A friend of mine has challenged me to a battle however I'm not sure which pokemon to use, the match will be capped at level 50 and the rules are:

1. NO Legendaries
2. NO items except mega stones
3. NO TM or EM moves unless it knows them by leveling up

I'm not really good with keeping an eye on EV or IV but i've picked out some pokemon I might use

Spoiler:

Ability: Levitate (I know he uses ground type moves, so making good use of this ability)
Moves: Venoshock
Sludge Bomb (I'm hoping this 2 combo moves will help)
Dark Pulse
Physic


Ability: Sturdy
Moves: Rock Slide (Not sure what type of match we will have but hoping it's at least a double battle)
Rock Wrecker
X-Scissor
Rock Tomb


Ability: Inner Focus
Moves: Recover
Psychic
Psybeam
Psycho Cut


Ability: Skill Link
Moves: Protect
Aurora Beam
Spike Cannon
Spikes


Ability: Sturdy
Moves: Stone Edge
Smack Down
Power Gem
Rock Slide


Ability: Arena Trap
Moves: Magnitude
Bulldoze
Earth Power
Mud Bomb


Ability: Sand Force
Moves: Sandstorm (making good use of it's ability)
Rock Slide
Horn Drill (Good KO hit)
Earthquake


Ability: Blaze
Moves: Fire Blast
Psychic
Flamethrower
Psyshock


Ability: Torrent
Moves: Night Slash
Extrasensory
Hydro Pump
Faint Attack


Ability: Bulletproof
Moves: Mud Shot
Needle Arm
Seed Bomb
Spiky Shield


Ability: Water Absorb
Moves: Sheer Cold (I've always had this KO move to hit every time)
Ice Beam (hoping it will freeze him)
Water Pulse (hoping to confuse him)
Hydro Pump


I know they might not be the most powerful pokemon but I use these more than any other pokemon but if anyone has any other ideas, please let me know, I am competitive and I hate losing

Nah

Why no TM moves? =(

Gengar does get Shadow Ball via level-up, so teach it that in place of Venoshock. Ghost STAB is really good this gen so ya don't wanna miss out on that.

Psycho Cut is a physical move an Alakazam's Attack is ass, so tyr like Calm Mind in place of that.

Metal Claw or Swords Dance would be better than Horn Drill for Excadrill. since all the pokes are gonna be at the same level, Horn Drills only gonna have 30% accuracy, which is muk. Metal Claw gives you coverage against Fairies, which Swords Dance gives you a serious power boost. Also Sand Rush>Sand Force. Excadrill is fairly strong as is, but needs moar Speed. Doubled Speed in sand is really useful.

Get a Protean Gerninja if you can. It also gets Shadow Sneak. IDK, maybe that'll be good.

Mystical Fire might be fun on Delphox since it lowers the enemy's Sp.Attack when it hits. Swap with Flamethrower.

Btw, are ORAS move tutors moves allowed or not?

I don't know why TM weren't going to used, I wasn't sure myself, nothing was mentioned about tutor moves, I didn't think to use them, I know Greninja knows some powerful moves and I'll change moves around

Yeah that TM clause is silly and forgive me for saying so, but kinda cowardly. It's like saying "I want to be able to completely predict anything that your Pokemon can do and make this as close to my in-game playthrough as possible." What is there to swing the momentum? You might as well just switch all day.

Anyhow, for actual sets to run, I'd put the following on Gren:

Gren @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
Nature: Mild/Naive
Hydro Pump
Extrasensory
Low Kick
Gunk Shot

Protean will be absolutely crucial so you'll want to catch a Frogadier in Friend Safari and get goin. If you're not sweating EV's and IV's, I'd just take the first mild one with Protean. This was the best set I could come up with with tutor moves and Gren's standard learnset.

I'd swap Venoshock out for Shadow Ball and Psychic out for Substitute on Gengar, you can use Perish Song, Dazzling Gleam or Protect in the last slot depending on how conservatively you want to play.

You'll want some bulk on your team so Chesnaught is a good choice considering that he has decent synergy with Gren, but I'd swap out Mud Shot for Leech Seed and give him either Low Kick or Hammer Arm instead of one of your Grass-type STABs.

I'd recommend getting a Steel type on your team, probably Skarmory with Brave Bird considering the things you're already running.

And then a Rock type would also be good, if you're in love with Gigalith I'd recommend the following set:

Gigalith @ Salac Berry
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Sturdy
- Autotomize
- Rock Slide
- Earth Quake
- Protect

I know it seems stupid no TM moves, I've had battles where you use no items or no legendaries but to have a battle where you don't use TM I found it hard and puzzling because most of my pokemon have TM and don't forget in this battle I cant use items except mega stones and I think i've got a protean Frogadier somewhere
