First competitive Raindance Team

Heres a Rain Dance Team I was thinking of Making. Lots of advice appretiated. This is my first attempt at a competitive team.

My main goal is to exploit the 100% accuracy of Thunder during raindance, as well as protect Bronzong from fire, and enhance Gyrados's waterfall.

For natures, and Ev's I've used the standard mostly, tho any suggestions are appreciated. Gengar, Aself, and Jolteon, are all Timid, and have thier eves in special attack and speed. I'll Probly give damp rock to the two Rain Dancers.

The one big issue I see is that I'm pretty vunerable to dark.
 
Hell yeah you're vulnerable to dark.

Of course weavile and tyranitar will bulldoze through this team, and a great counter for both of them would be a rest-talking variant of hariyama. It's the last set in the analysis, I recommend you max out attack and defence, to make EV's easier for you.

Another thing that I don't see justified is mismagius. That movepool is tripe, and jolteon can already phaze for you. Hariyama would be great here.

I also think it's hard to justify gyarados on this team. First off, rain dance is better on jolteon. Jolt is fragile but quick, and can come in and do it fast ad well. DDance outclasses rain dance anyway, so yeah.

You might want to consider kingdra over gyarados. It only takes 1 type super-effective, has a boost on it's STAB water moves, great offensive and defensive stats, AND has it's speed doubled in the rain. Would work out great on this team.

Hope all this helps.

Love your best friend,
