Thundurus (M) @ Damp Rock
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Rain Dance
- Volt Switch
- Taunt
- Thunder Wave

Thundurus helps me set up Rain Dance. Taunt and Thunder Wave are helpful in stopping a Traplayer and Thunder Wave can cripple most sweepers. Volt Switch enables me to switch into another Pokemon easily

Politoed @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- ????
- Ice Beam
- Scald
- Rest

I'm not sure what to put for the first move. Ice Beam and Scald are good attacking moves. Rest provides some recovery. Politoed is an alternative rain inducer. I'll probably switch this; but I don't know what Pokemon to use...

Sparky (Manectric) @ Manectite
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Thunder
- Flamethrower
- Signal Beam
- Hidden Power [Water]

Manectric becomes amazing under Rain; Thunder gets STAB and never misses in Rain. Flamethrower, Signal Beam, and Hidden Power [Water] are coverage moves.

ShellShocker (Blastoise) @ Leftovers
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Aqua Ring
- Ice Beam
- Toxic

Blastoise acts as my Spinner. Aqua Ring+Leftovers+Rain Dish = great recovery. Toxic and Ice Beam wears down the opponent.

Reginald (Gyarados) @ Life Orb
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang
- Bounce
- Dragon Dance

Gyrados is an alternative Physical sweeper. Waterfall and Bounce are STAB. Ice Fang is coverage. Dragon Dance is a good stat-boosting move.

Goodra @ Leftovers
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Rest
- Sludge Bomb
- Infestation
- Rain Dance

Goodra is a Rain Tank. Using Rest+Hydration with Rainy Weather gives good recovery. Infestation locks the other Pokemon that can't do much damage to Goodra. Sludge Bomb deals damage. Rain Dance is just in case if the Rain ends and I don't have any more Rain Inducers.

I might need another Pokemon to replace Politoed; all suggestions are welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Yay, another weather team -_-
Try this

Lapras@Leftovers
EVs:252 HP,  100 Def, 100 Sp.D, 56 Sp.A
Ability: Hydration
Nature:+Sp.D/Def -Atk
-Rest (don't inflict sleep in rain because of Hydration)
-Rain Dance (This is a rain team, duh)
-Blizzard (powerful Ice STAB)
-Surf (powerful Water STAB)

Is also great for doubles as it's attacks hit multiple opponents.
i was going to make weather teams for all tiers
As for your suggestions, I think Goodra can do it better than Lapras :/
I also really don't want to have 5 water types on my team too..
Suit yourself :|
i still need a replacement for politoed doe... :/
Don't use flamethrower on a rain team (manectric). Replace goodra with manaphy. Use scald instead of ice beam on blastoise. Replace gyarados with swift swim kabutops, or switch mega manectric for raikou and use mega swampert.
This was literally 2 years ago ; I know better now.
