Hi, I've been set this team in a sapphire scramble challenge.

Dragonite
Alakazam
Slowbro
Manectric
Glalie
Aipom

I don't have Emerald so breeding for natures/IVs is hard so I have bought an Abra from game corner and am going to buy dratini (so no egg moves on those two).

I want to make move sets that can be used mainly on Diamond/Pearl more than this generation.

What do people think of this set?

Dragonite(inner focus) :
Adamant

Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Aerial Ace
Return (will replace with Dragon Dance when is level up move on D/P)

Alakazam (inner focus - i know bad but has good IVs) :
Modest

Psychic
Calm Mind
Shock Wave (unavoidable moves are good)
Thief (will replace with shadow ball on D/P)

Manectric (static)
Modest

Thunderbolt
Thunderwave
Substitute
Crunch (Flamethrower on D/P)

Glalie (inner focus)
Modest

Crunch (Shadow Ball on D/P)
Ice Beam
Light Screen
Explosion

Slowbro (either ability)
Bold

Surf
Psychic
Thunder Wave
Calm Mind

Aipom (run away - so will become technician on D/P)
Adamant
(@choice band) mostly
Return
Brick Break
Toxic
Shadow Ball (Shadow Claw in D/P)

Ok, this is my most up to date team

Good natures but if I were you I would take a second look at the movesets of soe of your pokemon.

Example: SHEER COLD= don't use unless your playing Russian Roulette.
#1 rule DON'T use two attacking moves of the same type unless it is a status inflicting move or a defensive (Counter/ Mirror Coat).

If you're not lazy, just breed for Dragon Dance right now.

Alakazam (inner focus - i know bad but has good IVs) :
Modest

Psychic
Calm Mind
Fire Punch
Thunderpunch/Ice Punch/Recover

unavoidable moves are good
Not if the Pokemon can learn better moves.
Of course, the Punches become Shadow Ball/Focus Bomb in D/P.

Manectric (static)
Modest

Thunderbolt

Psychic
Thunder Wave/Rest
Calm Mind

Aipom (run away - so will become technician on D/P)
Adamant

Return
Brick Break/Baton Pass
Agility

Beat Up is only useful on Blissey It won't do any to any other Pokemon.
You're lucky Aipom evolves, lol.

I'm happy with the above two as they are to be honest becuase I don't want to breed. Especially with Alakazam as the punches will be useless in D/P.

OK, i'll take Sheer Cold off, but spikes are useless in-game, maybe reflect or light screen?
Explosion

Slowbro (either ability)
Bold

Surf
Psychic
Thunder Wave
Calm Mind

Aipom (run away - so will become technician on D/P)
Adamant

Return
Brick Break
I was thinking about a baton passing agility aipom, but I didn't think his defences would survive it. Any other suggestions? (bearing in mind 100 attack/115 speed in D/P)
Shadow Ball (Shadow Claw in D/P)

Edit: Ok thanks for the help, I'm going to bed now, but will check to see if there are any more suggestions tomorrow.

Reflect or Light Screen would be nice seeing as how Slowbro is the only one with good defenses.

Aipom @Choice Band
Adamant
-Return
-Shadow Ball
-Aerial Ace
-Brick Break

Ok, I will put light screen on Glalie.

Hmmm, aerial ace won't often be that useful because even if super effective STABed return is stronger.

I will put toxic on Aipom, but will mostly use him as a choice bander.


Thanks again for the help.

I think that the Aerial Ace is there simply to kill breloom and heracross as both are fighting types that would kill you (and probably still will) and both get hit for 4x damage.

Also Aipom can’t learn anything better for the CB set until D/P, where it gets Fake Out and Somersault.

Ok, good point. I will use aerial ace. As its in game it will hopefully get a boost in speed from the (dynamo?) badge which let make it go first anyway (plus higher level).
