The movesets really are not too great. The ones which are remotely good are the Milotic one and the Salamence one, there is just the minor drawback that mix-mence does not work fantastically and Rain Dance pales in comparison to Mirror Coat or something of the sort.

A general rule. In GSC and Advanve, NEVER (or except for in very rare circumstances), should you have two moves of the same type in one moveset. Obviously, in DP this will be a tad different, but even then will Confusion and Psychic in one moveset be strongly advised against.

Ampharos
T-bolt
HP Ice/Grass
T-wave
Light Screen/Reflect (I dunno, I dont like Pokes with restriced movepools. (Yes, I am aware that my favorite Pokemon is Shuckle...but...))

Swellow
Aerial Ace/HP Flying
Return (Facade if you a fan of Facade on Guts guys)
Endeavor
HP Ground/Fighting (Steel Wing, if you really have too...)

Hariyama (Never used this, so I dont have a clue what its good and bad at)
Substitute, Focus punch, Belly Drum, T-wave, Rock Slide, Cross Chop, Smellingsalt, HP Ghost, Brick Break.

I really dont have a clue, Ill go and copy one off a website like everyone else if I have to...

Gardevoir (Im good with this one)
Psychic
T-bolt
WOW
Calm Mind

You may want Ice punch somewhere in that moveset.

Milotic
Surf
Ice beam
Rest/Recover
Mirror Coat

Salamence
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
HP Flying/Aerial Ace
Brick Break/Hydro Pump/Fire blast/Dragon Claw/HP/Crunch (I reccomend HP if you havent used HP Flying. Otherwize use Brick Break or Fire Blast).

HP= Hidden Power. There's a complex formula on the site for it (under game mechanics) it allows your pokemon to have its hidden power as one of the 17 types at a differing power, based on the individual pokemon.

Because of that, Hidden Power should not be used in-game.

WOW = Will-o-wisp

No, don’t put two attacking moves of the same type on one Pokémon (except for backup moves like Quick Attack/Mach Punch).

Why would you need Crunch? No team ever needs Dark attacks.

No you don’t.

If you have any trouble with Psychics, get a Special wall (Snorlax, Regice, or Blissey).
