pult is so good because he can run a lot of sets, each with their weaknesses but you really dont know what they are running till they act
he doesnt have a good move for toxapex and he isnt terribly bulky so try to make it difficult for him to come in so easily
often times people will switch him in expecting rapid spin since he is ghost and blocks it so having a move for that on your spinner helps alot, ice punch on my hitmonchan for example

definitely peliper for drizzle, you will want an offensive swift swimmer to take advantage of the rain too, make sure to have your inherent water heaviness in mind when making the movesets for your team, no point in making a team that all dies to thunderbolt, having vika and thorn helps, just make sure you can actually kill the electric types, not just switch into them

edit: barraskweda is an amazing swift swim mon, and seismitoad is a great bulky water type that handles electric pokemon with ease

cant attest to switch online too much but if you play pokemon showdown you should be fine with the other low ladder players
also ludicolos rain mixed with char and arcanine is no good, try for a sun team if you wanna use those tbh, use torkoal or ninetailes with drought, solar power charizard if you have it

im still an amateur but ill share my gameplan if it helps any
my team centers around my using my defensive core of spd ferrothorn and def toxapex to pressure with chip damage and hazards and switching into dragupult on rapid spin, morpeko on pychic type moves and gyarados on ground type moves and whittling their team down till i can sweep with my max airstream gyarados
having switch ins to my opponents answers to my defensive options that are fast and have u-turn (pult and peko) allow me to open holes in my opponents team till their checks are gone and someone can sweep
oh and my main man hitmonchan with boots handles hazard removal

this is in 6v6 tho in 3s i just shorten it to tox pult gyara with the same plan

yeah team comp is really important, you can find more detailed compositions in the smogon forums or even just watch high level play and steal their teams, thats where most people start
