    Here are some Starter movesets i've been thinking of

    Venasaur[adamant]
    EVs - Att, hp, SpDef
    sludge bomb
    earthquake
    sword dance
    sleep powder/leech seed/return

    So what if skarm and weezing owns it ^_^

    Blastoise[modest]
    EVs - hp, SpDef, SpAtt
    yawn/haze
    rapid spin
    surf
    ice beam/roar/rest/haze

    Charizard - no need for anything here

    Meganium[calm]
    EVs - hp, SpDef, SpAtt
    HP grass/ice
    counter/reflect/light screen/earthquake
    reflect/light screen/toxic
    leech seed

    Feraligator[adamant]
    EVs - Att, Def, hp
    earthquake
    focus punch
    rock slide/return
    sword dance

    Hum..........

    Typhlosion[+Sp,-Def]
    EVs - Att, Sp, SpAtt
    fire blast
    substitute
    focus punch
    rock slide/HP ice

    Makes an ok skarmbliss counter
    too bad its movepool sucks



    Go ahead and attack away...........i'm cool wit it

     
    Jhoto starters = useless, because they're ALL overshadowed by the other starters of the respective type.

    as for Venusaur, that's just standard though I like Venusuar with both sleep and leech... so personally I'll ditch swords dance ^^; As for Blastoise, ack it's just hard to use well imho... or maybe it can't be well, either one. Tried to use one before, but either it dies in 2 hits with only moderate offensive power, or it's so defensive yet isn't good enough to be annoying like skarmweez or milotic.
     
    Too bad the jhoto starters had to suck so much...........
    Tyh would have been pretty good had it not been for the crappy movepool

    For Typhlosion i can also go
    Typhlosion[timid]@petaya berry
    EVs - Sp, SpAtt, hp
    HP ice
    Flamethrower
    substitute
    sunny day

    Too bad it sucks so much................sigh
     
    for blastoise why not have mirror coat, counter, surf, hp electric/ice beam?

    Mostly because Blastoise can't be an effective tank of both physical and special damage. HP Electric is wasted on Blastoise, since you don't need to attack a water type, there are 5 other Pokemon capable of that.

    Blastoise@Leftovers
    EV: 252 Sp Att, 129 Sp Def, 129 HP
    Nature: + Sp Def, - Att
    Yawn/Haze
    Surf/Hydro Pump
    Ice Beam
    Rest/Toxic/Haze/Yawn
     
    I keep forgetting Blastoise can learn Rapid Spin.

    EDIT: Sceptile Moveset

    Sceptile@Petaya Berry
    EV: 252 Speed, 252 Sp Att, 6 Sp Def
    Nature: + Speed, - Att
    Dragon Claw
    Crunch/Thunderpunch
    HP Fire
    Leaf Blade

    So standard, but it works for me. I can see some Groudon abuse here - replace Leaf Blade with Solarbeam and Sceptile really rips. Thunderpunch is only if you have Emerald (for all flying types except Aerodactyl and Swellow, who are faster)
