I don't see why you are using Dark Pulse over Shadow Ball unless it's for the flinch chance. Shadow Ball and Aura Sphere cover everything in the game. But that's my two cents.
HP Fire is Hidden Power Fire. Hehe, sorry. >_> But you have to breed for it, so if you don't like breeding, you can try out this physical Sceptile.
Sceptile @ Leftovers
Jolly
252 Attack 252 Speed 6 HP
-Swords Dance
-Leaf Blade
-Dragon Claw
-Brick Break / Thunderpunch / Earthquake
SubSeed
Sceptile @ Leftovers
Jolly/Timid
56 HP / 200 Def / 252 Spe
Sub
Leech Seed
HP Fire if Timid/ X-Scissor if Jolly
Energy Ball if Timid/ Leaf Blade if Jolly
My favorite. Sub, then seed them. When they are about to break your sub, sub again.
I find Smeargle to work better.
Smeargle @ Focus Sash(or whatever you prefer)
252 HP 252 Speed 6 Attack
-Spore
-Substitute
-Nasty Plot
-Baton Pass
You get one Pokemon asleep, a sub, a +2 Special Attack Boost with Smeargle. Screwed over by Tauntdos.
