WTF? I didn't see this until just a minute ago. I ended up posting a Rain Dance team too, so you should go rate mine while I rate yours. :)

Not sure what White Herb is for on your Kingdra... Should be Leftovers, Wet Rock or Light Orb instead IMO.

I think Ice Beam with a relaxed nature is better than Avalanche... Ice Beam is always consistent damage, so you'll have a stronger attack (most of the time).

Taunt is an option on your Gyarados. Stone Edge is fine though.

As long as Kingdra stays alive, I don't think you need Rain Dance on your Ludicolo. If you want the security of having an extra Rain Dance, be my guest.

I like the Empoleon/Weezing. Weezing could maybe use Will o Wisp instead of Haze, it depends on how you want to use him. You could also use a nature that doesn't take away from Explosion's power.

Nice team though.

Thanks, I guess we had sort of the same idea. Avanlanche works fine on this slow, more physical Pert, Kingdra already does Ice Beam so I don't really need that. I might chance the item but I don't like that I have to switch after one Draco Meteor. I need Stone Edge on either Pert of Dos for coverage so I'm gonna keep that I think and Explosion still kills Blissey IIRC, what is still it's main use.
 

Hayabusa

Bona fide Narutard.
Yeah, sorry for 'stealing your thunder.' I didn't realize you had posted a team as I was posting mine. :p

Dragon Pulse is an option, but I thought about this and just decided to go for power. Switching after is fine IMO. If you're in enough trouble to use Draco Meteor, you'd probably switch anyway.

Dragon Pulse/Draco Meteor is really just a filler that gets STAB. It already has Ice Beam, so most dragons (as long as you're not fighting another Kingdra lead :X) will die to Ice Beam.

Well, you didn't really change anything besides pointing out a small typo and warning for Cresselia as Gyara counter..

Huge bump, there should be someone out there that can point out a weak of this team.
