I am looking into making a moveset for an adamant luxray with a choice band, spark is of course the first move, since it is the only move of its type it can use that is physical, so how about superpower next? Does that sound good? AM I getting this competitive breeding thing right?

Luxray @ Choice Band
Nature: Adamant (+Atk,-Sp.Atk) or Jolly (+Spe, -Sp.Atk)
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
~ Spark / Thunder Fang
~ Crunch
~ Superpower
~ Ice Fang / Thunder Wave / Return
Spark vs Thunder Fang is strictly +5% accuracy/+20% Paralysis vs 10% Flinch. Ice Fang offers type coverage against Ground-types that would switch-in against Spark/Thunder Fang and Thunder Wave. Thunder Wave in general can slow down enemy sweepers. Alternatively, Return is the strongest physical attack Luxray can learn that can be used consecutively without repercussions. Crunch and Superpower are strictly for type coverage of one another.

I think there was a decent Gallade moveset around here somewhere...If I can't find it, can someone give me a good Moveset for one? (Also, what's a good Ice type Pokemon to use? I'm thinking of adding one to the team I'll register for the Wi-Fi Gyms. I know you guys want one at a time, but these are the last two I need for my Wi-Fi Gym team, and help would be appreciated.)

This is the set I myself run for Gallade:
Gallade @ Leftovers
Adamant: 216 hp, 38 atk, 176 def, 80 speed
Thunder wave
Bulk Up/Swords Dance
Close Combat
Shadow Sneak
You get to use Thunder wave to cripple their switch in or whatever pokemon they have out, then you set up with Bulk Up or Swords Dance to get huge. The difference between Swords Dance and Bulk Up is that bulk up increases your defense while Swords Dance increases your attack faster. Close Combat seems counter productive with Bulk Up, but it's power is so huge it is more or less worth it. Shadow Sneak is priority and with Close Combat, you get perfect coverage (I think).

Well, my Gallade has a Calm nature, and I've decided to go with Psychic, Psycho Cut, Focus Blast (Which may be replaced with Close Combat after leveling him up), and Night Slash. What EVs do you recommend?

Ice punch sounds good. What EVs are recommended, though? I know Attack is one now, and I'll probably boost speed some, but are there any other stats you guys would recommend?

EVs: 6 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spd

Or Agility Pass Dash set, which is meant to put any of it's counters to sleep to buy you time to use Agility and pass the speed boost onto one of your team's sweepers. Of course, this set is only available to those who have access to the Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness for the Gamecube.
