My Roomate is trying to make a competitive Pokemon team but wants to be a special snowflake and have his obscure "favorite pokemon" on his team. how can i talk him out of this so he can actually stand a chance in battles?

He can definitely run Farfetch'd as long as he makes sure it's a Baton Pass team.

he wants a rain team so he can use Thunder on his Raichu but refuses to run Politoed for Drizzle and wants rain dance/perish song Lapras.

And have the opponent be kind enough to let the duck switch in safely since any attack OHKOs it.

Well you technically can run rain without politoed, expect it to be slightly harder to fix your weather should it change though.

singles probably but he has interest in doubles too since he's the kind of hipsterfag who will do whatever is less popular

Raichu works much better as an encorer with Fake Out support for doubles, and Volt Tackle does massive damage considering it's a support mon.

That's what you should do. Give advice on how best it could use whatever shitmon he wants. And that he uses some good pokemon as well.

Help him in two ways, first make few NU/RU or whatever tier the shit he wants teams are so you he can run his favorite shit. You don't have to go full autism pentaperfect; 3IVs or 4IVs would work well enough because your only goal is have fun with your friend.
Secondly, make him a few core IV/EV bred UU and OU guys. Since you already have 5iv motherfuckers kicking around, you can give him some breeding stock and team cores so you aren't forced to play his one stupid team over and over again.

Actually there is a third way which is play some of the super retarded formats like mixed tiers (No more than 2 OU, 2 UU, and 2RU/NU), monotype, color teams, little cup et cetera.

Megadactyl is actually a very solid pokemon, its movepool is lacking sure but it at least has some items to play around with and with its speed, outspeedng a lot of threats and hitting hard thanks to tough claws really carves it some use. If it had a decent flying and/or rock move to abuse with its ability then it could easily push BL at least

he wont battle me until he has his "dream team" finished.
he's got autism i swear, he wouldnt beat the E4 in oras until he bred a 6IV pikachu so he could solo E4 with a lv.100 raichu (raichu is his favorite)

By the way, really, show him Smogon's viability rankings.
This way he'll be able to choose decent pokemon for their tier.

I see it being able to tear away at things like Lando-T and Heatran, but things like Scarf Keldeo and Mew and Rotom-W and even Mega Lop (assuming Aero is adamant) clear it rather easily. Also Mega Sableye and Azu.

Let him make this dream team he talks about, don't hold out information on him, give him recommendations about teammates, tell him about coverage, tell him about stall and the likes and why being prepared for it is important.

And when he crosses everything you taught him in favor of his karenfaggotory, ruin him in a 6v6 battle. There is only one way to learn about Pokémon.
