Dialga.

Both steel types, and most people wouldn't let you play with Dialga, anyways.

yea... double on the medicham and dialga.

Dialga since most people won't battle ubers\legends

Medicham.. well.. I'm more partial to Gallade for the psychic\fighting... or at least fix up Medi's moves.. he's more the physical psychic

Horrible, horrible Format. Why don't people read the Stickies? They're just above these Threads. And are labeled "Sticky" on the left. The Moveset's are included. Natures, Ev's, and Items?

Rarely should any Pokemon have more than one damaging attack for a single type. If you want a diverse move set, one capable of taking on many types, three water attacks on one Pokemon is not a good idea.

Not to mention that she/he doesn't take defensive moves into thought. Pokemon without defensive moves are fail. And this team is made up of more fail then that. WAY more.

I agree, the only Pokemon that should have four attack moves are those with a choice band.

Or Scarf/Specs. And the choice items each go to their specific role on attacking.

And Heal Block Dialga. That type of move, shouldn't be used anywhere, unless it absolutely has to. Flamethrowing Steelix? Steelix's Special Attack, is that of a stick.

Steelix is a wall, not an attacker. And most certainly not a special attacker...
The only way it can cause damage is with earthquake, thanks to STAB, and yet dig is there instead. xD

Taco, you're getting the idea, but a mistake you're making is putting physical moves on a special sweeper. A super-effective drill-peck will do less damage than a neutral surf. Likewise, Pokemon such as Steelix should have only physical attacks.

Yeah but would you rather 2HKO and survive an attack or two or OHKO and get kill by the next attack or you could just switch def w/ atk I dunno Im just like my steelix

oh and gyro ball will do more because of ironball and relaxed nature

NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER put refresh on blissey...aromatherapy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>refresh. That and blissey has natural cure. And Itachi, you stole my line..."that of a stick" is my line :\ BTW itachi, steelix doesn't need a slew of Atk EVs...it has average attack anyways, might as well buff it up more with defense. NEVER use special attacks on steelix...it is a physical wall, nothing more.
