You've got the right idea so far:

- Feraligatr is missing STAB Water, and with Raikou being able to use Rain Dance, this is a big issue. Waterfall is a must-have here, probably best over Shadow Claw since the only coverage that really grants you is against Shedinja, who you won't likely see in the later stages of the Frontier anyway. You may want a different hold item as well, since Sitrus Berry will inconvenience Feraligatr's sweeping ability by rendering Torrent somewhat useless - something like Liechi Berry, Salac Berry or a simple Muscle Band will do.

- Raikou could do with a Damp Rock here, and the main reason for this is because both Scizor and Feraligatr do pretty well in the rain, Scizor suffering less from his vicious Fire-type weakness, and Feraligatr receiving a power boost from it. Thunder over Thunderbolt is an obvious pick to go with the rain too.

- Scizor would probably prefer something like Superpower or Brick Break over Night Slash, since Steel-types will wall him otherwise. All good besides that.
