All of my Pokemon are trained to beat my friends, or at least keep up. Please rate/fix my movelists. For Ghastly and Dratini, use movelists as though they were their evolved forms (Gengar and Dragonite, respectively). I don't know how to calculate EVs, but I know what they are and where to get the most out of a stat.

Ghastly (Impish):
Lick
Spite
Curse
Night Shade

Dratini (Docile):
Wrap
Leer
Thunder Wave
Dragon Rage

Blastiose (Lax):
Water Pulse
Bite
Brick Break
Rest

Raichu (Bold):
Thunderbolt
Brick Break
Thunder Wave
Double Team

Ninetails (Calm):
Flamethrower
Will-O-Wisp
Confuse Ray
Quick Attack

Alakazam (Bashful):
Recover
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Reflect

Ghastly (Impish):Please don't give poor gengar an impish nature. Lonely for attacker and Timid for special attacker
Ice punch
Thunderbolt
Substitute/hypnosis
Focus Punch/Giga drain/fire punch

Focus punch should be with Substitute obviously. If you don't use Focus Punch, make Timid or Modest your nature

Dratini (Docile):Salamence is better in many ways
Dragon Dance
Ariel Ace
Earthquake
Flamethrower/Fire blast/Rock slide

That is the Salamence set. If you must stick with Dragonite, give it thunderbolt/ thunder instead of the last moves

Blastiose (Lax):Don't give it lax nature. Give it Bold/calm/modest
Surf
Ice Beam
Rapid spin/Haze/Mirror coat/Counter
Rest

Give Blast Rapid spin, Mirror coat, Haze, Counter depending on your wish

Raichu (Bold):
Thunderbolt
Brick Break
Thunder Wave
Double Team

I dunno I never really liked Raichu but I'm guessing that Surf/Tbolt/Twave/Wish would work. You can start over and give raichu Substitute/Reversal/Focus punch/Thunderbolt with an adamant nature as a nice surprise

Ninetails (Calm):Calm is ok. But Timid, modest work as well
Flamethrower
Will-O-Wisp
Confuse Ray
Grudge

Grudging is fun

Alakazam (Bashful):Timid/modest please
Recover
Psychic
Ice punch/Fire punch
Reflect/Calm Mind

Many special sweepers makes your onli pokemon that can take hits Blastoise. I say get rid of Ninetails or one of Ala/Geng/Rai and bring in all mighty Snorlax/Blissey. You need Salamence over Dragonite
I tried=/

I like eggs(message too short)

I could get Salamence, but that would require me beating the E4 and going through the entire islands thing. I have him on Emerald, just too lazy to trade him. I have a Snorlax, btw. I'll get rid of Alakazam for Snorlax, I wanted to get a better FIRE-Type than Ninetails. Maybe Arcanine? I want to replace Raichu, but I have no idea what to go with. Could you guys give me a movelist for Arcanine and Snorlax? Sorry if I sound newbish, but I don't make good movelists. Maybe a movelist for the replacement for Raichu as well.

XD, I just realized...My Snorlax (named Xalron) is of the Lonly nature!

Lonely on snorlax is a nono! It needs the defence very badly. Hopefully u can breed it or get another one with Adamant and careful. Impish is ok as well. Fire types are generally not so good. All my teams have zero fire types for some reason. You migh wanna keep alakazam and replace Raichu with Snorlax. Then you replace Ninetails with.... Skarmory, weezing, forretress? Im not so sure...

Snorlax
~Curse
~Body Slam/Return
~Rest
~Earthquake/Shadowball

Snorlax is probably the most intimidating pokemon out there... Its so strong and rather hard to stop!! Go Snorlax!!

So, what? Do I start over and try to get the natures right? I think I'll do that. I'll also stick with Weezing. Just because it's a good wall and it can EXPLODE when needed. So, let me try a Weezing movelist:

Weezing (nature?)
Explosion
-----
Sludge Bomb
-----

Standard Weezing:

Weezing @Leftovers
Nature: Impish
Sludge Bomb
Will-o-wisp
Haze
Pain Split

Pain split is a bred on move from Misdreavus. Feel free to replace a move for Flamethrower/Fire Blast to surprise steels, but it’s hard to do that since all of Weezing’s 4 moves are useful.

Thanks, everyone!
I just had another question.
How do you get Aerial Ace and Earthquake on Dragonite?
I already used my Aerial Ace TM ;.;
For that matter, how do you get Rock Slide on him?

Aerial Ace and Earthquake are from TM (if you already used it, too bad. Breed one on or get one from another game).
Rock Slide is through move tutor.

I am thinking about replacing Alakazam. Should I, or is he a good poke?
In fact, I want to replace Blastoise as well.
Any suggestions?

Alakazam is a great Pokemon and an awesome special sweeper, however, you already have 4 other special attackers. Alakazam is way better than Ninetales or Raichu though, so if you replace Ninetales for Weezing, you can replace Raichu for Snorlax instead of getting rid of an awesome Pokemon like Zam.
Keep Blastoise, since it serves the role of "Bulky Water".

Seems allrite, good luck with all the Battle points u must earn for some of the Emerald tutor moves. Weezing might have trouble getting off explosion as it is so slow and u onli wanna use explosion after it is injured. When it is injured u can pain split for a second chance. But go ahead and try explosion, it'll work sometimes.

Salamence > Dragonite

Swampert > Blastoise, IMO.

Thanks aragorn. I should have been more clear I guess.

not really, salamence gets pwnt by ice beam, so you can't say its better than blastoise and swampert since they have a pretty good def.

He didn’t mean that. He meant Salamence is a better physical attacker than Dragonite and Swampert is a better bulky water than Blastoise.

Alakazam also learns Calm Mind naturally (but only in the Zam stage, evolve it as soon as you get Kadabra). Saves you a TM there.

What did you use Calm Mind on? Was it on a male Poke? If so, you could possibly breed it on to an Abra. Breediing TMs is wicked awesome.
