Anyone think this is a good team?

Gyarados, magnezone, tyranitar, Garchomp, arcanine, and dragonite if you see anything or think their could be changes please tell me and also I'm not really sure what their "positions" should be either like who should be my wall or sweeper or whatever I just restarted on diamond and their all currently in their first forms. Thanks in advance

I'm going to scooch this over to the in-game team help forum because you mentioned Pokemon Diamond, but on the off chance that this is indeed a competitive team help (like, there's a local tournament that requires DPP as the medium of battle) feel free to tell me and I'll toss it back over.

Hi Dfk88! If you could provide us with the movesets that you want, then that would help us out a lot in deciding roles! There is no "right" way to play Pokemon and you really don't have to worry about the positions themselves because everyone has a different playstyle and it's not a requirement that every team needs to have one or two etc Pokemon filling these roles.

Just by looking at the Pokemon themselves, you have a pretty solid team here! You do have 3 Pokemon each that are weak to Rock- and Ground- types but with the Pokemon and proper movesets that can be taken care of.

Since you have Garchomp, Dragonite, and Tyranitar on your team, only flaw I see is that you have some major weakness against ice. Though, you already have Magnezone to cover them, as well as Arcanine, so that's not a huge deal! If you'd like to be extra careful, only thing I'd recommend is to perhaps remove one of those dragon-types. One, good suggestion, I believe, would be Machamp.

You don't have any fighting-type on there, it seems, and while it's not necessarily an issue, it could still be one (to some degree) while battling against certain opponents. Having Machamp (or any other fighting Pokémon, really) would certainly help take away that stress. For move-set, try going with Dynamic Punch, Stone Edge, Earthquake, and maybe Bullet Punch. Also, make sure that it's got No Guard ability!

Answeri your question, I'd lead with Garchomp. If you know anythig about Garchomp or Dragon types in general, it would be that they have some fantastic offensive firepower. Even better, they have access to a ton of moves with different types. You can teach Garchomp Poison Jab, Earthquake, Aqua Tail, Stone Edge, or whatever suits it best. Anything your Garchomp lacks can be made up with Dragonite.

If Garchomp were to faint (this would usually be to an Ice type, or something with Ice Beam or Punch), you would want Arcanine to finish it off with Flare Blitz or some Fire type attack. Arcanine has some good Speed (or should I say ExtremeSpeed, which is an awesome move that you should carry on Arcanine) and a mix of Special Attack and regular Attack. Like your Dragons, Arcanine can learn a variety of different-typed moves.

If Arcanine goes down, send in Gyarados. You're usually dealing with a Ground type Pokemon. which Gyarados can handle with Ice Fang, Aqua Tail, or some Special Attacks like Surf, even though I wouldn't recommend Surf.

If Gyarados falls, there is an Electric or Rock type Pokemon you have to take down. In this situation, you would want Tyranitar to Earthquake or some other moves like Ice Punch.

This team needs some more type diversity and Pokemon that know Special Attacks (like an Espeon, Gengar, Alakazam.). Magnezone is good, but it can't do all of the Special Attacking alone.

I wouldn't worry too much because even though Diamond is one of the more difficult Pokemon games, you're still going up against CPU opponents who won't always use moves that will destroy your team in one hit. You did say you played Diamond before, so you should have an idea of what to expect.
