I never tried this, knocking off a focus sash from a full hp pokémon will faint it or will let it with 1 HP?
They damage is dealt before the effect... I think.... Focus sash is put into effect, but for some reason, red card isn't... :/

anyone mind looking at my rain dance team and telling me a good hydration dual screen user or should I stick with espeon? I use Espeon mostly just so Azumaril will survive to sweep. The perish songs are there to force a switch. I am mostly looking for swift swim dual screen user or a hydration one.

should I add another rain dance user?

I am also missing fire coverage.

my team is vulnerable to togekiss I notice. The only thing I can think of is to add thunder wave somehwere, but not sure where.

this is my team presently

This team is looking okay, but here is how I would make it!

Azumarill @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Belly Drum
- Superpower (bounce gives them a turn to switch, and it doesn't give you the greatest coverage)
- Play Rough

Aggron @ Aggronite
Ability: Heavy Metal
- Curse
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Heavy Slam
This aggron set is great!

Espeon @ Light Clay
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP (This makes it able to set screens on any opponent) / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Baton Pass
- Calm Mind
Besides the different EV spread, you're good!

This goodra set is interesting, but isn't the best thing to have on a rain team.
Goodra @ Expert Belt
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 252 HP / 8 Sp. Atk / 248 SDef
Modest Nature (So You can actually do some damage)
- Thunder (has 100% accuracy in the rain, gives some togekiss protection)
- Ice Beam (For coverage)
- Dragon Pulse
- Rest

So I get this politoed is an anti-screens lead, but screens are very uncommon. And perish song isn't very useful, unless you are against the last pokemon. I think you should change it to a Special offensive Tank.
Politoed @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 8 Sp. Atk / 248 Def (No sp. Def, because you already have goodra w/ that job)
Careful Nature
- Scald
- Protect (To scout out your opponent)
- Toxic (For the sake of status)
- Haze (I love this! :D)

Now, you already have two water types, I think that Lapras should be scrapped. I think you should use a different physical attacker.
PS, fire is weaker in the rain, so fire coverage isn't wanted normally.
PPS, some stats have 248 because only 8 EVs equal a stat at level 50, so 252 wastes 4 EVs that could be used to give yourself one extra stat in a different area.

I will give it a shot. You think Beatric might be good for my physical attacker? swift swim should make up for its speed deficiency
