Dragonite can abuse Rain a lot!
Dragonite
Multiscale
Timid
4 HP/252 Sp Atk/252 Spd
@Life Orb
Thunder
Dragon Pulse/Aqua Tail
Hurricane
Roost
Both your Hurricane and Thunder get 100% accuracy. Dragon Pulse is for STAB but Aqua Tail gets a boost in the rain. It also helps against Rock Types in a Sandstorm. They get a 50% Sp Def boost in the sand so you're just going to go for their unboosted Defense Stat. Then Roost is for Recovery after your Life Orb deals recoil. It's also useful for avoiding possible Blizzards, Ice Beams, etc.
Then there's always Swft Swimmers. I don't know if you are going by the usual rules or not but I always see a Kingdra and a Ludicolo on a rain team when I did the one wifi tournament. If you want to diversify you could use Pokemon that are x4 weak to fire since their power is weakened during the rain like the ever so useful wall known as Ferrothorn. With Ferrothorn you could also go with Jellicent, another wall. When combined with a Pokemon that can use Surf it becomes a deadly yet slow force.
Ferrothorn
Iron Barbs
Careful/Sassy
252 HP/128 Def/128 Sp Def
Leftovers/Rocky Helmet
Gyro Ball
Power whip
Leech Seed
Spikes
Most Pokemon on weather teams I don't believe fly or float so Spikes is viable. Then there's Leech Seed which is reliable recovery. Gyro Ball is good since you're slow and Power Whip is a powerful STAB
Jellicent
Water Absorb
Bold
252 HP/4 Def/252 Sp Def
Leftovers/Absorb Bulb
Water Spout
Recover
Night Shade
Energy Ball/Will-O-Wisp
Water Spout is a super strong STAB and partnered with someone who can use Surf it's deadly because you can get recovery. If you use the above Dragonite or even the Politoed and pair it up with this Pokemon you can replace Scald and Aqua Tail with Surf. It's stronger than Scald and more reliable than Aqua Tail. Now, I'm not so sure if the Absorb Bulb works if you're hit while you ahve Water Absorb, but if it does work you're just making your Water Spout even better. Recover is also reliable recovery. Night Shade is super powerful and Energy Ball can supply coverage while Will-O-Wisp can force switches or cripple physical sweepers which would threaten your weaker defense.
Another good thing in the rain is the Volt-Turn stradegy. You could have a Choice Band Scizor and a Choice Scarf Rotom-W. Rotom could also have Thunder in case you want to predict they're going to use a fire move and instead hit them with a 180 BP never missing Electric move. Hydro Pump is also an option if they're resistant to Electric moves. Scizor can also be a little different. You could use the other common stradegy with Scizor which is Technician and Priority abuse.
Scizor
Technician
Jolly/Adamant
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
@Choice Band/Flying Gem
Bullet Punch
U-Turn
Double Hit
Acrobatics
The Flying Gem moveset allows more diversity, however, the Choice Band set allows more power.
Rotom-W
Levitate
Timid
4 HP/252 Sp Atk/252 Spd
@Choice Scarf
Hydro Pump
Volt Switch
Thunder
Trick
This set has a lot of potential. Although two electric moves isn't good, but they work so well.
If all of the teams you're going against have something to do with weather, I'd also keep a bug type with a strong Bug-Type move for Abomasnow. You should also keep some kind of Pokemon to take down Ninetales, Hippowdon, and Tyranitar. They're all easily taken care of by water moves and Tyranitar's mroe common than Hippowdown so Ground Moves could work too.
Other Pokemon that could work are Milotic and the Toxic Orb/Flame Orb+Marvel Scale for another wall or you could go with the Hydration+Rest stradegy.

stall happens to be my new favorite too! anyway, you only have one phazer, and its weak to special attacks. to remedy this, i suggest umbreon, the same one i posted in my rmt. check it out. umbreon has good synergy with this team, taking psychic attacks aimed at tentacruel, dark at jelli, and the rest of the team covering its weaknesses. itll leave you more special defensively oriented though.

Right, hold on! I was kind of thinking Tornadus as Modest/Timid with HP Ice, but Hammer Arm I think works better to smash Blissey and Chansey. I'm doing homework right now, so I'll update later.
Metalcore>All
never use multiscale and life orb. its useless. leftovers is a much better item.
i really like this set. very unique. that flying gem....linteresting....Another good thing in the rain is the Volt-Turn stradegy. You could have a Choice Band Scizor and a Choice Scarf Rotom-W.

Volt-Turn I'm not too interested in. Dragonite seems intersting:

~Hurricane
~Dragon Tail/Outrage
~Thunder Wave/Thunder
~Earthquake
You A Stupid Hoe.
Nope. What is the point of HP Ice? To hit Mence/Dnite for x4 damage? That's the only benefit I see. Gliscor will fall to Specs Hurricane, and Hurricane hits harder than x2 HP ice. Mence will fall to a Hurricane, and Hurricane is a 2KO on Dnite, just like HP Ice would be.
I don't see where you're going with this Dnite.
Goodbye friends. My Pokémon drive is reaching zero, so I'm gonna go do other stuffs. Love you all. c:

Well I wanted the SpAtk Boost but still having versatility. I guess Lefties is best, but do you think, although it's not used often, Wiseglasses would work?

and Im pretty sure hammer arm wont KO blissey anyways.
Metalcore>All
are you kidding me? just about any physical attack has the potential to ko blissey. hammer arm being se, can ohko. it has the potential.

You A Stupid Hoe.
200 base power coming from 266 Atk. You think it wouldn't KO Blissey? Maybe not Chansey, but not Blissey? HAHAHA. No.
You never gave an argument for why use HP Ice.

OK. We get Tornadus. A spinner is now needed. I was thinking Tentacruel; Black Sludge/Leftovers+Rain Dish= good =D. And it has some decent SpD. I'll update later.
The One and Only
Plus Toxic Spikes.
You may want a wall, or someone to take care of Terrakion. Jellicent should to the trick.

i'm thinking of doing a bp team using 3 sweepers. a mixed, physical, and octillery. tier is either uu or ru, depending on suggestions. any suggestions?

I take it Octillary is Special?
I would suggest Venomoth. It's an excellent Quvier Dancer, and Octiallary loves Quiver Dance.
Another good one is Scolipede. It has high Speed, as well as access to Swords Dance and Agility. With Focus Sash and after an Agility, it should be able to use at least one Baton Pass.
I would also suggest having a spinner, just in case. It's to prevent the Sash from being broken and stuff.
Recurring Trainer
I need help for the last two slots of my team.
So far I have
Dual screens Foretress
Swordsdance Infernape
Sunnyday/tailwind Whimsicott
Shellsmash Cloyster
...I need something to counter fighting and psychic types
I was thinking of using Hydreigon to counter psychic, maybe zoroark (I really don't trust his defenses though.)
I'm not quite sure what the sixth slot should be though.
Supreme Battle Frontier Champion
Blissey's physical bulk is actually fairly decent if invested. I've used it and it survived a Hariyama's Cross Chop.'

As of August 18th 2012, I resigned as a CG leader.

ok. if invested, it will survive 2 se attacks. still, not good.

So invest some Attack EVs into Tornadus, I guess. STAB Hurricane already kills so much, even without all of the SP. Atk EVs.
:)
Considering I have used life orb hammer arm torney, i think yes, it wont OHKO bliss, or heatran, or chansey.
