They are my suggestions.
 
Yay! My Ledian was correct with the moves. I liked that one. But:
- why so many subs? That wolud be very hard to get.
- weather ball moveset>anything else castfrom can learn.

-The ledian was acceptable in my eyes. Not great, acceptable.
-Sub=love
-Weather Ball is more of a filler when you already have Fire Blast.
 
The info on this was got of a site other than serebii.net, so don't blame me if it's wrong, and I don't think I am allowed to name it either-

Weather Ball's Base power = 50
Weather Ball's power doubles under a weather condition (Sunny Day, Rain Dance or Hail but not Sandstorm).
Weather Ball's elemental type changes to Fire for Sunny Day, Water for Rain Dance and Ice for Hail. Since Castform's type changes accordingly, this results in a 50% same-type attack bonus. (Weather Ball will become Rock type if Sandstorm is used, and in Pokémon XD, Shadow type if Shadow Sky is used, but Castform's type will not change.)
Sunny Day and Rain Dance increase the power of Fire and Water-type attacks respectively by 50%.

So, Weather Ball = Normal 75, Ice 150, Fire 225, Water 225

If this is true, then for instance-

Flamethrower with stab over 6 turns- 142.5*6 = 855
Sunny Day then WB fro 5 turns- 225*5= 1125
and Fire Blast as you suggested can't even be used 6 times!

ps. I am sceptical of the *2 bit, but remember, with such a broad moveset, there is a high chance of super effective anyway

That means that you constantly have to set up a different weather condition. That was the point that I was getting at. Have one Eliment, not all 3.

Also, I am sure it doesn't double the power and THEN get an extra 1.5 power from the sunny day (for example)!
It will only be one.
 
Yeah, thats what I thought, but even if it is, and the website is wrong,

Normal 75, Ice 150, Fire 150, Water 150

is not to be sniffed at, and the four types make it easy for a super effective. Oh, and why does your Bulbasaur emphasize Attack over SA? And how do I get both Poliwrathand Metagross learning Earthquake?

If you don't have 2 TMs, you could have Rock Slide over EQ on Metagross. The main Problem is that HP [Ghost or bug] would go over EQ on Poliwrath usually, but that is bloomin' hard to get ingame.

Oh and getting two TMs isn't? ;001; Why attack moves on Bulbasaur? ;001;

Because Bulba isn't good for anything else...

OK, first the proper arguement- Bulbasaur's base SA is approximately 33% higher than her Attack stat. SA>A

And now... BULBASAUR OWNS YOU FOOL! Eh hem... sorry, but you had it coming, it did sound like an insult...

ooooooookkkkkkk... One problem, Bubusaurs Special movepull is poor.
It can learn Swords Dance.
It gets a sexy stab on Sludge Bomb.
EQ is also an option.

But a Special Venusaur would be like this
Venu@ Leftovers
Modest/Calm Nature
-Magical Leaf/Razor Leaf
-Sleep Powder
-Leech Seed
-Synthesis

Alternate for the sunny-beaming version.

I've always liked this set for Poliwrath:

Poliwrath @ Leftovers
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Substitute
- Belly Drum
- Focus Punch
- Hydro Pump

Hit anything with Hydro Pump that you can't hit with Focus Punch. Nothing resists this set.
I have that set on my NetBattle Poliwrath, and it doesn't like me, so I prefer the Salac one. Though I have HP [Ghost] over EQ.
