Rate my monotype Triples team!

Question

Yes, I am indeed aware that this is not an actual tier in metagames (if it is, please say so).

How it works
Slowking and/or Slowbro are always sent out first. One of them uses Trick Room.
When Azumarill uses Belly Drum, Slowbro would Psych Up it.
Floatzel is used to prevent Drought/Solarbeam techniques from working, as well as some support if Trick Room fails. That's why it has an Eject Button.
Note that everything except Floatzel has minimum Speed IVs.

Hello TMA, you gave me good advice about my team, so why not help you out a little bit.

I love the idea of a monotype triple team first off. Im thinking about starting one myself.

Water is a great type for this format. Great HP and for the most part, hard-hitting. One thing that I might suggests adding a Politoed with Drizzle to start. He is a bit fast for TR, so 0 IVs in speed is a necessity. I also think that TR with Slowbro/king and Belly Drum with Azumarill would be a great combo. But when in battle, think about how many hits you can survive before getting Belly Drum off with Azumarill, and TR and Psych Up with Slowbro.

On my previous Double-battle Team, I led with Azumarill and Slowking, Didn't use Belly Drum, and I replaced it with Aqua Jet and an Assault Vest. For Slowking, I had him learn TR and Nasty Plot. Azumarill was almost always targeted so I could 99% get that nice boost off pretty easily. Just food for thought.

I like Floatzel. I have a shiny one I caught a few days ago haha.

Team looks solid!

Hey thanks! I've had people suggest Aqua Jet with Azumarill before, but I find that even with Huge Power, its attack still isn't as high as a lot of other things (Floatzel would still have a higher Attack (105), compared to Huge Power Azumarill (50 X 2 = 100)), so I figured Belly Drum would make it more useful (which it has so far). Originally, it wasn't possible to get Jet or Belly with Azumarill at the same time, but apparently it is now possible due to new breeding rules. I was thinking about changing that. As for Politoed, I've had people diss my entire team on Showdown before (when I wasn't doing Triples) just because I didn't have Politoed, so I'm realy just being defiant. I think Floatzel could be used as fast backup though as well.
