Battle frontier movesets?

The End

Sea Ruby Trainer
I'm raising some level 50 parties to 100, as they are EV trained, which means that I have fresh 50s to use for BF.

I tend to use the Pokemon I like to use, not the ones that are used on walkthroughs to finish the game *like a challenge*

Any recommended movesets for these Pokemon?

Pikachu - Lightball

Reversal/Brick Break/Hidden Power *hopefully water*
Thunderbolt
Double Team
Volt Tackle *kamikaze, since Thunder dance doesnt really work on BF*

Snorlax - Quick Claw

Belly Drum
Snore
Body Slame
Rest

Ninjask -

Protect
Substitute
Slash
Swords Dance

Sceptile -

Golem -

Can anyone assist?

I was against the double up myself, I would use the Volt Tackle as a kamikaze move *like Explosion, Self Destruct* Plus I like Pikachu, with his light ball. *only because I loved the Pikachu in the anime series*

Thanks :).

I have a question. I noticed that some of these pokemon moves have to go through breeding. What pokemon do I have to use to get their moves.

Sceptile for Thunderpunch and Dragon Claw for a good example.

Also, what pokemon with natures cut the steps for hatching an egg?

Also, I caught Heracross and Teddiursa, that I tend to breed and EV train.

Could any recommend movets for Heracross, Houndoom and Ursaring please? Normally I'd go to Smogon, but they are going through changes at the moment, and the movepools aren't up.
