I need help deciding the last member of my team

Chaos Wolf

The classic
  • Rule 1: It stays in the 4th gen. not catch as catch can
  • Rule 2: no ubers / probably no legendarys (I.E. iffy on Cresselia)
  • Rule 3: none of the following
  • Infernape, Torterra, Staraptor, Floatzel, Mismagius, Magmortar, Lucario, Glaceon, Leafeon
  • Rule 4: Bare in mind the team is what I have planned for it, I actually am still going up against Fantina (Gym leader 5).
  • Rule 5: this is going to be a casual EV trained team, it may or may not be on WiFi.
  • Rule 6: The aim is for something Physical, I prefer to balance Special stat Chars with Physical stat Chars.
Without further ado

Empoleon@Leftovers
Calm
Torrent
EVs: generally, Sp. Def and HP
Surf
Ice Beam
??? (Probably Stealth rock)
??? (Probably Grass knot)

Gallade@Expert belt
Adamant
Steadfast (unfortunatly)
EVs: Mainly attack & Sp. Def
Psycho Cutter
Close Combat
Night Slash/Will-o-Wisp
Swords Dance

Rhyperior@Leftovers
Impish
Solid Rock
Evs: I aim her towards at Def and Att Evs. the occasional fluke will happen and a EV will be wasted to Sp.Att
Megahorn
Stone Edge
Avalanche
Earthquake

Drifblim@Salac Berry
Calm
Unburden
Evs: Hp and Sp.Def
Shadow ball
Substitute
Thunderbolt
Calm Mind

Porygon Z@??? (Life orb or Leftovers)
Modest
Adaptability
Evs: Sp.atk and Speed oriented.
Nasty Plot
Tri-Attack
Dark Pulse
Thunderbolt


That is the current layout, the ideas I have had for No.6 are

Spiritomb (Wall+Phys attacker)
Drapion (Spiker)
Garchomp (Choice Band sweeper)
Bronzong (Hypnosis support)

Any ideas?

hey! youre team is coming along nicely! but u cud tweak it a bit! ditch drifblim. ok id pick garchomp cause of its great speed and attack!
Garchomp@focus sash(for starmies wit icebeam)
jolly
sandstream(meh)
3:1 with stronger speed than attack(no im not mad)
dragon claw
EARTHQUAKE!(ur teams lacking without this)
brickbrake
stone edge

watch out4: starmie!!! but its well able to deal with 99% of pokemon with this moveset and item and nature... this works especially well in single battle mode
 
^bad advice....bad set, biased backing....

Go w/ your plans on Emp, since you cant get agility at this point.

Gallade's fine.

Swords Dance/Subsitute>Avalanche on Rhyperior imo.

Why is your Drifblim not baton passing? Baton Pass over Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt or Calm Mind. For this team, i would say get rid of thunderbolt.

Ice Beam>Nasty Plot or Dark Pulse. this also determines the item. if you keep dark pulse, run Choice specs/scarf. if you keep nasty plot, wise glasses.

drapion doesnt spike, to start:

Spiritomb
Impish/Careful
Sucker Punch
Taunt/Calm Mind
Will-O-Wisp/Hypnosis
Pain Split

Drapion
Adamant/Jolly
Cross Poison/EQ
Night Slash/Crunch
Ice Fang
Swords Dance

Garchomp
Adamant/Jolly
Dragon Claw
EQ
Stone Edge/Fire Fang
Swords Dance

Bronzong...
Calm/Bold
Hypnosis
Gyro Ball
Stealth Rock
EQ/Explosion
