Rotom-W@Choice Scarf
Timid Nature
Levitate
~Trick
~Volt Switch
~Thunder WaveOverheat/Hydro pump/Leaf storm
~Will-o-WispOverheat/Hydro pump/Leaf storm

Change rotom's form so You can get a secound more powerful stab. Mow/Cut Rotom has Leafstorm and you do lack a fire attack, Wash Rotom has good typing and coverage, and Heat Rotom has good coverage as well.

Kingra
Jolly/Timid Nature
SniperSwift swim
~Disable/Rain dance/Outrage
~Waterfall/Surf/Scald
~Dragon Dance/Ice beam
~Substitute/Outrage/Rest/Rain dance

You can add Outrage(egg move) to make it a better Physical attacker and add Rain dance to boost your water moves or make it a special attacker.

Hitmonlee@Life Orb
Adamant Nature
Reckless
~Double Edge
~Hi Jump Kick
~Blaze Kick
~Sucker Punch

This is good.

Tornadus@Flying Gem
Timid Nature
Prankster
~Acrobatics
~TailWind
~U-Turn
~Hammer Arm

This is also good.

Drapion@Leftovers
Careful Nature
Battle Armor
~Crunch
~Taunt
~Toxic Spikes
~Whirlwind

Nice set.

Good mixed Tier team. You could use a or steel type. Magnazone(available via DW and evolve from Magnaton in chargestone cave you'll need to breed with ditto for a better ability) reset the Ice beam and thundebolt combo and can trap steels while Hydreigon gives you a lot of Coverage but takes forever to evolve if this is for ingame. Apart from that you could add a special attacker like Reuniclus to you team.

Hydreigon
Modest/Timid Nature
Dark pulse/Crunch/Earthquake/Focus blast
Draco meteor/Dragon pulse
Surf
Flamethrower/Fire blast/Focus blast

Dragon fire has great coverage Dark move takes down Psychics and Ghost while Earthquake gives you move coverage if you have the TM. Focus balst and Fire blast/Flamethrower takes down steel types. Surf is just filler.

Magnazone
Timid/Modest Nature
Magnet pull
-Thunderbolt
-Flash cannon/Hidden power Ice
-Magnet rise/Protect/Substitute
-Tri attack/Filler move

Traps and destroys steel types. Pretty simple Hidden power ice may be hard to get so Flash cannon is the alternative.

Reuniclus
Modest/Quiet/Bold
Magic guard
-Psychic/Psyshock/Calm mind/Trick room
Shadow ball
-Focus blast/Calm mind/Trick room
-Recover

Set up Trick room and sweep, stall and calm mind for power, or just attack pretty simple

thanks for the feedback^^ i'll give rotom a stab then but i did note it was the heat form. i plan on keeping disable on kingdra for the trick+disable combo but i will add a couple of the moves thanks i cant do the rain dance+swift swim cous its banned :/. and magnezone sounds good but i think i need a special sweeper but im sort of picky with OU pokes.

Drizzle and swift swim is banned rain dance and swift swim are legal(Drizzle Politoed teams would be overpowered if they were allowed to have swift swimmers while Rain dance teams still need to set up and have a 5-8 turn limit on their weather depending on if the user has damp rock or not.)

Disable best works on Gengar due to its immunity to Normal, Fighting and Ground(via levitate) attacks so it can set up on choice scarf/band/specs pokemon and use protect/disable to ruin them. Kingdra isn't as good at using disable due to its lack of immunities.

If you switch to Gengar then use Hydro pump Wash Rotom to maintain you water coverage or grab a Hydreigon to keep both your Water coverage as well as adding Dragon/Fire/Surf perfect neutral coverage.

You should've edit that into the first post instead, raters look at the very first post, not somewhere in the middle of the thread ;)

Your WORST nightmare
Drizzle and swift swim is banned rain dance and swift swim are legal(Drizzle Politoed teams would be overpowered if they were allowed to have swift swimmers while Rain dance teams still need to set up and have a 5-8 turn limit on their weather depending on if the user has damp rock or not.)

er..no. Drizzle + Swift Swim is banned if you're a player on Random Matchup who happens to appreciate Smogon. If not it rocks.
nice 1st team actually.
just wanted to point out
1. the type coverage is awful, this isn't a problem in competitive, except this is in-game rate my team, so I'm assuming...
2. following number 1, lose the flying gem on Tornadus unless you want to find another one every time you use Acrobatics
3. on Drapion. He CANNOT use Taunt, Toxic Spikes and Whirlwind. That is almost impossible. I suggest getting Roar/Whirlwind/Circle Throw/Dragon Tail or any of those moves on other pokemon, because Drapion will definitely faint before using Whirlwind.

thanks shine ^^
i know its in game but yes ill use them in random matchup:p i'll try to patch up a couple of weaknesses with the 5th pokemon. drapion can learn whirlwind its an egg move from a butterfree and toxic spikes it learns by leveling up and the others are tm moves but i'll try and find a better entrance hazard pokemon

I've put your updated team into the first post. Next time, just call a mod to do it instead of double-posting ;)

You need a bulky counter against dragons, I think. Drayden/Iris would do pretty good against your team, for in-game.
For Wi-fi, most people have a dragon type on their team. I think you should run this:

Articuno @Leftovers or The Berry that resists rock
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Bold or Calm
Reflect/Sleep Talk
Ice Beam
Roost
Rest

That's just my opinion. You could run a bulky dragon type. But I think Articuno is best to fit this role.
