How to make a Pokemon Team with Synergy?

Last night I was reading on smogon that to make a good pokemon team your pokemon need to help each other and cover each others weaknesses, so you can't just slap 6 good pokem on a team and expect we win. So I decided to remake my rain dance team and make it around Politoed, Latios, and probably Gyrados. Except I can't come up with pokemon that will completely fit in with them. I was thinking Scizor or Togiss but I'm not sure. And also a pokemon immune to electric types like a ground type or a volt absorb ability would fit in well because Politoed and Gyrados have a weakness to electric. Anyway can someone tell me some pokemon I should add to this team? Also here are the move sets which might need to be tweaked later:

Politoed (drizzle)

Surf, ice beam, protect, toxic

Gyrados

Waterfall, dragon Dance, earthquake, (stone edge)??

Latios

Pyshock, Draco meteor, calm mind, surf

Update:

For Gyrados I'm adding dragon tail to the set instead of stone edge

    Scizor is a good option for a rain team, since it gives you a little variety in the typing of your team. The rain also lessens Scizor's severe and only weakness, fire. So Scizor likes the rain. Lanturn's not a bad idea either, since if it has Volt Absorb, it'll be immune to electric attacks, and can dish out its own electric attacks against opposing water types. Suppossedly theres a Volcarona set that actually functions well in the rain (which is funny and useful since its a fire type). Look it up on Smogon. I think Dragonite also works well in the rain. And Kindra with Swift Swim can be pretty good too. You may want to teach Latios Thunder instead of Surf. Dragon and Electric attacks on the same pokemon are pretty beastly*cough* Zekrom*cough*. If you can, teach Gyarados Bounce. If not, Stone Edge is fine, since it works well with Earthquake. You may want to include a fighting type for Sandstorm teams, since those are often filled with Tyranitar and Rock and Steel types.

    I'm no expert on weather teams, but I hope this helps.

    The whole thing is just right however for umbreon delete mean appear and baton pass substitute them with final inn and confuse ray. And the starter you can use totodile if viable. If now not then go along with both charzard or Torterra. Hope this helps
