New to Competitive Battling - Rate My OU Rain Dance Team

[Zekkou Shou]

Team at a glance:

Jolteon (M) @ Damp Rock
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunder
- Rain Dance
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave

My lead, usually gets the job done and sets up Rain Dance, and survives to dance another day. I was tossing up between Thunder Wave/Baton Pass/HP Ice for the last slot, though - been having trouble with ground switch ins. Also provides a useful Electric resist, though no one on the team is weak to Electric.

Kingdra (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 168 Atk/88 Spd/252 SAtk
Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Waterfall
- Ice Beam

Main sweeper. This thing is so beast in the rain ^^

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/56 Def/200 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Rain Dance
- Gyro Ball
- Hypnosis
- Stealth Rock

Second dancer on the team. Pretty standard set.

Ludicolo (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 204 HP/104 Spd/80 SAtk/120 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Rain Dance
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Grass Knot

Third and last Rain Dancer. I wanted to put Leech Seed somewhere on there but I don't want to give up my coverage, and Toxic has been pretty helpful in the past =/

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 240 HP/252 Def/16 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- U-turn
- Thunder
- Reflect

Team supporter. I love this little guy - Reflect does wonders in getting the others in safely, and Wish Support has proved invaluable.

Toxicroak (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 HP/122 Atk/136 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Sucker Punch
- Stone Edge
- Substitute
- Cross Chop

Primary physical offense. I was thinking of putting Swords Dance over Stone Edge. Also my only priority user =/

I have lots of problems with stat-uppers, especially SD Chomp, and I guess Chomp in general ^^;; The best I can do is sleep it with Bronzong. Any help would be much appreciated.

Jolteon setting up Rain Dance as a lead is a big no-no. Jolteon has better things to be doing.

 

[Vicious]

As pointed out before i'd rather have electivire instead of Jolteon, but I don't really encourage it. Ludi is heavy weight and i'd replace with mixpert for phazing as well as considerably replacing toxi-phail with floatzel.

 

[PazzaK]

it all looks pretty good. A few things that i would change:
swap sucker punch for bullet punch. i have a toxicroak, and his speed isnt bad, but not great, and you keep the first hit factor with bullet punch. sucker punch is a big gamble, and if you dont get to attack, the enemy get a free DD or SD etc.
in my opinion, Substitute on jolteon without batton pass is a little wasted. His HP isnt bad, but i'd just go for another special. i would go with shadow ball, but thats just me.
also im a little confused about kingdra. why give it Naughty nature, when youve invested most of your EV's in Special attack, and you only have one physical move?

Please improve the descriptions on your Pokemon, namely Kingdra and Bronzong, as those individual descriptions are too short. So, increase the ammount by adding more detail explaning their strategies, and the like.

 

[M4GNITUDE]

As pointed out above, I don't like Jolteon as a rain dancer. It's too fragile, in my opinion. You could change it for an Electivre and fit in a Hydration RestDewgong Rain Dancer as a lead.

I would replace Zong or Colo for the Dewgong.

To be perfectly honest I don't see anything wrong with a fragile Rain Dance lead like Jolteon. I do it in Underused and Little Cup all the time with Electrode and Voltorb. I think that you'd be better off putting Focus Sash on Jolteon. That way he will be able to use a Stab Thunder to do some heavy damage right after Rain Dancing or be able to switch out and hopefully use Rain Dance another time. Also, if you go with Focus Sash, I'd use Shadow Ball and Hidden Power Ice over Thunder Wave and Substitute. Also being how bulky Bronzong is, Damp Rock is a very worthy consideration on him over Leftovers.
