    This is the team I want:
    Arbok
    Wigglytuff
    Arcanine
    Cloyster
    Electrode

    Right now I have the Arbok, Arcanine, and Jigglypuff. But I don't know what to put for the last slot in my team! D: I need some help with this and I'm NOT replacing the Wigglytuff or Cloyster or Electrode. If you could I would appreciate any move sets (good ones) too! This IS a team for the elite four and I just started yet another new game.
     
    No offense, but your team is sort of weak by standards. Things like Lance's Dragonite can tear you apart, Aerodactyl as well. Invest in a starter, since they'll usually handle the E4
     
    Butterfree. I know this sounds dumb, but I had one in Yellow, and one again in Leaf Green. They both got to level 75 and beyond, and totally owned. What I find handy is it knows moves like Psybeam. And it's cute.
     
    yeah but wat if its just level 55 or lower?
    i dont think it would own that much

    if u want a strong,well balanced team(the one i mostly used in fire red)
    thats wat u should get:

    Blastoise:in the 3 starters,he is the most effective against the E4,with ice beam,surf,hydro cannon, and earthquake,he can take down bruno's onixs,peter's exept for Gyarados...

    Electabuzz:the best electric pokemon u'll ever find in this game,he can learn thunderbolt by him self,in addition of psychic, ice punch and fire punch,he's one of the most(none legendary) perfect pokemon u cn get in the game(u need fire red though)

    Alakazam:He's fast nd has lots of SP attack,perfect pokemon to beat, Agatha,teach himshock wave,shadow ball psychic and ur good to go

    Snorlax:if u want a rare normal pokemon,u got it,with earthquake,mayb 2 SP attacks and body slam,he cn easily own any pokemon

    Arcanine:for a fire type,its either him,charizard, or Magmar.He's fast,strong nd cn learn really good attacks like flame thrower(wen he's not evolved),extreme speed...(fire red as well though)

    Fearow:he's the strongest flyin type in the game,he learns strong attacks,evolves fast too,against Bruno,he can do really good!,also if u get Blastoise as a starter,he'll be usefull against ur rival's starter

    I know wat ur thinking,no leaf type,Y?bcuz leaf type are all useless against the E4 nd thats the truth,if really want one,i'd suggest Execcutor cuz he's also psychic type,otherwise,dont bother for one

    Physical Shadow Ball would be a lot better on Snorlax than Alakazam.

    Also Fearow is so inferior to Dodrio, that tri headed bird beats it out with raw stats, and has Drill Peck AND Tri Attack to work with.

    I've found Dugtrio to help alot with most of the Elite Four, Earthquake/Rock Slide/Aerial Ace/Slash
     
    hmm,i've never tried dodrio before...
    but for dugtrio,u can easily find better,sure he's fast but he's not as strong as other ground type
    a Simple Nidoking with ice beam,thunderbolt,flame thrower and earthquake or megahorn could easily do the trick against almost the whole E4,he's fast,strong...he's only problem is that he's got loads of weakenesses.
     
    Yeah, Nidoking or Nidoqueen with ice beam would be good. You should probably get a starter anyway, mainly because when fully evolveed they are strong and have less weaknesses that other Pokemon.
     
    Woah, woah, hold on, hold on.


    Who the crap is Peter?

    In any case, I like the Nidoking idea...though I didn't know he could learn Megahorn.
    But, wouldn't Earthquake be better as he IS part Ground type?
     
    Is there anyone who can actually keep the three pokemon I said that i wanted and make a team WITH those or am I just continuely going to get the phrase "this team sucks"?
     
    Haha, Right.
    Well...hm.
    Wiggly can learn Psychic, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, and Flamethrower, and that trumps water, grass, ice, fighting, poison, flying, bug, ground, rock, dragon, and steel.

    That leaves normal, fire, electric, ghost, and dark.
    Cloyster is WATER ice.
    There goes fire! Just add surf!

    And, elecrode is one fast ball...haha. Fast Ball.
    Erm, anyway. He's so fast, if you can get his offensive stats high enough, you won't have a problem.

    As for Normal, electric, psychic and dark?

    Primeape can use Fighting type attacks and Earthquake.

    Taht just leaves Psychic and Ghost, right?

    Well. That Nidoqueen Mentioned before can use Crunch, but it has to be learned as Nidoran♀, or Nidorina.

    On top of that, you still have one slot left.

    If I'm doing anything wrong here, people, please tell me.

    Best avice so far! <3
    Thanks a lot. I can handle the most of the move sets (mostly because I dont like the whole ITF attack theme.)
     
    I'm sorry for the Wiggly Moveset being a money-whore.
    I know how much those TM's cost...yeah, I baught them all. (Thank you resort gorgeous!)
    Heh, only my poekmon was a Mewtwo.

    Glad you liked what I said!
