Let´s Rain [VGC 12]

Hello, can you rate my Team for the VGC 12? Here is it:



Kappalores (Ludicolo) (M) @ Grass Gem
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Giga Drain
- Fake Out
- Protect
- Hydro Pump

It´s very fast in the rain and it should annoy the rival with a Fake Out, so my scarfed Politoed isn´t hurt so much. Gigadrain is for Gastrodon and Swampert and the jewel raised the Power so I regenerate more HP can , Hydro Pump for Steels, Grounds, Fires like Infernape. Fake Out is very useful. Protect is standart.

Bronzong @ Sitrus Berry
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Gyro Ball
- Imprison
- Trick Room
- Protect

It should cripple Trickroom-Teams with Imprison and it should cripple Tailwind-Abuser with Trickroom. Gyroball is good if it is taunted. Protect is standart and Sitrus Berry is for regenerate.

Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 148 Def / 108 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Gyro Ball
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Protect

It can stall nice in the rain an Leech Seed gives a good regeneration. Power Whip for Gastrodon and Swampert, Gyroball and Power Whip are powerful STABs and Protect is standart. The Leftovers are for recovering.

Quaxo (Politoed) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Surf
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Psychic
- Ice Beam

It´s my fast weatherchanger. Psychic is for other Toxicroarks and Surf to fill the HP of my Toxicroark. Ice Beam is for Dragons and HP Grass for Gastrodon and Swampert.

Zapdos @ Electric Gem
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunder
- Heat Wave
- Detect
- Hidden Power [Ice]

My favourite EV-Split+ Heat Wave for Ferrothorns (in the rain it has a 2x power against it). HP Ice for Dragons, Thunder+ Electric Gem is powerfull and Detect is standart.

Toxiquak (Toxicroak) (M) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Fake Out
- Drain Punch
- Substitute
- Sucker Punch

Very bulky and it should stay on the field for a long time. Substitute against Leech Seed etc. , Sucker Punch against Psychics, Drai Punch is a STAB and Fake Out du flinch the rival.
 
You shoul had descriptions of what role each pokémon play in your team.
It's impossible to rate it if we don't know what your strategy is, and the tought process that went into teambuilding.
 
You need more detailed descriptions under each Pokemon. Also, this is a VGC team so it goes in the other teams section.
 
Can you give me a rate even if I have not lots of informations? I don´t know what i should add.

No, you need descriptions, because we have no idea what you're trying to do with the set, until you provide proper descriptions, your team can not be properly rated. Also, you can give your team a sub-category which, if this a VGC team, should be VGC instead of saying "VGC 12"
 
Ferrothorn seems kind of redundant with Ludicolo and Bronzong - Grass is generally a poor attacking type outside of bulky waters, so you only really need one Grass attacker in most cases, and as a bulky Steel Bronzong has more utility and arguably better typing.

Opposing Ludicolo will wall most of your team to hell and back - even Zapdos's boosted Thunder fails to KO bulkier versions. Maybe consider Tornadus or Dragonite with Hurricane as another rain abuser, or a strong Bug-type like Scizor.
 
Ok, I´ve added Scizor. Can I use Signal Beam on Zapdos instead of Heatwave?


PS: Does Terrakion works good in this team?
