    Okay, I am a bit embarrassed to post these, but I will because I need help. I am not a good trainer, and do not know what moves are good and not, and just pick them randomly sometimes.

    If you can help me with my team, thanks.

    I have stockpiled a few Heart Scales, so I can do that if I need to.

    Don't be embarrassed about posting them, since this section of the message board is to help people.

    Hariyama (M) Lvl 40 @ Leftovers
    Focus Punch
    Substitute
    Knock Off
    Rock Slide/Earthquake

    Subpunch can deal lots of damage, Knock Off gets rid of Shedinjas and knocks off the opponents hold items. Rock Slide can cover his flying weakness, but Earthquake has more attack power and accuracy.

    Tropius (M) Lvl 27 @ Leftovers
    Sunny Day
    Solarbeam
    Hidden Power Fire
    Synthesis

    Just use Sunny Day and his other 3 moves will be powered up. He'll speed up, too because of his ability.

    Gorebyss (M) Lvl 23 @ Leftovers
    Surf
    Baton Pass
    Ice Beam/Iron Defense/Amnesia/Agility
    Amnesia/Agility/Iron Defense/Ice Beam

    I use this pokemon as a Baton Passer.

    Manectric (F) Lvl. 34 @ Leftovers
    Thunderbolt
    Thunder Wave
    Hidden Power Ice/Grass/Water
    Crunch

    and either

    Anorith (M) Lvl 20
    Scratch
    Harden
    Mud Sport
    Water Gun

    or

    Lairon (F) Lvl 34
    Earthquake
    Iron Tail
    Secret Power
    Headbutt

    Use Lairon, but evolve him first, cause you won't be able to use the following moveset then: Focus Punch, Substitute, Double-Edge(if he has Rock Head as trait)/Return(if not), Earthquake/Rock Slide/Counter.

    And I need a sixth one that will even it out...any suggestions?

    Maybe try a fire type like Camerupt or Torkoal for tank, Blaziken is a good mixed sweeper, or you can try Arcanine, too.
    If you think that you would need rather a ground type, try Flygon or Donphan.


    Btw, next time include hold items, ok? ;)

    Seems like you haven't got that far in the game, but anyway, I hope my suggestions will help you. Well, good luck!
     
    Thanks!

    I like Camerupt, I will pick him. :)

    And I usually don't use hold items, are they really useful?
     
    You're welcome.
    Yes, hold items are quite useful. It's not a bad thing to regain some HP with Leftovers in the battle, isn't it.

    And here's a Camerupt moveset then:
    Overheat
    Rock Slide
    Earthquake
    Explosion

    I like Overheat, but I wish there were more PP for it. Then again, every time you use it, it drops your Sp. Att, so maybe that would not be the best idea. :confused:

    On the risk of getting OT, where do I find Leftovers? I have not seen one.
     
    Rock Slide, Earthquake and Explosion use Camerupt's attack stat so only Overheat's power will be lowered. You can always switch out and you can use a full-powered Overheat again.

    You can find Leftovers on the ship in R/S/E that goes from Slateport to Lilycove after you beat the E4. You can also get Leftovers from Colosseum I heard, though I don't have Colosseum, so I don't know about that.
     
    You can get Leftovers in Colloseum, and In FR/LG you get it under the Snorlax with the Itemfinder.

    Hariyama@Lefties
    Nature:252 Attack, 129 Defence, 129 HP
    Substitute
    Reversal
    Cross Chop
    HP [Ghost]

    Best Hariyama set ever.
    :D
     
    I like the Physical Sweeping Tropius more. I'm a bit hazy on the EVs though. >_<

    Tropius (Adamant Nature) @Leftovers
    EVs: 252 Attack and some Def and Sp.Def
    -Aerial Ace
    -Swords Dance
    -EQ
    -Steel Wing

    I hope this helps.
     
    I actually have two Tropius, one is shiny. So maybe I will use both. :)

    Thank you all. :)
