UU Rain Dance Team
This is a somewhat old UU team I made a little while back in January, I did a little laddering with it and got a decent win-streak but I don't really have the time to ladder much now so I decided to post it up and get some help on it and maybe ladder again with it some more when I have time. It's basically your run of the mill RD team. The theme of this team is PC members ^-^
Team At A Glance
Team In-Depth
...................................
...................................
Uxie @Damp Rock ** Red Chain
Nature : Bold
EV : 252 HP / 176 Def / 80 SpD
- U-Turn
- Rain Dance
- Stealth Rock
- Psychic
Uxie is an integral part of this team, whether it gets up the rain successfully usually sets the pace for the battle, whether I can get the upper-hand early. Rain Dance is its main priority then it lays down SR and I save it for later just to set up the rain again and scout around with U-Turn. I picked Uxie over other Rain Dance leads because it's reliable and gets the job done most of the time, he's also useful to take hits late-game and ease up prediction for me.
I called Uxie Red Chain because she adores the lake trio and they are both awesome and help me alot. <3

Gorebyss @Life Orb ** TwilightBlade
Nature : Modest
EV : 4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe
- Surf
- Rain Dance
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Ice Beam
Gorebyss is usually what I bring out first to sweep, Gorebyss is an absolute beast in the rain and few things can take two hits from it. Her primary purpose is basically to hopefully weaken a good portion of the opponent's team and lure out stuff like Chansey so I can dispose of it with something else like Qwilfish or Kabutops. Rain Dance is there just incase the rain runs out and she can replenish it. I was considering Omastar for this spot but I really prefer Gorebyss due to her typing.
Gorebyss is named TwilightBlade because she was one of the people who were nice to me during my noob days just like how Gorebyss is awesome for destroying everything.

Ludicolo @Life Orb ** Anti
Nature : Adamant
EV : 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Seed Bomb
- Swords Dance
- Waterfall
- Ice Punch
Ludicolo is my mid-game sweeper, I bring him in usually after Gorebyss has done her job. I choose the SD set because it still does a great job of sweeping but also because many people don't expect it, they always think it's going to be special-variant or SubSeed. His lack of power at times annoys me but but he does pull off a decent sweep most of the time.

Ludicolo is called Anti because it's the fattest Pokemon in my team. Enough said =)

Kabutops @Life Orb ** Wolf
Nature : Jolly
EV : 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
- Waterfall
- Aqua Jet
Kabutops is there to clean-up whatever Ludicolo and Gorebyss have left behind for him. Basically I bring him in late-game on one of his resistances and pick off things and hopefully setup and try to finish them off. One of his most important jobs is to make sure stuff like Clefable and Chansey don't get in the way of Gorebyss and my other sweepers. He also provides me with priority which has saved me on numerous occasions when the rain hasn't lasted as long as I needed.

I named him Wolf because they are both very...strange.

Altaria @Damp Rock ** Irritation / ABYAY
Nature : Calm
EV : 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SpD
- Rain Dance
- Toxic
- Dragon Pulse
- Roost
Another crucial members of this team, Altaria basically supports the whole team by setting up the rain again and giving status to things which makes it easier for the sweepers. I choose Altaria over other UU Rain supporters for the numerous resistances he brings, mostly notably Grass which I need pretty badly.

I named Altaria ABYAY and Irritation because they need to support S&M by being more active.

Qwilfish @Life Orb ** Dark Azelf
Nature : Jolly
EV : 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Swords Dance
- Waterfall
- Poison Jab
- Explosion
Qwilfish is my last abuser of rain, his role is basically the same as Kabutops to try and setup and wipe out anything that is remaining. He also boasts a couple of resistances which are quite important such as secondary Fighting-resist. Overall he's worked fantastically for me and usually takes one or two Pokemon down with it.

Qwilfish is named DA because they are both awesome and cute \o ^_^
Conclusion
This has been a fairly successful team, I just have to get my predictions right and get them on the defensive quickly. Anyways hope you guys can help me improve this.
