Golduck messes up Rain Dance teams pretty good. Here's a defensive-ish Light Screen set if you're interested (since none of the swift swimmers are at all fast without rain, it doesn't need speed): Golduck @Leftovers Bold (I picked bold in order to survive hits from Kabutops better) Cloud Nine...

Consider Superpower for Luxray. Quick Attack has it's uses, I suppose, but Superpower lets you hit a lot of pokemon a lot harder.

I would suggest dropping Probopass. Steelix really isn't that hard to get rid of; special attacks really put the hurt on him. In fact, I should think that Claydol could take care of him with Earth Power. Now, what to replace him with... I should think Drapion would do well as your physical...

Hmmm well considering it's a restalker, Explosion is out of the picture. Considering you have no SpA investment and 71 base SpA, Flamethrower and Ice Beam are probably poor choices. Poison Jab is a good option due to STAB, but doesn't help you against incoming Poisons (though it'll hit...

This is a great well-balanced team, Britney. Nothing jumped out at me right away when I saw it, so I waited for others to comment first :P You definitely need Close Combat for those annoying Clefable (my new most hated UU pokemon, especially the stupid Cosmic Power/Softboiled/Seismic Toss...

I see no counter to Gyarados, period. One DD and EQ/Waterfall/Ice Fang destroys your team. Haven't you run into this on Shoddy?

Changes in bold; comments below. There's really only 1 pokemon that Night Slash hits for more damage than Earthquake, and that's Rotom. If you REALLY need to beat Rotom (which you shouldn't be trying to do with Sandslash anyway, then I suppose you could keep it, but Stone Edge gives Sandslash...

Yes, Banette and Drifblim are used quite often as leads. However, I'm not sure if I like Scyther leading. What are you going to do against Aero or Persian, 2 of the most common UU leads? I know he suffers from the 4 moveslot syndrome, but it seems to me that lead Scyther should have U Turn...

I'll start off by nominating Masquerain :)

Just so you know, Brightpowder is considered a hax item, and you probably will have a hard time finding battles if you're going to use it.

I'm gonna reiterate the hate for Blissey. Seriously, why would this pokemon be made? Chansey was already just fine, why make it evolve into an even better pokemon that is undisputably THE BEST special wall in the game, so much so that hardly any other special walls are used (until lately, I...

Changes in bold; comments underneath The rule for tanks and walls is max HP first, as HP helps you against both physical and special attacks and increases effectiveness of Leftovers. Go with Relaxed; you need to be able to wall defensively rather than trying to be a dual wall; that's too much...

Tropius (Grass/Flying) Any Bug/Flying like Butterfree, Beautifly, etc. The Nidos (Poison/Ground) Zapdos (Flying/Electric) Articuno (Flying/Ice) Mamoswine (Ice/Ground) Any of the Grass/Poisons Lucario (Steel/Fighting) Heatran (Steel/Fire) Aerodactyl (Rock/Flying) and more There's lots...

QFT. Sunny Day ruins Rain Dancers, especially because most Gorebyss/Kabutops/Omastar don't run Rain Dance on themselves, but rather depend on their Electrode to set it up. So once you remove the Electrode, if you get Sunny Day set up they're screwed.

Would Lanturn be a good counter to Gorebyss as well? How does Sharpedo fare against Gorebyss? As for replacing a member, the only one I see that doesn't fill a necessary role is Jynx, though replacing her with something like Scarf Electrode, Mantine, or Lanturn would kind of hurt your...
