I was struggling with finding a final move for Sceptile as well, since so many were lost in the transfer :( Honestly, I know this might not help a lot but I think you could put anything you want in that slot, as Sceptile covers everything it really wants to anyway, especially since it has its teammates to help with its weaknesses. Maybe Agility or Detect?

The rest of the team looks pretty solid, though. I would, however, swap out Aerial Ace for something else, because Fly has more base power and NPCs aren't going to be switching their Pokemon anyway, so you'll be able to land a hit. Maybe Steel Wing, since your team could use another weapon against Rock-types as 3 of your Pokemon are weak to it.

Sounds nice! I was kinda thinking about that before :) Thanks!

You should replace Beautifly with a Gardevoir. Gardevoir is not only stronger, its typing (which is Psychic/Fairy) is also better, both offensively and defensively. Additionally, it gets Thunderbolt, which can be useful against Water and Flying types.

I'm already set on my team. I just need suggestions with moves and items.

In that case, you could give your Dusknoir Thunderpunch instead of Earthquake, since your Whiscash gets Earthquake already. Also, you could give your Sceptile the Sceptilite.

Actually, now that i think of it, I should give Armaldo Earthquake instead of Brick Break and give Dusknoir Thunder Punch as you said. (Gosh, Dusknoir needs Iron Fist) Also, for the mega stone, I'm waiting to see who else has the power to mega evolve before I'm set on it. I'm kinda hoping Camerupt, Cradily, Armaldo, and not matter how crazy the idea is Dustox and Beautifly, as the are 2 of my favourite Pokemon.
