Starmie w. Leftovers
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Rapid Spin
Ability: Natural Cure
Trait: Timid
Standard Spinner Starmie (hey that’s an alliteration!)
Aggron w. Leftovers
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Rock Slide
- Thunder Wave
Ability: Rock Head
Trait: Impish
Aggron? More like Rhydon, who looks the same but is far better at physical walling since it doesn’t have glaring weaknesses to two common physical attack types. In fact, if you want a physical wall who can also attack, go with Donphan. It can’t resist as many types, but at least it doesn’t have any 4x weaknesses. It makes a much better phazer than Houndoom and you can also replace Starmie with another Water type since Donphan can Spin. If you want a wall that resists both Normal and Flying but don’t mind a lower attack power, get a Steelix or Skarmory.
Blissey w. Leftovers
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled
- Seismic Toss
- Thunder Wave
Ability: Natural Cure
Trait: Bold
Go go standard Blissey!
Gengar w. Liechi Berry
- Sludge Bomb
- Thunderbolt
- Explosion
- Shadow Ball
Ability: Levitate
Trait: Adamant
Physical attacking Gengar eh? Meh, it works in a way, I still like McGar better. What I don’t like are Pokemon who carry boosting berries but don’t have Substitute or Endure. Don’t rely on luck to have every attack deal only 75%-99% of Gengar’s health so that you’ll get the boost. More often than not it will deal too little or it will OHKO you. Anyways, feel free to put Substitute over any one of those moves. I’d say Sludge Bomb since you don’t have a Grass weakness. All your Pokemon resist it except for Starmie
Zapdos w. Leftovers
- Thunderbolt
- Rest
- Drill Peck
- Sleep Talk
Ability: Pressure
Trait: Rash
Sucks that you can’t get decent Hidden Powers in game. This is as good as you can get with Zappy (I assume you don’t have access to Metal Sound or Baton Pass from Pokemon XD).
Houndoom w. Lum Berry
- Crunch
- Flamethrower
- Pursuit/Beat Up/Sunny Day
- Will-O-Wisp/Solarbeam
Ability: Early Bird
Trait: Timid
Phazing Houndoom? No. Houndoom does not have the defenses to make an effective phazer and more often than not, opponents will attack you instead of setting up. Again with the boosting berry. I’d say Lum Berry works just as well if not better as you can switch in on random Grass types who try to put you to sleep. Will-o-wisp is iffy on Houndoom. On the one hand, burning Swampert and Snorlax and such is cool, but on the other hand they’ll just Rest it off and it would totally suck if WoW missed (which it does often). Pursuit KOs Gengar and Alakazam, and does a number on Dusclops and Celebi. Beat Up surprises Blissey which is nice as your team is pretty special oriented. You can even use Sunny Day if you want to go all out special sweeping.
Oh yeah, and Timid is a much better nature.
