    Hello i recently restarted my copy of Pokemon Pearl. I have my team except for one pokemon.

    Here is my lineup
    Staravia
    Nature: Quirky
    Moveset: Fly/Double team/Close Combat/Return

    Lucario
    Nature:Quirky
    Moveset: Swords Dance/Aura Sphere/Dragon Pulse/Dark Pulse

    Crobat
    Nature:Hardy
    Moveset: Confuse Ray/Roost/Toxic/ Cross Poison

    Golduck
    Nature:Impish
    Moveset: Psychic/ Rock Climb/ Surf/ Rain Dance

    Roserade
    Nature:Brave
    Moveset: solar beam/sunny day/ stun spore/ shadow ball

    I need one more pokemon preferably before the Dialga/Palkia ordeal, it also needs a ninja-ish theme.

    Moving to the In-Game forum, and it would help us if you list their movesets/natures and stuff, thanks :D
     
    If you're going for a ninja team, I don't see Staraptor, Roserade, Golduck or Lucario.....well, possibly Lucario xD

    Kricketune? The arms fit the theme...and it gets some good moves like Swords Dance, X-Scissor and Night Slash....

    The way its' arms are kinda scythe-like as fins makes Garchomp ninja-esque...but overall, in the Pokémon Pearl Sinnoh Pokédex, Kricketune is the most ninja-like.

    If you can trade for pokémon not in the regional pokédex, then get a Scyther....it is the ultimate ninja pokémon.
     
    Or, if you can trade, Ninjask is awesome. Agility + Swords Dance + Baton Pass = great strategy!
     
    I don't know about your final pokemon, but I can help with the movesets for your main team. My comments are in Bold

    Staravia
    Nature: Quirky
    Moveset: Fly/Double team/Close Combat/Return

    Don't use Double Team. It's a cheap move. Replace with Roost. Other than that, not bad. I suggest replacing Fly with Brave Bird as Roost can heal BB recoil. And BB's more powerful. An Adamant nature is probably best for these physical moves.

    Lucario
    Nature:Quirky
    Moveset: Swords Dance/Aura Sphere/Dragon Pulse/Dark Pulse

    ...Okay, this is just bad. Why are you using Swords Dance with all special moves? In case you don't get it, Swords Dance raises your Atk stat, but your three other moves are powered by your Sp.Atk stat. Swords Dance is useless here. Either replace your other three moves with Phsyical attacks, or replace Swords Dance with Calm Mind. If you chose to go with Phsyical attacks, use an Adamant Nature. If you chose to keep your Special attacks and use Calm Mind, a Modest Nature is best.

    Crobat
    Nature:Hardy
    Moveset: Confuse Ray/Roost/Toxic/ Cross Poison

    Not bad at all. I recommend a Speed-Boosting nature, however, so you can get off those status-inducers. It looks like a very annoying Crobat.

    Golduck
    Nature:Impish
    Moveset: Psychic/ Rock Climb/ Surf/ Rain Dance

    I recomment a Modest Nature here, to increase your Sp.Atk stat. Also, Ice Beam in place of Rain Dance. You need something to hit Dragon Types.

    Roserade
    Nature:Brave
    Moveset: solar beam/sunny day/ stun spore/ shadow ball

    I suggest Sludge Bomb and Energy Ball in place of Solar Beam and Sunny Day. Both are STAB boosted, and have more PP than Solar Beam. Again, use a Modest Nature for the ideal boost in Sp.Atk.

    That's about it. Hope I helped. I like the idea of Ninjask as your last pokemon, too...
