Here is my RD team, enjoy!

Please no criticism without reason, then its just spam...

Bannete@Iron Ball
Calm
252 HP/252 Def/4 Sp.Def
Frisk
-Trick
-Will-O-Wisp
-Destiny Bond
-Rain Dance
Trick with the Iron Ball takes care of most starters that don't OHKO me (which doesn't happen often). Frisk tells me if it is a special type of pokemon, for example, a specstran. I can Trick my Iron Ball to cripple all sweepers. Will-O-Wisp takes care of non-guts/fire physical sweepers. Destiny Bond is for when I get low on health, if the Iron Ball is on them I can take them with me. Rain Dance sets up for my team.

Ludicolo@Leftovers
Calm
204 HP/76 Sp.Att/124 Sp.Def/104 Speed
Swift Swim
-Rain Dance
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Leech Seed
A seeder that gets really annoying. I can set up Rain Dance and switch on most attacks. Surf will let me take care of most pokemon that Ice Beam doesn't. It's quite simple, yet effective.

Vaporeon@Leftovers
Bold
188 HP/252 Sp.Att/68 Sp.Att
Water Absorb
-Substitute
-Surf
-Baton Pass
-Wish
Standard Wish-Passing Vaporeon. Substitute, Baton Pass. Wish when needed.

Qwilfish@Choice Band
Adamant
4 HP/252 Att/252 Speed
Swift Swim
-Waterfall
-Poison Jab
-Return
-Explosion
Kills everything except Emploeon in rain. Waterfall OHKO's Garchomp after I outspeed it. Poison Jab is a really powerful STAB move. Return is there for stuff that resists my other moves (like Tentacruel) and Explosion is a superpowered last resort.

Toxicroak@Wide Lens
Adamant
4 HP/252 Att/252 Speed
Dry Skin
-Cross Chop
-Sucker Punch
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
Get a substitute passed to him from Vaporeon. I use everything I can to do damage. I can switch in on water type moves when I am low on health, although not many of those will be volleyed around with my rain dance team. Everything is for type coverage, and Sucker Punch's priority.

Empoleon@Life Orb
Timid
40 HP/252 Sp.Att/216 Speed
Torrent
-Agility
-Surf
-Grass Knot
-Ice Beam
AgilEmp!!! Under rain his Surf is extremely powerful. Grass Knot takes care of bulky water types that try to take me out. It really works on choice users, curtesy of Banette! I can switch into certain moves and Agility. Then I proceed to sweeping. This guy rocks!

Hm... Banette is my own set but the rest isn't really new. What do you think?

Poison Jab on Qwilfish isn't really worth it, since it hits nothing that the other team mate's Ice Beams won't hit. Swift Swim+Destiny Bond can be very fun.

Speaking of Destiny Bond, Banette is not very good at bonding, even with Iron Ball. Chances are it will die before a bond has been destined, so Shadow Claw is good to replace it with so you don't get Taunted. Speaking of Taunt, Thunder/Thunderbolt is also good for Gyarados leads.

 

[EmpoleonStaraptorStarch]

Yeah, I'd thought about that, but if I have no sp.att investment it isn't really worth it. I can tell what kind of gyarados it is due to its Item. If it's not a taunter, I can trick the Iron Ball to it, then Destiny Bond next turn. He survives most hits from starters.

You might want to try Substitute and petaya berry on empoleon.

Substitute keeps you safe and avoids status but more importantly it lowers your health When it's low enough it will activate your torrent ability and your petaya berry.

Torrent + Petaya + STAB + Rain boost = Mwahahaha

I prefer the physical variation (using a liechi berry instead of a petaya, adamant and attack EVs) because Waterfall and Return are resisted only by other empoleon
