well, on FR i've finished raising my main team (If you don't know Pidgeot, Mewtwo, Tyranitar, Raikou, Typhlosion, Blastoise) to L75 (except blastoise L80) and tested them out vs. the elite 4. They pwned. So now I'm working on an alternate team with pretty much the same types as my main team with some added dual-types. Crobat, Mr. Mime, Rhydon, Cloyster, Arcanine, Jolteon. Cloyster was EV trained to bring up its unfairly-low SDef so it would fare better in battles where Electric types pose a major threat. I'll also work on bringing its HP up a little. Still no luck finding that elusive shiny magikarp, though...
