Jumpluff-Leftovers
Encore(For them pesky hazers :P!!!!)
Leech Seed
Mega Drain
Stun Spore
Marowak-Thick club

Earthquake
Rest
Sleep Talk
Kingdra-Mystic Water
Haze
Headbutt
Icebeam
Surf
Snorlax-Leftovers(Yeah...it's a cliché Curselax)
Curse

Tell me what ya think. BTW, is there any way to change gender on NetBattle. I wanted to put Attract on my Jumpluff, but it's rather worthless since it's male.
Thanks!!!!

Mr. Mime-Leftovers
Baton Pass
Light Screen
Curse
Reflect
Too indirect... Mr. Mime can learn Psychic and T-bolt. I'd take away Curse and Reflect, put in Psychic and Barrier (for Baton Pass). If Light Screen works for you, then ok.
Electrode-Magnet
Double Team
Hidden Power(Grass)
Thunderbolt
Toxic
It's... ok I guess. I'd replace the item though.
Jumpluff-Leftovers
Encore(For them pesky hazers !!!!)
Leech Seed
Mega Drain
Stun Spore
Mega Drain? Giga Drain :). This type of set is effective, I've seen it... encore is also good for Earthquakers, since Jumpluff can outspeed most EQ users.
Marowak-Thick club
Belly Drum
Earthquake
Rest
Sleep Talk
Belly Drum + TC = uneccessary overkill. Plus 'wak's speed is crappy. I'd replace BD with either Body Slam (for paralysis) or rock slide (for flyers). Marowak has low speed and average special defense, so I'm not sure if rest-talking is the best.
Kingdra-Mystic Water
Haze
Headbutt
Icebeam
Surf
I think guy would make a better rester than wak. Rest, Sleep Talk, last moves are either Surf, Ice Beam, or Dragon Breath. Item could be replaced too, maybe with mint berry.
Snorlax-Leftovers(Yeah...it's a cliché Curselax)
Curse
Earthquake
Rest
Sleep talk
Mmm... EQ can only take you so far. I don't feel this team needs both a curelax and a TC marowak. One could be replaced. Maybe Miltank, Granbull, or barbie-egg for heal belling? Either way, I think Snorlax does better with body slam or return for STAB.
Well... that was my so-so rate.

I completely changed my team, and my new one is working pretty great for me. I'll post it all later, but for now I'll just post my starter.
Shuckle-Leftovers
Rest
Toxic
Sandstorm
Wrap
He can do some serious damage. :)

Your kidding right? Wrap? Shuckle status is based on pure Def/Sp.Def not attacking, and with such low Atk power Warap would do 1 damage. If a Steel type came out like Skymory then you would be screwed. The only good combo with it is prob:
Curse - Keep doing this for a while, powers you up everything but Speed and basicly makes you a living wall. If your using this on Netbattle its even better, theres a lack of people using Haze these days.
Rest - If by some strange reason you start running low on HP just sleep.
Toxic - Since Shuckle can't do much damage on its own this is good.
-- - A Rock or Ground move here, im not sure which ones it can learn. I would check Netbattle but im at school right now.

Wrap is so that an enemy can't escape while it's being both badly poisoned and hit by a sandstorm. ;)

Yes, very deadly. However, with a Shuckle, for the simple purpose of damaging, I'd suggest Constrict over Wrap; they're both going to do 1 damage anyway, so you'd want to have the PP to keep it up.

But constrict doesn't hold them.... X.x

Use wrap... wrap has a certain set amount of damage that varies depending on max hp. So regardless of whoever you're up against, wrap will do the "same damage" in the long run (provided that they don't rest which isn't likely)
Go with the moveset now as it's a very old standard. With such little attack power, with or without curse it'll be minimal damage (during the 6 turn of curse, why not score some damage with toxic?) Of course there is always the threat of a Pokemon that isn't affected by rest and etc, so take note... hopefully the rest of your team got some strong anti blissey, snorlax, steel types.

Awwww, so my Shuckle is cliche? All along I thought it was my own doing. :(
