Since I've finally figured out who I want on my team for my battle with Red and started raising them, I'll post them here. They are the Pokémon in my signature. Three of them are EV trained, three are not. Some of the moves and items I intend to use in the "ultimate showdown" aren't decided yet because I still have a lot of training to do.

Heh, lots of people seem to be using the legandaries, but to each their own. Your team seems a bit defensive and needs some sweepers or healers to complete your set. If your opening with Raichu(Fake Out), i'd suggest using someone else. Although i like Typhlosion and your moveset is decent for him at this point(no breeding/IV breeding)...Also try and diversify your moveset, ie, i like your focus blast and your flamethrower on the same pokemon but like on Raichu if your making him physical, Volt Tackle/Thunderpunch/ Focus punch or Brick Break/ Iron Tail or for the Special Raichu, Thunderbolt, Nastyplot(Pichu learns it at level 18) Focus Blast and Filler move.
I'm still looking at different team makeups so many pokemon that i like/love.
Here are a few of what I have already (i'm 14 badges in, took a break to do some gts and leveling and pokemon finding/safari building)
Mamoswine(Haven't seen many people using this pokemon, he's amazing) (Ev Trained for Attack and Speed. Level 50 atm, knows Earthquake, Ice Shard and Ice Fang and Stone's Edge i think.......
Jolteon(I actually breeded 25+ eevees till i got one of each nature and evolved them to the appoapriate evolutions)....
Has Choice Specs (EV trained for Sp. A and speed) (Timid Nature)
Knows Thunderbolt, Hidden Power, Shadow Ball, and still trying to fill in the last slot...
Dragonite(just evolved...yay!), Dragon Claw, ExtremeSpeed, Waterfall, and Thunder Wave atm, but may get something else..., EV for Attack and speed (Timid)
Vaporeon (semi wall till i can get it WIsh or get Blissey)
Goal set teams i'm trying to build for Red are:
Mamoswine(Lead)
Lucario(Mix Sweeper)
Vaporeon(Wish/Wall)
Jolteon(Special Sweeper)
Dragoonite(Phy. Sweeper)
Gardevoir(support/statuser/Wall)
or/and
Houndoom(just got it gonna start breeding them later tonight) (Lead or Mix attacker not sure yet)
Garchomp(phy sweeper)
Blissey(Sp. Wall/Healer)
Togekiss (Special sweeper)
Rhyperior/Dusknoir(walls)
Lucarior/Infernape/Heracross(Phys/Mix Attacker)
Items would be Choice Band for the phy sweeapers, Choice Scarf for Jolt and Choice Spec for most of the rest and if i can find some recovery items to hold then i'd use them on my walls like Leftovers.
