just like the title said, one of my first serious tries to build a (hopefully) decent rain team
i'm grateful for any advice on this teams weaknesses, what I could generally improve about it, etc.
Thanks in advance

Hallo
Sinistcha and pelipper are good choices for a rain team, and toxicroak is nice to be more supportive/offensive under rain
Giga drain on serperior is bad because there's no coverage, and you can't snowball leaf storm if u get kod by something else
Ur revolving a bit too much under rain with no counter to it and ur pressure takes a bit long to get going
Maybe ditch palafin for another pokemon
As much as I don't like being devils advocate maybe yard would work
so generally you want a mega evolution
Also yeah a mega is needed
Ditch the palafin and serp slots for maybe a dual mega or one mega and one offensive mon
Also golisopod gives you a horrid matchup
Sorry, with snowball you mean what exactly? (im kinda new to comp / vgc mb)
Like do a lot of damage/sweep
snowball as in get out of control
yk how things snowball out of control
ahhh I see
if you're tryna build rain
i would highly highly highly reccomend archaludon
Oh yeah archa too
Who exactly are you referring to with yard 
mega charizard y
Charizard y
Yeah I thought about archaludon as well
ahhh ye
so kinda like this
Charizard Y
Archaludon
Milotic
Pelipper
Toxicroak
Sinistcha
Sounds cohesive
I'll try that out
tysm for your help already
Ur welcome
I have leftovers on milotic rn but I guess archuladon would profit more from that, right?
but toxicroak has sitrus already 
I get that completely, but I also have pelipper carrying the sash so I get tailwind
