Okay so I will be facing Shinnoh's elite four soon but befor I do i'd like some input on how to improve my team.

Piplup / Pippin
Level: 46
Item: Everstone
Ability: Torrent
Moves:
~ Brine
~ Surf
~ Drill Peck
~ Hydro Pump
Notes: Yes I know it's unevolved. Part of my philosophy of Pokemon is that you don't need to evolve all your Pokemon just to make them strong.That's not going to change.Please don't insult me for it. (Also my starter)

Staraptor/ Hikarling
Level: 45
Item: Fresh Water
Ability: Intimidate
Moves:
~ Close Combat
~ Fly
~ Take Down
~ Aerial Ace
Notes:

Rapidash / Flashfire
Level: 45
Item: Flame Plate
Ability:Run Away
Moves:
~Stomp
~Fire Spin
~Ember
~Fire Blast
Notes: He's also one of my premier contest competitors, so keeping the same contest type in the moves is fairly important.

Luxray / Midnight
Level: 45
Item: Magnet
Ability:Intimidate
Moves:
~Crunch
~Thunder Fang
~Thunderbolt
~Spark
Notes:

Torterra /Akupara
Level: 46
Item: Big Root
Ability:Overgrow
Moves:
~Razor Leaf
~Crunch
~Rock Climb
~Earthquake
Notes: My only Pokemon with Rock Climb. Though I supose I realy schould put it on a differnt one.

Spot 6
Notes: Uh not sure who to put here so suggestions are welcome. Normaly eaither my Jirachi or my Garachomp. I'm not sure if i'm ok with useing Jirachi, a legendary seems almost like cheating to me.

Don't worry about the unevolved, I think thats a nice philosophy.

I think you may need to get them a little bit stronger, their levels aren't quite high enough. Use Garchomp, because if you use Jirachi, you have 3 pokemon with a weakness to ground, which Bertha uses. Also, even though your Rapidash is your contest pokemon, you may want to give a stronger move. Ember is not going to cut it.

But all in all it is a good team, and could very easily destroy the E4 if you play it right.

No evolve? But he looks so cool...ok. I suggest you replace brine and hydropump with blizzard and earthquake.

Good move set. I might get rid of fly though. I don't use flying type anymore, but I never thought it very useful. Unless, of course, you have a strategy for it. twisted

Get rid of fire spin, stomp, and ember AS FAST AS YOU CAN! Those are terrible! I would use flare blitz...hmmm...bulbapedia is down, or else I would tell you what else to use. Look up move sets for Rapidash.

Pretty good move set for Luxray. The thing I could possibly harp about is thunderbolt. It's one of the best electric moves in the game, but it's a special attack. You could probably keep it though. (I did. )

Never, ever, use HMs besides surf and maybe waterfall on your team. Replace that with frenzy plant. I would keep razor leaf for the accuracy over leaf storm.

Definetly use Garchomp. Legendaries may be cool, but Garchomp is a POWERHOUSE.


Overall, a pretty good team. I agree with the person above; higher levels. Lol, our teams are almost exactly the same.
