Alright, I'm at the Elite Four right now. And hopefully you actually read this instead of going just to my team and saying "oh no they're garbage". I plan on training my team to about level 53-55. Remember, it's an ingame team, no certain EVs, no specific nature, etc.

My team consists of:

Infernape - level 47 now, might go to 57.
Flame Wheel, Grass Knot, Shadow Claw, Close Combat.
If I get my Infernape to level 57, Flame Wheel will be replaced with Flare Blitz.

Garchomp - level 50 now, getting to about 53-55.
Dragon Claw, Crunch, Dig, Slash.
I have the TM Earthquake, but I'm debating whether or not to use it on him, also, I'm thinking of Dragon Rush over Dragon Claw for more power.

Mamoswine - level 48, getting about 54.
Ice Shard, Earthquake, Ancient Power, Rock Climb.
Probably going to get rid of Ancient Power for Ice Fang. If he can't outrun the opponent, I'll be able to finish with Ice Shard. May consider deleting Rock Climb for Stone Edge.

Machamp - level 48, getting about 55.
Cross Chop, Dynamic Punch, Thief, Fire Blast.
My Machamp has the No Guard ability, so all of these moves are 100% accurate. Both Cross Chop and Dynamic Punch have low PP, so keeping them both.

Tentacruel - level 48, getting about 54.
Waterfall, Poison Jab, Barrier, Screech.
Probably going to keep that moveset. Tentacruel is fast enough to set up a Barrier before a lot of Pokemon can hit her. Then I'll use a Screech and attack away.

Honchkrow - level 48, getting about 53.
Night Slash, Fly, Steel Wing, Haze.
Not too sure about Honchkrow. I really don't have any Pokemon that know special moves, and might find a last minute replacement for it.

Anyways, please help!

Honchkrow with Fly is actually good. It doesn't have good defenses, so there's no point in healing itself, if it can die from a good lightning, ice or rock attack.

Get it to level 60 and get rid of Shadow Claw and replace it with Toxic, trust me it helps.

Garchomp - level 50 now, getting to about 53-55.
Dragon Claw, Crunch, Dig, Slash.
I have the TM Earthquake, but I'm debating whether or not to use it on him, also, I'm thinking of Dragon Rush over Dragon Claw for more power.

Level 55 is ok. Keep Dragon Claw it's got STAB. Teach it Brick Breack as well.

Mamoswine - level 48, getting about 54.
Ice Shard, Earthquake, Ancient Power, Rock Climb.
Probably going to get rid of Ancient Power for Ice Fang. If he can't outrun the opponent, I'll be able to finish with Ice Shard. May consider deleting Rock Climb for Stone Edge.

Level 55 is the level for it. The movesets idea is fine.

Machamp - level 48, getting about 55.
Cross Chop, Dynamic Punch, Thief, Fire Blast.
My Machamp has the No Guard ability, so all of these moves are 100% accurate. Both Cross Chop and Dynamic Punch have low PP, so keeping them both.

Lucky, this Machamp is awesome.

Tentacruel - level 48, getting about 54.
Waterfall, Poison Jab, Barrier, Screech.
Probably going to keep that moveset. Tentacruel is fast enough to set up a Barrier before a lot of Pokemon can hit her. Then I'll use a Screech and attack away.

Hmmm, i might add Toxic instead of Poision Jab. Apart from that, its fine.

Honchkrow - level 48, getting about 53.
Night Slash, Fly, Steel Wing, Haze.
Not too sure about Honchkrow. I really don't have any Pokemon that know special moves, and might find a last minute replacement for it.

This Honchkrow is really good. Keep Fly ,Haze and Night Slash. Get it to level 55 and teach it Dark Pulse.

Anyways, please help!
All Edits in Grey. Overall nice team and good luck!

For Mamoswine, get rid of Rock Climb of course.
For Honchkrow,
T-Wave,
Steel Wing,
Night Slash, (Trait Super Luck of course)
Drill Peck if you want to breed,
Fly/Aerial Ace if not.
Aerial Ace has more power in two turns, but
if you think Honch can OHKO with fly keep that.

It may be in-game, but that doesn't meen you need to have crap movesets...

Infernape

Flamethrower
Close Combat
Stone Edge
Grass Knot / U-Turn

Infernape can shred through the first E4 member as long as it's around lv 55-60. Please run something similar to that, and give it a Life Orb.

Honchkrow

Sucker Punch
Taunt
Night Slash
Aerial Ace

Taunt your opponents so they can use only attacking moves, then continually hit first with Sucker Punch. Life Orb or Focus Sash please, FS only if you intend on staying in on something that can OHKO you, which you shouldn't really need to worry about if you have enough money. This can take Lucian to the cleaners if used right, even Bronzong is toast once it cannot hit with anything other than attacking moves.

Garchomp

Dragon Claw/Rush
Earthquake
Fire Fang/Crunch
Stone Edge

Your main hitter I would believe. This hits anything for great amounts of damage, so if you don't have any attack increasing items, give it a Yache berry if able. This can run through almost anything in the E4, as long as it is fast enough.

Tentacruel

Surf
Ice Beam
Poison Jab
Barrier/Screech

Ok, this is a horrible set for Cruel, but I suppose you can run with it. Provides team support and can be used to switch in on Special Attackers.

Machamp

Dynamic Punch
Earthquake
Thunderpunch
Ice Punch

Ok, you have No Guard, so STAB Dynamicpunch should do you wonders. The rest is coverage, I'm not sure if the Elemental Punches are able to be learnt naturally, and I'm not going to check, so if they cannot, replace with Stone Edge and... ?_?

Mamoswine

Ice Fang
Ice Shard
Earthquake
Stone Edge

This will help you kill Cynthia's Garchomp, if it's strong enough...


Ok, that was the worst rate I've ever given, but it's ingame, so don't blame me with what I have to work with.... >_>

Thanks for the help guys, but basically, I borrowed my friend's level 65 Luxray, leveled my Garchomp to 60 and my Infernape to 57, and surprisingly took down the Elite Four. Only one I had trouble with was Garchomp. I had to let Luxray go down so I could use Intimidate to keep lowering it's attack. Milotic = Charge + Thunder = Dead Milotic.

Sorry, but the actual place to discuss strategies should be S&M.
