-Linoone can't get BB
-Castfrom cannot get Surf
- It is IMPOSSIBLE for a Shedinja to know both SD and BP because oddly, Shedinja CANNOT learn the SD Move Tutor o_O; And since Ninjaslk learns both at different levels... you get the picture.

Fun:

Earthquake
Return
HP Flying
Hydro Pump

If you can't get HP Flying, you can always go with...Rock Smash XDD

Seriously. A Gyarados without HP Flying is like a Laturn without Volt Absorb. It just doesn't work :/

again, [spoil]I should really check the pokedex when I'm not sure.[/spoil]x2

Well, couldn't you just wait until ninjask learned both SD and BP, then evolve it?

Shall I explain clearly how Nincada's evolutions work? In short, you should hold off evolving Nincada until it's at the level before Ninjask would learn the move you want, so lets say you have a level 24 Nincada. Now when that Nincada gets to level 25 and you evolve it, you get a Ninjask with Swords Dance and also a Shedinja with Swords Dance, providing you have an open space in your party.

I would recommend using a Zangoose in the first team since it learns Swords Dance and stuff, but if you don't want to that's up to you. And probably a Swellow or Dodrio.
 
A

Air Dragon

Ha, ha... not.
Thx for all ya suggestions! i'll go through you one by one with comments, first to last:

Dunsparce, RoboRaph and Fighting_Master: True, i love Zangoose, but i raised one before and whenever i start a new game i do my best not to raise the same pokemon twice. i've only done that with gyarados (Gold and FR) and Golem (same pairing).it's the same with swellow. i even use it in my emerald game as a battle frontier fav whi helped me win many a symbol. i wouldn't even raise a lapras twice because of that policy and it's my fav water type pokemon to train and battle with...i'll cosider the dodrio idea though...

nightcat and Fighting_Master: i don't particularly like choice banding... restricts the possibility of finishing off a tough opponent. even if my move of choice is buffed up and can't finish the job, the battle gets drawn out and seriously annoying.

Fighting_Master: (again) how the heck does linoone learn extremespeed anyhow?!
Overheat Hothead: Thank you! geez, i don't want to train anything other than what i gave you guys to work with, 'mkay? and as natures are set when you get the pokemon, i don't intend to change them in any way.

i'd breed for the silver wind but the toughness of raising that ninjask to lv 38 to learn MC was too tiring. Slaking is just a repeat of slakoth and that was annoying enough. i'll think about it though...in conclusion, i think breeding for moves is out of th monotype challenge rules so i'd rather not.

You can get an egg that hatches into a Zigzagoon with Extremespeed from Pokémon Box. I was very lucky and got an Adamant one. :)
