or, you can try the SubSeeder:

-Substitute

Don't waist his good Base Attack (credit goes to Randomn00b for this because he told me this several months ago), hence, Sucker Punch in the set. You shouldn't have to not include a Physical move in any of his sets.

or there are options of pure Physical or pure Special (with and without Choice Specs/Band/Scarf) [PS;You will know which one is which when you look at the set]:

Honchkrow @ Life Orb/Choice Band
Nature:Adamant/Jolly
Moves:
Sucker Punch
Drill Peck
Thunder Wave/Night Slash
Steel Wing

Use Thunder Wave with Life Orb,and Night Slash with Choice Band.

Honchkrow @ Life Orb/Choice Specs/Choice Scarf

Moves:
Dark Pulse
Psychic
Hidden Power Fighting
Steel Wing/Sucker Punch

Gallade @ Expert Belt

umm... actually i don't know how to breed a certain type of hidden power....
 
if i want to replace someone else for honchkrow, what will be a nice choice? (and also the move set)
 
azeem, stop recommending Hidden Power for ingame teams. Nobody's going to want to breed 1140725028+ hours just to get the right Hidden Power type with a decent power. =/ You can add it as an option (if people are lucky, for example), but ALWAYS provide an alternative. Please.

Now then:

Dragon Pulse > Hidden Power [Ice] on azeem's Charizard set.

Dragon Dance can go over Crunch for Feraligatr.

Use azeem's physical Honchkrow set. I don't really like Sucker Punch ingame since the AI is horribly unpredictable. Night Slash is more reliable and takes advantage of Super Luck, so use it. Fly can be used as your Flying-type move since it has good power, near-perfect accuracy, and is actually viable ingame because the AI rarely switches. For the fourth move you can use Thunder Wave, or Sucker Punch if you really want it. Taunt works well with Sucker Punch if you want to use them together.
 
actually which is better: absol or honchkrow? i'm thinking of using absol to replace honchkrow

Absol @ Super Luck
Adamant Nature @ Choice Band / Muscle Band <- please tell me which is better
-Taunt / X Scissor / Double Edge maybe?
-Sucker Punch / Night Slash
-Psycho Cut
-Sword Dance

If you read my latter post,I said "Then don't use Hidden Power, OR go to http://faqs.ign.com/articles/885/885667p1.html"

Absol has more attack and speed, but Honchcrow has more HP and a Ground-Type Immunity, up to you.

For Absol:

Absol@ Super Luck
Jolly Nature@ Choice Band
-Night Slash
-Psycho Cut
-X Scissors
-Rock Smash/Fire Blast

This is what I would recoment for a Choice Band set, for the final moveslot take your pick of your way of dealing with fires.

If you want a Sword Dancing Absol use this:

Absol@ Super Luck
Jolly (He has enough Power for In Game)@ Life Orb/Scope Lens/Muscle Band
-Night Slash
-Sword Dance
-Psycho Cut
-X-Scissors/Rock Smash

For the items you choose according to preference, Scope Lens if you want a crit hit, Life Orb for a power boost for all your attacks with a price of 10% of your HP, and Muscle Band if you don't like Life Orb recoil

If you ask me, I would go with Chaoice Band In Game, as you'll be able to sweep most teams with one move, bar Elite 4 and BT
 
what if i wanted to change my sceptile into meganium or venusaur? would this be a good choice?

Meganium
Lonely Nature @ Scope Lens
Leaf Storm
Body Slam
Razor Leaf
Sword Dance

Venusaur
Lonely / Naughty Nature @ Muscle Band / Choice Band
Body Slam
Razor Leaf / Seed Bomb
Sword Dance
Leaf Storm

they basically have the same moveset...

if i pick scope lens, it will be a very high chance of using critical hit everytime

Meganium

Venusaur

Razor Leaf / Seed Bomb
Sword Dance
Leaf Storm
 
I actually like your current team's movesets. Keep 'em of they work, because how I see it, it's pretty well balanced. I've said it before and I'll say it again: This team needs little to no improvement. All your movesets are near-perfect. At least, that's how I see it. If you hadn't already posted those movesets, I would have suggested myself. I hope I'm not praising you too much. And Venusaur might work better than Meganium if you want an attacker. Go with Meganium if you want a supporter. Here are some movests just in case.

Venusaur @ Life Orb
Lonely Nature
Ability: Overgrow
252 HP/252 sp.atk/6 atk
-Earthquake
-Seed Bomb/Giga Drain
-Sludge Bomb
-Leech Seed/Sleep Powder

I designed it as a sort of tank. I know Venusaur's sp.atk is better than its atk, but I only put Earthquake on to deal with Fire-types.

Meganium @ Leftovers/Light Clay
Relaxed Nature
Ability: Overgrow
252 HP/129 def/129 sp.def
-Leech Seed
-Reflect
-Light Screen
-Giga Drain/Poison Powder

Could work as your wall. I don't know. Not sure if this is novelty or not. A bad novelty though, if you ask me. Hope I helped.

Meganium @ Leftovers
Nature:Bold
Moves:
Energy Ball
Aromatherapy
Light Screen/Reflect
Leech Seed/Synthesis

From smogon.

Venusaur @ Leftovers
Nature:Bold
Moves:
Grass Knot/Energy Ball
Leech Seed/Synthesis
Sleep Powder
Sludge Bomb/Hidden Power Fire

Grass Knot vs Energy Ball.Grass Knot is mainly for heavier pokes like Milotic,Groudon,and Steelix,while Energy Ball is more reliable with its 80 base power and ability to drop SpD while hitting heavy pokes decently.Leech Seed vs Synthesis.Leech Seed will heal teammates and yourself,while Synthesis is for self-healing and also due to lack of Sand Stream in-game (except for one). Sleep Powder is a given.Sludge Bomb vs Hidden Power Fire.Sludge Bomb will hit pure Grass types super-effective,but Hidden Power Fire is superior due to its wider coverage.If you hate Hidden Powers,use Sludge Bomb.

Hope I helped.

If you're planning to use this in the BT, then you might want to watch out. After 28 consecutive wins, they start sending out more dragontamers than usual, and most of them have Tyranitar on their team. Just a word of warning. If not the BT, then it's fine. With the exception of Route 228.
