I'm not sure about focus sash on volcorana as you have no rapid spinner.

Best answer

I love answering your RMTs..

Politoed

Replace HP Grass with Psychic for more sheer power. Not very effective Hydro Pump in the rain.. 120 - 60 - 90 - 135 is almost equal to a super effective HP Grass.

Clamperl

Keep on trollin' bro.

Dragonair

He isn't getting a lot of rain support, and he isn't doing much for your team.
But Zapdos is x2 weak to S-rock and Volcarona is x4.
And general hazard damage sucks for any pokemon to switch into so...
Spinner time!

Blastoise

Blastoise (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic
- Dive
- Dragon Tail

Because I suggested Tentacruel last time..
Rapid Spin clears out hazards just like you need. Toxic helps with it's way of gradually screwing your foe. Dive will help you further stall out toxic and get your Rain Dish + leftovers healing combo, while it also does STAB damage.
Dragon Tail is for threats you can't handle, just phase em away.

Volcarona

Run Fire Blast for threats like Ferrothorn and Forretress. Mostly Ferrothorn, as you don't have a fighting type. ( Rain may weaken it, but it basically just removes STAB )

Zapdos

Zapdos @ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 60 SAtk / 196 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Thunder
- Roost
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Drill Peck

Mixedos can break through walls so much easier. Thunder is STAB. Drill Peck is MUCH better STAB than Air Cutter. HP Ice gives you bolt-beam coverage. Roost heals.

Is that because there's so many things wrong with them, or is it because they're interesting? XP
The things wrong with them are normally things I learned from experience. They aren't like those dead obvious things from crappy battlers that I don't feel like taking the time to type out xD
