Remove T-tar from your team anyway, for the reason I stated below.

Name: Pikachu
Item: Light Ball
Ability: Static
Nature: Modest/Timid
EV: Untrained
Moves:
-Fly
-Thunderbolt
-Grassknot
-Hidden power (ice)

I'll assume this is the one from PokeWalker?


1. remove T-tar, it hurts practically EVERYONE in your team except itself.
2. I'm not sure about their EVs, if you want to EV train them, other raters can give you the spread xD

This is what I've currently got. It's not for competitive battling, or much online play (I have another set for that.)

Name:Typhlosion
Item: Wide Lens
Ability: (his standard one.) Blaze
EV: Untrained
Nature: Naughty
Moves:
-Shadow Claw
-Flamethrower
-Thunderpunch
-Focus Blast

His Standard ingame set, since I don't think you'd be willing to run a Scarfed variant. Shadow Claw and Focus Blast give unresisted coverage, Flamethrower gives STAB, and Thunderpunch deals with annoying Water Types.

Name: Pidgeot
Item: Muscle Band
Ability: Keen Eyes
EV: Untrained
Nature: Jolly
Moves:
-Aerial Ace/Brave Bird
-Steel Wing
-Return
-Faint Attack/U-Turn


Since you have enough Special Pokemon, use a Physical Pidgeot. Aerial Ace for STAB, but if you're willing to re-breed for Brave Bird, then do so. Return for a Second STAB, and Faint Attack and Steel Wing. If you're not breeding for both Brave Bird and Faint Attack, then U-Turn to switch out. Bossk pretty much covered this one.

Name: Togekiss
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
Nature: Modest/Timid
Ev: Untrained
Moves:
-Thunderwave
-Air Slash
-Roost
-Aura Sphere

Quite the standard Paraflinch set.

Name: Blastoise
Item: Leftovers
Ability: (his standard one)
EV: Untrained
Moves:
-toxic
-mirror coat
-ice beam
-surf

I dunno, I'm not really so good with Blastoise. Never liked him much as a starter.

Name: Tyranitar
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Sandstream
Nature: Adamant
EV: Untrained
Moves :
-Crunch
-Ice Fang
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake

Since he's Adamant, Dark Pulse is no good. Crunch is better. Also, Thrash just sucks, so run Ice Fang for coverage. Life Orb for power. I don't like everybody's use of Tyranitar b/c he's not amazingly awesome, and he hurts your other team members with Sand Stream.

Name: Pikachu
Item: Light Ball
Ability: Static
Nature: (forgot)
EV: Untrained
Moves:
-Fly
-Thunderbolt
-Grassknot
-Hidden power (ice)

Weak set, but it's the best he can really do if you want him to be the origional one you got.

Changes/comments in Bold.

Edit: Beaten by Shiny Trainer. Use his advice, although it's mostly the same.
 
Fly on Pikachu is actually pretty pointless. If you use any physical moves, go with Brick Break.

^Actually, the best set (IMO) is this one:

Pikachu@Light Ball
Hasty
Ev's: 116Atk/142Sp.Atk/252Spe
Thunderbolt
Grass Knot
Substitute
Focus Punch

Focus Punch from behind a Substitute. I use this set to great effect in Platnium. Grass Knot gets good coverage, and T-bolt is STAB.

thanks everyone.

yeah, i wasn't too sure what i wanted to do with pidgeot, it doesn't really do much for me. i just like it cos its shiny. lol.

Might make the following changes:

Typhlosion
-Sunny Day -> Shadow Claw or Focus Blast

Pidgeot (complete overhaul)
Brave Bird/Aerial Ace
U-Turn
Steel Wing
Return

T-tar
- Dark Pulse -> Crunch
-Thrash -> Ice Fang


This was similar to my original team in gsc (minus any new moves added since then) and Sandstream didn't exist. T-tar is annoying for that reason, but i could usually spare one turn to Sunny Day the sandstorm away.

And fly on pikachu for 2 reasons:
-it's a flying pikachu.
-i removed fly from pidgeot to make room for another move, so i needed something with fly anyway.
 

StrayedBullet

OMFG................
Blastoise@leftovers
Bold nature
-Surf
-Toxic/Yawn
-Ice Beam
-Rest/Protect
 

nekoakuma

Event Hunter
hm..

mirror coat is too situational....
rest seems a good alternative..i just don't like the waiting period.

would aqua ring fit instead?
 

nekoakuma

Event Hunter
yawn instead of... toxic or rest/aqua ring?
 

Eon Master

Sorry, forgot about Toxic. In that case go with Aqua Ring, and keep Toxic. Don't worry about yawn.
 

nekoakuma

Event Hunter
Blastoise
- Mirror Coast -> Aqua Ring

T-tar -> Alakazam (moveset undecided)
 

Eon Master

Born from the Flames
Alakazam@Wise Glasses
Timid
Ev's: 252Sp.Atk/252Spe/4Hp
Focus Blast
Psychic
Energy Ball
Shadow Ball

Rather straightforward. Powerful and fast, a pure special sweeper, no setup required.
