JCM, I need to point this out. The whole point of the SR set is to fake a Choice Band. Whether that's with Earth Plate, Expert Belt, or even Colbur Berry to lure & KO dark types, you can't be taking LO recoil; it gives your game away.
Still, it's a great set. I love it <3. You don't have to ^^
Know whats good for rain teams.The mixed castform,STAB weather ball,the rain roserade,hurricane or the thunder gengar.Roserade  and Gengar unexpected and hurricane can be powerful coverage.Weather ball will be powerful overall  with 100 power+STAB+50% rain.Castform is well,castform.
Hey, I faced this team....
Remember, Dragonuser, this is NU, not OU..... And Castform is terrible.

Hey B3N, I was going to rate this but I haven't really got around to it until now. Looks solid, I've always like rain in NU :] my suggestions aren't vital but they should help the team perform better as a whole.


Linoone

I see what you're trying to do with him, but you gotta remember that he's famous for that set in NU so most opponents won't be setting up hazards on him, they'll be straight up attacking. And by tricking them a band you've basically just guaranteed your death :p I'd go with the standard set, with sitrus berry over choice band, and shadow claw over switcheroo. You'll also want a jolly nature, as crazy as it sounds, you have enough attack already and you need to outspeed timid haunter. Put the other 4 EVs in HP.


Ampharos

Thunder > reflect to abuse the rain, and heal bell > thunder wave as a lot of your sweepers are crippled by burn & paralysis.


Wailord

Perfect.


Alomomola

252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef is better as it backs up your Ampharos's ability to take most special hits. Also, Dive seems like a good stalling idea on paper, but what it really does is make you setup bait to anything with substitute; use waterfall.


Beartic

I like this guy, he can make short work of Amoonguss clearing the way for a Wailord sweep. Take off rain dance for aqua jet which is boosted by the rain and can finish off weakened opponents. Lastly, put 4 EVs in defense and give him a jolly nature to outspeed scarf braviary, gardevoir etc. under rain. IMO superpower > brick break, you're boosting your attack anyway and the extra power is helpful for smashing regirock & friends.


Golurk

Your current set isn't contributing much to the win condition of your team, you're also lacking stealth rock so it would be helpful on this guy.

Golurk @ Expert Belt
Trait: No Guard
EVs: 92 HP / 252 Atk / 164 Spd
Stealth Rock
DynamicPunch
Earthquake
Shadow Punch
