    I'm new to battling competitively so please tell me everything wrong with my team and what I should do to fix it. Anyway here's the team:

    Electrode-Damp Rock
    Ability:Soundproof Nature:Hasty
    Rain Dance
    Explosion
    Taunt
    Thunder
    Evs:252 Atk/48 Spa/208 Spe
    This is straight off of Smogon Electrode seems like the best lead to me personally due to his high speed and his taunt can stop spikes.

    Kabutops-Life Orb
    Ability:Swift Swim Nature:Adamant
    Swords Dance
    Aqua Tail
    Stone Edge
    Aqua Jet
    Evs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 HP
    Physical Sweeper. Aqua Jet for revenge killing.

    Ludicolo-Life Orb
    Ability:Swift Swim Nature:Modest
    Surf
    Energy Ball
    Ice Beam
    Rain Dance
    Evs: 252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP
    Special sweeper, also used to take out water types in the rain. Can set up rain if it goes away too.

    Chansey-Leftovers
    Ability:Natural Cure Nature:Calm
    Wish
    Protect
    Seismic Toss
    Thunder Wave
    Evs: 252 SpD/252 HP/ 4 Def
    Wish for healing my sweepers, I'll switch in when they have a special sweeper T wave to slow them down, or wish to heal my sweepers.

    Cloyster-Leftovers
    Ability:Shell Armor Nature:Bold
    Rain Dance
    Protect
    Rapid Spin
    Explosion
    Evs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 Atk
    Not really sure about Cloyster... seems pretty pointless other than for keeping up rain and getting rid of spikes.

    Leafeon-Leftovers
    Ability:Leaf Guard Nature: Jolly
    Baton Pass
    Swords Dance
    Synthesis
    Leaf Blade
    Evs: 252 Spe/252 Def/4 HP
    I know this seems weird in a Rain Dance team but Leafeon is great for baton passing Swords Dance to Kabutops.

    This is my first team I've made, I haven't used it yet either just trying to throw out some ideas and get some suggestions back.
     
    Your team suffers from a major toxicroak weakness,as it virtually owns your entire team.I'd ditch cloyster and get Donpan in-its a pretty good wall,can spin,AND can kill croak.

    Also,baton pass doesn't really work on rain teams too well;so I would suggest a Gorebyss or Lanturn in ts place.Gorebyss can rip off croak with psychic,and Lanturn's a decent wall,as well as a pretty good sweeper,with its Volt absorb ability.The choice is yours though.

    Also Waterfall>Aqua tail on tops for a decent flinch rate plus 100% accuracy.
     
    Thanks I really wasn't sure on the last 3 pokemon at all but I had to post a full team. I didn't even think of the Toxicroak weakness either.
