Platinum Team Help

[Spenner]

I'm about to get Platinum (tomorrow), and ive come up with a possible team to use. Probably not going to bother with natures, as its only an ingame team, but ill put them incase people have suggestions. All of these will be starting off at level 1:

Charizard
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Quiet
Dragon Claw, Shadow Claw, Air Slash, Heatwave

Definatly staying, i haven't used Charizard since Gold.

Garchomp
Ability: Sand Veil
Nature: Hardy
Earthquake, Fire Fang, Dragon Claw, Crunch

As there is another ground type (all will be revealed), this is up for change. Another dragon, preferably.

Gallade
Ability: Steadfast
Nature: ??? (still awaiting hatching)
Leaf Blade, Psycho Cut, Night Slash, Close Combat

New poke for me, I'm interested in seeing how it does in battles. Staying.

Tyranitar
Ability: Sandstream
Nature: Lax
Earthquake, Stone Edge, Dark Pulse, Thunderbolt

Again, not used since Gold, so i want to keep it. It also makes up for having no electric type.

Ursaring?
Nature: ???
Ability: Guts/Quick Feet
Hammer Arm, ???, ???, ???.

Never used before, in the sense of the poke, and normal types. Need possible movesets, which can include breeding as i don't yet have an egg.

Gliscor
Nature: ???
Ability: Hyper Cutter/Sand Veil
Night Slash, X-scissor, Poison Jab, Thunder Fang

The other ground type. I don't normally double up types, but this may not be necessary if Garchomp is changed. It does also double up on flying, but it loses its weakness to electric, so no worries.


So, there we go. If you need any other info, feel free to ask. Ill edit the post as more info is available. Thanks in advance.

I'm about to get Platinum (tomorrow), and ive come up with a possible team to use. Probably not going to bother with natures, as its only an ingame team, but ill put them incase people have suggestions. All of these will be starting off at level 1:

Charizard
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Naughty/Lonely/Mild/Rash
Dragon Claw, Shadow Claw, Air Slash, Heatwave

Everything is fine, although Shadow Claw isn't needed. Here is a different set he can do better, an all special set;

Charizard @ Modest
-Flamethrower
-Dragon Pulse
-Air Slash
-Filler

Flamethrower/Dragon Pulse get unresisted coverage on everything, Air Slash is a STAB, and last moveslot is filler.

Definatly staying, i haven't used Charizard since Gold.

Garchomp
Ability: Sand Veil
Nature: Adamant
Earthquake, Fire Fang, Dragon Claw, Crunch

Everything is fine except the nature

As there is another ground type (all will be revealed), this is up for change. Another dragon, preferably.

Gallade
Ability: Steadfast
Nature: Adamant (still awaiting hatching)
Leaf Blade, Psycho Cut, Night Slash, Close Combat

Tyranitar
Ability: Sandstream
Nature: Lax
Earthquake, Stone Edge, Dragon Dance, Thunder/Fire/Ice Fang

Dragon Dance is a REALLY USEFUL MOVE, and boosts everything else. Thunder Fang gets MUCH more power than Thunderbolt.

Again, not used since Gold, so i want to keep it. It also makes up for having no electric type.

Ursaring
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Guts
Hammer Arm, Return, Crunch, filler.

Guts is preferred over Quick Attack ingame. Return is a main STAB, Crunch is for Ghosts, Hammer Arm is fine.

Never used before, in the sense of the poke, and normal types. Need possible movesets, which can include breeding as i don't yet have an egg.

Gliscor
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Hyper Cutter
Earthquake, Aerial Ace, Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang/Swords Dance, Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang/Swords Dance

Earthquake/Aerial Ace for STAB, and any combo of Fangs is fine. Fire is best for pesky Ice types, and Thunder hits Water, or Swords Dance is a nice boost too.

The other ground type. I don't normally double up types, but this may not be necessary if Garchomp is changed. It does also double up on flying, but it loses its weakness to electric, so no worries.


So, there we go. If you need any other info, feel free to ask. Ill edit the post as more info is available. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, ill take those into consideration.
As it happens, the Teddiursa egg hatched as an adamant nature, and Guts.
