    Three grass attacks on one pokemon? At least get rid of Solar Beam. It takes two turns, essentially dealing 60 base damage. Maybe insert light screen or reflect

    Arcanine
    Crunch
    Flamethrower
    Flame Wheel
    Dig
    Trash Flame Wheel and Dig for Extremespeed and Roar, perhaps.

    Piloswine
    Dig
    Earthquake
    Blizzard
    Ice Beam
    Don't teach Blizzard and Ice Beam to the same pokemon. Blizzard has low PP and low accuracy, so I would stick with Ice Beam.

    Metagross
    Psychic
    Metoer Mash
    Earthquake
    Brick Break

    Ampharos
    Thunder Bolt
    Thunde rPunch
    Brick Break
    Iron Tail
    Why use Thunderbolt and Thunderpunch? Thunderbolt will suffice.

    Crobat
    Shadow Ball
    Poison Fang
    Air Cutter
    Fly
    Read the thread about fly . . .

    I'd base the natures on the stats that your pokes are going to maximize. As far as strategy, you really need to assign a specific role to each poke. Don't just give powerful attacks to each. Two sweepers (one special and one physical) are fine, but you should also have a tank, hazer or pseudo-hazer, spiker, shuffler, BPer, annoyer, etc. It helps to design your own strategies once you understand the basics, so your opponents won't be familiar with your tactics. If you still want specific help, I could give you the links to some good guides. If you want to check out a very basic guide, click *image removed*

    Take care,
