Fire Blast
Fly
Hyper beam

Blastoise (49):
Surf
Earthquake
Dive
Strength

Sceptile (46): - More my HM carier tbh.
Rock smash
Flash
Cut
Leaf blade

Kadabra (40):
Shock wave
Physcic
Confusion
Psybeam

Vulpix (40): (I had to catch it, it was so cute)
Will- O -Wisp
Confuse ray
Imprison
Flamethrower

Gyarados (45):

Raise all there levels.
 
Overall your team looks ok. Blastoise definately wants Ice Beam, and Gyarados wouldn't mind having a physical move like Return, but other than that there's not much that needs fixing.
You could give Gyarados Rain Dance in order to boost its Water moves and Thunder's accuracy. I don't think this Gyara would be so bad:

Gyarados
- Return
- Rain Dance
- Surf
- Thunder

It's up to you.
 
Thankyou for your help, much appriciated(:
I think i will teach gyarados both those moves, they sound like a good idea;munchlax;
 
Even in rain with STAB, on that Gyarados, Hydro Pump would be an option for the water move. Surf works and has perfect accuracy, but Gyarados' special attack is low, so if you don't mind the loss in accuracy, Hydro Pump has more power. Certainly up to you, though.

Physical Shadow Ball won't help Alakazam/Kadabra. Recover is risky because chances are if you're taking damage, it'll be quite a bit (meaning you'll recover and just lose even more health). Calm Mind increases damage, but you'll still take a ton of damage from physical attacks.

I agree that HP is a good option because of its power. However, the lousy accuracy isn't the only reason I suggested Surf and not HP; HP's biggest issue in my book is its lackluster PP. Surf is one of your main moves and you don't want it to constantly run out of juice. And even though Gyarados' special attack is bad it should still be able to do good damage with STABed Surf in the rain. It's not like either move is the clear winner though.

I agree with everything you said about Kadabra - Recover's almost always useless when you have potions.
 
I would make Gyrados a physical killer not as special guy, You already have blastoise to take care of the pokes you need to kill with water/ice.

can you not get thunderbolt for kadabra?

you levels on a few pokes may be a little low.

why vulpix and kadabra? evolve!
 
Thankyou:)
