Okay, so I can make a team for Pokemon Black here and get critisized and helped with it? Here we go!
But first, a few notes. I'm not using EVs or Dream World abilities (at least, not for my starter), nor am I going to breed for moves, as it takes too long for me, and I'm impatient. I'm also a novice and don't really know much about a good team and will really need help for items, so any advice is welcomed. I'm also not changing certain members, so don't ask to replace Gochiruzeru, Jaroda, or Shanderaa for other pokemon. Those are to be kept on my team at all times. With that, read on!
Jaroda: Jolly (+Spe. -Sp. Atk.) nature, Overgrow
Coil
Leaf Blade
Dragon Tail
Aerial Ace
My starter. It's fast, packs a decent punch, and looks awesome. Unsure of moveset and nature. Coil for boosted stats, LB for STAB, Dragon Tail for forced switching, Aerial Ace for coverage.
Gochiruzeru: Modest (+Sp. Atk)/Calm (+Sp. Def. -Atk.), Frisk
Psychic
Calm Mind
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball
Good defences, good Sp. Atk, and my favorite pokemon design-wise. Might try to get one from Dream World for Shadow Tag, but not sure. Depends on how easy that is. Psychic for STAB, CM for boosting, Thunderbolt+Shadow Ball for coverage.
Shanderaa: Modest/Timid (+Spe. -Atk.) Flash Fire
Shadow Ball
Will-O-Wisp
Flamethrower
Energy Ball
Frightening Sp. Atk. and a pretty neat design makes this pokemon extremely popular and usable. Nothing to hard to decide, but let me know if there's anything wrong! Shadow Ball+ Flamethrower for STAB, Will-O-Wisp for burns, and Energy Ball for Ground/Water types.
Abogoura: Relaxed (+Def. -Spe) Solid Rock
Warerfall
Curse
Rock Slide
Earthquake
Every good team should have a defensive wall. This is mine. Great defense makes this guy formidable. Again, let me know if there's a problem. Waterfall for STAB, Curse for boosts, Rock Slide for coverage, and EQ for more coverage.
Zeburaika: Hasty (+Spe. -Def) nature, Motor Drive/LightningRod
Wild Bolt
Nitro Charge
Return
Overheat
Great Speed and decent attacking power makes this guy pretty nice. Moveset is a little shallow, but I did my best. Wild Bolt for power, Nitro for extra Speed, Return for a reliable attack. Overheat is for pure attacking power, but is only really good once.
Wairubiaru: Adamant (+Atk. -Sp. Atk.), Overconfidence
Earthquake
Crunch
Brick Break
Outrage
Great Attack, great ability, and good moves make this a force to be reckoned with. EQ for awesome STAB+coverage, Crunch for coverage, BB for potential Screens and coverage, and Outrage for a strong attack. Doryuuzu might work better, but I prefer Wairubiaru's design.
So, there we have it! My potential team for Pokemon Black! Advice and comments are really helpful, so please let me know if there's a problem!
