OMG i just made this hecka long post and it said I wasnt logged in, ok im new here and heres my team. Help with items and a 6th pokemon. No trading or Battle Tower stuff til i can get them or more legendaries. Stick with my rain dance theme.

Kyogre w/ Mystic Water

Surf
Ice Beam
Thunder
Calm Mind

Classic Special Sweeper and Drizzle to get thing started. Ill drop the Mystic Water til i find a better item, rest is self-explanational.

Manetric w/ King's Rock

Thunder
Roar
Thunder Wave
Bite

Shuffler/Pseudo-Haxer - with Bite/Rock/Thunder Wave, attacking can get tricky. If I face Baton Passing team, ill roar it out and paralyze/roar everything. Drizzle + Thunder = :D

Swampert w/ Chesto Berry

Earthquake
Surf
Rain Dance
Rest

Mixed Sweeper, i might as well use it since its my starter, STAB + Torrent + Rain Dance = :D ... Rest/Chesto if I get in trouble.

Heracross w/ ???

Megahorn
Endure
Reversal
Bulk Up

Physical Sweeper, to counter my Blissey/Snorlax/Regice/Grass weakness. Dont say add Swords Dance and Rock Slide unless you can tell me exactly where to get it without trading or heavy breeding. Classic Endure/Reversal Combo. Really need help here.

Milotic w/ ???

Ice Beam
Dive
Recover
Rain Dance

DONT TAKE OUT RAIN DANCE Rain Power! I tried to get confuse ray on it but none of my corsola like my feebas, Possible Freeze + Dive + Recover = :D

PS - need help on 6th pokemon and where do i get a trainer card?

Very good. LEftovers

Manetric w/ King's Rock

Thunder
Substitute
Thunder Wave
Bite

Shuffler/Pseudo-Haxer - with Bite/Rock/Thunder Wave, attacking can get tricky. If I face Baton Passing team, ill roar it out and paralyze/roar everything. Drizzle + Thunder = :D

Manectric's defense dont qualify it for a job as a phazer. If you can, breed later for Crunch over Bite. Otherwise that's all ya got, besides Quick Attack. I'm thinking Petaya Berry or Leftovers

Swampert w/ Chesto Berry

Earthquake
Surf
Rain Dance
Rest

Mixed Sweeper, i might as well use it since its my starter, STAB + Torrent + Rain Dance = :D ... Rest/Chesto if I get in trouble.

I personally feel leftovers does better than Chesto Berry, as you'll probably be resting multiple times. Use Ice Beam over Rain Dance please. If you fine the time, try to breed a Curspert. Btw, Swampert, being part ground, can be partially screwed by other surfers in a Rain Dance

Heracross w/ ???

Megahorn
Endure
Reversal
Swords Dance

Physical Sweeper, to counter my Blissey/Snorlax/Regice/Grass weakness. Dont say add Swords Dance and Rock Slide unless you can tell me exactly where to get it without trading or heavy breeding. Classic Endure/Reversal Combo. Really need help here.

Swords Dance does it better. On any reversal/flail set, USE SALAC BERRY

Milotic w/ ???

Ice Beam
Surf
Recover
Safeguard/Attract/Toxic

DONT TAKE OUT RAIN DANCE Rain Power! I tried to get confuse ray on it but none of my corsola like my feebas, Possible Freeze + Dive + Recover = :D

Dive does not help at all. You dont need Rain Dance since Kyogre gives out automatic, lasting rain. Use LEftovers. You can also breed for Mirror Coat or Hypnosis

PS - need help on 6th pokemon and where do i get a trainer card
Trainer cards can be made for you by random art creators on the internet. I know Aquatic_Evil from Morlord makes them.

To make a succesful Rain Dance team, you should include pokemon with the ability-Swift Swim, to take advantage of the rain. Ludicolo and Kingdra are your best options.

Since your Kyogre provides all the Rain you'll ever need, putting Rain Dance on your other Pokemon is both redudant and unnecessary.
Also, Manectric isn't a great choice for this team. Thunder+Rain Dance isn't all its cracked up to be, as most Electric types are so unversatile that they can't handle Grass, Ground, and other Electrics well (Hidden Power is their only other option). A better choice instead of Manectric is Lanturn, who can learn a variety of other attacks to handle its weaknesses.

Lanturn @Leftovers
Surf
Thunder
Ice Beam
Toxic/Confuse Ray/Thunder Wave

Lanturn also has Volt Absorb to handle enemy Thunders.

Like Synchronize said, you can't have a Rain Dance team without at least one Pokemon that has Swift Swim.

I'd make your 6th Pokemon Ludicolo. It gets Swift Swim, has Leech Seed to handle Blissey, and is overall at its best in the Rain.

Ludicolo @Leftovers/Lum Berry (to handle paralysis)
Surf
Leech Seed
Ice Beam
Giga Drain

And also, you can get Trainer cards made for you in the Trainer card forum (in the Art Gallery).

I really doubt you'll find a Batton Pass team in Sapphire. Manectric is a piss poor phazer, so I'd just put Substitute there. As a last pokemon I'd just go Kingdra for another Rain Dance sweeper or even an Omastar so you'll have a normal resist

Curse is a bred-on move and Swords Dance can be learned from Move tutor.
