I love this guy in the rain he walls like a pro almost nothing OHKO's him without being powered and even if he takes a status condition or a big chunk of helth or both he can make it go away with one move which in my book is pretty awesome.

Ev's 168 atk/252 SpA/88 spe

Pressure
Ev's 252 hp/220 def/36 spe

-Light Screen

Pokemon i thought about putting in.

Meganium

Because she might could be a better wall then Ludi and she has Aromatherapy and she's not weak to Electric Or Grass.

Starmie

Because she learns Thunder and water atk's and is good special sweeper
 
252 HP / 152 Atk / 8 Def / 96 SpD
@ damp rock
-hypnosis
-rain dance

and pick two out of gyroball \ earthquake\stealth rock\ explosion\ rest \ sleeptalk

I use gyroball and explosion personally, the nice thing about Bronzong on RD teams is it negates his fire weakness meaning that he essentially takes neutral damage from everything.

Electivire wants a lonely nature and possibly more speed, try 252 Atk / 80 SpA / 176 Spe from the analysis.

Also, could you change your font colors, electivire's and dewgong's hurt my eyes and are almost impossible to read without highligting.
 
thanks alot and i will change the colors to somthing more readable also wouldnt he take double from water since water s powered? and should i lead with zong?
 
First off I think that Jirachi would fit this team better. Use Rain dance/wish/Reflect/U-turn and it gives you more support than the bronzong would have.

Ludicolo is more of a special defensive pokemon really. Use a Calm nature and 204 HP / 76 SpA / 124 SpD / 104 Spe Evs with swift swim instead. The doubled speed helps way more than alittle extra health each turn. A little bit of special attack to hurt dragons and gyarados and such.

Give Kingdra Life orb.

You don't really have alot of electric weaks anyways for Electivire to exploit. i would replace him and add Swampert instead. You really need some sort of Tyranitar counter since it messes up your rain.

Instead of Dewgong I would use a starmie to counter Infernape, Gyarados and you might need a rapid spinner.

Sorry for replacing so mich of your team but now you need a fighting counter >_>, I would put in Zapdos, Gliscor or something instead of Kabutops.

ok first of all sorry to say i dont use legends even if there not uber another thing i want to keep ludi as a defensive wall or sweeper or replace him because im not replacing dewgong and i will change Kingdra and i will replace vire and without taking out dewgong how should i beat my fighting weakness and should i take out Ludi for Zapdos/Gliscor?

Thanks for all your help

Yeah you can take out Ludicolo for Gliscor then (Zapdos would be better though >_>). Just use a defensive set. I suppose you can keep Dewgong if you really want to but Dewgong isn't very good... If you want to play with favorites and no legends then that is what I can do to help.
