    okay since my DS is deader than the keyboard I'm using right now, I can't tell you exactly what my party is, but I have a pretty good idea.

    POKEMON DIAMOND (not competitive, other than a few battles with my bro) :

    heracross - level 64
    close combat
    megahorn
    aerial ace
    shadow claw

    giratina (altered) - level 80
    earth power
    shadow force
    dragon claw
    ancient power

    dialga - level 63
    draco meteor
    flash cannon
    ancient power
    fire blast

    torterra - level 64
    frenzy plant
    earthquake
    giga drain
    crunch

    honchkrow - level 64
    night slash
    faint attack
    wing attack
    ???

    gyarados - level 64
    hydro pump
    surf
    bite
    ice fang

    I'll just move this over to the In-Game forum for you since this doesn't appear to be a full competitive team.
     
    First of all, I don't suggest using legends. Not a good idea. But it's entirely up to you.
    Second, Wood Hammer on Torterra instead of Giga Drain. You have to relearn it with a Heart Scale.
    Third, I would delete Ancient Power on Giratina and replace it with Aura Sphere.
    Fourth, Honchkrow. Teach it Fly. Dark pulse over Night Slash if it has higher Sp. Atk. Then I would say superpower and Heat wave, but you can only get those in Platinum. The rest is alright.
     
    okay, so wood hammer... I was considering it, because he had a SpA hindering nature, but the backlash... huh, well, it makes sense.

    can't quite teach giratina aura sphere yet, he (along with dialga/palika) learns it at level 90 or 100, not quite sure, but one of those. but I was going to when he hit it.

    and no, honchkrow has like 220 Atk to a 170 SpA, which is still good, but it's just so much better.

    OH! and I remembered the last pokemon!

    GYARADOS - level 64
    ice fang
    hydro pump (will become aqua tail when I can charge it again)
    surf (for HMing and for better accuracy, but can be replaced I guess)
    bite
     
    Waterfall is better than Aqua Tail; the extra 10 power is definitely not worth 10 accuracy.

    Get Dragon Dance, which is incredibly useful when fighting anything, and put Earthquake/Stone Edge on it. :P
     
    so,

    GYARADOS - level 64
    waterfall
    ice fang
    dragon dance
    stone edge/earthquake?

    what about bite? not useful?
     
    Bite is half-decent for an in-game team, but when you're fighting competitively, and even more powerful trainers in-game, Bite just doesn't cut it. Yes, the flinching is nice, but it just lacks the power that Waterfall or Earthquake does. And Waterfall can also flinch as well. Waterfall is also STAB-boosted. It's far more useful than Bite.

    And go with Earthquake on Gyarados. It can destroy its electric weaknesses. It's also got more accuracy than Stone Edge.
