    I want to make a team in Emerald and don't want it to be a messed up one or with ubers. I have a plan to get this team:

    "image removed"Swampert
    - Surf
    - Ice Beam
    - Earthquake
    - Rest

    "image removed"Gardevoir
    - Psychic
    - Calm Mind
    - Safeguard
    - It was wish but now I don't know which move i need... >_>

    "image removed"Charizard
    - Dragon Dance
    - Aerial Ace
    - Rockslide
    - Fireblast/Flamethrower

    "image removed"Manentric @Petaya Berry
    Timid Nature
    -Thunder Bolt
    - Substitue
    - Crunch
    - I don't know...

    "image removed"Cradily
    - Giga drain
    - Rock Slide
    - Earthquake
    - Recover

    "image removed"Gengar
    - Sludge Bomb
    - Shadow Ball
    - Thunder Bolt
    - Explosion/Focus Punch/ Ice Punch

    I want this team to get better and I don't know which nature I should go on all of them and what items they should be holding. Maybe someone can help me with this team. X_x

    "image removed"Swampert @ Leftovers
    Adamant Nature
    - Curse
    - Rock Slide/Return/HP Rock/Brick Break
    - Earthquake
    - Rest

    IMO Curse works better on this team.

    "image removed"Gardevoir @ Leftovers/Salac Berry/Lum Berry
    Timid Nature
    - Psychic
    - Calm Mind
    - Thunderbolt
    - Rest/Will-o-Wisp/Thunder Wave/Toxic/Destiny Bond/Wish/Mean Look

    One of those for the last slot, WoW is my preference.

    "image removed"Charizard @ Salac Berry/Liechi Berry/Leftovers
    - Dragon Dance/Swords Dance
    - Aerial Ace
    - Earthquake
    - Fireblast/Flamethrower/Overheat/Rock Slide

    For the nature, Adamant for Dragon Dance, or Jolly/Naive for Swords Dance.

    "image removed"Manentric @Petaya Berry
    Timid Nature
    -Thunder Bolt
    - Substitue
    - Crunch
    - Toxic/Thunder Wave

    Timid is good, either Petaya or Leftovers.

    "image removed"Cradily
    - Giga drain
    - Rock Slide
    - Earthquake
    - Recover/Rest

    Yours is a more attacking cradily. You could go with Careful Nature, but Cradily is meant to stall more. And as a tank. Since you have Swampert you could call him your physical wall, then make Cradily your Special one. You could go Toxic, Rest, Amnesia, Rock Slide/Iron defense. Or just choose this one:

    Cradily @ Leftovers
    Impish Nature
    - Toxic/Mirror Coat
    - Rock Slide
    - Recover
    - Earthquake/Iron Defense


    "image removed"Gengar @ Leftovers
    Hasty Nature
    - Substitute
    - Focus Punch
    - Thunder Bolt
    - Ice Punch

    McIceGar. Kewl
    Edit: woops, I thought Naive lowered def and raised Spd, checked and corrected.

    I want this team to get better and I don't know which nature I should go on all of them and what items they should be holding. Maybe someone can help me with this team. X_x

    IMO you have a nice team. Pretty well balanced overall. If you use Gardevoir as a sponge and Swampert/Cradily as a Tank, you can cover mostly everything I guess.

    This team is really good for a first one posted...
    On Cradily I suggest that you use Iron Defence, Rock Slide, Recover, Toxic/Mirror Coat because your Gardevoir can easily Sp.Wall (use wish on Gardevior)
    And for Gengar (It is really hard to EV it ingame for the moveset Lath suggested so use Thunderbolt, Ice Punch, Fire Punch/Giga Drain, Explosion
    Good team
     
    I don't own pokemon box so i can't get a gardevoir with wish. And I can't get ice punch/fire punch before I get to battle frontier and I am in slateport ^^;;. I am getting the pokémons early so I can train them on the way there so I wonder what moves should I use until I will be able to learn ice punch on gengar. >_>;;

    BTW I got Pokémon Ruby/FireRed/Colosseum that I am making this team to emerald for.

    If you have access to so many games, then get rid of lame Manectric for a better Electric Pokemon. Try Ampharos. No one seems to use him anymore, but the fact that he can survive an unSTABed Earthquake is awesome. Plus his Special Attack is tied with Raikou,

    Ampharos @Leftovers
    Modest Nature
    -Thunderbolt
    -Fire Punch
    -Thunder Wave/Substitute
    -Counter/Focus Punch

    Or you can get a Raikou or Zapdos, the best Electric types in the game. They are legendaries, but not ubers.

    AB, who gives a crap if its a Uber anyway. Its not like it matters in-game.
     
    Maybe not to you, but there are a lot of us that prefer to at least have some sort of balance while playing in-game, especially since the difficulty is geared towards six-year olds.
     
    I like Manectric. O_O AND I like Ampharos. But If I use ampharos noone will be able to hurt psychic pokémons pretty good. >_> So I will kepp manectric.

    However my question was, what move should I have instead of ice punch on gengar until I reach the battle frontier? O_o

    Actually a STAB Earthquake from Swampert is going to hurt Psychic-types a lot more than a non-STAB Crunch from a weaker Manectric. Keep in mind that most Psychic-types have low base Def, and the few that do have high base Def (80 or higher) and be hurt in other ways. Don't only follow a Pokes type weakness as that will severly limit what your team can do.

    However my question was, what move should I have instead of ice punch on gengar until I reach the battle frontier? O_o
    Personally, I would keep Ice Beam on Swampert and use Giga Drain on Gengar.

    Not including Ninjask or Electrode either. Anyways, Jolteon is quite awesome, but it needs basically the same moves that Manectric has so you'll need another Substitute tutor.

    Jolteon @Petaya Berry
    Timid Nature (Modest is fine as well)
    Thunderbolt
    Bite
    Substitute
    Baton Pass

    ~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~
     
    I don't have any more substitue tutors T_T

    And i don't like jolteon that much either >____>;; And it's hard to choose which electric pokémon I should have in my team. X_X
     
    The downfall to Jolteon is that it, like many other Eletric-types, have a very limited movepool. I like Amphy better because it at least can learn Fire Punch too, which is definately a plus for an Eletric-type. I like Rakiou best though since it can learn CM, but its sort of hard to raise. Magneton is cool too.

    Also, if you get Jolteon, try to shoot for Modest since even without a +Speed Nature it outspeeds everything in-game if you have it a decent level. Focus mainly on its Special Attack and use AB's set if you use him at all.
     
    I guess i go with ampharos because i like her more. ^___^Thanks for all tips btw.
     
    Good choice for in-game. Amphy is probably one of the best because use legendaries don't make the fun much fun and like AB said Amphy's Special Attack is tied with Kou's.
