First thing I can say is don't keep Pidgeot, unless you're planning to use it as an HM-o-matic. Certainly don't keep it as an active member of your fighting roster. Use Fearow or Dodrio instead - Dodrio is better, but Fearow are easier to capture. They can learn Drill Peck and have overall better stats. Two-turn moves like Fly aren't all that great, especially if your opponent has Aerial Ace or a similar move on their set.

For Exeggutor I recommend Giga Drain, and if you want Ice Beam on Blastoise then you'd best come up with a different fourth move - something like Sludge Bomb perhaps.

There are better people here who can do the rest, I'm just going on what little I know. Hopefully shanecdavis can help you :)

I would say lose the Venomoth, you will not need that at all. Also, don't keep Blastoise with Rain Dance. It's just a waste of a turn using it, without anything really beneficial happening.

First of all, PLEASE don't use yellow font, or any other bright font for that matter. It makes your post hard to read. I didn't even want to rate it the first time I saw it. Guess it is a slow day today. Fixes in bold:

Blastoise (Calm)
-Surf
-Rain Dance
- Ice Beam
- Toxic/Rest

Blastoise is severly outclassed by Swampert, but since this is FR, what are you going to do? Blastoise isn't a great physical or special attacker. It is good at tanking though. Toxic or Rest are a fourth option.


Venomoth (Lonely)
I have alrede figured out all of his moves, i dun rele want them cahnged, altho i will be haopy to take any suggestions ^.^ but out of curiosity, HOW do i get silver wind? im rele confuzzled bout that...lolz
- Screech/Stun Spore
- Signal Beam
- Sleep Powder

-Sludge Bomb

First off, alrede=already and rele=really. Second, you don't want Silver Wind, you want to breed for Signal Beam. With its crappy base Atk (65) you need as strong of physical attacks (especially STAB'ed ones) as you can get. Third, NEVER use Psychic moves on non-Psychic Pokes. Personally, I wouldn't touch Venomoth, but you seemed bent on keeping it. Just please change the moveset.

Exeggutor (Quiet)
- Explosion/Sunny Day
- Leech Seed/Giga Drain

- Psychic
- Sleep Powder/Solarbeam

Exeggutor is one of those under-rated Pokes. As you can see, its moveset makes your current Venomoth totally expendable. Don't use Sunny Day with Rain Dance. If you use SunnyBeam, go with LS over GD.


Aerodactyl (Naughty i think) and his ability IS rockhead so dun worry :P
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Aerial Ace
- Double Edge

Use AA over WA. While they have the same AP (60), AA will never miss. Get a Choice Band from Emerald, if possible.

Flareon (Mild... i think>.>)
- Body Slam/Return
- Flamethrower/Overheat
- Quick Attack
- Shadow Ball/Sunny Day

Flareon's base Atk is a high 135 while its SAtk is a solid 95. You would be better of goiing physical with SB and QA, but it is your choice. Only have SD on either Flareon or Exeggutor, NOT both. I normally don't suggest Normal moves on non-Normal types, but Flareon's movepool is that limited.


Just say NO to Pidgeot.

Dodrio
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Drill Peck
- Quick Attack
- Return
- Steel Wing

Pidgeot is outclassed in every way by Dodrio.

Your team is FAR from being well-rounded, but I currently don't have enough time to continue and offer suggestions. Hopefully someone knowledgeable can do that for me.

Dodrio has more speed, more power, can more people use it. You... get one and train it to your best.
