Trait: Drizzle

EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef

Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

- Water Sport

- Scald

- Focus Blast

- Ice Beam

Politoed will obviously bring the permanent rain this team (especially Beartic) needs

Water Sport to weaken the fire types more than just rain would

Scald to burn and damage threats, Ice Beam against dragon types and flying types

Focus Blast for steel types

Trait: Swift Swim

EVs: 12 HP / 252 Atk / 244 Spd

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

- Icicle Crash

- Rock Slide

- Night Slash

- Swords Dance

Beartic will be the main sweeper

Swords Dance to boost Atk stat

STAB Icicle Crash and the chance of making opponents flinch

Rock Slide to hit multiple opponents, and Night Slash to ghost or psychic types

King's Rock for more flinch hax

178.gif@ Light Clay

Trait: Magic Bounce

EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

- Reflect

- Light Screen

- Tailwind

Xatu will use screens and Tailwind to support the team

Thunder Wave to paralyze opponents, and to boost Manectric's SAtk with its Lightningrod

134.gif@ Leftovers

Trait: Water Absorb

EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef

Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)

- Toxic

Vaporeon will Toxic stalling opponents and use Heal Bell when necessary

Helping Hand to boost specific team member's attacks

The beast of this team.

Use Thunder in rain to kill opponents

HP Grass to typical ground/water types

Snarl to troll and Switcheroo when I don't want to be stuck with Specs when I switch in

Trait: Storm Drain

EVs: 160 HP / 252 SAtk / 96 Spd

Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

Maractus can be a decent grass type sweeper too

It will take opponent's and my team's water type moves to boost the SAtk stat and start Giga Draining opponents

HP Rock against fire and flying types

Toxic against stallers

Any suggestions are appreciated

I'll be honest with you - the same thing that happened here happens with a lot of teams I see get RMT'ed. You included all the info for me to use it, which is fine and dandy, but I see nothing for an explanation outside of what I basically already knew. I know that;

Xatu will use screens and Tailwind to support the team

Thunder Wave to paralyze opponents, and to boost Manectric's SAtk when Beartic is down

I know what the screens do and I know what Tailwind and Thunder Wave can do. What I don't know is where you're running into trouble with the set, and where it shines and synergizes perfectly in the team. More descriptions like how it boosts Manectric's synergy would be good.

That being said, I basically just checked the sets out in minor detail, skimmed the text and didn't look much into it. I'm not going to suggest anything because I don't know what you're struggling with. I also don't know what you're strongest points are, so I might be eliminating those by trying to cover some weakness that I don't even know is relevant or not. I suggest you look more into that when you post these because you'll get the responses you desire. Nice team.

Vaporeon's hidden ability is Hydration, Hydration cures any status problem. You got Maractus so Water Absorb is useless. Proofread your RMT, because I see a lot of errors, and does this team really work?

I used water absorb, because Heal Bell can't be used with Hydration

And I need Heal Bell to cure Beartic when he gets paralyzed or burned :P

It has worked on most battles I've had, especially with Manectric

I've notived that your team lacks a large amount of bulk. Maybe a more defensive Politoed could work? Your only defensive Pokemon is Vaporeon, who you have not invested into Defense at all. A bulkier Politoed also means that you can have a better switch in to Excadrill, who otherwise hits your team really hard.
