    You are missing EVs and Natures, which are essential. We can't rate your team without these two VERY IMPORTANT pieces of information.

    Also, your team isn't even that good in the first place. A Rain Dance team needs very specific things in order to succeed.
    Read THIS ARTICLE to learn how to build a good Rain Dance team.

    This section is especially important. It's basically a check list and you should use it to see if you have each thing on the list for your team.

    Rain Lead
    Gets the rain going at the start of the battle, then allows you to get your sweepers out as soon as possible by means of Explosion, U-turn, Memento, etc. They try to take out common opposing leads if possible, and some leads can even set up the all-important Stealth Rock to help your sweepers. Most hold the item Damp Rock to extend the length of the initial downpour.

    Swift Swim Sweepers
    Pretty self-explanatory. These Pokémon abuse their Speed doubling abilities in the rain to lay waste to the opposing team. They can hit with both physical and special based Water-type attacks, and many of them can be powerful mixed wall breakers as well.

    Dedicated Rain Dancer / Bulky Rain Dancing Sweeper
    Since the rain only lasts for a maximum of eight turns, you will need to replenish the rain sometime in the battle as it is very difficult to sweep a team in only eight turns. Therefore, Rain Dance teams carry a Pokémon whose primary objective is to set up Rain Dance. Once this is done, they can go on to set up further support such as Stealth Rock, Reflect, and Light Screen, or they can use their own rain to stage a sweep. Usually these Pokémon also carry Damp Rock to have the rain last as long as possible.

    Supporting Pokémon
    There are a few problem Pokémon that give almost all Rain Dance teams trouble. As such, many Rain Dance teams carry Pokémon that are adept at dealing with these threats to then give the sweepers a much easier time plowing through teams.

    The article also lists good Pokemon to use in a Rain Dance team and even gives you an example team that you can use.
