    Yeah, Time for another team. This time its Rain Dance!




    Electrode @ Damp Rock
    Jolly Nature
    Soundproof
    252 Speed | 252 Attack | 4 HP
    -Rain Dance
    -Taunt
    -Explosion
    -Thunder Wave?

    Son't knock it 'till you've tried it. My first Rain starter. Trode is pretty fast, out running even Aero. This lets me taunt it, then set up rain. He can also Criple any swithch ins with thunder wave, then go boom for massive damage.



    Aerodactyl @ Damp Rock
    Jolly Nature
    Pressure
    252 Attack | 252 Speed | 4 HP
    -Rain Dance
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge
    -Taunt

    Standard lad Aero. Just dropped Stealth rock for rain dance, As I really wont be needing it.


    Kingdra @ Life Orb
    Adamant Nature
    Swift Swim Ability
    252 Attack | 252 Speed | 4HP
    -Waterfall
    -Outrage
    -Rain Dance
    -Dragon Dance

    This is just a basic Double Dance Kingdra. Im not sure I I want to go fully physical yet, I may change it to a mixed DD sweeper.


    Ludicolo @ Life Orb
    Modest Nature
    Swift Swim Ability
    252 Special Attack | 252 Speed | 4 HP
    -Surf
    -Grass Knot | Energy Ball
    -Ice Beam
    -Hidden Power Electric

    Standard I suppose? I noticed im lacking in the special department, and this helps out. HP electric is there mainly for Gyarados.


    Poliwrath @ Leftovers
    Adamant Nature
    Water Absorb
    252 Attack | 252 Speed | 4HP? (not sure about the EV's)
    -Substitute
    -Waterfall
    -Focus Punch
    -Hypnosis

    Tyranitar check. Sleeps it, then Focus punches it to death.


    Blissey @ Leftovers
    Calm | Bold Nature?
    Natural Cure
    252 Defense | 176 Special Defense | 80 HP
    -Wish
    -Softboiled
    -Seismic toss
    -Thunder wave

    WishBliss is here for one reason: It can heal my team. Seismic toss is standard on bliss, as is Softboiled. Thunderwave helps aid its partners in sweeping.

     
    Yeah, ever since Hypnosis' accuracy dropped, Bronzong and Yanmega have become less common. Now about your team...

    Electrode is the best Rain Dance lead I've seen.

    About Taunt... the only reason most people use an Electrode lead is to Taunt lead Aerodactyls out of Stealth Rock. This strategy has become so common that lead Aerodactyls will now just Earthquake Electrodes on sight. Unless you decide to put a Focus Sash on, don't bother with Taunt: you'll die before you set up your rain. Swap it out for Screech to force switches, or Light Screen for Electrical protection.

    Call me crazy, but I've found that Kabutops is a pretty good Rain physical sweeper. He's just as fragile as Aerodactyl, but has higher Attack, Swift Swim, and isn't Stealth Rock weak.

    Kabutops
    @ Wide Lens/Damp Rock
    -Rock Slide/Stone Edge
    -Waterfall
    -Aerial Ace/Rain Dance
    -Night Slash

    Kingdra @ Life Orb
    Adamant Nature

    252 Attack | 252 Speed | 4HP
    -Waterfall
    -Outrage
    -Rain Dance
    -Dragon Dance

    You've already got Poliwrath and Aerodactyl/Kabutops as Physical attackers, so I doubt you'd really miss Kingdra if he turned into a Special sweeper.

    Lol standard Kingdra
    @ Anything, really
    -Surf
    -Dragon Pulse/HP Ground
    -Ice Beam
    -Rain Dance

    HP Ground covers Steel types who resist your other attacks (and Heatran), but Dragon Pulse is strong STAB.

    Ludicolo @ Life Orb
    Modest Nature
    Swift Swim Ability
    252 Special Attack | 252 Speed | 4 HP
    -Surf
    -Grass Knot | Energy Ball
    -Ice Beam
    -Hidden Power Electric

    Standard I suppose? I noticed im lacking in the special department, and this helps out. HP electric is there mainly for Gyarados.

    Take Grass Knot over Energy Ball. Rock/Ground types are already covered by Surf, and Waters by HP Electric. Grass Knot will help deal with heavy Steel-types that resist everything else.

    Poliwrath @ Leftovers
    Adamant Nature
    Water Absorb
    252 Attack | 252 Speed | 4HP? (not sure about the EV's)
    -Substitute
    -Waterfall
    -Focus Punch
    -Hypnosis

    Tyranitar check. Sleeps it, then Focus punches it to death.

    With the Accuracy drop from Platinum, slap a Wide Lens on this guy or forget about him altogether. If you're running Water Absorb, I'd prefer Quagsire. Earthquake is just as effective in killing Tyranitar, and he blocks those pesky Jolteon.

    Quagsire
    @Leftovers
    -Waterfall
    -Earthquake
    -Body Slam
    -Curse/Ice Punch/Seismic Toss

    Note that Quagsire can also learn Focus Punch, although it's not as powerful as Poliwrath's.

    Blissey @ Leftovers
    Calm | Bold Nature?
    Natural Cure
    252 Defense | 176 Special Defense | 80 HP

    Nothing to say here.

    And you don't have to use the [COLOR] tags on every single line, guy. Highlighting the entire paragraph works, too.

    2 Pokemon ≠ the entire team.

    Realistically, a Jolly Jolteon or Zapdos would rip his original team apart. He needed a Ground-type with good defenses/resistances/HP, and Quagsire/Swampert fills this role perfectly.

    Kabutops > Aerodactyl for the reason I mentioned, and the comments on Electrode are from my experience using an Electrode lead (I recently switched to a Scarfed Arcanine).

    What person would leave their sleeping Tyranitar in on a Fighting Pokemon? The know they're going to get hit with a 4x weakness, meaning that he probably wouldn't have a chance to even hit the thing.

    I didn't change Ludicolo, I just offered my input and reasoning on why Grass Knot would be better than Energy Ball.
     
    Might consider a focus sash consider every time I see an electrode with my Mammo lead, I EQ it to death knowing it's going to taunt...any prediction will overcome it, and Focus Sash guarantees a rain dance.
