I need help with making the best I could with a rain team centered around Politoed

Im using politoed since its my favorite pokemon and i want to give it master rank ribbon since im collecting ribbons on my Politoed

Im struggling to make a team that can keep up with the ranked battles since i just get KO in one attack most of the time

Politoed
Ludicolo
Ogerpon wellspring
Urshifu rapid strike
Fluttermane
Koraidon


Fluttermane and Koraidon is just for power...

Thats my line up right now
 
ok so, a few notes

1 I presume you are talking about VGC Regulation G, which is a very different format from Doubles OU or Doubles Ubers, so going to the VGC Room on PS!, or VGC thread would give you a better answer.
2 Koraidon + Politoed is very unsynergetic because Koraidon summons the sun; but Politoad summons the rain. so I would switch Koraidon for a Miraidon (a mon that sets terrain and can still do huge damage).
3 Next I feel you need a (usable) fake out user, maybe Iron Hands over Ludicolo so it can take advantage of of the boost from Electric Terrain set by Miraidon and deal huge damage.
4 You can replace Urshifu-Water with Urshifu-Dark for a much better match up into Rillaboom.
5 I would recommend dropping the Flutter Mane for Farigiraf, so you can have defence against priority attacks.

The team should looks something like this after all the changes. Happy to help ^-^

thank you for the help, sadly miraidon is hard for me to get hands on since im on Scarlet, Iron Hands might be easier since someone can just catch it for me.

I don't like to gen pokemon in to the game either.. :/
 
Hi Maxadkille! As Politoad With An A said, this is the Doubles OU forum, which is a different format from VGC (which as you are playing on cartridge will definitely be the format you're looking for), if you would like to ask about team help I would recommend the VGC room on PS or the Smogon VGC Discord. Also, as a forum rule in general, you usually need permission from a forum mod first before posting a new thread like this, with the exception of the Rate My Team forum, where you could post your team (once more developed with a complete teamsheet) there as a different avenue for help. Good luck with your team!
