Okay you don't need 3 rain dancers either.

Also that Bronzong has WAY too much SDef investment between the max SDef and Light Screen. Buff up is Def some and give it a little Atk if you can.

No reliable walling is the downfall of this team, easily.

Also Damp Rock only effects Pokemon that are using Rain Dance... just thought I'd point that one out

Oh and in my experience Heat Proof Zong doesn't really work well unless you run Imprison and Earthquake on the set. Otherwise people will notice you not switching him into predicted EQs, especially when nothing else can resist EQ, and that will be it's downfall

He doesn't really even need HeatProof. The rain halves damage from fire attacks by itself.

Oh, and I run this on my Toxicroak:

[email protected]
Adamant~252 HP/252 Attack
Rain Dance
Substitute
Focus Punch
Sucker Punch

I works wonders.

Um what is up with that Suicune? That set is honestly terrible...despite the offensive moves it's lacking offensive power at all...

Needs more Calmcune IMO.

though really Suicune only adds to all those weaknesses and general and should go, along with a few other waters.

I'm not exactly sure what to do with the type ratio, and this is only my second weather team. AHHHHHH! Can someone give some form of suggestions, like what pokemon i should include or take out.

Okay, I'm going to make up one at random here, so please, don't hate me if it sounds wrong.

Lead your team with a sturdy Pokemon, preferably one with access to HP Electric, Thunderbolt, and/or Ice Beam. Mainly because Salamence and Gyarados lead most teams these days. Use Rain Dance with that Pokemon regardless of what other options you have, unless of course the opponent will kill you. I suggest this:

[email protected]
Modest~252 Special Attack/240 HP/16 Speed
Rain Dance
HP Electric
Surf/Hydro Pump
Ice Beam/Dragon Pulse

So yeah, that's a sturdy lead, only way it'll die first turn is if the Salamence you're fighting happens to be a SpecsMence and uses Draco Meteor.

So yeah, that'll get you started, but I don't have all day to type, so work out the rest yourself :D
