Hi. I am wanting to start a new diamond team to enter into the pokemon league and train to level 100. I am wanting to use these pokemon. please, any tips are welcome on movesets and items, but none on EV's and natures because that doesnt matter to me, and i will not go back and breed pokemon so no egg moves either. also, please no non attacking moves please if you were going to suggest them, but i will use health restoring moves and stat inducing moves e.g burn paralyze, sleep. sorry it sounds like alot but im just trying to help you not waste time on anything that im not going to take any notice of! also note this team is NOT finallized so any suggestions are very welcome.
thanks alot XD

^Actually, Arcanine doesn't need Crunch. STAB Flare Blitz is still more powerful than a super-effective Crunch. Iron Tail would offer more "coverage".

Milotic (Bold/Calm Nature) @Leftovers
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Hypnosis/Toxic
-Recover

is another option.

It's unnecessary to have both Flamethrower AND Flare Blitz. They cover the exact same things. Drop Flamethrower for something like Iron Tail. You have to think about coverage. Make up for it's weaknesses by putting in a move that can help you out. =] I hope you will get it.

Arcanine @ Life Orb / Muscle Band / Expert Belt / Choice Band
~ Flare Blitz
~ Thunder Fang
~ Extremespeed
~ Crunch / Iron Tail

Crunch is nice since it doesn't have recoil but DOES have 100% accuracy. Iron Tail provides more coverage though.

Electivire @ Life Orb / Muscle Band / Expert Belt / Choice Band
~ ThunderPunch / Thunderbolt
~ Earthquake
~ Low Kick / Brick Break
~ Fire Punch

Electivire really suffers without Ice Punch and/or Cross Chop. =/

The Physical versions of Arcanine (Choice Band/Scarf and Howl) hit much harder than the Special versions,but the Special versions have more type coverage and more 100% accurate moves.

Urm, how can Howl work with Choice items exactly? Or did you mean Choice Band/Scarf or Howl?
