I need help with some EVs - edits to my current ones maybe and EVs for the 3 I don't have. I'll also change pokemon if someone recommends it but I like this set.

Bronzong@Damp Rock
212 HP / 86 Atk / 80 Def / 92 SpDef / 40 spAtk
Bold Nature
Levitate

Gyro Ball
Stealth Rock
Rain Dance
Charge Beam



I know that Hypnosis would be nice but I need charge beam for Gyras setting me up with taunt. Stealth Rock is for a some extra damage, Rain Dance is obviously for setting up the rain, and Gyro Ball is for getting rid of Gengar and Tyranitar, and other such pokemon.

Toxicroak @ Leftovers
Adamant
Substitute
Focus Punch
Sucker Punch
Rock Slide


The very common Substitute FP strategy, mainly good for getting rid of a Blissey. SP is for psychics and ghosts and Rock Slide is for flying types.

Floatzel@Life Orb
232 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def / 16 Spe.
Adamant Nature
Swift Swim

Crunch
Waterfall
Brick Break
Ice Fang

With Swift Swim and great speed, Floatzel can outspeed tons of pokemon in the rain, and hitting hard to. He covers practically anything I could want, Crunch for ghosts like Gengar and Dusknoir, and other things such as Alakazam. Brick Break is for Tyranitar, Weavile, Heatran, etc.. Waterfall is nice STAB and a good move for Blissey while Ice Fang is for Salamance and other dragons and fliers.

Zapdos @ Damp Rock
Bold Nature
Pressure

Thunder
Rain Dance
Roost
Hidden Power Grass

As you may have noticed, I have a Lucario weakness in my team, Zapdos is for a Lucario counter. Roost is for HP recovery and also incase I sense an Ice Attack or other attack strong against flying coming. Rain Dance is for some support and Thunder is for some hardcore power. HP Grass is for rocks. Zapdos could also recover Lanturn's hp in a double battle with thunder.

Kingdra @ Life Orb
Naughty
Swift Swim

Draco Meteor
Waterfall
Ice Beam
Hydro Pump

Kingdra is a mixed sweeper, waterfall is for another Blissey counter, Ice beam for dragons, Draco Meteor as a last resort STAB amazing atk. Lastly, Hydro Pump takes care of Hippowdon, Tyranitar, and Skarmory.

Lanturn@Leftovers
76 HP / 192 spAtk / 240 SpDef
Modest Nature
Volt Absorb

Signal Beam
Hydro Pump
Ice Beam
Confuse Ray

Ice Beam is for Dragons, Signal Beam for grass types, Hydro Pump for ownage in the rain, and confuse ray for obvious reasons.

I feel like I have to much repetition here. Any thoughts?
 
There should be no excuses for not at least including EVs for every Pokemon because Smogon's articles cover them. If you're not completely sure which EV spread is most suitable for your particular moveset, then feel free to ask; however, include standard EVs until then.

And I urge you to improve the quality of your descriptions. There is little to no insight on the synergy and most notably Lanturn's description is explananing just its moveset. Surely there is more in your locker?

I advise you to read the rules carefully; you may have already, but there are mistakes here and there that need to be cleared up. It's a 10/15 minutes for reading the rules and roughly 10 more to edit the thread itself, and it will benefit you in the long run. Send me a PM when you've complete your revamp.
