Use Surf/T-bolt/Ice Beam/Flamethrower>Fire Blast>Hydro Pump>Blizzard. The only exception is Aggron if he can learn so he can counter Skarm and Weezing and such other foews, since he needs the extra Power (Overheat is better in that case, again if he can learn it).

Also, use this Absol set:
Shadow Ball
Return
Swords Dance
Filler (Aerial Ace is a good one for the BF against those utterly annoying Double Teamers)

Unless you have XD, drop that Articuno. It needs Extrasensory and other moves, BUT ABSOLUTLY NO PHYSICAL MOVES.
 

SwordofAeons

Degeneration X
Articuno-Leftovers

Blaziken-Salac Berry
Naive Nature
-Endure/SUb

Salamence-Choice Band

No water pulse. WP is useless. Ice Beam Stabbed is 137.5, Water Pulse is 60. Most of the time, do not even bother with Water Pulse.

On Reversal-Blazekien, use Overheat instead of Fire Blast

Again Overheat on Salamance.

Overheat is useful because after you kill a Pokemon, you will probably switch, thus on switching lose the stat decrease. And with Blazikien, once he has 1hp left, you will not be using that fire attack. Blaze needs Overheat more however.

Overheat weakens stats, though. :S I'm more of an offensive person, going for the strongest attacks, as well as unexpected attacks (Such as Flamethrower with Aggron, since it's not Fire type.) I don't usually use attacks that help my Pokemon with HP, or stats, except for Swords Dance.

overheat isnt all that good unless sunny day's in effect besides when u use a fire move on blaziken its gonna be super effective anyway(mostly)

salamence@lefties
adamant
-D claw
-EQ
-DD
-aerial ace/brick break

nothing much to say here although u might wanna replace this or another physical sweeper with something else

aggron@lefties
impish
-EQ
-t wave/counter/aerial ace
-rock slide

if u can get t wave use it, if not then counter, if not that then aerial ace but choose t wave first

Then you fail in the BF. Overheat is useful because you will only use it, get yourself out of there (thus losing the Sp. Attack decrease) and send in a new Pokemon.

Calm Mind and Swords Dance are a must if you want to survive.
 
For an ingame option, Toxic CAN work for Articuno if you can't get Sleep Talk or the XD moves...

Or Hidden Power if you get a special one (not named ice) with 65+ attack power.

I'm not failing in the Battle Frontier at all, really. -.o
And, yes, my team is purely attacking for a reason. I'm an offensive battler, which means I don't focus on upping my stats, except for Absol, which now with one Swords Dance, it can pretty much take a one-hit KO on most Pokemon. I like to get it over with and make heavy damage as soon as possible, which works just fine in the BF.

I will be focusing on raising them all to Lv. 100 soon. XD I just got them to Lv. 90 and stopped because I got too busy and didn't have time to train them. But once I'm free from my summer work (arg) they'll be Lv. 100. ;]

Trust me, he is right. CM-Safegaurd-Recover Latias does wonders in the BF. Regi's are pure awsome, even though they are tanks. Your team will be beaten by a Wobbufet. Encore>Die x3

The predator awaits.
Without stat upping moves you run the risk of being outwalled and outstalled by things that have stat upping moves like Calm Mind, Swords Dance, Recover and Rest.

Scratch that. You WILL be outwalled and outstalled by things. Face it: that's a fact.

Beware the Curselax. That's my final word.

Their stats are high enough. I've upped them imensely with things such as Carbos, Protein, etc. (Focusing on attack and speed constantly) And I would've noticed if I were failing at anything, and I'm certainly not. -.- I just think it's a waste of a move to make your stats high when they're just fine, when you could be taking out your opponent. That's just my phylosophy, and I haven't failed with that strategy yet. Also, a lot of my moves lower stats of the opponent, so I don't feel a need to up my stats. It's a waste of time in battle.

Now, I'm working on another team for Emerald. It's a complete set of Eevee evs. and the filler is Cacturne. Is that a good filler? I thought it would be good, since that would fill all of the basic types. (Dark, Psychic, Electric, Fire, Water, Grass)

look its not retarded it helps u A LOT use one stat boosting moves on each and its not a waste of a moveslot because it makes the battle faster
