-u-turn
-bullet punch
-superpower
-pursuit
My sexy revenge killer and enemy checker with u-turn. Politoed's rain helps lessen its fire weakness. Superpower for the powerful fighting coverage my team lacks. Switches in for clefable and t-tar against fighting type moves. Bullet punch for stab priority which my team also lacks.
(Swagsire) Quagsire @leftover
Nature: relaxed
Trait: unaware
EV: 252 hp/ 252 def/ 4 spd
-scald
-recover
-toxic
-earthquake
My defensive wall. Can stall with toxic and recover while unaware helps against boosted pokemon. Scald also allows for a chance at burning targets. Being immune to sandstorm is great, while rain boosts its scald.
(Putty) Clefable @leftovers
Nature: calm
Trait: magic guard
EV: 252 hp/4 def/252 spd
-wish
-seismic toss
-protect
-softboiled
A bulky wish passer and is immune to sandstorm and hazards. Protect is used to help stall teams and allow wish to heal. Also works as my first status absorber ^^. Soft-boiled to help it survive to pass another wish.

-trick
-thunder
-psychic
-recover
Bulky second status absorber. It is also immune to sandstorm and hazards. It cripples walls or physical attackers with flame orb burns and easily recovers. Thunder is included in its set in order to take advantage of Politoad's rain. Its bulk allows switches into fighting type moves that target t-tar and clefable, then recovers the damage.
(Jack) Politoad @leftovers
Nature: Modest
Trait: Drizzle
EV: 252 hp/ 252 satk/ 4 speed
-scald
-perish song
-ice beam
-hidden power grass
The rain starter of the team and also a switch in when scizor is targeted by fire type moves. Perish song can cause switch outs while rain+stab boosted scald can burn targets. Ice beam for dragons; hidden power grass for gastrodon and rotom-w. Focus blast isn't needed since scizor can take ferrothorn down with superpower, or t-tar can hurt it with fire blast.
I like the idea of this team. I am thinking of switching Politoad to a bulky staller set for more bulk and another toxic-er; I'd still want perish song though to cause switch outs. Any suggestions?
