Your team had a few flaws where you had Zapdos using Heat Wave in the rain and that's bad. I suggest using Thundurus as a sweeper and not Zapdos because Thunder Wave is more reliable for your team that Tailwind is and Thundurus is fast than Zapdos.

Absol isn't good in VGC, especially when it isn't the mega evolution. It gets knocked out too easily and doesn't leave enough impact on a battle. Its better to invest into another support Pokemon like Rotom-W. Rotom cancels out Landorus' weaknesses, allowing you to safely switch into it when you U-Turn with Landorus.

Rock Slide > Stone Edge on Lando-T because the flinch chance really helps in close games. You can get rid of wide guard uses with the other Pokemon on your team with ease. Perhaps you could run Taunt over Protect on Thundurus if this becomes an issue.

I gave you some fresh EV spreads because 252/252 spreads don't work for all Pokemon in the meta game. This spread allows Politoed to survive a Double Edge from Mega Kang, a Hyper Voice from Sylveon and a Thunderbolt from an offensive Thundurus.

I chose Eject Button just so you can save a space for another move and not waste your time with setting up another rain dance. If you plan to use Rain Dance in the set then you must use a choice scarf to ensure you don't get blasted before you set it up. Ludicolo isn't bulky so 252 HP is a waste. These speed EVs allow you to outspeed a scarfed Landorus-T and the remainder of the EVs are just for more sustain (not bulk)

I woud stay away from the 252/252. Take advantage of Ludicolo Landorus, Zapdos, and Politoed's bulk. You may want to run bullet punch instead of Hammer Arm on Megagross because what does fighting hit that steel cant, plus priority. Rock slide on Lando instead of stone edge as well . Also, focus sash would work better on absol because it is relatively frail and with dark having 3 weaknesses it wont last long in battle. hope this helped Smile
