Rain Dance RMT

Jirachi@Leftovers - 6 HP / 252 Speed / 252 Special Attack
Serene Grace
Modest

- U-Turn
- Toxic
- Rain Dance
- Thunder

JIrachi is my lead, and a good one at that. In fact, almost every lead it faces gets hit with thunders 60% paralysis chance. U-Turn helps with grass and psychic leads somewhat, and is favorable to switching. Toxic is for Shedinja.

Gyarados@WacanBerry - 72 HP / 252 Attack / 186 Speed
Intimidate
Adamant

- Dragon Dance
- Aqua Tail
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang

Gyarados is my physical sweeper. With one or two Dragon Dances, gyara pretty much finishes up half of their team. Almost half of its attacks are super effective, and wacan berry is for thunderbolt survival.

Kingdra@LumBerry - 6 HP / 252 Speed / 252 Special Attack
Swift Swim
Modest

- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Waterfall
- Draco Meteor

Kingdra is extremely fast in the rain do to his swift swim, so most of his attacks are super effective. Waterfall prevents Blissey from completely walling this set, but it only takes away maybe 40% of Blisseys HP. STAB Draco Meteor is almost unstoppable, but it comes at the price of a harsh lowering of Special Attck. Hydro Pump was an option, but i missed at crucila moments too many a time. For some reason, this Kingdra just keeps getting, well, walled, and i need your help on that.

Ludicolo@DampRock - 252 HP / 252 Special Attack / 6 Speed
Swift Swim
Modest

- Grass Knot
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Rain Dance

Ludicolo is my second dancer, and the handler of all water types that oppose my team. The rest is just pretty much filler and coverage. Ludicolo's Damp Rock is valuable to do how fast 5 turns go by.

Electrivire@Magnet - 252 Speed / 252 Attack / 6 Speed
Motor Drive
Adamant

- Rain Dance
- Earthquake
- Thunder Punch
- Cross Chop

My final Dancer. This set provides pretty good coverage. For some reason, im not happy with this set. One problem is with misses - When i need Vire most, he misses.

Kabutops@LifeOrb - 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP
Swift Swim
Adamant

- Swords Dance
- Stone Edge
- Waterfall
- X - scissor

This is my weakness. I just dont like this Kabutops. the problem is it gets knocked out in one hit, so swords dance doesnt get a chance to be effective. Swift swim makes it fast however.


Please RMT and PLEASE suggest some places to fix, and even some NEW pokes would help.
 
I don't see why you're so worried about Shedinja, and even then, it's probably better if you used Stealth Rock. You're done with Shedinja, and you help fuck up things like Gyarados who could abuse your Rain and even stop Focus Sashers. I'd also probably go a more defensive route, maybe let it last to repeatedly use Wish or something. I'd like something along the lines of:

252 HP / 170 Def / 32 Spd / 56 SpDef @ Damp Rock - Bold
Wish
Stealth Rock
Rain Dance
U-Turn

Just do your whole set up, have a long lasting Rain, and survive a lot of shit and help out the entire team.

As for the team in general, I wouldn't make the rest of everyone a water type. Something you can try is like add in Weezing. Weezing can prevent the annoying Heracross, Lucario from doing too much and helps out with Garchomp. It can also Rain Dance if you want! You could a set like Rain Dance / Thunder / Pain Split / Hidden Power Ice. I'd probably put this over Ludicolo.

So with a foundation of Jirachi and Weezing, you're helped by the defensive foundation. As for the sweepers, Gyarados seems to be a keeper, and certainly Kingdra as well as Kabutops. I'd rather slap Life Orb on the latter two though. This maximizes the power given.

For the last Pokemon, I'd probably try something like a Celebi. Celebi can just do any of the support things you want it to do. If the lack of Lum now annoys you, why not just sweep whatever you can, take the status, just Heal Bell it off. Or if you feel the team is starting to get frail, slap a Reflect in there. Hell, even Rain Dance if you must. Don't forget Leech Seed in case any Blissey tries to be funny and stall or something.
