If you haven't guessed this is a Rain Dance team. Jolteon kicks things off and is guraneed to set up Rain Dance because of it's sash. For the last few seconds that it's alive it can use 100% accurate Thunderbolt. All of the other Pokemon just have fun in the Rain with a few setting up more rain if the need arises. Abomasnow is there for the very end of the game when no one is left. From there he can clean up what's left, though I had trouble choosing between this Choice Scarf set and the Leech Seed set.

So either way please help to improve this team and please be nice!

Looks at the other RMT's, so many have been locked recently..

If you're using a Rain team why not use Politoed who gets Drizzle instead of Abomasnow, who summons perm Hail. You can remove Kabutops and use something which can abuse the rain another way.

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Take a look at the RMT archive to see what kind of descriptions we are looking for. PM me the fixed descriptions and I'll unlock this thread.
