My Platinum mixed team

Hey. I live in a small town where all my most worthy battling adversaries use only ubers, and pokemon they beat the E4 for the first time with. Most of them don't even know what EVs or Shiny Pokemon are.Nor did any of them know the value of stat-boosting or Stealth Rocks til they met my T-Tar. I am just trying to get a team with lesser pokemon that will probably wipe the floor with them. this is what I have so far.

Please note that not all Poke'mon are currently obtained

TROPIUS(Chlorophyll)@Heat Rock
Lax
Solar Beam
Sunny Day
Air Slash
Synthesis

ESPEON(Undecided. Maybe a stat berry?)
Bold
Baton Pass
Future Sight
Calm Mind
Substitute

HOUNDOOM(Flash Fire)(Undecided. Maybe Choice Specs?)
SP. ATK Nature
Dark Pulse
Flamethrower
Nasty Plot
Toxic

PHIONE@Wet Rock
Lessened ATK Nature
Surf
Rain Dance
Rest
Ice Beam

ROTOM(Undecided.Maybe Lax Incense?)
SP.ATK Nature
Charge Beam
Double Team
Shadow Ball
Confuse Ray

MACHAMP(No Guard)@Life Orb
Adamant
Stone Edge
Dynamic Punch
Earthquake
Ice Punch

MAROWAK(Rock Head)@Thick Club

First, do NOT mix 2 weather together in a team :)
I suggest removing Phione.

Modest Nature for Tropius, for Rotom

Rotom @ Choice Specs
Timid Nature
~Shadow Ball
~Thunderbolt/Charge Beam
~Trick
~Thunder Wave

Trick a Specs to a physical sweeper, locking its move while giving it no boost.
Or just sweep with Specs-boosted STAB Thunderbolt :p

Thank you very much for the suggestion. I understand your PHIONE concern but it would be unexpected, and I could give ROTOM Thunder. And by the way I'm willing to bet one of my friends will have a Rock Smashing DIALGA.
 
I think the issue is more of the Sunny Day/Rain Dance split. Typically, you can't afford to do both on a single team. You'll want to decide which one serves you better in a battle with your team... I would actually go with Sunny Day rather than Rain Dance, considering your team.
