I'm not too good in team planning, but I just don't see the reason for Stoutland... :/ It's like you just wanted something extra on your team...
How about a Water-Type? You don't seem to have one...

 

[Zhanton]

Lilligant:
go with Sleep Powder or Leech Seed instead of Teeter Dance. Sleep Powder will help you to set up more Quiver Dances, whereas Leech Seed for healing purposes.

Arcanine:
Jolly gives you +Spe / -SpA, which isn't a good idea for a mixed sweeper, so go with Rash (+SpA / -SpD) or Naughty (+Att / -SpD). Flamethrower > Fire Blast for accuracy's sake, and Outrage > Dragon Pulse, imo.

Stoutland:
Fire Fang > Ice Fang on Stoutland to hit Steel-types who would otherwise wall him.

Staraptor has a great enough Attack stat iirc, so you should probably go with Jolly for the speed boost.

Bronzong seems fine, although I can't say I've ever used a Screener in-game. :s Not too sure on Cobalion though, sorry.

Cool team.

 

[koosbane]

Close combat > sacred sword on cobalion.

Quick attack > U-turn on startraptor.

 

[Aura Sensei™]

I would stick wityh Scarde Swords for more PP and overall a solid STAB.

You do realize you put Jolly on a MixedNine , right chap? Mild > Jolly.

 

[chap196]

Thanks for the suggestion everybody, all changes were in Bold

For chrosion
I will try to find a Water Type Pokemon, I use Stouland for my Normal Type Physical Attacker Pokemon

For Zhanton
I will put Sleep Powder and Leech Seed as a option on Lilligant, I accidently put Jolly Nature on Arcanine, I may put Outrage, but I am not sure yet. I will put Fire Fang as a option since Ice Fang give BoltBeam coverages. I will go for Jolly Nature on Staraptor.

For Koosbane
I will keep Sacred Sword since I don't want to lower Cobalion Defense. I think Staraptor is fast enough, so I don't think I need Quick Attack.

For Aura Sensai
I didn't realize that I put Jolly on Arcanine, so I will change Jolly to Mild Nature.

 

[koosbane]

Well, I suggested Close combat because you only will use a fighting move for dark and normal types. Quick attack is not because your slow but to have a STAB priority. I have used Staraptor many many times and never found a use for U-turn in game.

 

[chap196]

U-Turn is just for some situation when I want to switch Staraptor out and Attack opponent Pokemon, I just don't want to put Speed Priority move on Staraptor in in-game since Staraptor will mostly become faster than my in-game opponnent. I may just put Quick Attack as a option.

 

[Aura Sensei™]

Well, I suggested Close combat because you only will use a fighting move for dark and normal types. Quick attack is not because your slow but to have a STAB priority. I have used Staraptor many many times and never found a use for U-turn in game.

Quick Attack also helps finish off weakened foes.

Might as well use Work Up on Cobalion if you go Mixed , or Swords Dance > HP [Ice] and Iron Head > Flash Cannon to go full Physical. In that case use Jolly too.

 

[chap196]

I will use Work Up, but what move should I replace with Work Up, Flash Cannon?

 

[Shine]

Don't replace the Flash Cannon, replace the HP Ice instead. You already have the coverage (Rock + Fight), so you can have a second STAB (Flash Cannon) and a stat-up move (Work Up).

HP Ice is the one that's not needed there.

 

[chap196]

Thanks for the suggestion Shine, I will use Work Up instead of HP Ice.

 

[Master_of_grass]

Could always replace Stoutland with Zangoose.

Zangoose@Toxic Orb/Choice Band
Jolly
Toxic Boost
-Return
-Close Combat
-Night Slash
-Fire Punch

Return for STAB. CC for Steels, Ice, Rock and fellow Normals. Night Slash for Ghost and Fire Punch for extra coverage

 

[Zhanton]

^ That Zangoose should run Facade > Return because coupled with the Toxic boost and the Toxic Boost boost, and STAB, Facade's power is ridiculous.

I will put Fire Fang as a option since Ice Fang give BoltBeam coverages.

That's true, but for Stoutland, you won't be able to hit Steel-types at all without Fire Fang. BoltBeam is great, but on Stoutland, Fire Fang is more useful than Ice Fang.

 

[Vandslaux]

IDK about BW2, but I've played through DPt 3 times and used Quick Attack/Brave Bird/Close Combat/Return.

 

[Master_of_grass]

Omg I can't believe I forgot about Facade. Thanks for saving my butt zhanton

 

[chap196]

Thanks for the suggestion everybody.
For Master of Grass
I think I won't be using Zangoose since I don't have it and I don't really like it.

For Zhanton
I agree, I will use Fire Fang instead of Ice Fang.

For x_vandslaux_x
I already have that move set in my original post.

Any more suggestion
