How is this pokemon team?
 
I'm new to the forums, so if this is the wrong place to ask this type of question, please redirect me.


I'm not looking to play competitively; just going through the game. I do want to make sure my team is relatively good and not consisting of weak pokemon.

My team at the moment is (parentheses are moves I want to replace with):

Gabite
- Dragon Rage (Dragon Rush)
- Sandstorm (Fire Fang Maybe)
- Take Down (Not sure)
- Sand Tomb (Earthquake)

Rotom
- ThunderShock (Thunderbolt)
- Shock Wave (Shadow Ball)
- Uproar
- Blizzard

Staraptor
- Aerial Ace (Brave Bird)
- Fly
- Defog (U-Turn/Return)
- Close Combat (Close Combat)

Empoleon
- BubbleBeam (Surf)
- Pound (Ice Beam/Flash Cannon)
- Peck (Peck)
- Metal Claw (?)

Haunter
- Payback (?)
- Shadow Punch (Hypnosis maybe)
- Shadow Ball
- Sucker Punch (?)

Magmortar
- Have not yet caught.

First, it'd be best to provide full information about your team, such as moves. It'd really help us with improving your team better if we know more about what they're running. I do have to point out a bit of type redundancy with Gengar and Rotom there, and typically I wouldn't recommend multiples of the same type since diversity is the key if you want to avoid one particular type wiping the floor with you.

Thank so much for answering. When I was posting I did think that I should provide information about my Pokemon; however, I'm a bit early into the game right now (20s to 30s) so I don't have all the movesets I wish for. There is redundancy in some moves (like having fly and defog on my Staraptor).

Here's my team in full detail... parentheses are moves I want to replace with


Gabite
- Dragon Rage (Dragon Rush)
- Sandstorm (Fire Fang Maybe)
- Take Down (Not sure)
- Sand Tomb (Earthquake)

Rotom
- ThunderShock (Thunderbolt)
- Shock Wave (Shadow Ball)
- Uproar
- Blizzard

Staraptor
- Aerial Ace (Brave Bird)
- Fly
- Defog (U-Turn/Return)
- Close Combat (Close Combat)

Empoleon
- BubbleBeam (Surf)
- Pound (Ice Beam/Flash Cannon)
- Peck (Peck)
- Metal Claw (?)

Haunter
- Payback (?)
- Shadow Punch (Hypnosis maybe)
- Shadow Ball
- Sucker Punch (?)

Magmortar
- Have not yet caught.

I'm just going to move this into In-Game Team Help, as threads like these don't belong in 4th Gen!

Thank you for moving it! I'll keep this in mind for future reference.
