next time remember to post items and personality as well ^_^;

Sceptile- modest @ leftovers (pretty much written in stone that most Sceptiles are like this:)
-leaf blade
-crunch
-dragon claw
-rest

There are other sets that are more original, but those you'll have to think for yourself. Plus they require quite a bit of luck at times too...

Raichu- modest @ lum berry/leftovers
-sweet kiss
-thunderwave
-thunderbolt
-wish/HP water/HP ice

Annoyer setup... what else to say.

Sableye- (bold/calm) @ leftovers
-toxic
-confuse ray
-mean look
-recover

I don't think Sableye can really attack at all... crappy crappy stats.

Wobbuffet- (bold/calm) @ leftovers
-encore
-mirror coat
-counter
-destiny bond

what else are you expecting...? perish song? XD

Salamence- adamant @ leftovers
-dragon dance
-double edge
-earthquake
-brick break/aerial ace

classical and powerful... but still like almost all dragons, one ice beam is enough to shoot this down

Aggron- adamant @ leftovers (Rock Head ability)
-roar
-double edge
-earthquake
-rest

Almost a republicate of Salamence which bugs me... if you want throw in HP anything physical to have diversity... this team's elemental distribution is quite limited and has to rely on HP too often to get these necessary elementals covered.

No ice attacks can be a major problem, as most dragon dancers are 4x weak to ice.

[Venasaur]

Wow... that's a lot of breeding... :nervous:
Are there... any more suggestions?

[Iveechan]

Why not replace Sableye with a Walrein? There are many options for the blue brawler. The most common natures are quiet and modest, depending on the moves used.

Pick 4: ice beam *must have*, surf *must have*, body slam *good for quiet*, encore *it has its uses*, earthquake *also good for quiet, I think Spheal can learn the move also so just breed one with a Camerupt*, yawn *psuedohaze, breed with Slakoth*. Then there's HP electric, but if this team is ingame, then forget about that.

Walrein seriously needs quiet or modest natures to boost its so-so special attack. This guy has decent staying power so it is great for a team. The best part about Walrein (besides stab ice beam) is that its thick fat makes it strong to fire and an ice attack will do almost no damage.

[Venasaur]

Oooo... thanks! I love Walrein anyway, so I was planning to train one anyway!
:classic:

[Frostweaver]

Too lazy to check my personality chart, but lowering speed for sp.att is a good choice for him (not sure if it's quiet or not...). It's a perfect yawn-er. There's so much good moves with him like what Iveechan said already. I'm not 100% sure but it maybe capable of learning rock slide as well, but that you should check. So many movesets... *drool*

[Iveechan]

Yes... Rock Slide from the camel of doom. I LOVE Walrein. And quiet is the one that lowers speed. That's the one bad thing about Walrein... too many moves to choose from @_@

[Venasaur]

A yawning walrus that can toss rocks... I like it. I like it a lot. Maybe I should do one or the other, to save time...

... While I'm here... my Pichu won't evolve! Why?

[Iveechan]

It has to be happy... holding that thing you win in a contest willl help its mood. Soothe Bell i think it's called. Also feeding it vitamins, letting it fight, not letting it faint, and healing it of ailments fast should help its mood. I REALLY hate happiness evolution, one of the worst additions to the new Pokemon games (GS).

[Venasaur]

Oh, crap. It's at lv 25. I really have to hustle...

[Frostweaver]

no point then... when it's lvl 5, you should use rare candy to get it to lvl 99 from lvl 5 for EV perfection. Then use vitamins and other things to boost happiness. Then EV train the last lvl and it'll evolve to Pikachu. Then thunderstone and with Box Trick you'll get your desired Raichu.

[Iveechan]

... there's a box trick in Ruby? As in cloning?

[Venasaur]

Whoa... Way over my head... *topic goes over head* See?

[Frostweaver]

no... just means leaving it in the PC so that its effort points earned even at lvl 100 will take effect and grow in stats.. that's all

[Venasaur]

... okay, maybe I'll just catch a Pikachu. That seems simple enough for me. But,
thanks for the comments, anyway.
