You're welcome! Yeah, I know, but challenge mode looks like it could be tough and admittedly I go a little mad trying to get decent coverage. I probably won't actually finalize my teams moves until post-story anyway, so I don't really expect anyone else to do that either. My team:
[img128]http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/bwb/503.png[/img128]
Samurott
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Megahorn/Superpower/Grass Knot/Hidden Power I'd go for Superpower here, just because it gives nice coverage. If you want, you can put Megahorn in the last slot.
- Aqua Jet Go for Aqua Jet here. It gives priority, letting you move first and is a strong STAB. If you want, you can use Megahorn here, and Superpower in the third slot.
Can't decide if I should go all out special or mix it up a bit. Considered a physical set as well but idk. I'll only use HP if the typing is good, like Electric or Ground or something. Mixed is fine.

Zoroark
-Dark Pulse I'd go for Dark Pulse over Night Daze.
- Flamethrower
- Grass Knot
- U-Turn
Always wanted to use one. Was thinking about Sucker Punch or Focus Blast or something, too. I wouldn't put Focus Miss on him. U-Turn should work fine.

Arcanine
-Flare Blitz
-Outrage
-Extremespeed
-Wild Charge/Crunch/Close Combat
Can't decide on the last slot. I wanna go with Wild Charge but two recoil moves makes me want to cry. Might just grin and bear it though. If you're willing to breed for it, put Close Combat in the final slot. It gets good coverage. If not, either of the other moves work fine.

Roserade
- Toxic Spikes
- Giga Drain
- Venoshock
- Rest
Natural Cure ability. I've used Roserade to death but I figured I'd try something a bit different (and quite gimmicky, probably) this time.

Grumpig
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball
- Power Gem
- Thunder Wave
I've always wanted to use a Grumpig but I never have. Have to admit that I'm a bit disappointed that you can't get one until post-Mistralton though, I'm actually contemplating dropping this for something else. Another Psychic type maybe? If that DW Ability Eevee, the one from that scientist person at Castelia, is available pre-e4, I might use Espeon.

Flygon
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
- U-Turn
- Fly / Fire Punch
Fly for pre-e4, then afterwards i'll drop it for Fire Punch and just use something from the box for flying. Fire Punch is amazing on Flygon. Helps to pick off pesky Ice-types. You could always use an HM Slave for Fly.
I think my team is pretty solid; the only common weaknesses are Bug and Ice type moves (hence the abundance of Fire-type moves). I'm not sure about using Grumpig though and I'm even reconsidering Samurott. Might make this the first game where I'm starterless. I'd use Serperior but I used it in Black and plan to trade it over so I can teach it all the neat move tutor stuff, don't really see much point in using the same Pokemon twice in the same generation. I haven't used Emboar before but I don't want to, either. Thank you, by the way.
