Hi this is for Pokemon Emerald. I am changing my team around but I need some help, so if you could rate my team that'd be great. I may transfer these Pokemon to D/P so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Breloom - Mild Nature
Lv. 42

Mega Drain
Sky Uppercut
Strength
??? (don't have 4th move yet)

Spore
Focus Punch
Sludge Bomb (Seed Bomb)
Mach Punch/Sky Uppercut/Swords Dance (Stone Edge/Rock Slide)

Breloom is useless without Spore, so you'll need a new one anyway, try for an Adamant or Jolly nature.

Aggron - Brave Nature
Lv. 44

Ice Beam
Rock Smash
Take Down
Iron Tail

Rock Slide (Stone Edge)
Earthquake
Brick Break/Iron Tail
Double-Edge (if Rock Head)

You can replace one move with Thunder Wave if you're not using Choice Band.

Swampert - Careful Nature
Lv.50

Surf
Earthquake
Dive
Waterfall

Surf/Curse
Ice Beam
Earthquake
Counter/Rest

A nature that reduces Speed is best for a mixed Swampert. With your current nature you could put Rock Slide instead of Ice Beam.

Plusle Hardy Nature
Lv.50

Thunderbolt
Thunder
Shock wave
??? (4th move needed)

I have no idea but you should stick with just one Electric type attack (Thunderbolt). Consider a replacement unless this is one of your favourites.

Mew - Docile Nature
Lv. 37

Fly
Psychic
Calm Mind
??? (dont have a 4th move yet)

Calm Mind (Scheme)
Psychic
Flamethrower (Pulse Bomb)
Softboiled/Earthquake (Energy Ball/Rock Cart)

With EQ it covers Houndoom, Tyranitar, Water/Psychic types.

or

Calm Mind (Scheme)
Psychic
Thunderbolt/Softboiled (Charge Beam)
Ice Beam/Softboiled

or

Swords Dance
Brick Break
Shadow Ball (Shadow Claw)
Softboiled/Psychic/Overheat (Rock Cart)

BB/SB covers everything. Overheat kills Skarm/other steels.

Feather Rest is an alternative to Softboiled in D/P.

Breloom - Adamant Nature
Lv. 42 <-- Eh, you evolved it too early.

Focus Punch
Substitute
Spore
Sludge Bomb/Iron Tail

Well to get spore, evolve Shroomish only when up to Level 54 cos Breloom can't learn Spore once Evolved. Iron Tail is used against possible Slow Ghosts like Dusclops or Banette, otherwise use Sludge Bomb.

Aggron - Adamant Nature
Lv. 44

Double-Edge/Return
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Iron Tail

Brave Nature would be OK, but Adamant would do better. Also don't put Special Moves on Aggron, Special Moves on Aggron rarely OHKO anything. If you have Rock Head as your ability, use Double-Edge, if it is Sturdy, then Return.

Swampert - Relaxed Nature
Lv.50

Surf
Earthquake
Ice Beam
Rest

Swampert Standard. If transfering to D/P, use an Adamant Nature and have Waterfall, Ice Punch and Earthquake. Because Waterfall and Ice Punch fall into the Physical Category in D/P which is a Huge plus to Swampert.

Plusle Timid Nature
Lv.50

Thunderbolt
Wish
Encore
Thunder Wave

Really Terrible on its own. Plusle works better in 2VS2 while with Minun. Well Plusle hasn't got a huge movepool. You could go search for HP Grass, but that would be too time consuming. This set should do some stalling. Its speed should get Encore trap slower pokemon. Wish is for healing (Could be replaced for Hidden Power Grass if you have it). And Thunder Wave is to slow sweepers down.

Mew - Docile Nature Can't change Mew's Nature... Oh Well.
Lv. 37

Ice Beam
Psychic
Calm Mind
Flamethrower

There are just too many movesets you can use with Mew. Seeing that you fall majorly to Shedinja (The only one that can hit is Aggron with Rock Slide), Flamethrower was added.

I'm not too sure what last Pokemon you could add... Maybe Latios? Or a Regi? Blissey? Snorlax?

A walling pokemon would be best since you don't have one. Aggron isn't a wall though, it has two x4 weaknesses and has low SPDEF. Its high defense won't always block Brick Breaks and falls to the popular Earthquake.

so adorable...
you could use the curse swampert

swampert@brave
-curse
-earthquake
-return
-ice beam/surf/rest

You have little or no special protection in your team. Put a snorlax in there. You also ideally should replace Plusle- it's pretty awful. How about Raichu (Never thought i'd say that) as there's not many electrics in emerald.

Thunderbolt
Substitute
Focus Punch
Thunder Wave

Reno

manerctric@modest
-thunderbolt
-thunder wave

Reno

damn. oh well.
 

aragornbird

(。◕‿‿◕。)

Electrike evolves at Lv. 26.

Jolteon is better anyways.

Jolteon @Leftovers/Petaya Berry
Modest/Timid Nature
-Thunderbolt
-Substitute
-Agility/Bite
-Baton Pass

In D/P you have the option of using Shadow Ball over Bite.
