Team Advice

[flamec80]

Hi,
I need some advice on my team of Pokemon on Pokemon Ruby. My team consists of:
Swampert - Level 40
Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Mud Shot, Water Gun (Probably going to delete in favour of Dive when I reach Mossdeep.)

Breloom - Level 38 (Training to 40)
Moves: Mega Drain, Sky Uppercut, Cut, Strength

Swellow - Level 40
Moves: Peck (Trying to find a move to delete it), Wing Attack, Fly, Aerial Ace

Hariyama - Level 37 (Training to 40)
Moves: Tackle, Rock Smash, Vital Throw, Arm Thrust

Gardevoir - Level 38 (Training to 40)
Moves - Thunderbolt, Calm Mind, Shadow ball, Psychic

Milotic - Level 32 (Training to 40)
Moves: Water Pulse, Ice Beam, Recover, Twister.

So, I probably have a few other problems, but these are the main ones that I have come across myself:
1) I have two Water Pokemon, both with Ice Beam, and I don't want to get rid of either if possible.
2) I have two Fighting Pokemon, both with an abundance of Fighting-type moves.
3) Swellow only has Flying-type moves.
4) A lot of Pokemon have fairly weak moves that they learned as a low level, i.e. Peck, Water Gun, and Tackle
So, please post any comments or criticism.
P.S: I've cleared out Mt. Pyre, and have reached Lilycove City, if that helps.

1) Don't use same type attacks. Also, EQ>Mudshot.
2) Take a look at breloom's special attack. Then take a look at it's attack. PHEAR. Also, you completely screwed it over by deleting mach punch and evolving it, so now you don't have spore. D:
3) Swellow has too many flying attacks. >.<
4) Hariyama DIES at the hands of a ghost.
5) Take a look at Gardevoirs attack. Then, take a look at it's - Wow, deja vu!
6) Surf>WaterPulse, Anything>Twister

Responding to Carpetted!:
1) Not entirely sure what you mean by 'Don't use same type attacks', but Earthquake it is.
2) I thought Breloom learnt Spore, and I can relearn mach Punch, and breed another Shroomish.
3) I know. That's one of my problems that I wish to correct. Care to give a moveset?
4) See above.
5) I thought Ghost-type moves were classed as Special Attacks. My mistake. What would be a good move to put there instead?
6) Twister was just a filler move. Water Pulse was there because I liked it. Time to delete Water Pulse.
K, so when that's done, should I try the POTW movesets for all of them except Hariyama, because it isn't on there yet? Oh, and anyone know good moveset for Hariyama?

1) Surf+Dive = a bad combo. Surf takes care of fire and rock types, why use dive???
2) Only Shroomish learns spore. Without spore, breloom isn't bad, just mediocre.
3)Quick Attack/AerialAce/Facade/ Something else. Give it choice band. Swellow isn't great though.
4)Eh, don't know much about hariyama.
5)Willowisp, if you can't get that, maybe ice punch.
6) Mkay.

Ah. Breeding time for Breloom. And thanks for the adivce, and 0mastar, thanks for the site. It looks quite helpful.

 

[Absol!]

Swampert - Level 40
Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Mud Shot, Water Gun (Probably going to delete in favour of Dive when I reach Mossdeep.)
[Don't teach it Dive. That move is almost useless in battle, in my opinion. Keep Water Gun and exchange it for a better move later on. I'm too lazy to look one up right now ]

Breloom - Level 38 (Training to 40)
Moves: Mega Drain, Sky Uppercut, Cut, Strength
[Two HMs is not good, I'm afraid. In place of those should have been Mach Punch and Sky Uppercut, or Spore.]

Swellow - Level 40
Moves: Peck (Trying to find a move to delete it), Wing Attack, Fly, Aerial Ace
[Yes, get rid of Peck Replace it with... again, too lazy to look one up...]

Hariyama - Level 37 (Training to 40)
Moves: Tackle, Rock Smash, Vital Throw, Arm Thrust
[Get rid of this one, if possible. Breloom is better in some ways. Get an Electric-type - to balance out yor two Water-types - or Fire-type or Dark-type.]

Gardevoir - Level 38 (Training to 40)
Moves - Thunderbolt, Calm Mind, Shadow ball, Psychic
[Great ]

Milotic - Level 32 (Training to 40)
Moves: Water Pulse, Ice Beam, Recover, Twister.
[Pretty good. I haven't got much experience with a Miltoic - only had one previously - so I don't really know what to suggest.]

Your team looks great so far, just a few things to shape up Good luck!
