Need some Team Help

[Xoth]

Ok, here's what I'm thinking of... I don't want to keep my team tied down with too many non-combat PKMN, but I am going to use some. I'm not shooting for an all OU team here... I'd like to keep some things in the Borderline/UU range. I don't want to be too predictable.

Machamp (Physical Sweeper)
-Cross Chop
-Rock Slide
-Thunderpunch
-Bulk Up

Houndoom (Sp. Sweeper)
-Flamethrower
-Crunch
-Shadow Ball
-HP Grass (I had a lot of trouble getting a Ninetales with this so it may change)

Sceptile (Mixed Sweeper) *This, or any other suggestions?

Blastoise (Tank/Rapid Spinner) * Other Suggestions?

Crobat (Phazer/Annoyer)
-Toxic
-Confuse Ray
-Whirlwind
-Haze *anything I should choose over this?

Ninjask (Baton Passer)
-Baton Pass
-Swords Dance
-Substitute
-Aerial Ace/Agility (the first choice is unpredictable and plus, I might need the flying STAB)

That's all I can think of. Movesets/Changes to the team are appreciated, but really I'm thinking of keeping those that I haven't questioned about. Ninjask and Machamp are almost definites. Start with 'Jask, Substitute a few times, then Baton Pass the speed to Machamp, and physical sweep. I like that setup.

[The End]

Ninjask (Baton Passer)
-Baton Pass
-Swords Dance
-Substitute
-Protect

There is no attack, but it really helps, especially using protect.

Sub - gain speed, until substitue breaks, use swords dance, use protect again when sub is broken, and then baton pass when you are low in health.

The only down fall is a Pokemon using taunt, that's when you are snookered.

How can Crobat be an annoyer if he doesn't have Toxic, Confuse Ray, or other status inducing attacks? He's also a Phazer... Which would mean he'd need Whirlwind... I do appreciate the other movesets though.

Annoyers fail. Read the stickies.

 

[Xoth]

Well, you see, I knew the format, but the Pokemon I'm mentioning here haven't been captured by me yet, so I know beforehand what I'm looking for. So traits and natures are out the window. And I don't have levels, obviously, because I haven't caught them yet, and I haven't yet planned on what to put on them. That leaves EVs left, which I don't train for... so actually, I did post them in the correct format, just a dumbed down version.

Now, I know Annoyers are not that good. Which is why I made Crobat part phazer also.

Steel, I like that setup, but there's only one problem: I only have FireRed in terms of the FRLG series, and don't own Emerald, so two PKMN with substitute is out of the question... so can you fix one of their movesets accordingly?

 

[~Sirnight~]

Well then...either give Sceptile Dragon Claw or Ninjask Protect.

 

[Xoth]

Alright, I'm goin with Dragon Claw. Ninjask's looking good as far as I can tell.

*bumps against wall* Ouch.

Whatever. Here goes.

Machamp@lefties
Adamant / Careful Nature
- Cross Chop
- Rock Slide
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

ReSTalking Machamp. Hits hard and absorbs status.

Houndoom@Lum
Timid Nature
- Flamethrower
- Crunch
- WoW
- HP [Grass / Ice] / Sub / Beat Up

Blastoise@lefties
Bold / Calm Nature
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Counter / Mirror Coat
- Rest

Bold for Counter, Calm for Mirror Coat.

Frost, thanks. I'll run the Resttalking Machamp, but I'll keep the Houndoom moveset mentioned earlier, since Beat Up doesn't help much, since Crunch is already his best Dark move. I kinda prefer this Blastoise:

Blastoise @ ???
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Rest
-Rapid Spin (for the spikers)

 

[Frost Nova]

Since when are you going to see a Spiker ingame?
