My rainin hut will kick butt (generation 5)

I dont really abuse rain as much as most rain dance teams but this team unlike most can handle sandstorm teams with ease. I win about 75 percent of the battles i do on pokemon Online (like shoddy only it has dream world abilities) i just want to see if there are any quirks that i couldn't find to help boost my win percent to like 80 or 90 percent. Here it is



At a Glance:

In Depth:

Politoed
Ability:Drizzle
Item:Leftovers
Nature:Calm
EVs: 252 hp, 252 Sdef, 4 spa
MOVESET:
Boil Over
Ice Beam
Protect
Perish Song


This guy is awesome as a lead. He can usually take 3 thunderbolts before fainting plus if he is in troublke he can perish song then protect. He has ice beam in case they switch in a flying or dragon type.

Rotom
Ability:Levitate
Nature:Timid
EVs:252 hp, 252 Spe, 4 Spa
Item:Leftovers
MOVESET:
Hydro Pump
Thunder
Endure
Pain Split




Hydro pump and Thunder are awesome but hydro pump has some more power then Thunder but Thunder has 100 percent accuracy with the rain. If he gets in trouble and is faster then opponent he uses endure then pain split if not then he can just use pain split for a small recovery/damage session

Borutorosu
Ability:Competetive Spirit
Nature:Timid
EVs: 252 Spa, 252 Spe, 4 hp
Item:Leftovers
MOVESET:
Focus Blast
Thunder
Hidden Power (ice)
Grass Knot





pretty simple just a strong special sweeper. Focus blast is for rock and steel types thunder is for a nice stab electric type move and if they try to switch a swampert in on thunder i grass knot its butt. There also is Hidden Power for dragons.





Medicham
Ability:Pure Power
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Att, 252 Hp, 47 Def
Item Choice Band
MOVESET:
Bullet Punch
Vacumn Wave
Ice Punch
Fire Punch



Most of you probably look at this and just think im an idiot for putting a medicham in overused. However, i was going to put either him or azumarill in and he had higher stats and more options. With the Evs and nature and ability and choice band all combined he has a base att stat of about 730 (it showed mine and i think it said 729) anyways you take that base attack and if you dont want to get hit you have two options (azumarill only had Aqua Jet) you can vacumn wave or you can bullet punch. Having two options and higher attack and always going first if you want i think is going to be just fine in Overused.








Garchomp
Ability:Sand veil
Nature:Jolly
EVs:252 Att, 252 Spe, 4 hp
Item:Haban Berry
MOVESET:
Earthquake
Stoneedge
Aqua Tail
Dragon Claw




First off most poeple will say HABAN BRERY?????well i ran a haban berry instead of a yache berry (whatever its called) because i personally see a lot more dragon types then ice types in my fellow competetors teams. I ran aqua tail for a 1.5 boost from rain dance. He also switchs in on any sandstorm team and blasts them with aqua tail/earthquake because they interupted my awesome rain. His ability sandveil boosts evasion in the sand so he is a good guy to switch into a sandstorm team and can take things like hippowdon out in a flash. Also i know people say he is Uber but it is among debate because some pokemon can ohko him with ice types so it is sort of debateable.






Nattorei
Abiltiy:Iron Barbs
Nature:Sassy
EVs:248 hp, 128 Def, 132 Sdef
Item:Occa Berry
MOVESET:
Power whip
Gyro Ball
Stealth Rocks
Level Field



This is probably the pokemon that would cause most arguments due to the fact that he doesn't have leftovers, or leech seed, or ingrain and i changed it because of one simple reason Fire types. I changed to an occa berry so fire types no longer ohko it. Also for things like blaziken and especially HEATRAN i gave him level field. I actually beat a heatran in battle with this thing and it had full health it took 3 hits to ko the heatran.
The heatrans first fire attack missed the second one hit but didnt knock me o because of occa berry and the third one missed. Call it lucky but before level field in the moveset he couldn't even beat the heatran with luck now he can atleast do some damage before gettin killed by it.




That is my team and tell me what ya think thanks
 
Nice team but I have some problems with it. On Nattorei, why would you have Occa Berry on it? You're playing in rain! Rain halves the damage. Change the item to either Leftovers for added recovery or for Rugged Helmut for more indirect damge for physical attackers on Nattorei. Also Endure is a big no no on any pokemon. Change it to will-o-wisp on Rotom-w. On Politeod nobody is going to stay in after a Perish song so change it to Encore (To encore Stealth rocks or statuppers) or Toxic. On Borotuso change Focus Blast cause it just sucks. Change it to either Nasty Plot or HP fighting.
I also really don't like your medicham. I mean a special atk on an all out physical sweeper? Fire Punch on a rain tea. A big no-no. Vhange it to an Azumarril who is an excellent revenge killer and can take advantage of the rain.
Here's the set:

Azumarrill@Choice Band
Adamant evs: 252hp/252atk/4speed
Huge Power
-Aqua Jet
-Waterfall
-Ice Punch
-Superpower/ Return

Aquajet revenges many threats like Blaziken Exadrill Chanderlure and the last few moves are for coverage.
 
ok first off for the occa berry i gave him that because now he can actually beat fire types and it makes it so his only weakness is fire because it only does half damage from rain and half damage from occa berry that means he has like 11 resistances and only 1 weakness. Thats why i have an occa berry. Nothing wrong with preventing more damage. as for endure ya i haven't really used it at all but i don't really use will o wisp either (i previously had will o wisp on him) so do you have another suggestion for a move on rotom. As for politoed and perish song. I completely find it useful for these reasons
1. you would be shocked at how many people online don't pay attention to the actual moves they just look at how much damage they take and their pokemon dies from them not looking.

2. Baton pass teams do not affect my team because once they start i just have to do perish song and they have to switch or they faint.

that is why because it covers one of the major team themes and it gets some knockouts occasionally.


As for medichame 1 the move was my fault i thought it was physical my bad. Also he is not really working out but i had azumarill and if i didn't use aqua jet he always died before he could move unless they swords danced or something so any suggestions on that? Also if you do not have suggestions for azumarill then could you suggest a good replacement? moveset evs etc.

As for Focus Blast i am not going to change it unless you have another suggestion because if you did not notice he has hidden power ice already
 
Took out medicham and here is the replacement




Vaporeon@Leftovers 252 Spa, 212Def, 40 Spe
Ability:Hydration
Nature:Modest

MOVESET:
Rest
Surf
Ice Beam
Hidden Power(electric)




basically he just sweeps if he ever gets low on hp he uses rest and thanks to hydration he does not go to sleep he just heals hp
