In-game team, no intentional EV training, everyone's at Lv. 100. I'm just curious as to what the minds here think.
Samurott @ Soft Sand
Torrent
Bold
Surf
Megahorn
Blizzard
Dig
Megahorn over X-Scissor for the power boost; to my thinking, if Megahorn misses and has to be used again, it's no different from having to use X-Scissor twice, and if does hit, it's that much more powerful. X-Scissor can be switched in at a future time via TM if I get tired of missing. Likewise with Blizzard over Ice Beam. Dig isn't Earthquake, but it is still an 80 base power Ground attack augmented by Soft Sand.
Charizard @ Dragon Fang
Blaze
Quiet
Flamethrower
Dragon Claw
Focus Blast
Fly
Focus Blast gets good coverage and aligns with its good Special Attack stat. Fly is there for overworld purposes, though it is the highest base power Flying attack it can learn.
Tyranitar @ Black Belt
Sand Stream
Sassy
Crunch
Brick Break
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Fairly standard, I imagine.
Galvantula @ Miracle Seed
Compoundeyes
Timid
Thunder
Bug Buzz
Energy Ball
Hyper Beam
I am aware that Hyper Beam is, objectively, a poor choice as compared to Sucker Punch or other more useful moves like Toxic, but Galvantula doesn't have a lot of Attack to work with, Psychic-types are already covered by Bug Buzz and the bugger's already fast as hell thanks to being Timid. Hyper Beam is novelty value, pure and simple, and beyond that, does align with Galvantula's decent Special Attack and gets neutral coverage nearly across the board. It's a last resort/"use if bored" attack, nothing more.
Throh @ Stone Plate
Inner Focus
Mild
Body Slam
Brick Break
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Again, pretty standard, I imagine. Brick Break over Superpower because Throh does not need to be losing stats with every attack, Body Slam for neutral coverage and for the Paralysis chance, Stone Edge and Earthquake for wide coverage and to draw on a good Attack stat.
Hydreigon @ Flame Plate
Levitate
Jolly
Dragon Rush
Flamethrower
Crunch
Earthquake
Again, no surprises here. Flamethrower's good for coverage and gets boosted a bit by the Flame Plate, and has a pretty decent Special Attack stat to work from.
Thoughts?
