I actually had ludicolo on the team originally, but I was worried with all the Talonflame, but since I'm running a rain team, and I have M Swampert and Rotom to deal with it, I will probably put it on

@Eckley I would put talonflame on the team over rotom-f. Most of the common pokemon that counter rain teams are grass types which talon destroys. Ferrothorn also gives rain teams trouble so you can hit it with a fire type attack from talon outside of the rain.
If politoed is ev'd to survive a brave bird it can always ko opposing talonflames, I saw thats why you are running rotom-f
@Tygaa
Yeah that's why Rotom-F is in the team, but I just calced and politoed can survive a CB adamant 252 Attack BB from Talonflame. But Rotom was also in the team to burn Physical attackers, Specifically M Kang, Landorus and Garchomp, because it's been EV'd to be a 3HKO from landorus-t rock slide. It also survives M Kang Adamant 252 Attack return, however I've noticed double edge is getting more popular, and it has a 37.5% chance to OHKO my rotom with this EV spread.
If I put talonflame in, who could I run in the last spot?
