Blaziken: I would replace Mirror Move with Fire Blast.

Swampert: I would replace Endeavor with Ice Beam.

Tyranitar: Very good moveset in my opinion.

Salamence: I would replace Dragon Dance with Dragon Claw.

Metagross: Nice moveset in my opinion.

Venasaur: Great moveset in my opinion. You should make Venasaur hold Miracle Seed, though.

I hope I helped! :)

Keep Dragon Dance. That's my advice. However, your Salamence NEEDS physical attacks to make it work

Salamence @ Leftovers/Lum Berry/Shell Bell
Trait: Intimidate
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide

Venusaur @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Leech Seed
- Sleep Powder
- Sludge Bomb
- Razor Leaf

Tyranitar: Replace Crunch and Dragon Claw with Earthquake and Thunder Wave

Metagross can't learn Thunderbolt

Do NOT replace Flamethrower with Fire Blast. Only 5PP+85 accuracy. I would reccomend Fire Blast only if you were loaded with Ethers, Elixers and/or Leppa Berries. You should also use a PP Up or PP max on Fire Blast if you chosse to use it and if the items are available. You have to preserve your PP when fighting the Elite 4. You should get rid of Venasaur's Sludge Bomb. Its moveset is decent except I would reccomend getting rid of Sludge Bomb you could teach it the Sunny Day+Solarbeam combo or Sunny Day+Synthesis combo or Frenzy PLant( yet another attack with low PP-come with PP restoring items if you use this attack.)

fire blast is wayyyy better then flamethrower it is smarter teaching fire blast instead of flamethrower.

He's fighting the Elite 4 so he needs not to worry about losing PP for his only Fire attack. He should only teach fire blast if he has PP restoring items. Not only that but Fire Blast has low accuracy. There's a probable chance that Fire Blast will only hit 2 0r 3 times-thus wasting PP and his turns- whereas Flamethrower is very accurate and has plenty PP. Fire Blast is a bit stronger but obviously Fire Blast won't last you very long especially while fighting the Elite 4.

Metagross can't learn Thunderpunch and it's weaker than Thunderbolt. And a good water type would be Suicune if you can get it. If not than use Swampert or Sharpedo.

Well I'm using a FireRed version with no Electabuzz. I can't find any at the Power Plant. So no breeding. And I don't think Electabuzz can breed with Metagross.

LV70 Blaziken@Leftovers
Adamant / Jolly / Naive Nature
Fire Blast / Overheat
Sky Uppercut
Rock Slide
Swords Dance

Blaziken is a physical sweeper. Fire Blast is only used to counter physical walls that might come to wall it. I prefer Fire Blast over Overheat, unless it's a Choice Bander. Naive if you want to use Flamethrower, otherwise stick with Adamant / Jolly.

LV70 Swampert@Leftovers
Relaxed Nature
Earthquake
Curse / Ice Beam
Surf / Hydro Pump
Rest

With Curse, it's a Cursepert. Without Curse, it's Mixpert.

LV68 Tyranitar@Leftovers
Adamant Nature
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Dragon Dance
T-Wave

LV75 Salamence@Leftovers / Choice Band
Adamant Nature
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Aerial Ace
Dragon Dance / Fire Blast

Why have Dragon Dance when you've haven't got a single physical move? Replace Dragon Dance with Fire Blast if you want the Choice Band set.

LV65 Metagross@Leftovers / Choice Band
Adamant Nature
Earthquake
Agility / Sludge Bomb
Meteor Mash
Explosion

With Agility, it's known as Agiligross. With Sludge Bomb / Rock Slide / Shadow Ball, it's CBgross.

LV75 Venusaur@lefties
Sassy Nature
Sleep Powder
Razor Leaf
Leech Seed
Sludge Bomb

Basically the same set as Unforgiving Suicide's set.

Thanks for any assistance.

Changes are in BOLD.
