My Changes/Comments are in BOLD:

SS Team:

Electrode: Lv 100 Holding Light Clay
Thunderbolt
Reflect
Light Screen
Explosion

Electrode doesn't have much going for it save it's speed. It's movepool is pretty shallow, and doesn't have good coverage. Give it Thunderbolt for STAB, and the dual-screen combo to halve all damage taken. Explosion is a kind of last resort thing. The Light Clay will increase the duration of Reflect & Light Screen

Rhydon: Lv 100
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Megahorn
Swords Dance

Not too bad, but give Rhydon Swords Dance over Hammer Arm. After a Swords Dance, it can OHKO pretty much anything it runs into.


Carnivine: Lv 100
Power Whip
Crunch
Toxic
Protect

Toxic + Protect can cripple a lot of Pokemon. Crunch is the only other thing I would give it, but use Carnivine as a status inflicter. Use Toxic, then Protect until the opponent faints from poison.

Charizard: Lv 100 Holding Charcoal
Flamethrower
Dragon Claw/Dragon Pulse
Roost
Fly

You don't want 3-4 attacks of the same type on one Pokemon. Give Charizard Dragon Claw or Dragon Pulse, as Dragon + Fire = perfect neutral coverage against every type. If your Special Attack is higher than your Attack, give it Dragon Pulse. Roost is instant recovery. Stay away from Blast Burn and similar moves that require a recharge. Fly is decent enough in-game as I suppose it's for traveling purposes.

Machamp: Lv 100
Dynamicpunch
Stone Edge
Poison Jab
Earthquake

Again, stay away from moves that require a recharge. Give Machamp Earthquake over Giga Impact.

Slowking: Lv 100
Surf
Psychic
Ice Beam
Nasty Plot

Surf over Water Pulse due to the higher power. Confusion is nice, but don't rely on it.

HG Team:

Hitmonlee: Lv 100 Holding a Expert Belt
Stone Edge/Rock Slide
Close Combat
Earthquake
Blaze Kick

Give Hitmonlee Stone Edge or Rock Slide over a second fighting move. Rock + Ground gives excellent coverage, and allows you to use the Expert Belt more effective with Blaze Kick + Close Combat.

Honchkrow: Lv 100 Holding a Razor Claw
Night Slash
Fly
Shadow Ball
Thunder Wave

Decent enough. Although Consider teaching it a fighting move like Brick Break over Shadow Ball.

Scizor: Lv 100 Holding a Bright Powder
U-Turn
Brick Break
Night Slash
Swords Dance

Nice. But if your Scizor has the Technician ability and you have a Heart Scale, consider giving it Bullet Punch over Brick Break or Night Slash. If not, then Iron Head will work just as well.

Venusaur: Lv 100 Holding a Leftovers
Sludge Bomb
Synthesis
Petal Dance
Sleep Powder

This is a much better Venusaur set. Venusaur doesn't really work well with the Choice items, as it doesn't have many decent power attacks. Give it Synthesis for recovery and sleep powder for status.

Gyrados (shiny): Lv 100 Holding a Scope Lens
Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Ice Fang
Earthquake

This is a standard Gyarados set and easily the best in-game. Dragon Dance can come in handy, and Waterfall is it's best STAB attack. Earthquake destroys Electric types it may run into. Keep Ice Fang

Magcargo: Lv 100 Holding a Lagging Tail
Curse
Gyro Ball
Flamethrower
Earth Power

Not a bad set here, but I don't have experience with this Pokemon so I wouldn't really know.

Hope I helped.
