Okay, I'm not sure about what others my think, but... here goes. Oh yeah, and sorry if there's any typoe problems with the natures for example.

Flygon (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- U Turn
- Stone Edge

Takes Thunder type attacks for my vaporeon, also ground type attacks. Stone Edge I guess would help against Gyarados, seeing i know that TauntaDos was used up front in the 3rd Gen. but I don't have a clue about the 4th to be honest =/.
U Turn I thought would help against certain pokémon Flygon wouldn't normally be able to stay in to attack, as long as he's faster. And, finally, Earthquake and Dragon Claw for the STAB.

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 16 HP / 64 Spd / 176 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Haze
- Shadow Ball
- Rest
- Surf

Just a normal Vaporeon. EVs are a bit all over the place, but I thought 405 hp means it'll be able to take 5 Seismic Toss and whatever else. Since Shadow Ball is now Special, thank God, I thought I'd use that instead of Ice Beam (seeing my Froslass covers that, and it'll help against Suicunes). Also if I see an Ice attack coming at Flygon, I'll use U Turn then switch to Vaporeon. And Any water attacks I'll switch to vaporeon as well.

Arcanine (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Extremespeed
- Howl
- Fire Blitz

Before D/P came out I used Arcanine as a mixed sweeper, using Overheat with Naive nature and White herb. But, now there's fire moves like Fire Blitz all I have to worry about is the recoil damage.
Extremespeed is a must have, and it takes out kingdra's with 30% HP from what I can remember. Then Aerial Ace is there to OHKO any Harecross brave enough to stay in, which I doubt, but I've had a Heracross stay in before, of course it was his/her last Pokémon, but still. :P
Also if I see a fire attack coming at my Froslass or Skarm I'll switch to Arcanine given him the 1.5 boost in fire power.

Froslass (F) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Snow cloak
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunder Bolt
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball
- Destiny Bond

This is pretty much my only 4th Gen. Pokémon in my team, I just looked around and people were talking about how froslass is good at taking down Dragons with it's speed being above them all. I needed something with BoltBeam and this pretty much is it. Shadow Ball for the STAB, and Destiny Bond is used as a sacrifice.
I'm not sure about her holding Choice Scarf, seeing i'll have to switch everytime I want to use a different move.
Also, along with Skarm, used to take fighting type move for my Absol.

Skarmory (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 132 HP / 252 Def / 124 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Brave Bird
- Spikes
- Roost
- Roar

Don't ask, I just love Skarmory. I don't care if people hate it, but then again that's only when it's teamed with Blissey.
Normally in 3rd Gen. it would have Drill Peck, Spikes, Roar and Rest. But, the new moves kinda look a lot better.
I replaced Rest with roost, but that means if Skarmory get poisoned or paralized it doesn't have rest to heal the status problem and the HP, so I just gave him a Lum Berry.
Brave bird has more power than Drill Peck, I'll just have to use Roost to help with the recoils. Then Spikes and Roar.

Absol (M) @ Razor Claw
Trait: Super Luck
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Slash
- Night Slash
- Psycho Cut
- Sucker Punch

Absol, my favourite Pokémon ^^ As soon as I saw its new Ability Super Luck and that it learns three high critical ratio moves: a normal one; a psychic one and a dark type one with STAB finally. I just had to use it and give it a Razor Claw to add to my chances.
I Was gonna use Me First doing 1.5 times more damage than the opponents move and always striking first. However, I was told to go with Sucker Punch with 1.5 from STAB, strikes first, but only works if the opponent uses a damaging move. So it's the same as Me First, but I don't have to rely on what my Foe's gonna use, so I now with Sucker Punch its power will always be 120.


Say whatever you want, that's my first 4th Gen. Team mainly consisting of my old 3rd gen. Team.
anyway, I mainly want to know any weaknesses this team has. I don't really want to change the Pokémon I'm using aswell... Unless it's extremely advised to.
