    So for the purposes of this run, I am only using Normal types, including those that are Normal/Something. I have got all 8 badges and am gearing up to fight the E4 and as you might imaging it is tricky getting the right mix of moves with all normals. I had traded a few in to jump start things but mostly they are from HG. Here is what I have so far. Let me know what you think.

    Kangaskhan
    Scrappy
    Hasty
    Dizzy Punch
    Crunch
    Flamethrower
    Outrage

    Pigeot
    Keen Eye
    Timid
    Agility
    Twister
    Wing Attack
    Quick Attack

    Noctowl
    Keen Eye
    Bashful
    Take Down
    Fly
    Confusion
    Hypnosis

    Spinda
    Own Tempo
    Hardy
    Psybeam
    Dizzy Punch
    Faint Attack
    Rock Smash

    Clefairy
    Magic Guard
    Lax
    Strength
    Wake-up Slap
    Shadow Ball
    Magical Leaf

    I plan to get the Clefairy Meteor Mash but I am not sure what to replace and of course I'll evolve it to Clefable. I also have the TM Thunderbolt to address that gap but am not sure what Pokemon to put it on.

    Any suggestions are welcome but I am mostly looking for Moveset advice and advice on alternate Pokemon. I know the importance of getting the proper Nature and Ability but rarely have the patience to hunt them down.

    Thanks!

  • Ooh, I really like this idea, very creative! I'll see if I can help any.

    I really like this set a lot, unfortunately, flamethrower is not that great on 40 base sp. atk, Aqua Tail or Drain Punch would be better.

    Pigeot
    Keen Eye
    Timid
    Agility
    Twister
    Wing Attack
    Quick Attack

    Oh how I wish this guy learned better moves! Your best option is pretty much what you have already, but with Return and U-Turn over Agility and Twister.

    Noctowl
    Keen Eye
    Bashful
    Take Down
    Fly
    Confusion
    Hypnosis

    Hypnosis, Shadow Ball, Dream Eater, and Heat Wave (says Move Tutor but it may be a Battle Tower or whatnot one, if so, then go with Air Slash).

    Spinda
    Own Tempo
    Hardy
    Psybeam
    Dizzy Punch
    Faint Attack
    Rock Smash

    Rock Slide, Dizzy Punch, Sucker Punch, and maybe Shock Wave. Not a great Pokemon but CPUs are so dumb it won't be an issue.

    Clefairy
    Magic Guard
    Lax
    Strength
    Wake-up Slap
    Shadow Ball
    Magical Leaf

    Yeah, definitely Meteor Mash. Also, Moonlight, Ice Beam, and Flamethrower would cover the other attacks your team is missing.

    I plan to get the Clefairy Meteor Mash but I am not sure what to replace and of course I'll evolve it to Clefable. I also have the TM Thunderbolt to address that gap but am not sure what Pokemon to put it on.

    Good luck!!
