Lead.

Imo more SDef EVs work better.

Milotic (F) @ Leftovers

Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam

Doesn't die if I use it right.

Spd EVs? To beat what?

Metagross @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 76 HP / 252 Atk / 28 Def / 96 Spd / 56 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Earthquake

.

Durability always helps for me.

Dugtrio (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Arena Trap
EVs: 252 Atk / 220 Spd / 36 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Bug]

One of my fav CBers.

Duggy ain't exactly a feared physical presence.

Weezing (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 60 Atk / 196 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Haze
- Pain Split
- Sludge Bomb
- Will-O-Wisp

Helps Defensively.

SDef? That won't help much on Weezing.

Ludicolo (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 36 Def / 220 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Surf
- Toxic

Helps Special Defensivey.

Ludi doesn't work amazingly as the multi-purpose special sponge of a team, ever.
Bolded my comments and corrections.

Raikou is a bad lead... Lead with Metagross or Aerodactyl.
 

totallylost

That one guy...
don't lead with raikou, and get sludge bomb on dugtrio instead of hiden power. if its hidden power was a little better, i would say keep it
 
xd

Raikou is an awesome lead.
Beats common leads like Zapdos, Salamence (with hp ice), Swampert (with HP Grass), Jolteon - sub then CM.
and only looses to Snorlax and the odd Aerodactyl.

I'd say it scares Swampert away rather than beats it. It's an okay lead; leaving it for in the game is what I prefer.
