More footage of the Rain/hail team me and Mikurulatios2 made. As you can see, Deoxys is not a part of the team, thats because it was simply a filler for a pokemon that doesnt work as well in friend battles; Dusknoir.
Dusknoir's purpose is to hinder trick room related teams by using imprison to seal Trick Room, and due to Dusknoir's bulk, he can take a beating before being knocked out. Imprison also prevents the opponent Protect and Icy Wind from being used since they are on Dusknoir's moveset. Plus if Trick Room does get set up, Dusknoir can put it down if needed. The downside is that Dusknoir is basically a sitting duck after imprison goes up, since Icy Wind doesnt do much, and Dusknoir has to stay in the battle for Imprison to remain in effect.
