hey. I only recently just got back into pokemon when i bought diamond for my ds. I was wondering if you guys could help me with my movesets for my team & also, suggest 2 other pokemon? I'm open to any hints, suggestions, etc etc. I'd love it if you could tell me what you would change too becuase it does need work. Kthanks :]

Luxray.
nature: hardy.
~ Thunder.
~ Thunder fang.
~Crunch.
~ ???

Gengar.
Nature: Naughty

~ Shadow ball.
~ Thunderbolt
~ Focus Blast
~ hypnosis


Torterra.
Nature: Rash.
~ Earthquake
~ Leaf Storm
~ Crunch
~ Solarbeam/razor leaf


Staraptor.
Nature: Hardy
~ Brave Bird
~ Arial Ace
~ Fly
~ Close combat/wing attack


thanks :]
 
the only set that really works for luxray is the three elemental fangs + crunch. he has much better attack than sp attack.
torterra probably wants stone edge (for flyers) over solarbeam/razor leaf since he has the ultimate grass move.
give staraptor u turn over aerial ace since he has three flying moves, and if you can, give it return over fly but fly is needed most of the time
 
okay, yep i'll write that down. can you also suggest another two pokemon? becuase i really have no clue on what will or won't work.
thanks.

~ U-Turn

thanks :]

team is ok, just remember, NEVER give your opponents a free attack, so moves like giga impact, fly, dig, and such shouldn't ever really be used, just not smart. other than that, the movesets suggested here are definitely an improvement.
 
Thanks for that :].
could you suggest another two pokemon as well for the team, please?

not really.. what do you suggest? Just anything that might help stop any weaknesses within the team. Garchomp was suggested as being one of them?
 
Garchomp@ Life Orb (If you go with Swords Dance) / Choice Scarf (If you go with Fire Fang)
Adamant/Jolly
~EQ
~Dragon Claw
~Stone Edge
~Swords Dance/Fire Fang

You 'COULD' use Garchomp however you already have 3 physical sweepers and if you get a 4th, physical walls just laugh in the face of em. Personally, I would choose another special sweeper and someone who could be a mixed wall



Some Special Sweepers you can use to round the team can be:

Salamance@ Choice Specs/Choice Scarf
Modest
~Draco Meteor
~Dragon Pulse
~Flamethrower
~Hydro Pump

or...

Lucario@ Choice Specs
Modest
~Aura Sphere
~Vacume Wave
~Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball
~Dragon Pulse



Then for a mixed wall you got...

Umbreon@Leftovers
Bold
~Mean Look
~Toxic
~Baton Pass
~Moonlight(If you want to heal yourself to keep yourself alive) /Wish(If you wanna heal someone elseto keep them alive)
^Ultimate Annoyer;)

Hope that helped you out and good luck with your team:)
