My friend and I decided to have a battle on Saturday, and I need some suggestions. Both of use are using our in-game teams, so no EVs/IVs/Egg Moves. I'm also trying to avoid using one time only TMs, as this is NOT my competitive team. Also, keep in mind I'm planning to level to 50-60.

Level 47 Infernape@Fist Plate(Do plates work on every poke? or just Arceus?)
Close Combat
Flame Wheel
Mach Punch
Torment

I'm planning on replacing Flame Wheel with Flare Blitz once I get it, and replacing Mach Punch with Swords Dance in there, and I need another move to replace the 4th slot.

Level 47 Staraptor
Close Combat
Fly
Aerial Ace
Take Down

Yeah, fly for in game <_<, I'm gonna need suggestions on this one.

Level 27 Haunter@ Wise Glasses
Shadow Punch
Curse
Confuse Ray
Mean Look

I'm planning on my Gengar having something like Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, Thunderbolt, and Psychic, any suggestions?

Level 24 Gyarados@ Exp. Share
Splash
Tackle
Bite

<_<, explanation below*
I was thinking DD, Aqua Tail, Ice Fang, and a filler.

Level 47Gabite@ Draco Plate
Dig
Dragon Rage
Dragon Claw
Sandstorm

One more level T_T;. Gonna out Rage for Crunch and Claw for Dragon Rush. Might replace Dig with EQ.

I have room for one more, and I have no idea what to use.

The reason Haunter and Gyarados are low leveled is because I had a 45 Luxray and 45 Floatzel in there place, and I found Gengar covered more types then Luxray, and gets TB. While Floatzel's movepool sucked, IMO, unless someone can prove me otherwise.

BTW, I should mention that he has an Empoleon, Staraptor, Luxray, Steelix, Lucario, and Weavile well into there 50s, we agreed 60 was the level limit.

Please respond ASAP, I need time to actually do the training <_<.
 
plate work of any pokemon they just change arceus type

instead of fist plate put shell bell on infernape seeing as though you lose hp with flare blitz
 
Gyarados
DD
Ice fang
Aqua tail
Earthquake

Earthquake is for his luxray, steelix,lucario and empoleon. You need to set up 2-4 Dragon Dances to outrun his luxray though.With gyarados you could already defeat him for weavile aqua tail or earthquake for staraptor ice fang.
If you get to set up 2-4 dragon dances u can go 4 a sweep on his team.Your gyarados has a very good potential 4 competetive battling so don't mind using tm earthquake on him
 
are you doing a free battle? Then I would concentrate on evolving, then movesets. I'm gonna fight with my friend tommorow too, and I want a good moveset for my Wevaile befre the big fight.

Crunch

2 days left to train, please help.
 
Staraptor@Choice Scarf if you can get it
-Return
-Brave Bird
-U-Turn
-Close Combat

stick with dragon claw on garchomp.
 
Dude if you want a stronger move at a risk for accuracy aqua tail is better for gyarados.Sorry for the dragon rush on garchomp Extrasensory's suggestion was right stick with dragon claw on garchomp. Luxray is better than floatzel with a moveset of:Thunde Fang,Crunch,(filler),(filler).Luxray's Thunder Fang is Stronger than spark. Get stone edge for infernape instead of keeping mach punch. Psychic for haunter's last move.

What about
Garchomp@Wide Lens
Dragon Rush
EQ
Crunch
Draco Meter
Dragon Rush w/ Wide Lens for better accuracy and as his physical dragon move. Draco Meter to use his SP.ATT on something, I know his base S.ATT is only 80, but I should be able to OHKO something on his team with it, right? I would use Draco Meter, and lower my S.ATT, not really affecting me, and switch out whenever I need to and get another one in when I need it.

Okay, I'll still with Luxray for now, he's easier to train anyway -_-.

And I kinda need Infernape's Mach Punch. It's the only Weavile-counter I have that works well. I should be able to OHKO it once I get to ~60. His is only around 54.

And also, something important. Who should my starter be?
