M'aimes-tu? :3
I'm going to be using a Parasect in my upcoming SS playthrough...and I honestly don't know what I can do with it. Should I use it as a catcher, or simply attempt a sweep with Swords Dance? No EVs/egg moves/etc because it's ingame, but I will be able to use move tutors and TMs and things from Plat.
Parasect@Quick Claw/Leftovers/?
Spore
False Swipe/Swords Dance
Seed Bomb
Brick Break

I was thinking about using Forretress for SoulSilver, and seeing as he's got a respectable Attack stat, whats a good physical moveset? I'd like to stray away from Spikes and stuff, although I may use Toxic Spikes for status.

Forretress @ Adamant
-Bug Bite
-Payback
-Gyro Ball
-????

Any good?

Try Revenge, Counter or Explosion in the last slot.

A good move for it to learn would be revenge but you could also check smogon.com that site helps a lot.

Starmie @ Life Orb
• Timid
• 4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe
~ Surf
~ Thunderbolt
~ Ice Beam
~ Recover / Rapid Spin / Grass Knot

That's a pretty standard Stamie. If you're staying in-game, then use Recover. If you're going competitive, then Rapid Spin or Grass Knot, depending on the rest of your team.

What's a good ingame moveset for Xatu and Sunflora?

Xatu @ Modest
Synchronize
-Psychic
-HP Ground
-Shadow Ball
-Fly

I may use Wish in the last slot, but I really need Fly.

Sunflora @ Modest
Solar Power
-Solarbeam/Energy Ball
-HP Fire
-Leech Seed
-Sunny Day/Toxic

What other special moves does Sunflora learn anyway?

I suggest you just get an HM Slave instead of wasting a moveslot on Xatu. Heat Wave is for good coverage, especially against Ice, and Signal Beam handles Dark. Wish is a really good move In-Game and Competitively, so yeah.

Sunflora is fine.

oh..... and when is the best time to evolve it?

As soon as you get a good Staryu.

Tyranitar @ Impish
Sandstream @ Leftovers
252 HP/252 Def/6 Attack
-Crunch
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Dragon Dance

Max HP and Defense gets about 400 HP and 350 Defense. With Sandstorm activated, his SpDef gets a 1.5x boost, so thats about 350. Then sweep with DD boosted Crunches, Stone Edges, and Earthquakes.

Any good?

^ I'd run 252 HP / 136 Def / 4 SpDef / 116 Spe for the EV Spread, so that you can get past all Neutral Lucario and other Base 90s after a single Dragon Dance.
 
Im trying to get a decent nature/moveset/ev spread down for a Jirachi that I will Probably never use but I like him so I'll train him up.

I was thinking.

Jirachi@Leftovers
Impish 240Hp/76Def/160SpD/32Spe Or Careful just switch Def and SpD Evs
~Serene Grace
-Wish
-Iron head
-Ice Punch/Toxic/U-Turn
-Cosmic Power

A simple tank, he boosts with Cosmic Power, heals with Wish and lefties and Iron Head is for Flinch Hax with Ice punch covering dragons and ground types, toxic just for damage, or U-turn if I need a quick switch.


For a special variant if Draco Meteor is worth keeping

Jirachi@lefties
Bold 240Hp/76Def/160SpD/32Spe Or Calm just switch Def and SpD Evs
~Serene Grace
-Draco Meteor
-Calm Mind
-U-turn (to switch after CM boosted Draco)
-Ice Beam/Signal beam/Psychic/some other special move

Just use the first one. DM isn't really worth it on Jirachi.
