    My team isn't 100% complete yet and I'm not sure if I'm going to be keeping all of the Pokemon on it yet. I stopped playing Diamond for a while after catching Dialga so my team's not as strong as it could be, but it'll get better.

    I hadn't intended to have Rapidash on my team because I was going to have it purely Sinnoh (she was going to be Heatron) but I'll probably end up keeping her. I also didn't plan to have Lucario. That spot was going to be filled with Rampardos but it was taking too long to train Cranidos and Waive (so creative, eh? :P) just took its spot after hatching. I'll probably keep him, too.

    If you have any suggestions that might help please voice them. ^_^
     
    Ok, now I have a moveset for torterra
    Item: Leftovers
    Nature: Impish
    Wood Hammer
    Stone Edge
    Earthquake
    Leech Seed/Synthesis

    Return won't be so good on a non normal type, Wood Hammer & Earthquake for STAB, and Stone Edge to deal with everything else. Now you might want Synthesis to recover from your own Wood Hammer, or Leech Seed for additional damage.

    I can't really help on the others now cause I'm typing on the Wii. Yes, it's annoying.

    By the way, I named mine Gaia
     
    Thanks for the advice. I do plan to teach Norra Earthquake and am still considering Wood Hammer. I will keep Synthesis. Return was a move I just taught her because I could and needed something that wasn't grass for a battle. Doesn't work all that well, though. :P
     
    I'll slash out stuff I don't like and then put moves I add in bold.

    (Torterra) @ Quick Claw
    Return Earthquake
    Rock Smash Stealth Rock or Stone Edge. Personally, I'm running stealth rock on my terra and he's doing just fine with it. I don't like the 5pp and 80% accuracy of Stone Edge.
    Synthesis - or Leech seed. I like leech seed just cause it has more PP and does damage as well as healing.
    Razor leaf or Wood Hammer. This isn't always great in a pinch cause it CAN nuke a LOT of HP if he pulls off a OHKO with it. I like it better than Razor leaf, though.

    Skyla (Staraptor) @ Quick Claw
    - Ariel Ace
    - Endeavor
    - Close Comet
    - Fly

    Personally, for staraptor, I would try to find a pokemon to replace him....but at the very least I don't know any good movesets for him.


    Risho (Luxray) @ Amulet Coin
    Shock Wave First off, this is a special move, and he has semi-weak special attack. I'd put Thunder Fang here instead, but then you'd have 2 electric moves...and that's no good.
    Spark
    Roar
    Crunch

    I'm not a fan of him, either, because of his poor movepool. I attempted to make the moveset a tad bit better, though...


    (Floatzel) @ Mystic Water
    Crunch
    Strength (Looking to replace)
    Aqua Jet Ice Beam You already have a water move and his speed is usually going to be good enough to attack first.
    Surf Waterfall A bit weaker than surf, but it's a physical attack, and his phys attack stat is better than his special attack, so it should deal more damage.

    All in all, again, I'm not a fan of him. His stats are pretty good, but he learns a lot of special attacks, but his normal attack is better, which is a problem.
    For a good water type I'd suggest Milotic or Gyarados.


    Sacred (Rapidash) @ Shell Bell
    Take Down Megahorn (move tutor)
    Stomp Poison jab (move tutor)
    Fire Blast Flamethrower. It has better accuracy and a lot more PP than fire blast.
    Ember bounce

    I kinda threw that moveset together on the spot. I really am not a big fan of rapidash. I'd suggest putting in Infernape as your fire pokemon if you have access to him.

    Lucario
    Me First Aura Sphere
    Force Palm Close Combat. Why did I just put on 2 fighting moves? One's special and the other is physical, so you can get around pokes with high defense of a certain type. Also Aura Sphere is a guaranteed hit while close combat works best a finishing move.
    Rock Climb Swords Dance or Dragon Pulse
    Reversal Extremespeed

    FYI, a lot of the moves I suggested will be coming at a later level than what your Lucario is...so yeah.
    I doubt many people will agree with this moveset, but it's not hard to do cause he learns all of the moves via level up...and it's really not THAT bad.
