  • I'm going to guess this is a HG/SS Team, but it could be Platinum and you traded Gatr over, or even White. At any rate, grinding is really going to be your best friend here. If you make sure every team member is at Lv. 40, then you'll probably be able to beat Clair.

    You might want to replace Focus Punch on Togekiss for something like Shadow Ball to take advantage of its Special Attack stat. If you have a heart scale, then use it to get Ice Fang on Feraligatr instead of Cut, and use Waterfall over Surf, as Feraligatr wants Physical Moves to do the most damage it can, even if this is in-game, Feraligatr can really pack a punch with Physical STAB and its Base 105 Attack Stat. You also should make sure to let Gyarados have Ice Fang when it learns it at Lv. 32, as it might come in handy for you. Finally, you may want to look into getting an Ampharos or Jolteon if Gyarados and Kingdra still give you trouble, if you're willing to raise one, that is.

    It is HG/SS :3

    My Togekiss did have Shadow Ball, but I replaced it with Focus Punch o_o
    I'll replace Cut with Ice Fang. :)
    So this is what I guess my team will look like:

    Togetic Lv.41
    Psychic
    Shadow Ball
    Fly
    Metronome

    Bob Lv.42
    Crunch
    Dragon Dance
    Ice Fang
    Dragon Rage

    Muscle Lv.42
    Strength
    Revenge
    Protect
    Thief

    Crunchie (Fera) Lv. 44
    Crunch
    Shadow Claw
    Waterfall
    Ice Fang (Or Ice Beam)

    Jolteon lv. 43
    Thunder Fang
    Double-Kick
    Strength
    Pin Missile.

    Is this ok?

  • My comments and changes will be in BOLD.

    Togetic Lv.41
    Psychic
    Shadow Ball
    Fly
    Wish/Shock Wave/Flamethrower

    If you can trade from another game, I highly recommend trading over a Shiny Stone and evolving it into Togekiss. And give Togekiss the following:
    -Air Slash
    -Aura Sphere
    -Roost
    -Shock Wave/Flamethrower

    That'll be Togekiss's best set. If you can't get a Shiny Stone, then Togetic's set is fine as it is, just replace Metronome.

    Bob Lv.42
    Earthquake
    Dragon Dance
    Ice Fang
    Waterfall

    Earthquake is a Must-Have here, as is Waterfall. Everything else is fine.

    Muscle Lv.42
    Strength
    Revenge/Brick Break
    Dig/Bulk Up/
    Payback

    That's what I can do at the moment. What's the ability? If it's No Guard, then you want Dynamicpunch at Lv51 as your Fighting move. Brick Break is better than Revenge unless you're really slow.


    Crunchie (Fera) Lv. 44
    Crunch
    Shadow Claw
    Waterfall
    Ice Fang (Or Ice Beam)

    What are your SpAtk and Atk stats? If its not too much of a difference, you can go with a mixed set with Ice Beam, Surf, Crunch, Return

    Jolteon lv. 43
    Thunder Fang
    Double-Kick
    Strength
    Pin Missile.

    Not much you can do with Jolteon here. Jolteon should've been taught Shadow Ball instead of Togetic. I'll see what I can do, though.
    -Thunderbolt/Discharge/Thunder
    -Thunder Wave/Rain Dance
    -Charge Beam
    -Attract???

    Like I said, Jolteon's movepool is pretty shallow. You could try the Rain Dance + Thunder Combo, since that will also power up Gyarados' and Feraligatr's Water attacks. Not much else you can do. Jolteon really needed Shadow Ball.

    Hope I helped out a bit. I have no idea what TMs you have, or if you can trade TMs over from other games, so I don't know what other moves you have acess to.
