I know this team is terrible =( but since I put so much times in this(I did!) help me to get this team actually going on the shoddy battle ladder. Criticize if you want to. OK, here goes my team.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Metalthingy (Crobat) (M) @ Damp Rock
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 162 HP/216 Spd/132 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hypnosis
- Roost
- Rain Dance
- Air Slash
--- He's my first Rain supporter and he's like an annoyer. He can roost off damages and then keep hitting with Air Slash if he needs to. I put out Taunt since I never liked taunt much(and I needed a place for rain). He's really important because he blocks grass-typed attacks that may come in my way.
Hydra (Kingdra) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Atk/88 Spd/168 SAtk
Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Draco Meteor
- Waterfall
- Rain Dance
- Surf
--- He's my second rain dance supporter. He's also a sweeper. I'm the most doubtful about his EVs and his moves. I chose Surf over Hydro Pump since I hate Hydro Pump(because its accuracy).
Pinkdancer (Ludicolo) (F) @ Leftover
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP/76 SAtk/180 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Surf
- Toxic
- Leech Seed
- Protect
--- She's my staller, She's my only wall-like thing(barring crobat). Tell me if I have to change anything.
Floatsac (Floatzel) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 40 HP/252 Def/212 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Baton Pass
- Bulk Up
- Taunt
- Waterfall
--- He's really not a sweeper, more like a baton passer. Not much can said about him.
YeloKabu (Kabutops) (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 224 HP/252 Atk/24 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- X-Scissor
- Waterfall
- Rock Slide
- Brick Break
--- This guy here is mostly for killing stuff, his speed EV is to outrun adamant heracross after a swift swim boost. Oh yeah, Rock Slide replaced Stone Edge because its accuracy and its side ability to flinch. I'm not sure whether his moves are good because i chose them myself =)
Orangesub (Electivire) (M) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 6 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunder
- Cross Chop
--- This guy is really important on my team, since his ability lets him to absorb electric moves. He can seriously kill stuff if they're not prepared for it.

So, how do you like it? Was it terrible? Again, please criticize me. I need an improvement;I
just lost to a rain team.

Flamethrower while beging in the Rain is pretty lowered, maybe change it to Thunderbolt.

U-turn for Crobat could prove useful over Air Slash or Roost. Ludicolo has a wide special movepool. Rain support and GK/ Ice Beam can be an option so that Kingdra can have HP Electric. Kabutops can revenge-kill almost any sweeper in the rain with the right attacks, so Life Orb > CB on some circumstances.

Just make sure that Kingdra (if you'll still have it on him) and Crobat's rain setup won't be disrupted by the likes of ScarfChomp, CB/RKiller Weavile and others.

Good luck, 'cause I'll soon download Shoddy, too. :happy:
