Suggestions for improvement?

[ladygalaxy]

I was wondering if someone could rate my Emerald team? I know its lightyears old, but I don't have a DS and I don't want to resort to PD Roms, so I just started the game again.

I'm at the Battle Frontier, and I've won 1 gold symbol and 2 silvers. I've bred for some egg moves, but not for natures. So ignore those for now.

I realize I'm missing a main tank/sponge. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

For a tank, you could use Blissey or a Milotic, or Cresselia ot Regice (sp? rofl). Those would be your best choices.

I like your team otherwise. I was afraid your team would get killed by Ice types after the first two, but you've got that covered. :D

Haha yeah, I'm pretty sure I have at least one Pokemon/move accounting for every type (I think?) I was considering Milotic, but the moveset would be pretty similar to Kingdra's (Surf, Ice Beam....) and Kingdra has the superior type combo. I guess standard Blissey's the best option now, eh?
