  • Haunter (Timid)
    Ability: Levitate
    Moveset:
    Shadow Ball
    Psychic
    Thunderbolt
    Explosion
    Item: Life Orb

    Um, evolve it? lol You don't have to, just recommended. But idk...it's an in-game Haunter, so I can't say much. Maybe at least Hypnosis? It's what I always think about when I think of the Gastly line.

    Raikou (Modest)
    Ability: Pressure
    Moveset:
    Thunderbolt
    Calm Mind
    Crunch
    Reflect
    Item: Petaya Berry

    I recommend another move over Crunch seeing that you're setting up your Special stats with Calm Mind. My Raikou has Shadow Ball...maybe that? :< But it's just a suggestion; Crunch is still a great move imo.

    Kingdra (Modest)
    Ability: Sniper
    Moveset:
    Dragon Dance
    Outrage
    Surf
    Substitute
    Item: Leftovers

    I'm not one to care for natures, but why have a Modest Kingdra use D-dance and Outrage? Modest puts Spe. Att. > Attack. But it's in-game, so whatever works works.

    Most of these sets seem pretty good to me though. I'm sure they'll do wonders in the Battle Frontier.

  • Charizard: Flawless =) great moveset, fantastic strategy. Does it work well? I was actually thinking of getting one like that.
    Gallade: Pretty nice! Ever think of replacing Night Slash with Leaf Blade? There's more type coverage and power.
    Sceptile: Great item, fantastic moveset - nice!
    Kingdra: Ah, my favorite Pokemon. Nice taste ^^ I suggest Hydro Pump instead of Surf, to avoid splash damage and 1HKO some weak types.
    Haunter: Evolve it and it'll be absolute perfection.
    Raikou: Replace Crunch with Shadow Ball, to get more power and a boost from Calm Mind.
    Manetric. Love it. Try using a tricky item like a Choice Scarf to use with Switcheroo.

    Nice team, and great taste =D

    For Charizard; Belly Drum and Substitute? Cutting your own HP too much imo...and for Fire Punch and Earthquake? I don't agree with it

    For Kingdra; I would also go with more special moves for him. Maybe Dragon Pulse over Outrage?

    On Haunter Explosion doesn't fit logically. Haunter's defenses aren't good. It's made for speed and power so if it gets hit by something, chances are it won't survive. So you won't have time for Explosion. Go for Hypnosis over it.

    Uhm, Shadow Ball on Raikou could work over Crunch since it takes out the same things. I've got no comments on Manectric

  • well, maybe i'll remove Gallade's Close Combat and Replace it with Brick Break that way don't have stats reduced or Giga Impact for a great damage, and definitly the Thunder Wave, it has great speed, what's the point of reducing the speed of the rival? or if is by aflict status of pokemon, i rather use Toxic, but i definitly use Grudge =)
