A good team but maybe you should consider a water type pokemon as they are helpful sooo 8/10 (8 out of 10)

Your team isn't bad, but you need to be more varied with type. Also, try and train your Pokemon evenly. And by the way, this is spam. There is a sticky saying: "No rate My Team threads."

Ninetales Lv 62
Flamethrower
Quick Attack
Fire Spin
Return
Fire Spin is bad. No trainers switch anyway in-game. Quick attack + Return isn't a good idea.
Golem Lv 62
Rock Blast
Earthquake
Strength
Double Edge
Get rid of strength.
Crobat Lv 63
Poison Fang
Secret Power
Fly
Steel Wing
Hehehehehe.... Poison Fang... Secret Power... HAX trainer!
Steelix Lv 63
Dragonbreath
Crunch
Iron Tail
Double Edge
Crunch and DragonBreath Steelix. Revolutionary, but not practical. NO.
Dragonite Lv 64
Water Pulse
Surf
Shock Wave
Outrage
No need for water pulse, and Shock wave pales in comparison to thunderbolt. BoltBeam or FlameClaw instead.
Blaziken Lv 65
Sky Uppercut
Blaze Kick
Brick Break
Flamethrower
BrickBreak + Sky Uppercut= A BAD Score.
Blaze Kick + Sky Uppercut = A worse score.
Rock Slide? Overheat? Sword Dance?
6/10. At least you're better than that guy with the minun.

Whatever floats in your boat. Ninetales isn't that great a Pokemon...uhh...except maybe Will-O-Wisp over Fire Spin...

Golem Lv 62
Rock Blast
Earthquake
Strength
Double Edge

Explosion over Strength, Rock Slide over Rock Blast, maybe even Focus Punch over Double Edge, and you'll have a prime Choice Bander.

Crobat Lv 63
Poison Fang
Secret Power
Fly
Steel Wing

Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Aerial Ace, Giga Drain for in-game reasons. Would also make a good Choice Bander

Steelix Lv 63
Dragonbreath
Crunch
Iron Tail
Double Edge

Err, no. Earthquake over Dragon Breath and Explosion or Rest over Crunch.

Dragonite Lv 64
Water Pulse
Surf
Shock Wave
Outrage

Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, Substitute, Focus Punch...

Blaziken Lv 65
Sky Uppercut
Blaze Kick
Brick Break
Flamethrower

Swords Dance over Brick Break, Rock Slide over Blaze Kick

Floored! was certainly correct, you are better off than that other person with the Minun...still, not great...

Excuse me...what's up with the sudden change in format. You had it (almost) correct the first time. >_>

This is the standard format for posting Pokemon movesets. Please do take the time to edit your post. Also, we don't care about levels.

Pokemon@Item
Nature
Ability
Effort Values (You can skip this too if you don't really know what these are)
-Move 1
-Move 2
-Move 3
-Move 4

^Do it this way whenever you want your team rated again. Toodaloo. *vanishes in a puff of smoke*

Yep you need to list item there holding,nature and ability and Ev's.

Of course someone will.

Ninetales Lv 62- Flamethrower, Quick Attack, Fire Spin, Return

Ditch everything sans Flamethrower and go with Grudge, Will-O-Wisp, and Confuse Ray.

Golem Lv 62- Rock Blast, Earthquake, Strength, Double Edge

Rock Slide dances all over Rock Blast. Go with Explosion over Strength too.

Crobat Lv 63- Poison Fang, Secret Power, Fly, Steel Wing

Crobat isn't that great of a Pokemon to begin with considering that pretty much all you can do effectively with it is to annoy, and even that doesn't work well. If you know how to use the Choice Band, the set below is your friend.

Shadow Ball
Sludge Bomb
Aerial Ace
HP Ground

You have HP Fighting as an option over HP Ground.


Steelix Lv 63- Dragonbreath, Crunch, Iron Tail, Double Edge

Don't ever try SAtk. moves with a Steelix, since they will fail. Iron Tail is a move avoidable anyday as well. Here's your set:

Earthquake
Rock Slide
Double Edge
Toxic

I personally don't like Toxic, so instead I chose HP Steel on mine. But Steelix was always better in G/S/C.


Dragonite Lv 64- Water Pulse, Surf, Shock Wave, Outrage

Having Water Pulse and Surf on one set is pointless. Shock Wave also gets run over by Thunderbolt. Since this is an InGame Dragonite, here is your set:

Substitute
Focus Punch
Flamethrower
Dragon Claw

You do have the option of BoltBeam coverage instead of FlameClaw. But I've found that FlameClaw generally works better on InGame teams.


Blaziken Lv 65- Sky Uppercut, Blaze Kick, Brick Break, Flamethrower

This set defies redundant. Sky Uppercut and Flamethrower are what you want to keep.

Swords Dance
Sky Uppercut
Rock Slide
Flamethrower

You have the option of Bulk Up over Swords Dance, but I strongly advise the use of Swords Dance as Blaziken's Def. rating sucks even with Bulk Up, and Bulk Up only jumps your Atk. rating one level when Swords Dance jumps it two levels.

Blaziken Lv 65- Sky Uppercut, Blaze Kick, Brick Break, Flamethrower

the pokemon in your team are very good, but the moves that you have given them are actually terrible (no offence)
for example ninetales with fire spin! why? to be honest i dont know what else ninetales cos i have never used one properly. all i know is that you should make more of its special attack cos it is quite high.
you also have a blaziken which is also a fire pokemon! you only need one so get rid of one. blaziken should have a moveset like, flamethrower, thunderpunch, sky uppercut and arial ace
golem and steelix too! you only need one ground pokemon. i would suggest steelix cos of its steel type. its move should be earthquake, iron tail, double edge (with rock head), and dragonbreath (for paralysis)
crobat is always a good choice. its moves should be arial ace/fly (whatever you prefer), sludge bomb, confuse ray and screech
dragonite is also a good choice, but you have made full use of its attack stat!
giving it all special attacking moves. its moves should be either fly or arial ace, dragon claw/outrage, earthquake/iron tail, and dragon dance.
i suggest using instead of golem either ludicolo or lanturn, cos they cover types that you need for an all rounded squad, and instead of ninetales, use a decent psychic pokemon like alakazam or if you dont mind ubers mewtwo or deoxys (if you can get one!!)
dont take this post an insult but as an oppertunity to get a beter team.

i rate your current team 6/10!
if you make the suggested changes, thanks for taking the advise and i will give the updated team 10/10

PS. i take pokemon very seriously. sad i know!
 

Guitar dude bill

It's here, it's near
first thing, most important, get rid of fire spin for cryin out loud! fire spin is one of the suckiest moves in the game, I'd replace it with fire blast. no need for quick attack, my suggestion, teach it toxic, unless you've already used that tm. I'd keep return and flamethrower though.
with golem, get rid of double-edge unless his ability is rock head in which case keep it. if it isn't go to one of those move tutors and get rock slide. I'd replace strength, if you have earthquake, whats the point. teach it rollout prehaps
You simply won't get anywhere with crobat if you don't teach him sludge bomb! get rid of steel wing and teach it sludge bomb. get rid of secret power. teach it giga drain or aerial ace, I think aerial ace is a better choice as it is STABed with crobat
with Steelix, get rid of dragon breath! that move sucks as it is, but if it isn't STABed than having that move is just a waste, I'd teach it rage. though it's not great, it get's stronger when you take damage. not so sure about crunch though, maybe dig. maybe hyper beam. sorry gotta go. I'll edit my post with furthermore advice

lol rage/hyper beam steelix

never rate a team again

Yeah crunch is horrible on steelix. For 100% acc OHKO on shedinja maybe, lol
Dragonbreath has a 30% chance of paralysing which is nice but it will take almost no damage at all. and in that case body slam is way better than dragonbreath. I think dragonbreath is better than rage though=P
