Zangoose
Nature: Adamant
-Return
-Shadow Ball
-Brick Break
-Swords Dance

Flygon
Nature: Adamant

-Rock Slide
-Quick Attack/Screech/Fire Blast
-Quick Attack/Screech/Fire Blast

Latias
Nature: Modest
-Calm Mind

No, I meant the Battle Frontier, not the forums. :)
As for the team, I don't think I need to say anything. Pika Egg's team suggestion is good enough.

2 blastiose hyperbeam,surf,hydro cannon,ice beam
3 swampert hyper beam,surf ,dive and water fall
4 venusaur hyper beam,earthquake,cut and solar beam
5 sceptile dragon claw,hyper beam,leaf blade,and cut
6 metagross hyper beam,confusion,shadow ball,metor mash

Yeah I was thinking of Metagross. And all of those are nice heavy hitters. But mabye someone more agile and a stat reducer. See I dont usually support the "destroy all with no remorse tactic" im more of a strategic person.:D

Good grief....just say no to Hyper Beam, Hydro Cannon, Cut, multiple moves of the same type on any pokemon, etc.....

If you want to use Metagross, go for:

Metagross
Nature: Adamant
-EQ
-Meteor Mash
-Agility/Explosion/Sludge Bomb
-Agility/Explosion/Sludge Bomb

If you use Explosion and Sludge Bomb, give it a Choice Band, otherwise go for Leftovers. I'd either go for that or Agility + Explosion.

As for Flygon, I don't see what's so vague about my suggestions.. Choose two of the three moves for the last two slots. I'd go for Screech and Quick Attack, but that requires breeding, whereas Screech and FireBlast does not and lets you hit physical walls. Quick Attack and FireBlast gives you an all-out attacker.

OK thats a good idea for Metagross. And I think Ill go with Sceptile since hes one of my favorites and hes a good addition.
 

Pika Egg

Veteran newbie ^_^
Well adding Sceptile makes half your team weak to Ice... but if you still want to use it:

Sceptile
Nature: Timid
-Leaf Blade
-Leech Seed
-Thunderpunch
-Substitute

A-WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Ack!! I never thought about that. Good thing I have Arcanine.*whew* Thanks for the heads up.

Except for the fact that most Pokémon with Ice attacks are also Water types. If you want to beat that, you need a Water type of your own or a special wall (like Snorlax, Blissey, and Regice).

A-WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I do have a Snorlax with thick fat.... Thatll work right?
 

Shayden XD

A-WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
No need to be sarcastic-_-. What should it know?

What? How was I being sarcastic?!? o_O;;

Snorlax @Leftovers
-Body Slam/Return
-Earthquake/Shadow Ball
-Rest
-Curse/Sleep Talk
