    Is there any good substitute for Thunderpunch, since I can't teach it in Diamond?

    And not to make another thread:

    I've been breeding Elekids and Charmanders, and Elekids have been running horrible IV's but the Charmanders have ratheer excellent IV's for their purpose:

    I got three DD Charmanders, and are running these IV's

    Charmander 1:
    HP: 13
    ATT: 17
    DEF: 2 (ick!)
    SPEED: 30
    SP ATTACK: 29 (wasted on him...)
    SP DEF: 18

    The reason this one is up here is that I could rebreed, and use as Special Sweep Charizard.

    Charmander 2:
    HP: 24
    ATT: 28
    DEF: 2 (._.)
    SPEED: 30
    SP ATT: 11
    SP DEF: 25

    I was probably going to use this one but it's defense is so abysmal, one Stonde Edge is a guaranteed OHKO.

    Charmander 3:
    HP: 29
    ATT:12
    DEF:28
    SPEED: 30
    SP ATT 11
    SP DEF: 15

    But there's this one, much more resilient, with much better DEF, and still running 30 SPEED IV.

    Any help? And they're all Adamant.

    There's Rock Slide. >_>

    I believe you are thinking of countering Skymaory.

    I'm counting on:

    Agility
    Earthquake
    Meteor Mash
    (Thunderpunch substitute)

    I think I'll stick with Rock Slide, as Skarmory Counter.
