Platinum Team Rate

[chrisx008x]

Ok so I'm actually in the process of creating a team and I haven't settled on move sets yet so I'll just give the names instead.

Machamp
Garchomp
Alakazam
Staraptor
Gengar
(Open Spot)

So far this is all I can put together out of what I have. My friend is playing soul silver for me and my brother is playing sapphire so we can pal park to silver and then trade into my platinum. I need input on my current selections and also suggestions for what else I should put in. I was thinking Houndoom since I have one already but I wasn't sure. Or perhaps scrap the machamp and add a water type like gyarados. I don't want to switch out garchomp for a dragonite just because I prefer garchomp(looks cooler IMO). Also if anyone wants to help me pick good move sets that would be cool too but not necessary.

Make sure Machamp's ability is No Guard.That will allow it to utilize DynamicPunch.

I'm also thinking you could dump Staraptor and replace it with something else,right now I'm recommending Skarmory or a Water type.

Alright first off, throw together some kind of a move-set and repost/edit or the mods are going to close your thread. Just a heads up, and i agree, replace staraptor with a better flying type like skarmory, or a fire type, and your last slot should go to a water type preferably.

ok. i knew i needed a water type so ill put that in as the last spot. and switch skarmory in from staraptor. sounds good. let me go see if i can catch a skarmory right quick. and the reason i dont have any move sets posted is because its not definitive yet. everything is in its mid 40's to high 50's so i havent really gotten everything i want yet. im in the process of rebreeding everything so i can properly EV train them which i've never done before. i don't have immediate access to those reset berries so thats why im starting clean. thanks for the tips though guys. as for the water type, my friend and I are bredding eevees so i was thinking i would use vaporeon? That or maybe lapras if he can get one.
