Since its a rain team you have your basic Politoed first

Politoed (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Grass]
I know most people use a politoed with toxic and all that, but i like to start with power, think how many pokemon you can possibly take out just with politoed, i tried it out and most of the time i take out 2 with politoed alone. Drizzle boosts hydro pump which can help with starting an early advantage by defeating opponents pokemon. Hidden power [grass] is for coverage, focus blast can help when an opponent uses ferrothorn and against steel or other pokemon weak to fighting attacks.


Next is Blastoise, i found a way to use blastoise in a way to make it work just because its my favorite pokemon


Blastoise (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Water Spout
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Scald

Water spout become very powerful thanks to not only STAB but extra attack points from the Rain. Blastoise is not used very much but it makes a great teamate in a rain team. Water spout is for sweeping your opponent since very few pokemon survive a full power choice scarf, stab move, rain boosted water spout. Focus blast is for coverage against ferrothorns which hurt more against a rain team like this because of it is a grass type and uses a popular move for it which is Power Whip. Hidden power [electric] is for coverage against flying types and just a useful move against pokemon.

3rd Pokemon is Dugtrio, Super fast enough said

Dugtrio (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Arena Trap
EVs: 252 Atk / 32 Def / 224 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Sucker Punch
- Shadow Claw

It is usually the fastest out of the two teams battling. not only is it fast but pokemon cant switch out due to arena trap, so its strong attack moves are being used over and over with the pokemon unable to switch out. Earthquake is in case someone sends out someone like metagross or sharpedo to try to take dugtrio out. Stone edge takes care of some rock types and flying types. Sucker punch helps when u are just using it as a revenge killer, especially works against pokemon like alakazam.

Next is Toxicroak

Toxicroak (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 244 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bulk Up
- Substitute
- Drain Punch
- Sucker Punch

Now here is a great pokemon in a rain team, constantly being healed by dry skin, substitute then bulk up then drain punch combo, if you get hit in substitute after using bulk up 1 drain punch and u just keep getting more and more hp back. Not only is it good in attack power from its evs but with substitute it can gain more power for its drain punch, which helps it heal and deal a lot of damage, sucker punch is great when people send in pokemon to beat it easily such as alakazam and other psychic type pokemon.

A pokemon to counter people thinking they will just said grass types or electric types on me would be Zapdos

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 236 SDef / 24 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Thunder
- Roost
- Heat Wave
- Hidden Power [Flying]

Zapdos works amazing in a rain battle when half ur team are water types. send in to grass types and use hidden power or heat wave, also helps against people sending pokemon like Jolteon. Thunder takes care of all flying types and does good against fire types that shouldnt be out against this team in the first place, roost helps so u dont just use the moves and zapdos is killed but u can beat more than 1 pokemon and keep healing thanks to roost. Heat wave is a great thing to use when against grass types people send out to beat the 3 of the water types on this team. Hidden power flying helps against grass pokemon also not to mention pokemon like heracross who have very high attacks.

Last but not least is Ludicolo

Ludicolo (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Hardy Nature
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Scald
- Leech Seed

Subseed ludicolo helps a ton during rain battles, while healing from rain dish, you use substitute and leech seed getting u more hp per turn, then u just toxic which increases per turn and finally scald for another chance of haxing your opponent. first it is very bulky so easier to set up leech seed and substitute, scald helps a lot in power from the rain and just the chance of burning the opponent. Its good to have toxic in the moveset because while your opponent worries about trying to get the sub away the poison is eating its hp away doing more and more damage as the battle continues.

That is my team so please Rate My Team and i will deeply think about all your comments to fix it, thank you. sorry about the whole problem with plagiarism
 
God man, half your descriptions are lifted straight from their analysis on site.

example, your post on Choice Specs Politoed:

I know most people use a politoed with toxic and all that, but i like to start with power, think how many pokemon you can possibly take out just with politoed, i tried it out and most of the time i take out 2 with politoed alone. While Politoed admittedly lacks the traits of traditional Choice Specs users, most notably high Special Attack and Speed stats, Drizzle makes it a potent threat. Factoring in rain's boost to Water-type attacks, Politoed's double-STAB Hydro Pump is the golden arrow of OU, powering through many Pokemon that resist it. Unlike other Choice Specs users, Politoed can be played like a tank, should you not require it to be healthy in order to restore rain. Its pure-Water typing gives it few weaknesses, and with good bulk, it can sponge even some super effective attacks.

The Water-type attack chosen is Politoed's main weapon; all other attacks are just coverage for use based on circumstance. Ice Beam allows Politoed to check opposing Dragon- and Grass-type foes, who resist Politoed's Water-type moves, while Focus Blast is useful for smashing Ferrothorn and Empoleon. The last slot is dedicated to Hidden Power Grass to cover Water Absorb Jellicent, Rotom-W, Storm Drain Gastrodon, and the rare Water Absorb Quagsire. Keep in mind when using Politoed that a neutral Hydro Pump will deal more damage than 2x super effective coverage moves.

You added two scentences at the start. That's blatant plagarism =/ and the descriptions of half your other Pokemon are straight copy-pastes too. Your Dugtrio, Toxicroak, Zapdos and Ludicolo descriptions all follow the same formula; take the description from the site and then tack one or two sentences on the front to disguise it.

I won't be giving you a rate because of the blatant plagiarism in this post. It's your first post so I won't judge too harshly, but take note that we don't appreciate plagiarism in this community.
 
You know plagarism is illegal, right? Look, I understand it's your first post, and you want it to look good, but we don't welcome plagiarism in our community according to the rules.

Edit your descriptions, to what YOU think, and we'll rate it. Don't be discouraged, just learn from your mistake and move on. :)
 
i didnt mean to plagarize its hard to think up descriptions and i know it was copied i didnt make it, i gave credit, can you rate my team instead of worry about plagiarism please

and the last time i did this the descriptions apparently werent long enough so it got shut down

Ok, I'll rate your team, but at least do 2-3 sentences for each Pokemon in your own words. Lol, I'll rate your team tomorrow, just because I don't have time right now.

EDIT: Even if you give credit, don't plagiarize. It'll soon become a habit if you're not careful. Get used to writing in your own words, please. XD
 
I dont need a lecture on plagiarism i understand and sorry but dont need the lecture thank you. i just want to know what everyone thinks of the team
 
I prefer a bulkier build for Blastoise, but what you have can work. It seems a little too offensive, as nothing in your team can take a lot of punishment. The Toxicroak is going to be the star of your team, just try to eliminate it's counters first, such as Gliscor, Skarmory, and even Hippowdon. It also appears you have no pokemon to set up hazards, which can hurt your team. Just my two cents.
 
Ive been wondering who would be better to replace tho because blastoise always works for me offensively, zapdos im willing to switch though because it doesnt seem to last long in battles, thanks for the input
