Note: THIS IS 3RD GENERATION.

Milotic @ Leftovers
Marvel Scale
Bold
84 HP/180 Def/120 SAtk/126 SDef
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Recover

Pretty much used as a Special Wall, and can also be used as a Physical Wall, but it's not that good at walling physical attacks. I gave it some special attack EVs in case it was my last pokémon and needed something that could attack and gave it Toxic to further annoy the opponent. And no, I can't give Milotic Hypnosis because the Pokémon that it needs to by bred with, Poliwag, isn't available in Emerald.

Ninetales @ Leftovers
Flash Fire
Timid
100 HP/132 Def/100 SAtk/178 Spd
- Flamethrower
- Will-o'-wisp
- Roar
- Protect/Confuse Ray

Used as a Pyroshuffler as well as an Annoyer and a Staller. It's pretty fast so it can outrun most of the pokémon out there. It's basically designed to annoy Physical Sweepers, and that's why I gave it Will-o'-wisp. I'm not sure if I should give it another Staller move (Confuse Ray) or just give it Protect to scout out the opponent's moves.

Donphan @ Scope Lens/Leftovers (Not sure which to use)
Sturdy
Adamant
44 HP/252 Atk/160 Def/54 SDef
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Counter
- Protect

Basically my combined Physical Wall and partially a Physical Sweeper (it's sweeping capabilities are lower due to its horrible speed). Since it has a good physical defense, I gave it counter to do major damage on the other Physical Sweepers out there.

Starmie @ Choice Band/Petaya Berry/Leftovers (not sure which to use)
Natural Cure
Modest
6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic/Recover (not sure which to use)

A really nice Special Sweeper, I'm probably going to use Starmie for quickly wiping out my opponent's pokémon because of it's wide range of attacks. Since it's main purpose is to do a large amount of damage, I don't know if I should use Recover (because this would just slow down the sweeping process)

Heracross @ Focus Band
Guts
Adamant
252 Atk/58 Def/200 Spd
- Brick Break
- Megahorn
- Protect
- Swords Dance/Reversal/Rock Slide (not sure which to use)

This is basically my main Physical Sweeper (Donphan isn't really considered one) and it has a wide range of attacks, allowing it to do major damage to the opponent. I think I should use Swords Dance to further boost Heracross's already exceptional attacking power, or maybe I should give it Reversal in case my opponent brings it down to 1 HP. Or maybe I should just go with another physical attack, Rock Slide. I don't know XD

And for the sixth Pokémon, I was thinking about maybe a Tank or a solid Wall (preferably mixed), so I thought about this Dusclops variation:

Dusclops @ Leftovers
Pressure
Relaxed
58 HP/200 Def/252 SDef
- Night Shade
- Mean Look
- Will-o'-wisp
- Confuse Ray/Rest

A real physical sweeper killer, if you ask me, but I'm still not sure if I should use it.
Anyways, I need some help deciding some things in my team and if you'd please rate my team, I'd appreciate it.

You realize CB on starmie is lol...it only raises the power of physical moves. You need a spinner, donphan or starmie takes care of that. Protect on heracross is nnononononononononononononononononononono. RFocus band is a hax item and is banned. and lol, dusclops needs max HP. EVERY time. And you need more HP EVs for milotic too. BTW, toxic on milotic is fail. Use the restalker or mirror coat set...Also, never use confuse ray...unless you are trapping, like with umbreon. BTW, defense EVs an sweepers are lol. Really, heracross needs 252 EVs in speed and attack, unless you rtun a different set...maybe restalk? also, recover is nonononononononono on sweepers, only use it on starmie if you plan to use it as a spinner.

Heracross @ Salac Berry
Guts
Adamant
252 Atk/58 HP/200 Spd
- Brick Break
- Megahorn
- Protect/Endure/Substitute
- Rock Slide

A Sweeper Cross would do well. This would give Heracross the ability to knock out teams. It may not be a powerful lead but it can be a powerful late game monster. Also, quite useful status effect prevention with Substitute. Endure would be more useful in the case of strong sweepers.

Also, you should mention that this is 3rd Generation. Because several members would take this as 4th Gen.

Scope Lens is also banned...hax item. I believe restalk milotic has 252 HP, 136 Def, 122 SpA. there is no use for protect on donphan, replce with rapid spin. Dusclops's EV spread should be 225 HP, 129 SpD, 129 Def.

you sure milotic shouldn't have a bit more defense EVs? Otherwise it can't really wall physical attacks very well...

Two words: Marvel Scale. With rest, it gains tremendous defense...the power of abilities...and why do you have another thread like this?

There's also Sleep Talk Heracross which works great against Gengar and Milotic - and it destroys SporePunch Breloom

I believe that's on CBcross...

[email protected]
jolly
252 Att, 252 Speed, 6 HP
~Megahorn
~HP Rock/Rock slide
~Brick Break
~Sleep Talk

I think Focus Punch is also an option. That is fun to use, despite my hate or heracross.

Meh. It doesn't matter, just let the other one die...
