Hmmm
you dont need to have rain dance on all of your team members. you are just wasting space for more helpful moves

also a damp rock (or whatever its name is. the one that makes rain continues for 8 turns) should be held by your lead aka the one whose going to use rain dance at the beginning of the battle

i would suggest that vaporeon has a recovery move wether its aqua ring or wish to support the team
also one of those water pokemon with the ability swift swim would be great in your team instead of your every day water pokemon

thats all i can offer as i dont know much about RD teams :)

good luck

Half of your team is weak to ground type moves as well. I know you have magnet rise on Magnezone but you should think about how you're going to deal with that.

[MissingNo.]

As a major Starmie user, ask its victims, I'm sure I could give some useful inputs. First, yes, get rid of Rain Dance. Ice Beam is a must for a sweeping Starmie. And to discuss your decision on the final move, Thunderbolt or Power Gem, I too thought Power Gem to be the better choice, as it provides awesome type coverage. However, Power Gem will rarely be more powerful than your stabbed surf. I never used it. Once I put Thunderbolt on, I found Starmie to be much more of a threat, as it can now deal with fellow water types, which there are plenty of. This also more effectively covers the flyers.

Maybe someone who uses these two types can help :p

Right Magnezone, great, but not a lead! I have tried that and its to slow to set up Magnetic Rise, its a poke to be brought out on something that cant touch it to set it up.

To much special attack and one one Physical attacker, if Electivire is taken down and a special wall comes out your are in trouble.

Jolteon is to squishy to use moves like Roar and Toxic, Ludicolo, Attack unless its the SD set it cant pull it off, especially Fire Punch.
