Rain Dance UU Team

OMG! It's raining in UU!

Phione @ Damp Rock
Modest / Hydration
252 HP / 6 Def / 252 SpA
~ Rain Dance
~ Surf
~ Rest
~ Ice Beam
Lead and status absorber, with the unbeatable combination of Rain Dance, Rest, and Hydration. Surf deals massive damage in the rain, and Ice Beam covers those Grass types who just laugh at Phione's Surfs.

Toxicroak @ Leftovers
Jolly / Dry Skin
252 Atk / 212 Spe / 44 HP
~ Swords Dance
~ Substitute
~ Sucker Punch
~ Focus Punch
SubPunching Toxicroak is a total beast. Leftovers and Dry Skin Recovery almost make up for Substitute's damage. Swords Dance behind a Substitute, then Focus Punch everything to death. Sucker Punch is for speedy foes, specifically Mismagius. Thanks to Tochukaso for this set.

Raichu @ Choice Specs
Timid / Static
6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Thunder
~ Focus Blast
~ Grass Knot
~ Hidden Power Ice
Specs Mouse is awesome. Thunder's 100% accuracy in the rain is unmatchable, and Focus Blast hits Normal, Rock, and Steel Types hard. It really stinks that Surf Raichus are Hardy. Grass Knot deals damage to the likes of Gastrodon who resists Thunder, Hidden Power Ice is good for coverage.

Hypno @ Leftovers
Calm / Insomnia
252 HP / 56 Def / 200 SpD
~ Psychic
~ Wish
~ Hypnosis
~ Rain Dance
The Blissey of UU. Provides Wish support to my sweepers, or anybody else who needs it, Psychic gets STAB, Hypnosis to sleep a potential threat to my team, and can set up Rain Dance if I lose Phione.

Shuckle @ Leftovers
Relaxed / Sturdy
252 HP / 96 Def / 160 SDef
~ Stealth Rock
~ Toxic
~ Encore
~ Knock Off
I like Shuckles. My beastly Physical Wall, he shrugs off any Physical attack. Sets up the Rocks, and Encores any Pokemon using Stealth Rocks or the like, or setting up. Knock Off ruins Choice users. Toxic breaks walls quite well.

Huntail @ Life Orb
Naive / Swift Swim
252 Atk / 180 Spd / 76 SAtk
~ Waterfall
~ Crunch
~ Ice Beam
~ Body Slam
My wall breaker a mixed sweeper. Waterfall for STAB, which does a considerable amount of damage with STAB, and Rain Dance boost. Crunch hits Hypno and the like, Ice Beam for Altaria and Grass types, and Body Slam is a reliable method of damage, with the Paralysis rate.

Of all things wet, please rate this team!

Minor nitpickings, not any actual help, sorry. xD As a Wish Hypno user myself, I'm sorry to say Wish Hypno is banned on Shoddy, if you plan to use this team there. Also, iirc, Surf Raichu cannot be any nature other than Hardy. You speak of Gyro Ball on Shuckle when Gyro Ball isn't on Shuckle's set. ;]
Otherwise, I have no major critiques or changes. Good luck!
