Do not, repeat, do not, bump your thread, especially when the time interval is not even one day. Help will eventually come.

Empoleon

Surf
Ice Beam
Agility/Stealth Rock/Yawn
Grass Knot
Flash Cannon has terrible coverage. Agility to help Empoleon sweep better, while Yawn or Stealth Rock provides some support. If you want an attack move, go with Signal Beam.

Tangrowth

Set 1@Muscle Band
-Swords Dance
-Power Whip
-Earthquake
-Brick Break

Set 2@Leftovers
-Leech Seed
-Synthesis/Substitute
-Power Whip
-Earthquake

Set 3@Wise Glasses/Leftovers
-Energy Ball
-Sludge Bomb

Take your pick.

Staraptor

Return
Close Combat
Brave Bird
U-Turn


Mamoswine

Earthquake
Ice Shard
Stone Edge
Curse

3 Pokemon are weak to Fire though. Pick something resistant to it.

The last thing Empoleon would need is a physical move. Unless he is Adamant and having Swords Dance.

^And Aqua Jet.

Empoleon@Life Orb
Adamant (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
Trait: Torrent
252 Atk, 240 Def, 16 Sp. Def

Swords Dance
Aqua Jet
Earthquake
Filler

This set goes against the general rule of thumb, in that it's better to place Defensive EVS rather than HP due to the Life Orb.

 

[Poke-friend]

What if you stick with special Empoleon?

Empoleon @ Wise Glasses
Modest Nature
Ability: Torrent
-Surf
-Grass Knot
-Ice Beam
-Agility/Toxic/Yawn

Thanks but here is other pokemon i was planning to add to my team

Yanmega

Bug Buzz
Air Slash?
Psychic?
?

Vaporeon

Surf
Ice Beam
?
?

Gliscor

Earthquake
Swords Dance
Roost
Ice Fang

Infernape

Close Combat
Flare Blitz
Swords Dance
Shadow Claw

I am trying to make a team that focuses on attacking but i do have some pokemon with good defences so does anyone know another pokemon which i should get

 

[TurtwigFan1]

I love the Infernape, especially Shadow Claw, great defence against Psychic-types!

 

[Icosahedron]

Yanmega @ Wide Lens / Leftovers
Modest Nature (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
Trait: Speed Boost
~ Hypnosis
~ Bug Buzz
~ Air Slash
~ Detect / Protect / Shadow Ball

Absolutely amazing. You can't hit Steel-types very well, but you can put everything to sleep and lay down the hurt with your two STAB moves. Shadow Ball lets you hit Ghosts, while Detect/Protect let you up your Speed and heal yourself slightly (if you choose Leftovers).

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)K
Trait: Water Absorb
~ Surf
~ Ice Beam
~ Wish
~ Protect / Toxic

Wish goes hand in hand with Protect. Still, you can use Toxic to gain the edge on fellow Water-types.

Gliscor looks fine.

Infernape @ Life Orb
Naive Nature (+Spd, -Sp. Def)
Trait: Blaze
~ Nasty Plot
~ Flamethrower
~ Close Combat
~ Grass Knot

Has the potential to hurt a ton of stuff.

As far as defensive Pokemon are concerned, Vaporeon and Gliscor are fine choices for ingame, but Gyarados is also cool:

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
Trait: Intimidate
~ Dragon Dance
~ Waterfall
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Fang / Stone Edge / Taunt

Ice Fang hits Grass-types and Dragons. Stone Edge hits opposing Gyarados the hardest. Taunt prevents Thunder Wave and/or Double Team and like moves from messing you up.

Yanmega @ Wide Lens / Leftovers
Modest Nature (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
Trait: Speed Boost
~ Hypnosis
~ Bug Buzz
~ Air Slash
~ Detect / Protect / Shadow Ball

Absolutely amazing. You can't hit Steel-types very well, but you can put everything to sleep and lay down the hurt with your two STAB moves. Shadow Ball lets you hit Ghosts, while Detect/Protect let you up your Speed and heal yourself slightly (if you choose Leftovers).

IF you want to hit Steel types better, opt for Tinted Lens > Speed Boost. But a Steel+Rock Pokemon still walls Yanmega...
