water freezer(the rain team)

[Latisiblings]

Hello everyone, you probably don't know me and my username is OBVIOUSLY Latisiblings. This is my rain team. comment plz.

Metalthingy (Crobat) (M) @ Damp Rock
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 HP/40 Def/216 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Hypnosis
- Roost
- Rain Dance
- U-turn
---My Rain Set-upper. Hypnosis, RD, then U-turn. The worst scenario would be meeting a Choice-Scarf user or having Hypnosis miss.

DB-Dra (Kingdra) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Atk/202 Spd/56 SAtk
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Waterfall
- Hydro Pump
- Dragon Dance
---My main Physical Sweeper, it's pretty self-explanatory. Hydro Pump is for the Physical wall suckers who switches in.

Pinkdancer (Ludicolo) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 204 HP/104 Spd/76 SAtk/124 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Grass Knot
- Ice Beam
- Rain Dance
- Surf
---Another Rain Dancer, I was doing the Surf/Leech Seed/Rain Dance/Protect set but someone recommended this set. It can work as a Revenge Killer, having Swift Swim;but he's mostly for the secondary Rain Dance I need badly.

YeloKabu (Kabutops) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 230 HP/252 Atk/28 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rock Slide
- X-Scissor
- Waterfall
- Brick Break
---He's my Revenge Killer, He's faster than practically anything while under the weather and he also has good attack and move-pool, killing anything.

Floatsac (Floatzel) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 178 HP/80 Atk/252 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Baton Pass
- Taunt
- Waterfall
- Bulk Up
---I kinda want to replace him, he doesn't do too much of anything. He helps to make Electivire sweep though, and that's a good thing.

Orangesub (Electivire) (M) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 76 Atk/180 Spd/252 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Cross Chop
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunder
---He's the star of the show. He absorbs all the electric moves that I have weakness to, then sweeps with skill. A bit like a late game sweeper.

Best scenario:
I sleep their lead, set an RD, U-turn.
Kingdra sets DD, Sweeps half of the team with Outrage, gets killed, and then Kabutops comes in and Revenge-Kills.
Ludicolo comes in, sets RD up, goes back, Floatzel sets Bulk Up, BP's to Electivire who absorbs T-wave or T-bolt. Electivire kills the team.

I don't want to write about the worst scenario, it's too horrible.

Synergy:

Crobat-Support w/ sleep& RD
Kingdra-Speed boost from rain, DD and two moves.
Ludicolo-Rain, Revenge Kill under the rain.
Kabutops-Revenge Kill under the weather.
Floatzel-BP to Kingdra, Kabutops or Electivire. Very fast under rain.
Electivire-Absorbs Electricity, murders when set up properly.

Pros: Sweeps quickly

Cons: Gets killed quickly without rain

Comment please

Ow, the Yellow text hurts my eyes to read! As far as suggestions go, I don't see Crobat coming back much later to set up Rain again, so I'd put Taunt over Roost, up to you though. As far as replacing Floatzel, since Crobat isn't likely to come back later game I'd replace him with a Bronzong set such as one:

Bronzong@Damp Rock
Ability: Levitate
252 HP, 128 Attack, 128 Defense
Impish nature (+Defense, -Special Attack)
-Rain Dance
-Explosion
-Stealth Rock
-Hypnosis/Gyro Ball

This set is great for a Rain Dance team, as he is very bulky, after Rain and Levitate his only weakness is Fire which is already weakened by 50%. Heatran will weep as he switches in.

I hope I helped! And again, the font colors have to go =(

Edit: If you decide to use this set then I'd probably make Ludicolo more of a Special Sweeper set, but that is up to you, better safe (with 3 Rain Dancers) than sorry!

You need to put more thought into this team. Simply stating each pokemon's role and restating its moves is not enough. Please review the RMT rules, specifically:

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you're having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

If you fix this up then PM me and I will unlock the thread.
