Final Team:
Dreamer the Salamence Lv.51

Dragonbreath,Dragon Claw,Earthquake,Brick Break
Especially useful against Drake and took out most of his pokemon.
Great attack proved Earthquake great against Wallace's Tentacruel

Virtuon the Porygon2 Lv.55

Psychic,Thunderbolt,Shadow Ball,Tri Attack
A Valuable member because of his high Sp.Atk and decent Atk
Rarely ever used as lead except against Pheobe because of Horrid speed
Made great use of Virtuon against Wallace using Thunderbolt

Blazer the Rapidash Lv.53

Overheat,Toxic,Bounce,Double Edge
Strong member because Double edge and High attack make a good Combo
Only drawback was that it doesn't have flamethrower to match

Soar the Swellow Lv.51

Steel Wing,Fly,Aerial Ace,Return
Used as a Lead or attacker against Sidney's Mightyena,Shiftry and Cacturne
Great speed makes it nearly always attack first

Cutiecasie,I suggest That either Hariyama or Blaziken should be holding a King's Rock because they rely on direct attacks
For training places I think focusing on one pokemon and giving it a macho brace in victory road will work

I also want to challenge this again

Deck:Overgrowth
User: Red
Pokemon:Gyarados,Ivysaur,Beedrill,Starmie
