ok, here's a little info to get you started since i dont have time to write a lot right now (i'm sure others will chime in soon enough though)

Comment 1: 90% of the time, you won't need more than one attack of a given type on one Pokemon.
Comment 2: I hope you weren't planning on attaching the Amulet Coin for the actual colosseum....


Espeon: It has Psychic, so lose Psybeam and Confusion. Maybe give it Morning Sun and Helping Hand or Protect as well.

Walrein: If you can trade it to a GBA, teach it Surf over Water Pulse...I have Water Pulse on my Walrein and often find myself wishing it had Surf instead. Rest over Aurora Beam.

Houndoom: No Ember. Crunch over Bite and Faint Attack. Maybe give it Sunny Day and Solar Beam since it has good Sp.Attack.

that's all i have for now...i might say more if i have time later and no one else says anything (like that's going to happen haha)

i don't lose
since you've obviously had your espeon evolved for a while, baton passing is out of the question, though it is one of espeon's best options. unfortunately, his moveset is limited. use what you're comfortable with, but if you have a quaker/exploder, you'll want protect on him, same with walrein.

for rhydon, give it earthquake, megahorn, double-edge and protect. rock blast is an option too. if you could imprison earthquake, you wouldn't need protect on as many pokes, but the limits of the move aren't quite clear to me, so i won't delve much deeper into that, but know it's a possibility.

and for moltres, flamethrower/fire blast, morning sun, extrasensory and some other attack, it comes out knowing will-o-wisp, may as well stick with that, if not for moltres than it will at the very least help your other teammates. if it's nature gives it a boost in physical attack, steel wing is effective against rock types, or you could give it sunny day to boost fire blast/flamethrower and hope for a quick KO that way. safeguard is another team move that helps in early rounds of the orre colosseum.

if you give moltres sunny day, exeggutor complements him well. ancient power, solar beam, sleep powder, and another move of your choice works well. otherwise go with zapdos, with metal sound, thunderbolt and extrasensory are both more effective, and for the fourth move either choose thunder wave for paralysis, substitute with leftovers for recovery (even shell bell would be an alternative), or you could use drill peck for more offense.

with two flyers and an ice type though, you have a weakness to rock that could be exploited, so be careful.

and the "legendaries" that aren't allowed include mewtwo, mew, celebi, jirachi, deoxys in any form, rayquaza, kyogre and groudon. (soul dew is not allowed on lati@s as well)... so the birds, dogs, and regis are allowed.

Actually, I think KingBattlus had the right idea... It's pretty obvious that Tai700 already has these Pokemon in the game and simply wants help with movesets... so Egg moves are out of the question by default.

Also, I'd say If you go for the Moltres and Exeggutor combo, you could do:

Moltres:
-Flamthrower/Fire Blast
-Morning Sun
-Extrasensory
-Protect

Exeggutor:
-Solar Beam
-Sunny Day
-Sleep Powder
-Explosion/Self Destruct (if you dont have access to GBA tutors, you should atleast be able to get SD from the in-game tutor)

Then thanks to Sunny Day, you'll have a Powerful, STAB'ed Special Attacker with good HP recovery, and a decently fast Solar Beamer to take out and water/rock types that try to stop Moltres that can also go boom if needed.

You could then consider dropping Houndoom and going for a more defensive Pokemon that won't be crippled by rock attacks. (Dusclops and Snorlax come to mind and would add to the defense of your team. Or maybe you could go for Tauros with Return, Earthquake, Rest and something else for a fast attacker that has decent defense)

Egg moves are part of a moveset, smart one. :rolleyes:

And you say KingBattlus had the right idea? lol. Look at the movesets he suggested...

chaos952, please read what I said carefully and you might understand why Egg moves are not valid in this case... as for the movesets, if you feel other people's ideas are so inferior, perhaps you could post what you'd do, given the constraints Tai700 has.

EDIT: I compared chaos952's suggestions to mine and KingBattlus' and I pretty much just see two different strategies...no big deal

As for Waterfall, it does have more power since Surf gets split in 2v2... but that doesn't automatically make it better than Surf IMO since being able to hit both opponents is often very helpful. It really depends on how you plan to use it...

I'd breed, utilize Linoone's Pickup ability, utilize move tutors, and trade. Oh, and I don't use TM's unless I absolutely have to.

I absolutely agree. ^_^


Just out of curiosity, what games do you have access to Tai700? Knowing that would help people post suggstions.
 
Lapras is at least ten times better than Walrein. Stop being a lazyass.
