Alright, now we're in business. The team is looking much better, and it utilizes that Bulky Offense quality I mentioned in my earlier posts perfectly. You might want to switch Thunder Wave for Wish on Jirachi, since Body Slam will do most of the paralyzing anyways. I'm iffy about Extremespeed on Dnite, as it has pros and cons to replacing substitute. Play around with it a bit and see what works for you. So yeah, great team man, you've made some really good improvements! Just ask if you'd ever want to playtest on Showdown or something.
Thanks ShadowLugia! My ranking right now on Pokemon Online is around 1140, which means I'm getting near the topper of the ladder.
Nice team. I've been messing around with a rain team this morning, and I think that something you should consider is abusing Pokemon with rain abilities more. Whilst swift swim isn't allowed with dirzzle, I would consider some of the following pokemon with rain abusing abilities:
1) Lapras. Lapras has hydration has it's dream world ability, meaning it can heal status ailments at the end of every turn in rain. This plus rest and solid defensive stats make lapras a tough pokemon to take down. I would run either a curse or a dragon dance set, whichever takes your fancy. Just make sure to include rest, as hydration cancels out the sleep! I'd run lapras over jirachi, personally.
2) Toxicroak. I'd just Toxicroak over breloom. With leftovers and dry skin you're healing lots of HP every turn, and if you run drain punch as well toxicroak becomes tough to take down. Sub-punch is a nice option, but it means you have to run two fighting type attacks which is limiting toxicroak's diversity. Definitely look into using toxicroak though, it is almost as strong as breloom normally and so on a rain team it becomes an awesome pokemon.
3) Lastly, I'd take a look at Ludicolo. You could use ludicolo as another alternative to Jirachi, but I wouldn't use Ludicolo AND Lapras given your current team. Rain dish and leftovers are just a great combination, and a nice sub-seed set will be great to use.
Another thing I'd consider is using Tornadus over Thundurus. Hurricane will serve you well, and you can put thunder on starmie if you really miss it that much.
Have fun

Thanks! Just for the record, I've switched to Tornadus-T about 2 weeks ago. I will look at Toxicroak because I've found myself lacking offensively and I have problems with Toxic Spikes. However though, I will keep Breloom though because I find that he does lots of damage against fast and hard hitting Pokemon like Terrakion, and since Starmie dies easily, Breloom is often my only option left. Instead, I'll probably switch out Dragonite because while I've made him more bulky, I lost some priority and he really does not do much for me in the Rain because his only coverage move is weakened and on the recommendation of some guy on Pokemon Online, I've also lost a source of priority. I really don't want to switch Jirachi out for Lapras to be honest, because if I do, I will lose my only source of entry hazard (It has only Stealth Rock). Sorry about that. I've also updated Starmie and added Thunder as it will also help counter the evil Slowtroll (Slowbro).
