SS OU How can I fix this mess of a team?

[NewToBattlesNana]

I have to make a team featuring Starmie for a server challenge. I cannot use legendaries, mythicals, or any pokemon above OU
I tried to combine all my strategies together into one team but.. It looks like a mess. Can I get some help? Here's the team in question.

Timid Nature

Wdym description? (Also HECK YEAH Oddish for life)

 

[Heavyweapons Mann]

Descriptions would be like providing at least three lines for each team member, like what the role is and the purpose of the set for each mon overall.

Ok feedback time babyyy

as for stunfisk you said it’s role is as a defensive stealth rock setter it could be replaced with ferrothorn (its fire weakness is decreased in rain) ferrothorn offers a ton of resistances with its steel typing :)

Toxapex is a good Pokémon I would just do some fixing on the set replacing liquidation with scald.

dragonite doesn’t really have a place on a rain team ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you could replace it with something like baraskewda (who is very strong with choiceband swift swim)

Volcarona also doesn’t really have a place on a rain team you said you wanted fire coverage whitch you could replace with something like flashfire heatran or swift swim seismitoad

pelipper is based and the best rain setter you could replace specs with heavy duty boots or damp rock
and maybe replace protect with Defog as your team as it is is weak to knock off + stealthrocks/spikes

starmie is decent with anyalytic maybe replace expert belt with choice specs.

have a nice day and definitely continue exploring competitive it’s super fun :)

 

[Dusk Mage Necrozma]

or any pokemon above OU

not sure why you had to specify this, given this is an OU team

Fancy1 just made pretty much all the points I would have. Pex is kinda awkward on a rain team because it's stacking weaknesses with your Water attackers: maybe go with AV Glowking instead?

Im not sure if I really like Volcarona on rain. You could swap if for the other Volc, Volcanion, is you wanted fire coverage. If you wanted to go with rain, I think you should be doubling down instead kinda a normal team with two rain mons slapped on at the end, almost as if they were just an afterthought. I also gotta ask what the Volcarona and Dnite spreads are for, not that they’re bad, Im just curious as to what purpose they serve. Im also not really sure about Stunfisk as your ground type, theres so many better options in OU like Landorus, Garchomp, and even some more niche ones like Hippo, Drill, or Nidoking. Same with Starmie as a rain abuser, Urshifu, Barraskewda, Crawdaunt and probably some others Im forgetting all outclass Starmie in spamming high power water moves in rain, and if you want thunder spam, Zapdos is right there and also gets weather ball. Lele is also a hige threat here. To sum up my thoughts, I think that the mons on the team just don’t work very well together, some of your picks just have better options to do what they do, and some of your sets are a little odd.
