    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

    Click to expand...

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

    Oh, and I run this on my Toxicroak:

    Toxicroak@Leftovers
    Adamant~252 HP/252 Attack
    Rain Dance
    Substitute
    Focus Punch
    Sucker Punch

    I works wonders.
     
    Ok, so there was a little editing done... i really need help i want this to be successful, to some extent like my sandstorm team. Thanks again, please dont be to much of a d|ck
     
    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.
     
    Ok, then what is it i should do, i only seem to put otgether a good Sandstorm team, and i am honestly kinda lost. 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. Edited again, not sure how that is gonna look, maybe throw in ludicolo?
     
    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:

    Kingdra@Leftovers
    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
     
    ok sounds good... sounds like something that will help alright... time to start from scratch
