...you might want to put drizzle as the trait if you're gonna start raining ;) .

I think choice band is a good item on Kabutops because there's so much rain vs sand going on. If you keep Kabutops alive, it can revenge kill Doryuuzu 99% of the time (iv seen like 2 sub Doryuuzu) with Aqua jet even in sand.

Also lightningrod Zapdos might be good instead of raikou to get free switches and deal with breloom better who is kind of a problem:

Zapdos @ leftovers
248hp 228def 32spe
Lightningrod
~ Thunderbolt
~ Roost
~ Hp ice / flying
~ Toxic

For Kingdra, you could change the nature to Rash or Mild because your Speed is already boosted by the rain.

politoed sets up rain. focus blasts nattorei or sleeps it, hydro pumps everything else, ice beam is for dragons.

Put Drizzle as the trait (kinda obvious, but you forgot). If Politoed is your only Rainer, I suggest giving it more Defence so you're not KO'd and playing in a sandstorm or Hail. Try getting less Speed as the lower the speed the higher the chance of your Rain setting up against a Tyranitar (lower speed pokemon gets it weather up)

Scizor (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit


old dpp set here but it still works fucntions the exact same way so im not even going to bother saying what it does

I'm not good with Scizors, so I won't say anything, but looks good

Kingdra (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 208 Atk / 136 SAtk / 164 Spd | 252 Atk / 252 SAtk / 6 Spe
Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SpDef)
- Outrage
- Draco Meteor
- Waterfall
- Hydro Pump


simple mixdd kingdra. really really fast inthe rain and damn powerful after boost. surf is super duper strong with rain and so is waterfall, draco meteor is just there for obligatory second stab and a strong move in general.

You have Dragon Dance, with only Waterfall benefitting from it. Change it to Outrage and Hydro Pump>Surf (seriously, the power is so much more). If you planning to use this as a late game sweep you lower the speed EV's and just sweep in the rain (you'll reach 414 Speed, so make sure you know if your opponent has a scarfer).

Raikou @ Balloon
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunder
- Volt Change
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Shadow Ball

raikou is a pretty cool guy too, stab thunder with 100% accuracy is cool. volt change helps me scout a little bit and has the accuracy factor for when rain isnt present. hp ice is for dragons/grass types extrasensory is there for other fighting types and stuff. i think for toxicroak but i dont think anyone actually uses that guy. raikou has a pretty limited movepool though :( balloon is obviously so he doesnt get hurt by EQs.

Give yourself some HP there, just to use your EV's. Shadow Ball > Extrasensory, i think x2 Extrasensory won't do as much damage as x1 Thunder, so replace with Shadow Ball, creating pretty good coverage with BoltBeamBall.

Kabutops (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
- Aqua Jet

"standard dpp sd set"

Nothing wrong with this, I use it, I love it.

Ludicolo (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 62 HP /252 SpAtt/ 196 Spe
Modest Nature
- Giga Drain
- Rain Dance
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam

WEEEEEee ludicolo. cool guy, great coverage good typing. not much to say. went with a modest nature for damage output > speed because speed creep is retarded.

I can't see Focus Blast helping much, switch with Rain Dance, in case Politoed dies, and change the EV's accordingly (in rain you don't need full 252 speed evs). This is probably best used as a late game sweeper.

yeah i know rain isnt that exciting but whatever. its a pretty terrible gen overall so rain is at least fun.

comments in bold, you can discard this if you want. i don't think i know to much but i have a Rain Dance team of my own. :)
