    jirachi@leftovers,toxic,fireblast/flamethrower/fire punch,phychic

    Hidden Power [Grass]

    Thunder wave
    Thunder BOlt

    NEVER start off with Magneton. Not only is it too slow, but you just gave away that you have one to your opponent. You keep Maggie on ice until Skarmory shows up. Also, I do hope that HP is Grass.

    Ludicolo @leftovers
    Leech seed
    Rain dance
    Surf
    Toxic

    ^^^ I like ludicolo because he poisons them then drains their health...i want a pokemon that can do this but has tough defence.....

    Venusaur or Milotic.

    Walrein @Nevermeltice
    Blizzard
    Aurora beam
    Ice ball
    Ice Beam

    ^^^I really need help with that....

    UGH. Do not ever give the same Poke two attacking moves of the same type, that aren't called Quick Attack or Mach Punch. Actually, Walrein isn't a very good option. Go with a physical wall like Weezing or Skarmory instead.

    Snorlax @leftovers
    curse
    double-edge
    shadowball
    rest

    Fire Blast > Shadow Ball to counter the typical normal resist switch in.

    Kabutops @ Salac Berry
    - Endure
    - Flail
    - Rock Slide
    - Swords Dance

    VERY bad choice. If you insist, go with the EndFlail version. You should really change Metagross to be physical and get some kind of good special sweeper on your team (i.e. the Alakazam or Gardevoir you are wanting to add).


    Metagross @ Leftovers/Choice Band
    - Agility/Shadow Ball
    - Earthquake
    - Explosion
    - Meteor Mash

    A Metagross without Meteor Mash and Explosion is a VERY sad Metagross. While its base SAtk is a good 95, its base Atk of 135 is awesome. Use Agility with Lefties and SB with CB.


    Ok...thats my team. I want to put either Alakazm or Gradevoir in there. Maybe Articuno. PLease please help me. Change it around if you want just please. I dont want to lose anymore. Thank you!
    Make some of the suggested changes and post again.

    BTW - blahblah, please don't post saying someone's team stinks and then makes suggestions that stink just as bad. NEVER use Fly or Dig. Ever.
     
    thank you!

    i need help with wheezing & Milotic moveset, and evs for my pokemon.

    If you could help it would be great!
     
    ~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

    blahblah, the team you suggested is even worse than crazitenniskid's original team. Please don't give advice unless you are knowledgeable in what makes a good team and a good moveset.

    Crazitenniskid, do not type your Netbattle team out. In Team Builder, go to File and choose Export to Text. Then copy and paste it here. It's much easier that way.

    Anyways:

    Weezing (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Levitate
    EVs: 252 HP / 48 Atk / 208 Def
    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
    -Pain Split
    -Haze
    -Will-o-wisp/Fire Blast
    -Sludge Bomb

    Metagross @ Leftovers
    Trait: Clear Body
    EVs: 252 Atk / 156 Def / 100 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Meteor Mash
    - Earthquake
    - Agility
    - Explosion

    Venusaur (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Overgrow
    EVs: 140 HP / 192 Def / 28 SAtk / 148 SDef
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
    - Leech Seed
    - Sleep Powder
    - Synthesis
    - Razor Leaf

    Magneton @ Leftovers
    Trait: Magnet Pull
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    - Thunderbolt
    - Hidden Power [Fire]
    - Substitute
    - Metal Sound

    Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Thick Fat
    EVs: 156 HP / 176 Atk / 108 Def / 68 SDef
    Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
    -Double-Edge
    -Earthquake
    -Sleep Talk
    -Rest

    I like Sleep Talk Snorlax more than Curselax. Absorbs sleep and can attack while sleeping.

    Milotic (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Marvel Scale
    EVs: 132 HP / 252 Def / 12 Spd / 56 SAtk / 56 SDef
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
    -Surf
    -Ice Beam
    -Hypnosis
    -Recover

    Thanks to all of you who provided great help! except some of you *cough* blah blah *cough*. Oh yeah and my favorite tip was this: Crazitenniskid, do not type your Netbattle team out. In Team Builder, go to File and choose Export to Text. Then copy and paste it here. It's much easier that way. ....THIS HAS SAVED ME ABOUT AN HOUR OF MY LIFE. You guys are awesome. I can't wait to start battling!

    Ludicolo @leftovers

    Surf Dive
    Toxic
    Ability: Rain Dish
    ^^^ I like ludicolo because he poisons them then drains their health...i want a pokemon that can do this but has tough defence.....
    This is a tri-healing Ludicolo. Dive is not recommended by some because of the one-turn delay before attack. However, it is a defensive maneuver that allows the Toxic and Leech Seed damage to compound, as well as another turn of tri-healing. EVs and nature can raise DEF/SD.

    Walrein @Nevermeltice @Leftovers
    Blizzard Rest
    Aurora beam Surf
    Ice ball Snore
    Ice Beam

    ^^^I really need help with that....

    Snorlax @leftovers
    curse
    double-edge
    shadowball
    rest

    I prefer Amnesia Lax to standard curselax but it requires a trap-passer

    Kabutops @ Salac Berry
    brick break
    returnFlail
    swords dance Endure
    toxic Rock Slide

    I see you want a Salac Sweeper Kabutops. Not the best Salac Sweeper, but resistance to Sandstorm helps.

    metagross @no item..i didnt know what to pick Leftovers
    ice punch Meteor Mash
    psychic
    thunderpunch Agility
    toxic Earthquake

    Ok...thats my team. I want to put either Alakazm or Gradevoir in there. Maybe Articuno. PLease please help me. Change it around if you want just please. I dont want to lose anymore. Thank you!

    I suggest replacing Walrein with one of those, preferably one of the psychics. Alakazam and Gardevoir are extremely different in stats, but will possess similar sets. The standard is a CM set on both, but I prefer Gardyblock to CM Gardy.

    Alakazam@Leftovers
    Psychic
    Calm Mind
    T/Punch
    F/Punch

    Gardevoir@Leftovers
    Psychic
    Calm Mind
    T/Bolt
    F/Punch

    These are the standard sets. Some people like to use an Alakazam with Trick or Skill Swap however.

    The Gardyblock set is this one.

    Gardevoir@Leftovers
    Psychic
    Reflect
    Wish
    T/Bolt

    Not recommended for use on Alakazam because Alakazam's DEF doesn't break 300 with Reflect active.
     
    Dive is still meh.

    MM/RS/EQ/Agility for Agiligross. MM/RS/EQ/Explosion for CB gross.

    For Kabby use RS/SD/Flail/Endure or Substitute.

    Snore is stupid and pointless. Stalking Walrein is ok in UU but sucks in OU. EQ is an option also for stuff like Manectric.

    Swift Swim > Rain Dish IMO. Ludicolo's little "TriHeal" plan goes to waste once something like Salamence shows up and ruins its fun. :\
     
    heres my suggestion, although I'm not an expert.
    Magnaton: replace thunder wave and hidden power with zap cannon and and lock on(alsome combination) or just Thunder Punch.
    Ludicolo:I'ts fine.
    Walrein: they are all ice moves. use water type moves for a surprise for a fire type.
    Snorlax: Try a rest-belly drum combo and use sleep talk aswell.(keep double edge). try using a chesto berry instead of lefties.
    Metagross:I'd pesonally swith toxic with Earthquake.
    as for Kabutops: I cant think of a strategy for that one.

    Zap Cannon and Lock On is a HORRIBLE combination. Please don't ruin Magneton by sticking those moves on it. Thunder Punch is equally horrible on a Poke that learns the much better Thunderbolt.
     
    Sheesh. This thread is getting freaken crazy. Go with AB's suggestions for Pete's sake. He even included the EVs.
