Rain dance teams should always have someone with a wet rock. I'll just be rating movesets and items right now.

You might want to consider ice fang over taunt on gyarados, although that's more personal preference.

Ludicolo might do better with energy ball that giga drain. Giga drain is pretty weak, and 50% of a weak attack with low PP isn't hugely helpful, although it can be nice at times.

Go modest on kingdra if you want to use that moveset, and then place ice beam over waterfall. If you want to use a physical kingdra for some reason, go adamant with a moveset of dragon dance/waterfall/return/ice beam or something like that. Ice beam is just filler, as kingdra has a horrible physical movepool, but water/normal isn't resisted by anything but empoleon. Give kingdra a wet rock or leftovers as well.

Yawn or stealth rock would serve empoleon better than roar.

Put some of dusknoir's defense EV's into special defense, as burning your opponent halves their attack, effectively doubling your defense.
 
Yeah, I'm considering wet rock on some pokemon, but I'm using shoddy battle to test right now and I can't seem to find it in the item list. =/
 
If he really wanted to use a mixed kingdra (which is highly unadviseable), then he should have gone with mild or something. Mixed kingdra still sucks.
 
the gyarados should have 264 total speed meaning it should be jolly nature or some other speed nature. it needs this so it can outrun all forms of jolteon after one DD.
