Metal Gear RAYn Dance

I had to reply due to the MGS theme... Anyway I run a rain dance team and would also suggest waterfall on Kingdra. It's a 2HKO which I know you have Gyarados and Dugtrio who 2HKO but mainly I'm thinking Thunder Wave Blissey. If Blissey switches in on Kingdra and chooses to TWave you're in trouble. Paralyzing cancels out the Swift Swim boost Kingdra gets in the rain and Gyarados' speed boost from Dragon Dance. Dugtrio can switch in on the TWave but can't OHKO when Blissey can with Ice Beam. Of course you'd have to catch Blissey on the switch to take her out before TWave anyways. You might want to consider dropping Rain Dance for Waterfall. Without Damp Rock the Rain willl be short. You will probably be outsped the turn Kingdra would use it so you'd take a big dent and with Life Orb already hurting it might be hard to get in. Of course one Rain Dancer on a Rain team isn't good, the problem is I don't know where you can fit in another so you might just want to leave it as is. I know you already shot down the mixed set but I figured I'd point out the Thunder Wave thing.

One more small thing, use Thunderbolt on Zapdos over Thunder. You don't really want Zapdos using up the precious turns of rain when every member of your team gets better use out of it except Dugtrio.
 
Bronzong might be a good addition if you were to tweak your kingdra towards a more offensive mixed life orb set, the kind that can 2hko blissey with waterfall. Stealth rock -> reflect -> rain dance -> explosion is always a nice way to run things. However it would be awkward to have both jirachi and zong together.

I might recommend trying the 4 offensive move kingdra set, let another poke set it up and take CB gyara for a spin. CB waterfalls in the rain take a significant chunk out of most of gyara's counters who in most cases happen to kinda wall kingdra at the same time. Anyway, just something to think about.

Also, some kind of kabutops might be fun. Aqua jet + stone edge + x-scissor destroys.
