Ok, here are the rules you have to follow, if you didn't know:

No Game-Sharked Cartridges! No Pokemon over Level 50. No Legendary Pokemon: Kyogre, Groudon, Jirachi, Deoxys, Regi-Ice, Regi-Steel, Regi-Rock, etc. No Rest type moves after 7 minutes into the round.

So, I will be entering my first GB tournament on March 12. This was the team I was thinking of taking, and needed help with it. There are a few problems, though.

1. Only 13 days to the tournament.

2. No acess to a Ruby/Sapphire/Coliseum(Maybe) game.

So, with that in mind, I came up with this team:

Sneasel

Moves:
Icy wind
Slash
Feint Attack
Quick Attack

Lapras

Moves:
Hydro Pump
Ice Beam
Psychic
Thunderbolt

Alakazam

Moves:
Psychic
Recover
Hyper Beam
Focus Punch

Electabuzz

Moves:
Thunderbolt
Thunder
Thunderpunch
Quick Attack

Feraligatr

Moves:
Bite
Slash
Water Gun
Blizzard

Crobat

Moves:
Poison Fang
Air Cutter
Wing Attack
Confuse Ray

That's the best I could come up with. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks! :D

You'll want a better lead pokemon than this mate, he'll die in one hit, consider Jolteon or Gengar, or perhaps Porygon2.

Lapras

Moves:
Hydro Pump
Ice Beam
Psychic
Thunderbolt
Never tried it, but consider Surf > Hydro Pump.

Alakazam

Moves:
Psychic
Recover
Hyper Beam
Focus Punch
No hell no. Get rid of Hyper Beam and Focus Punch.. and Recover, if you can, breed the 3 elemental punches onto it for a Psychic/Fire Punch/Thunderpunch/Ice Punch set.

Electabuzz

Moves:
Thunderbolt
Thunder
Thunderpunch
Quick Attack
Nah get rid of this fella, especially if you choose Jolteon as a lead pokemon, consider something powerful, like Tyranitar.

Feraligatr

Moves:
Bite
Slash
Water Gun
Blizzard
Swampert is better than the Gator in my opinion, but the Gator can do a Swords Dance/Rock Slide combination which is nice, you might want to suss that out.

Crobat

Moves:
Sludge Bomb
Air Cutter
Aerial Ace
Confuse Ray
Get rid of Air Cutter for something else, I don't know what though, can it learn Shadow Ball?
I know I didn't help much set wise, but consider pokemon changes, and if you know any of the competitors teams, then counter them.

Thanks, Lion Heart. Yeah, it's for the tournament Battle Tower at like State Championships and Cities. Any ideas on what to breed with Alakazam to get the three puches? Also, I cant get Tyranitar because Pupitar doesn't evolve until level 55. Any other ideas on what to replace Electabuzz with? Thanks!

First of all, you need tanks. You won't get anywhere with just poor sweepers. Consider Umbreon or Blissey (or both). Trash Sneasel. Use a Jolteon as Lion Heart said. Alakazam must not know physical attacks. His base attack is 50. Also, Hyper Beam is a terrible attack for almost all pokemon (Slaking is an exception but I'm not going to make this a "Return v. Hyper Beam on Slaking" debate since I prefer Return with Choice Band for switching. Oops, I already expressed my view. Disregard what I said.) What's the point of your gator? Water gun, get real. Use Surf if you need a water attack. And don't use Blizzard. In fact, trash gator. Use Swampert as Lion Heart suggested.

It might help to use an online battling team, just without hidden power. You still should have roles, not just special sweepers. Heracross is good on level 50 (just be sure to breed Megahorn onto him) for a special sweeper. So is Machamp. I hope you have time to change your team around. Sorry that I didn't analyse each poke, but I don't have time. Take care.

I believe you could try to breed the punches onto Alakazam like this:

Hitmonchan -> Medicham -> Alakazam

Stuck on that Level 50 thing eh... Well, Heracross is always there, but I think he learns Megahorn to later, which will mean you have to train 2 (1 for Megahorn, then breed it onto the Lvl.50 one).

You need somethig to take hits, I'm thinking Umbreon, or Blissey -_-'.

Also, I just realized that considering Tar isn't available until Level 55, wouldn't it be good to put in a Subrevver/flailer?

Since they can't stop it without Hail/Sandstorm, which I'm guessing no one would even consider.

So perhaps grab a Blaziken if you can (Or that Heracross) and EV train him in Speed and Attack, and create a Subreversalist, in all honesty sincer it's a Lvl. 50 competition, a Subrevver will fair VERY well.

[email protected] Berry
-Substitute
-Focus Punch
-Reversal
-Megahorn

If your opponent breaks the subs, you'll have a mean reversal. If your opponent doesn't break the subs, you'll have nice focus punches that don't require predicting. Take care.

Nah, try and get Salac Berry onto it if you can.

Kinda hard to reversal when your HP keeps going up.

You can get a Salac Berry from Pokemon Colliseum if I remember correctly.

You should try and do that, as it will seriously be a nice addition to your team.

I got one. It's just I had rented it before, played it through, got some of my guys off, but didn't get a chance to get them all onto my LG because it was 7:54 and the game was due back at 8 XD. But anyway, I think i'll have to do that on Staurday, because doesn't Metagross make a pretty good tank?
