I'll give you some comments on the movesets:

;065;Alakazam can't use Recover greatly, because of his bad defences. Alakazam is a sweeper, used to inflict much damage with loads of Special Attack and Speed. Most opponents can do more than 50% damage to Alakazam in one hit, making Recover useless.

;094;The Hypnosis Dream Eater combo isn't really good. Hypnosis is too inaccurate to rely a combo on. Go with some special moves and a support move such as Destiny Bond or Hypnosis.

;076;Golem looks fine if you give it a Choice Band

;068;Don't use Earthquake on Fighting types, most types weak to Ground moves are also weak to Fighting or Rock moves, such as Fire, Rock, and Steel. Go with a moveset like:

Machamp @ Leftovers
Adamant nature
-Cross Chop
-Rock Slide
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

Or

Machamp @ Leftovers
Adamant nature
-Rock Slide
-Cross Chop
-Facade
-Bulk Up

;367;Huntail looks fine, give it a Modest nature if you've cloned the Deepseetooth

;230;You can go with either Flailing Dragon Dancing Kingdra or the Special Sweeping Kingdra:

Kingdra @ Leftovers
Modest nature
-Rain Dance
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Dragonbreath

Kingdra @ Lum Berry
Lonely nature
-Endure
-Dragon Dance
-Flail
-Hydro Pump

Hydro Pump on the second one because it has no Rain support and no beneficial nature, so it needs some more power.

;233;Go with Thunderbolt on Porygon2, and change Tri Attack to Thunder Wave. Give it a Modest nature
