    OK. I'm currently at Whirl Islands and my team still isnt good Jab helped but I'm hoping for more feedback so please help. So far i have a Feraligatr level 41 , Dragonair level 41, Raikou level 40, and a Magmar level 40. I have an idea for what i want on my team. OH and I will not change the natures of any pokèmon I already have (i.e. Feraligatr, Magmar, Dragonair, etc.)

    Feraligatr-level 52 EV: 252 Attack, 128 HP, 128 Defense
    Modest
    Moves:
    -Aqua Tail
    -Ice Fang
    -Crunch
    -Earthquake

    Dragonair-level 52 EV: 252 Speed, 252 Attack and 6 HP
    Quiet
    Moves:
    -Dragon Dance
    -Dragon Claw
    -Aqua Tail
    -Iron Tail

    Magmar- level 53 EV: 252 Speed, 140 Sp. Attack and 116 Attack
    Naughty
    Moves:
    -Flamethrower
    -Sunny Day
    -Lava Plume
    -Confuse Ray

    Raikou- level 50 EV: 252 Speed, 128 Sp. Attack and 128 Attack
    Quiet
    Moves:
    -Thunder
    -Rain Dance
    -Thunderfang
    -Crunch

    Yay new developement in the legendary end but this lack of motivation made me lower the levels I want them at before the E4 and does any1 know where to find Pomeg, Kelpsy, Qualot, Hondew, Grepa, or Tamato berries besides in DPPt

    First, try formatting your team correctly when you post:

    Pokemon @ Item
    Nature
    EVs (If any)
    - Move 1
    - Move 2
    - Move 3
    - Move 4

    Second, my comments and changes are in BOLD:

    Feraligatr-level 58,
    Adamant
    Moves:
    - Aqua Tail/Waterfall,
    - Ice Fang/Ice Punch
    - Crunch,
    - Earthquake

    Feraligatr isn't bad, but you need Ice Fang/Ice Punch to take care of those pesky dragon types (Lance/Clair). Earthquake (found in Victory Road), is an awesome move and can take care of Electric types. All in all, this moveset is super-effective against 10/16 types, and does neutral damage against the rest.

    Dragonite-level 55,
    Adamant/Jolly
    Moves:
    - Dragon Dance
    - Dragon Claw
    - Roost/Thunder Wave
    - Thunder Punch/ExtremeSpeed/Aqua Tail

    Dragonite makes an execllent Physical Attacker, so Dragon Claw works better. Dragonbreath is a Special move and Dragon Rush is just too inaccurate. You get Dragon Claw by getting 1st in the Goldenrod Store lottery on Sundays. Just change the date/time settings on your DS. Roost can heal, and Thunder Wave can slow down a lot of opponents. With Feraligatr hopefully learning Ice Punch/Ice Fang, Dragonite doesn't need it. Stick with Thunder Punch. TP can take care of Water Types that know Ice Beam. You can get a Dratini with ExtremeSpeed from the Dragon's Den after defeating the 8th Gym.

    Magmortar- level 53,
    Modest/Rash
    Moves:
    - Flamethrower,
    - Sunny Day,
    - Solarbeam,
    - Thunderbolt

    Pretty basic SunnyBeam-ing Magmortar. Thunderbolt gives it additional type coverage, hitting Water types that might try to take it out. Of course, Thunderbolt does cost 10,000 coins at the Goldenrod Game Corner, and it might take a while to rack up enough coins to get it.

    Weavile- level 53
    Jolly
    Moves:
    - Ice Punch
    - Night Slash
    - Brick Break
    - Swords Dance

    The only change here is replacing screech with Brick Break. This moveset is super-effective against 11/16 types, even more than Feraligatr. You'll have very little trouble with this.

    Espeon- level 53,
    Modest/Timid
    Moves:
    - Psybeam
    - Shadow Ball
    - Return
    - Swift

    Shadow Ball is an excellent move for Espeon, as is Swift, since both take advantage of its high Special Attack stat. Return can also help, as Eevee evolves into Espeon only when very happy, so Return can pack a bit of power.

    As for a final comment, Fire/Ice/Thunder Punch aren't available until after the E4, so consider alternate moves in place of them.
