If you don't want to change natures, it's cool, just ignore them. It's just become a habit.

Torterra @ Leftovers
Adamant/Impish Nature
Ability: Overgrow
-Wood Hammer
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Leech Seed/Protect

Wood Hammer and Earthquake for STAB, Stone Edge to hit Flying-type pokemon, and Leech Seed for HP recovery or Protect to earn a free Leftovers turn.

Weavile @ Focus Sash
Jolly/Adamant Nature
Ability: Pressure
-Swords Dance
-Ice Punch
-Night Slash
-Brick Break

Swords Dance to boost atk, Ice Punch and Night Slash for STAB, and Brick Break for opposing steels.

Alakazam @ Choice Specs/Choice Scarf
Timid Nature
Ability: Synchronize
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Energy Ball/Grass Knot
-Focus Blast

Psychic for STAB, Shadow Ball for opposing ghosts, Energy Ball/Grass Knot to deal with bulky Water-types, and Focus Blast to deal with Steel-types that wall you.

Octillery @ Scope Lens
Modest Nature
Ability: Sniper
-Focus Energy
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Flamethrower/Energy Ball

Octillery has a very large movepool. Have fun playing around with it.

Garchomp @ Life Orb
Jolly Nature
Ability: Sand Veil
-Swords Dance
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge

Swords Dance to boost atk, Dragon Claw and Earthquake for STAB, and Stone Edge to compete QuakEdge combo.

Staraptor @ Muscle Band/Life Orb
Adamant Nature
Ability: Intimidate
-Brave Bird
-Return
-Close Combat
-U-Turn

Brave Bird and Return for STAB, Close Combat for steels, and U-Turn for scouting and to switch out without wasting a turn.

Well, I guess that's it, then. Hope I helped. Looking good! Keep it up!
 
Ooo thanks.
I was thinking of switching Alakazam for Azelf, but I still consider it a legendary. It has such a better movepool.
And thanks guys - I'll be sure to get the items and TMs i need.

I accidently sold grass knot though :s
 
^That's ok. Yes, Azelf does look promising.

Azelf @ Life Orb
Modest Nature
Ability: Levitate
-Nasty Plot
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Psychic/Explosion

At least, I think this is how it's supposed to look like.
 
If azelf is considered an Uber than i wont worry about it. Is it?

Also; would return hit more than take down if I treat my staraptor properly? :)

Azelf is OU, if I recall correctly.

And Return would hit harder than Take Down, yes. It's more accurate too. Return is better than Take Down, so pick up a TM27.
 
Whats an OU >_< i only know a few out-of-game things about pokemon :P
Anyway, I got a torchic egg from a friend! So I replaced sneezel with it.
Team is now
Alakazam
Torterra
Staraptor
Gabite (leveling)
Blaziken
Octillery (great movepool)

Level 48 torterra just destroyed Volkners pokemon, all in one shot each! :)
Too easy :P
 
OU means a Pokemon is in the 'over-used' tier. You can check out the tiers at Smogon.
 
OU means that a Pokemon is used alot due to its stats and movepool.
 
MM.. thanks :P i'll be sure to check out smogon.

Oh, i have 2 slots left, but 4 pokemon i want to put in..
Garchomp
Blaziken
Sneezel
Lucario

Blaziken and lucario both have a nice special attack and attack; but garchomp has serious attacks - sneezel (weevel* later) is kinda useless though - staraptor is my sweeper.

I'm thinking blaziken and garchomp.
Moves for whichever 2 i should put in please?
thanks so much
 
Up to the E4 now, need a quick decision. :(
Which 2?
Weevel
Blaziken
Garchomp
Lucario

I didn't involve EVS, and if they're not in your Sinnoh Dex, your friend might be able to help breeding most of these Pokémon. If they're mixed, that's good for the Elite 4. After that you'll have to think up of non-mixed sweeps.
 
I gave a setup i wanted :sss.

I do plan on changing my team as soon as i get every pokemon i want for my new ones.


Pros win with their favourites, not the best.

Oh, sorry. It's just...it's standard procedure to post natures and stuff. I'm pretty sure that you can get all the items I've mentioned except Life Orb before th E4. I prefer Lucario and Garchomp>Blaziken and Weavile because they have better stats and their movepools are generally larger than Weavile's or Blaziken's. Any one of them could do well, though.
