AztecSunshine: Houndoom. Teach it Sunny Day.
Thinking_Of_A_Name: Kirlia. Must not be nicknamed.
I have progressed much in the challenge. I've just cleaned out the Galactic Base in Veilstone, and am about to head up Mt. Coronet. Unfortunately, no one on my assigned team can learn Rock Climb, so I've been forced to bench Quagsire in exchange for a slave Bibarel for this part. My plan here is to do two runs: On the first, I'll go as far as possible before getting stuck at Dialga, clearing out every trainer/item in the mountain. Then, I'll bench two of my other pokes in exchange for a Modest syncher and my star catcher Breloom from Pearl. These guys won't be seen in the battle against Cyrus & friends--only to aid in the capture of a shiny Dialga.
Since this plan is going to take a while, this is probably going to be my second-last post in this topic for a while. (I will post once more right before the point of no return.)
Current team:

L43 Quagsire♂ **Quaggy:

- The need for a Physical Water option pressed me to trade him to learn the HM move early.
L44 Kingdra♀ ** Ariel:
~Bold / Swift Swim
Twister

Ice Beam
- She's always been my pseudo-starter, it seems. She can always be trusted in a pinch.

Swift
Discharge
Grass Knot
- She surprised me in turning out to be an extremely useful attacker. Grass Knot+Discharge provide excellent coverage.

Sludge Bomb
L45 Rapidash♂ **N00b…:
~Serious / Flash Fire

- Sunny Day = support for Bellossom. Powers up Solarbeam and Moonlight.
Edit: Okay, my next post is actually just an edit. =/
I've reached Dialga, so my challenge is temporarily on hold until I've walked out of there with a shiny one. =]
