wouldnt surf be a better option due to hydro pumps accuracy?
Surf may have 100% accuracy, but 90 BP is still weaker than Hydro Pump's 110. While the risk of missing is a 2 out of 10 chance (Hydro Pump has 80% accuracy) the power makes all the difference. That's why he wants you to run Hydro Pump, it'll basically hit harder in the end. Greninja needs the power it can get.

Based on my past experience reading Platinum's team help posts, Scald only sees use on more defensive Water-types.
Gone forever for personal reasons.

I think your team looks fine, Platinum pointed out the stuff you need to fix. It should be ready to go once you patch everything up.
