Please suggest a Pokemon Black team for me
 
I'm getting Pokemon Black for my birthday and I need a team to use in-game!

My Trainer's Name: Nichole

Gender: Female

Starter: Oshawott

Post if you can find the best combinations!

Perriechu June 14th, 2011 11:14 AM

Just so you know, we're not supposed to build your team for you. Choose 6 Pokemon you want post them, then we can rate them...

IceSage June 14th, 2011 2:15 PM

Build a team first, and we can swap, arrange, and replace moves and Pokemon later, for what works well with something else.

Hikamaru June 14th, 2011 4:53 PM

I'm trying to use these combinations, and I want you to rate the best.

Lilligant is up there because in the game you can trade Cottonee for a Petilil.

I would use the one with Nuttrei in it, just because he's freaking amazing--eats up damage like a boss and Iron Barbs = death to all. You also have Urgamoth on the same team, which is a definite plus. Shibirudon is also a very good Pokemon with a very diverse movepool. Urgamoth is nigh impossible to raise and use before the E4 (but I did it in my first run-through anyway).

Oh, yeah. I meant Ferrothorn, Volcarona, and Eelektross.

(D)

(C) is also good (it's basically what my team is now, except the starter was Smugleag, who I dropped for Ferrothorn, the bug was Pendoraa and the Fighting-type was Zuruzukin). Darmanitan is absolute win (but make sure your Darumaka has Hustle and not Inner Focus) and Swoobat is pretty versatile early-game.

If I could mix them around, I'd do
Daikenki, Symboler, Hihidaruma, Nattorei / Elfoon, Shibirudon, and Urgamoth.

...
...
Oh.

Samurott, Sigilyph, Darmanitan, Ferrothorn / Whimsicott, Eelektross, Volcarona.

Whimsicott is very good once it learns Giga Drain. Trust me.
Sigilyph is ridiculously strong--like ridiculous. And fast too. One of the times you battle N, he has one and it will sweep your team.

This team looks pretty good, if you don't mind trading over Tepig and such. However, you have a blazing weakness to Bug types, and if I remember correctly Ghesthis has a Volcarona and that thing is strong and will hurt you. Also, I prefer Whimsicott over lilligant, but I guess that is just a personal preferance.

(B) http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_503samurott.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_514simisear.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_521unfezant.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_530excadrill.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_523zebstrika.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_542leavanny.png

This team looks nice too, as long as you don't mind having your whole team before the third gym. You'll find that Simisear has a terrible moveset and is outclassed by Chandelure (and Volcarona, if you don't mind grinding). I'm not sure about Unfezant or Zebstrika, but I've heard that Zebstrika is frail and that Unfezant is pretty strong (I think). Excadrill is amazing and will help you out a lot, and Leavanny is also pretty strong, and if you use her I suggest running around a lot in Pinwheel forest to max her happiness to evolve her before the Bug gym so that she can dominate (which she did for me if I remember correctly). Also this team is crippled by Rock and Ground types, so just use your brain in those situations to counter it.

(C) http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_503samurott.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_528swoobat.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_555darmanitan-standard.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_586sawsbuck-spring.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_596galvantula.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_620mienshao.png

This team looks fun. I used Swoobat, and it is fairly okay pre-E4 but then it is just outclassed by everything and wont do you much good, even during the E4. Darmanitan is pretty strong and should hold well, and Sawsbuck would be fun to use in my opinion. Galvantula is pretty good, and its typing provides nice type coverage. Mienshao is also good, as long as you don't mind getting it really late in the game. I suggest using Conkeldurr/Throh/Sawk since you can get them early, instead of Mienshao. Once again, this team is weak to Rock, so have Samurott and Mienshao handy in the caves.

(D) http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_503samurott.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_630mandibuzz.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_637volcarona.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_598ferrothorn.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_604eelektross.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_573cinccino.png

I wouldn't use this team just because you get most of them late in the game. You can't find Mandibuzz until after the 7th or 8th gym (I think), and Volcarona you will get late and will have to grind like 40 levels. Ferrothorn and Eelektross are sort of at a place that I would call the last place I would catch a team member, because you find them where it is pretty central and you wont have to grind too much, etc. I'm not sure how good Cinccino is, but she looks pretty :D Weakness wise, this team is extremely well rounded and wont easily fall to any one type.

(E) http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_503samurott.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_609chandelure.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_521unfezant.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_547whimsicott.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_553krookodile.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_576gothitelle.png

I like this team as well. Chandelure is great, and I've heard Unfezant is, Whimsicott is cute and does pretty well as well, and I've heard good things about Krookodile and Gothitelle. This team has pretty bad weakness to Ice and Bug, so be sure to strategize accordingly.

(F) http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_503samurott.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_635hydreigon.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_643reshiram.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_586sawsbuck-spring.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_561sigilyph.pnghttp://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/Hikari10Girl/Pokemon%20Sprites%20Collection/th_523zebstrika.png

The only problem with this team is that you won't get 1/3 of it until right before or during the E4. Hydreigon is awesome, and strong while at it, as is Reshiram. Sawsbuck is pretty good and would be fun to use, and Sigilyph is crazy good and a lot better than Swoobat (sorry Swoobat D:). I have heard the Zebstrika can be frail, but I don't know. This team is really weak to Ice, so just keep that in mind.



Overall, I think I would choose Team B, but replace Simisear with Chandelure and Zebstrika with Eelektross.

Gymnotide June 16th, 2011 5:09 PM

Alder has the Volcarona, not Ghetsis.
And it's 58 levels for Volcarona before E4 the first time, but then you can get a wild one for the second run-through.

Also, Hydreigon is like... Near impossible to get before the first E4 because he finishes at level 74--He's only good with breeding, so that's 73 levels of training. Zweilous is definitely not worth it because he sucks.

Eelektross completely outclasses Zebstrika.
Whimsicott~Prankster is a hell lot more useful than Lilligant and can't die ever (actually it never died when I used it because of Giga Drain).
Ferrothorn is a very, very good Pokemon. Give him a Rugged Helmet for in-game and he'll wreck anything that tries to touch him. You can just spam Curse.

I might not end up going with A if my bro (antho007911) won't let me trade.

I might go with E - so deku says massive Bug and Ice weakness with Team E? Chandelure can deal with both Bug and Ice types, you know (It is part Fire-type).

PlatinumDude June 18th, 2011 12:39 AM

I'd use Team F, except that I'd replace Zebstrika with Galvantula or Eelektross.

June 18th, 2011 7:52 AM

How did anyone get the idea that Unfezant is good? What set can you run for Unfezant? Its most reliable Flying attack is... Aerial Ace (I guess if it holds a power herb, you can use Sky Attack... once).

Unfezant @ Life Orb/Power Herb
U-Turn
Aerial Ace/Sky Attack
Return
Hypnosis/Roost

252 Atk/252 Spe/4 SDef

Is the only set it can run effectively at all.
Too bad it didn't get Steel Wing or a Fighting move. That might have tipped it off.

Meh. Not that good. Staraptor still takes the cake.

Ducklighter June 21st, 2011 2:39 AM

Group C & E is a great match up to me.

Oh, I had no idea that Braviary is on exclusive for White. That sucks majorly since it's a badass flying type. I guess you're stuck with Unfezant or another crossbreed flying type.

CyberBlaziken June 21st, 2011 3:10 AM

F is the one i'm liking.
Just replace Zebstrika with Elektross.

Or you could try team B. seems fine enough.

Yes, I am choosing Unfezant.

As for CyberBlaziken's comment, I like Zebstrika way better than Eelektross.

thetenthdoctor June 21st, 2011 7:43 AM

Well, in my run through of white, Krookodile, Haxorus, Samurott, and Victini were the real cornerstones on me team. I understand not using Victini because it is a legendary and some people don't use legendaries, so maybe you could use Darmanitan as an alternative. I'd go with Garvantula over Eelektross. Eelektross was just too slow.

That's just my opinion. Try and win with your favorites :)

June 21st, 2011 12:27 PM

Um... you seem to be making some strange decisions...

What does anyone see in Unfezant? Can someone answer me that?
Disagree with both there, sorry. Anyone with White can trade you a Braviary, and it's way better than Unfezant.
What do you find in Zebstrika? Speed? That's all it has over Eelektross. I use both, I know. Do you just not want Eelektross because you've already caught a Zebstrika or because Tynamo are hard to find or something?

Chandelure is one Pokemon. An amazing one, but nevertheless. Chandelure will faint at some point before all of your Bug and Ice weak Pokemon have in almost every battle (seeing as you have three Pokemon weak to Bug and three to Ice).

Again, what does anyone see in Unfezant?

Gymnotide June 21st, 2011 3:54 PM

It's also in-game and any Pokemon can be used in-game.
If the OP wants to use a team that is subpar on a competitive level, so be it.

Though, I wonder why you suggested all those Pokemon if you obviously preferred others.

Unfezant just looks like a great bird. Braviary is nice, but because my brother will be playing White he won't usually let me trade cos he is just too rough.

And I have not even played Black yet, my birthday is in October so I have not caught any Unova Pokes yet.

It's because some I like the design of, others not. As for the Zebstrika/Eelektross issue. I prefer Zebstrika cos of better design.

I'm not much of a competitive player.

I haven't even registered a Friend Code yet.

swap01 June 27th, 2011 8:33 PM

What about Archeops as an alternative to Unfezant? I used Unfezant for about the first 5 or so gym badges, then I switched over because Unfezant just wasn't cutting it. Archeops is awesome... as long as he doesn't get attacked because his defence isn't super high, his attack makes up for it though.

I'm not using Archeops cos it has the WORST EVER ABILITY.

Defeatist cuts Archeops' offensive power if it takes too many hits.

Nice design but hate it.

Swoob at has done amazing for everyone in my family with BW, we've tried sigilyph and it just doesn't work as well.

It might have the worst ability ever, but it's not like its going to actually take any hits. Hit extremely hard, hit extremely fast, then die. That's Archeops.

You can't exactly say you hate it because of its ability when you haven't even used it yet.

Archeops is awesome. It doesn't have great HP so like what Snorelacks said, its ability isn't going to be a pain because it probably won't activate. I used one on my White. It was sent in, destroyed everything, then got knocked out. Way better than Unfezant, who could barely give out any damage. I used it on my Black version and it was not very good.

Archeops over Unfezant.

My brother also used Sigilyph and it worked great for him. I haven't used Swoobat so I can't offer you any advice with him.

But seriously? Archeops over Unfezant.

I may not have my Black yet, but I already know Archeops has the worst ever ability cos it cuts Attack and Sp. Atk power if he takes too many hits.

Never using Archeops, It's too risky and I'm not a fan of fossil Pokemon.

I don't know but if the user doesn't want to use the Pokemon we suggest, then he/she doesn't have to. You can't be upset because he/she thinks ther choice they made is better than the choice you made.

As for the thread creator, I say use Pokemon you like. once you know what Pokemon you want to use, then we could give you a proper rating or an idea for movesets.

July 16th, 2011 7:55 PM

That's too bad...
Have you ever tried using an earlier generation's Flying-Type like Staraptor, Swellow, or Skarmory?
I'd put in Aerodactyl but you don't like fossil Pokemon...

I also have to agree with this. Win with your favorites if you want (and it would be strange not to), but don't ask for suggestions if you won't change your Pokemon.

Catch Sandile - Axew - Darumaka - Joltik and Vullaby

From There You Can Have This Team

Samurott

Megahorn
Blizzard or Ice Beam
Swords Dance or Revenge

Krookodile
Earthquake
Crunch
Outrage or Dragon Claw
Brick Break

Haxuros
Dragon Claw or Dual Chop (they both does the same damege)
Earthquake
Dragon Dance or Swords Dance (from your choise)
Outrage

Darmanitan
Fire Punch

Rock Slide
Flare Blitz

Sucker Punch

Mandibuzz
Brave Bird
Dark Pulse
Bone Rush
Nasty Plot

Tyranitar042 August 11th, 2011 10:35 AM

Ok enough about which is better or worse its not competetive battling its ingame all of the pokemon are good otherwise they wouldnt have made them. I say if you like using Unfezant use it bc it's base 105 atk is nothing to shake a stick at. Use Tailwind for speed boosting in case it faints so u can revenge kill. U-Turn out or deal major damage with Acrobatics. Roost off damage, or Facade Status afflictions for boosted STAB damage. Basic as that. You can also pick this pokemon up early so for earl training.

Unfezant
Acrobatics
Roost/Facade
U-Turn
Tailwind

In Pinwheel forest catch a Sewaddle and evolve it to Swadloon. Train with it there for a happiness boost and find lots of feathers on the bridge to give to it for another happiness boost. When it evloves into Leavanny teach it Swords Dance, Leaf Blade, X-Scissors, and False Swipe. Yes, I said False Swipe, it's ingame and you have top catch other pokemon not just battle so False Swipe is a good move to learn. I'm not saying keep it all the way till the end just until u have your pokemon you want thats all.

Leavanny
Swords Dance
Leaf Blade
X-Scissors
False Swipe/Aerial Ace/whatever you want

Then you can catch Sandile on your way to Nimbasa level it up evolve it and teach it these moves. Dig, Crunch, Retaliate, Sand-Attack or Embargo. To beat Elesa with ease. When it evolves into Krookodile teach it Bulldoze, Crunch, Rockslide, Dragon Claw.

Krookodile
Bulldoze
Crunch
Rockslide/Stone Edge
Dragon Claw

Then beat Clay and go into Chargestone cave where you can choose between Joltik or Tynamo both Electric but joltik has Bug typing and Tynamo has Levitate ability giving it no weaknesses which is great and all but it takes alot of training whereas Joltik doesn't need much training and is fast to boot. I think you would be better off with Joltik/Galvantula. Galvantula's attacks are strong but it wont get its best attack until lv.60 Bug Buzz just use Signal Beam until then. Thunderbolt is strong but just a smidgen stronger than Discharge which has a 30 % chance to paralyze unlike Thunderbolt's 10% its your choice. Volt Switch is a very good move bc if its in on a pokemon you dont want to face Volt Switch out deal damage and get outta there. Gastro Acid is a nice move early on but replace it for Energy Ball later on you wont get the TM until you beat the E4 and go through a gaunlet of trainers.

Galvantula
Signal Beam/Bug Buzz
Discharge/Thunderbolt
Voltswitch
Gastro Acid/Energy Ball

Last pokemon is Litwick which evolves into Chandelure. Shadow Ball is self-explanitory, Flamethrower, Psychic, Confuse Ray. Good movesets and confuse Ray hits 100% for confusion, u cant argue with that.

Chandelure
Shadow Ball
Flamethrower
Psychic
Confuse Ray/Energy Ball

Your starter is the basis of your pokemon this team is terrible against rock thats where Samurott comes in. Surf, Megahorn, Grass Knot, Revenge. Replace Revenge for Ice Beam ASAP unless you cant go without it. Megahorn hits way harder than X-Scissors and its accuracy is usable. Grass Knot is for Water/Ground types.

Samurott
Surf
Megahorn
Grass Knott
Revenge/Ice Beam

Yes its weak to rock, yes Stone Edge is available for most pokemon to use but they wont get to use it they wont live long enough to use it. And there wont be any LATE game training when you catch them they can be used for the next gym you are about to face so it will gain its levels there. hope this helps.

I'm not really a Darmanitan and Galvantula fan, hate their appearance.

And don't expect me using Haxorus as I rarely use Dragon-types...

Tyranitar042 August 14th, 2011 7:03 AM

If you are going to post a thread then you must at least be open to what we say you can't ask for help and then blow off everything we say. The reason we give our opinions is bc we as a community have already used the the pokemon and already know how they stack up in the game and mt post was about how you could get all the types you needed through out the game without having to seriously grind any pokemon on weaker pokemon in the wild and everybody in the team would be even. But, if you are set in stone about the pokemon you use then Zebstrika should be about 4-5 levels over any pokemon that you want to beat, ex. against the E4 theirs are about 50ish make sure your Zebstrika is about 60 for it to actually do anything, as for elektross it has bulk so it can withstand attacks and deal some major attacks and galvantula may not take too many hits but it is fast enough to deal some major damage.

If you choose Zebstrika

FlameCharge
Spark/WildCharge(when it learns WildCharge)
ThunderWave
Stomp

I mean, nice Zebstrika moveset. Wild Charge causes recoil, and I don't like my Pokemon hurting themselves after attacking.

Give it Shell Bell then if you don't want your Pokemon to take damage (or at least get the HP you lost back). It restores some HP after each attack, you can find it at Driftveil and by the time you learn Wild Charge you'd have bypassed that city anyway so you can go back and get it, then once you beat the Elite Four (and want to have a rematch with them, or beat the post game trainers) go to Village Bridge and take the Leftovers from there, replacing Shell Bell which'll heal your HP much faster than Shell Bell, which is reliant on attacks, whereas leftovers isn't, so if you were to use a boost of some sort (or use thunderwave even, for that moveset) it'd still restore HP, whereas shell bell wouldn't.

dont ever think to choose Mandibuzz.. cuz its a hard way to get it until after gym 7..so Unfezant is much better...
and maybe you can change Gothitelle for Chandelure or.. idk its your choice

Both are good, I'd keep Unfezant/Samurott/Chandelure/Gothitelle but I don't really like Eelektross (despite the no weaknesses) or Darmanitan (also design-wise). I'd use Whimsicott over Leavanny (the latter has 2 4x weaknesses which is not nice) but I like Zebstrika's design better than Eelektross.

But keep finding some combinations! If you need to find a good combination, I suggest Marriland's Team Builder.

Well then, why don't you yourself use Marriland's Team Builder. I mean, it's not like we can read your mind and know what Pokemon you like and dislike. -_-

Anyways, I'll just throw in my 2 cents or so.

I went with your idea of keeping Samurott, Unfezant and Chandelure. But, may I suggest using Sigilyph? It's more of the offensive side, but if you wish, you can just stick with Gothitelle who is a special defense wall. Galvantul$a is a more appropriate choice over Zebstrika. Even though its slightly slower than the zebra, Compoundeyes gives a lethal Thunder plus its immune to Ground and has a great Sp. Atk(only 3 points higher than Zebstrika's Atk). And it has brilliant type coverage with Bug. I presume you're gonna have a bit of a tough time with the last gym since you don't use Dragon types so Ice-types like Vanilluxe come in chillin' the zone. High Sp. Atk and its ability comes useful in hail, which allows you to abuse Blizzard. It can also learn Flash Cannon to remove Rock.

All the Pokemon can be easily obtained. Vanillite at Cold Storage, so you have ample training time before you reach Opelucid. Joltik at Chargestone Cave (where Tynamo is, but you didn't like it so...) and Sigilyph at the Desert Resort. :3 I don't know whether I listed some that you dislike, but oh well, you asked and so you shall receive. ;;

TY August 17th, 2011 1:05 AM

I think this is the best team to have

Samurott
Krookodile
Leavanny
Chandelure
Gigalith
Sigilph

Krookodile has two great abilities: Moxie and Intimidate. Chandelure´s Sp.Atk is very high. Leavanny is hard to get or you must capture an Sewaddle in Pinwheel Forest.
Gigalith has high Attack and Defense, and Sturdy comes in handy if they try to knock you down in 1 hit. Samurott is pretty strong (althrough i chose Tepig as starter)
The last you may fill in but i chose for Sigilph.

Leavanny has too many weaknesses, Gigalith is a no-no because I don't tend to use Rock-types and I already have my Psychic and Flying-type planned.

Then Catch A Tynamo In Chargestone Cave and I Forgot You Need A Fighting Type So I Suggest Mienfoo
For Eelektross Movesets I Suggest These Moves
Thunderbolt/Wild Charge
Flamethrower
Dragon Claw
and Crunch As A Filler

For Mienshao I Suggest These Moves
Aura Sphere/Hi Jumb Kick
Acrobatics
U-Turn
Fake Out

I presume you're gonna have a bit of a tough time with the last gym since you don't use Dragon types so Ice-types like Vanilluxe come in chillin' the zone. High Sp. Atk and its ability comes useful in hail, which allows you to abuse Blizzard. It can also learn Flash Cannon to remove Rock.

All the Pokemon can be easily obtained. Vanillite at Cold Storage, so you have ample training time before you reach Opelucid. Joltik at Chargestone Cave (where Tynamo is, but you didn't like it so...) and Sigilyph at the Desert Resort. :3 I don't know whether I listed some that you dislike, but oh well, you asked and so you shall receive. ;;

I'll think about getting them, I can just rotate my team if I need to.

And it's easy to gain experience by knocking out lots of Audino.

What do you like then? it seems like every time someone gives you a suggestion, you say "No, I don't like x types" or "I hate x appearance" and "I don't like that attack." We're only trying to help you here and it could be a lot easier if you choose what Pokémon you like, then enter them into a team builder.
- List of Unova Pokémon
- Team Builder

Now I'm going to post a suggestion here, with movesets. Before reading, just note that yeah, there are 2 water types (one is half Ground). But that isn't a problem. Just plug the team into the link above and you'll see that there are no obvious weaknesses.

http://imgboot.com/images/aragornbird/503.gif
- Razor Shell
- Dragon Tail
- Megahorn [Move Relearner]
- Aerial Ace / Aqua Jet / Giga Impact / Return
You basically just want physical moves for him. Razor Shell is his signature move, Dragon Tail causes switching, Megahorn is awesome, and the last slot is your preference.

http://imgboot.com/images/aragornbird/530.gif
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- X-Scissor
- Return / Swords Dance / Shadow Claw
Excadrill is beast. You can't say he sucks until you try him. You'll be surprised: this guy rocks. You want EQ - you don't need a TM - and a bunch of other physical moves. Take your pick.

http://imgboot.com/images/aragornbird/561.gif
- Air Slash
- Psychic
- Charge Beam
- Ice Beam / Shadow Ball / Energy Ball / Flash Cannon / Cosmic Power
Your flying type, and special attacker. Air Slash and Psychic give you STAB, which means more powerful moves. Charge Beam raises your special attack. The last one is just a filler.

http://imgboot.com/images/aragornbird/606.gif
- Psychic / Psyshock
- Thunderbolt / Charge Beam
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
Psychic type attacker, for fighting types. Psyshock is for physical damage, Psychic is standard. Thunderbolt and the rest are for coverage. OR you could use Musharna:
http://imgboot.com/images/aragornbird/518.gif
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Charge Beam
- Shadow Ball / Energy Ball / Gyro Ball
Use Gyro Ball only if your Musharna's nature is Sassy, Relaxed, or Quiet to maximize its power. Sassy boosts Special Defense, Relaxed boosts Defense, Quiet boosts Special Attack.

http://imgboot.com/images/aragornbird/553.gif
- Earthquake
- Foul Play
- Dragon Claw / Outrage
- Stone Edge
Yup, another physical attacker. Pretty much explains itself. Dragon Claw for less power, but not getting locked into it. Yeah.

http://imgboot.com/images/aragornbird/596.gif
- Thunderbolt / Thunder / Electro Ball
- Signal Beam / Bug Buzz
- Energy Ball
- Volt Switch / Thunder Wave / Agility
Last one. Thunder for more power, and TBolt is standard. Signal Beam until you get Bug Buzz, Energy Ball for another moveslot done, and Volt Switch for switching. Or if paralyzing is your style, use TWave. Or, also a possibility, use Agility instead of Volt Switch/TWave and Electro Ball instead of Thunder/TBolt - raise your speed and then smack with a powered up Electro Ball. BTW, he is much, much better than Zebstrika.

Hope this helps. Probably made some mistakes and such there so someone can correct me, I don't mind.

Nice suggestion, but 2 Ground-types and 2 Psychic-types just won't make me diverse enough.

Make the team yourself if you are going to turn down all advice given to you.
