*New* Platinum Battle Frontier Team

[InfernapeFan]

Okay so my first team failed miserably (never got past palmer). So I'm coming up with another team:

Heatran@? ( I don't have choice scarf yet)
Naive/Rash
Fire blast
Earth power
Explosion
Filler?

Garchomp@yache berry
Jolly
Dragon Claw/ Outrage
Earthquake
Substitute
Swords dance

Weavile<- Not sure about this one
jolly
Ice punch
Brick break/ low kick
Night slash
Ice shard/pursuit

I am open to all changes and I have access to completed LG and Sapphire games.

Weavile you could use a focus sash and replace night slash with swords dance. You can swords dance your first turn with out fear of being hit for a OHKO and then sweep with superior speed, of course a priority move would take you out if your at 1 hp.

For Weavile
Use Sword Dance instead Ice Shard/Pursuit since Weavile is already fast, so Speed Priority move is not really important and Battle Frontier opponent is unlikely to switch Pokemon, so Pursuit is also not important. Give Weavile a Focus Sash even if you are using Sword Dance or not.

For Heatran
If you don't have Choice Scraf, then you can use Leftover instead. Use Dragon Pulse instead Explosion since Heatran didn't have much Attack and Dragon Pulse give a nearly unresisted combo with Fire Blast.

EV's?

Swords Dance > Ice Shard on Weavile. It has good enough Speed already.

You guys understand ice shard is for endure and that one berry that boosts your speed. So if they endure or agility with focus sash. then all of a sudden they are faster than you, so ice shard for priority so you don't get screwed. I have had it happen to me. Priority moves in the battle tower are pretty useful.
