Don't use HMs in the process of team rating.I wasn't too sure on a Dodrio set without the HP.That should do fine though.If you insist on fly then you can put it over Steel Wing...

Definitely get ride of Strength in lieu of a better move; there really aren't that many boulders that need to be moved.

I can't breed yet!!! Or trade, so I can't Choice Band with Dodrio!

Yeah, I'll use most of Kingdra's sets for post-Elite Four, when I can breed.

So this is my team so far:

Electabuzz@?
Lonely Nature
~ Thunderbolt
~ Brick Break/Cross Chop when I can breed
~ Thunder Wave/Calm Mind
~ Psychic/Ice Punch when I can breed

Venusaur@Leftovers
Careful
~ Razor Leaf (one attack isn't worth it and it can still recover nicely)
~ Leech Seed
~ Synthesis
~ Sludge Bomb

Dodrio@?
Adamant
~ Drill Peck
~ Toxic...
~ Return
~ Steel Wing (why the hate for this move? It covers Rock and Ice, and it's an extra sweeping move.)

Lapras@?
Modest
~ Sing? It's low accuracy...
~ Ice Beam
~ Thunderbolt
~ Confuse Ray

Snorlax@Leftovers
Careful
~ Curse
~ Return
~ Rest
~ Earthquake/Shadow Ball

Rhydon@?
Adamant
~ Megahorn
~ Rock Blast/Slide
~ Earthquake
~ Swords Dance

-or-

Mr. Mime (Need a legit Special Sweeper not named Alakazam)
Modest
~ Substitute
~ Psychic
~ Thunderbolt
~ Thunder Wave/Reflect/Barrier

Might take out Electabuzz for Mr. Mime. What do you think?

I don't think you get that many leftovers...

On Lapras, you can use Surf instead of Sing to get past the game, once you get past the E4, you can change the move to back to Sing.

^Agility over Quick Attack on the EndFlail set.

@Mii: Sassy please on Venusaur. Choice Band is best for Rhydon, but if you can't get it then it doesn't really matter what you use. Also, use this for Mr. Mime:

Mr. Mime @ Leftovers/Brightpowder
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
Trait: Soundproof
- Reflect/Encore
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic

Yeah, use him over Electabuzz, who may I mention can't learn Calm Mind....
