I don't have any more earthquake or shadowball TM's so that's a problem,
CB and Leftovers can't be used as hold item for everyone - this is BF you know,
do you know about anything i could use instead?

But thanks anyway. =)

Oh okay, I don't have emerald so I didn't know.
Shell bell? Brightpowder/Lax incense? Use what you have.

Ok, and about that shadow ball TM i just found out that i didn't use it.
So which one of my team members should have it?
;289; Slaking
OR
;169; Crobat
OR
;376; Metagross

If you needed to, Slaking, Crobat could annoy if it needed to and Metagross could use psychic or something. DON'T take my advice or you may regret it.

Don't worry, i'll wait until my Zubat is a Crobat and until my Metang is a Metagross, so it'll take some time before this team will be ready for action.

Smogon Should help with EVs and natures. and those hax items need to go , the only worthwhile items are Choice Band , Leftovers , and Shell bell as sub for lefties , salac , chesto [Snorlax] , and lum. and a few other berries. those are the only good hold items.

Psychic for metagross and dont use explosion, I tried it for my emerald BF team and it didn't work. You need every pkmn alive when you face your enemies, so use shadow ball or something.

It's not that i'll use explosion as my first move in a fight, it's just there as a last resort when Metagross is nearly fainted.

Arguing with the standard set is foolish.

Slaking @ Choice Band
Return
Hyper Beam
Focus Punch
Shadow Ball

I detest the fact that you have CB Hyper Beam on that set. Try Earthquake.

Houndoom @ Lax Incense I don't like Hax items. Try leftovers again.
Flamethrower
Crunch
Roar
???

HP Grass is your last move.

Metagross @ Leftovers Choice Band
Meteor Mash
Explosion
Rock Slide
???

Sludge Bomb works well.

Crobat @ Shell Bell Choice Band
Sludge Bomb
HP(flying/Earth/Fighting)/Return
Confuse Ray
Return/Air Cutter

Here's the right set.

Sludge Bomb
HP Ground
Shadow Ball
Aerial Ace

You do have the option of HP Fighting like chaos suggested, but I prefer Ground since it takes care of Electric- and Rock-types easily.

Starmie @ Lum Berry Leftovers
Psychic
Ice Beam
Surf
Recover

You've got to have BoltBeam on this guy. Ditch Psychic.

Ok, that's that any suggestions?

Don't use Psychic with Metagross. Gardevoir handles that duty anyways.

Thanks alot for EV spreads and natures chaos, i'll use them, i think that's all i needed, i might make some better movesets. But right now i won't need anymore help, thank's everyone.

aipomkong

prophecy fulfilled
jetx i'm sure choice banded substitute will own on slaking ._.

btw don't even use it on non-cb slaking, truant makes sub completly stupid on slaking

and i'm sure giga drain crobat will become standard with it's whopping special attack

along with toxic houndoom becoming standard because of it's whopping defences and staying power

/sarcasm btw
