Sai- Yup I've been wanting to give my pokemon names so I just used their japanese names with the exception of Yanmega and Mewtwo who I used different names for. My Yanmega is called Meganuera witch is the prehistoric dragonfly its based off of and my Mewtwo is Purge, witch was his nickname when he was in his armor.
EDIT- Night Toph!

  Night Toph!
I checked it out, Sai, but then you ABANDONED THE THREAD and didn't read what I wrote afterwards ¬_¬
You've got to stop doing that, dude, it's annoying.
Yeah, I do, Live, but it depends on the nature it has, doesn't it? =3
I'm new to all of this. Bear with me.
Right; I've written some sort of guide to the stats I want for each pokemon next to their name, but I can't quite make heads or tails of it now, so I'll just write their natures instead. I read somewhere in the rules that you can have pokemon with a type other than that of your gym provided they can learn one move of that type, a fact I've thoroughly abused.
Here we are!
Plusle
Nature: Calm
Ability: Plus
Item: Leftovers
Charge
Magnet Rise
Fake Tears
Baton Pass
Lanturn
Nature: Modest
Ability: Volt Absorb
Item: Damp Rock
Magnet Rise
Rain Dance
Hydro Pump
Thunder
Raichu (purely because I already have a Pikachu that I love >.>)
Nature: Modest
Ability: Static
Item: Undecided
Charge
Thunder
Rest
Sleep Talk
Flygon
Nature: Hasty
Ability: Levitate
Item: Shell Bell
Outrage
Sunny Day
Fire Blast
ThunderPunch
Luxray (female, that's important)
Nature: Modest
Ability: Rivalry
Item: Undecided
Rain Dance
Thunder
Charge
Magnet Rise
Starmie
Nature: Impish
Ability: Natural Cure
Item: Undecided
Rapid Spin
Facade
Confuse Ray
Thunder Wave
So here's how I see it; Plusle's the only one who can learn Baton Pass and is an electric type (apart from Minun, obviously) so I'm thinking high in hp and defense with the spillover in speed. I send it out, magnet rise, use fake tears and charge both twice and then on the turn Magnet Rise runs out use Baton Pass.
Basically, it's not a problem if it gets taken down, but it it doesn't, it'll do me some stat damage off the bat. Kinda like a volunteer battering ram.
Then I've tried to cover my bases so I'll be in a decent position no matter what comes out. Laturn, obviously, has Rain Dance and a damp rock so that all my thunders are accurate, but I've given Rain Dance to Luxray too just in case it gets knocked out (I've learned very quickly not to put all my eggs in one basket, so to speak). He's also something of a dark horse, being both electric and water type; I gave him Hydro Pump as well as Thunder and both will benefit from Rain Dance and STAB, making him a real contender (and possibly my favourite). Starmie's my status b***h; if Stealth Rock or Poison Spikes or some other arse contraption is used, I send it in and use Rapid Spin and its Natural Cure heals it when I swicth out. Besides that, if it switches into a bad combination and gets low in health, I gave it Facade to go down with a bang. Obviously, Thunder Wave explains itself, and Confuse Ray is one of my favourite moves just because it's such an annoying little slip.
Raichu's one of my real electric fighters. It'll be one of the only ones without Magnet Rise, which makes it risky if it's the one switched in after Baton Pass because I'll be counting on my foes to use super-effective ground moves, but I tried to remedy this with Rest and Sleep Talk; chances are it's 2/3 that it'll pick a damage dealing move.
Flygon's my secret weapon. Just in case there's a type I can exploit, or a combination that's picking off my electric types, it's the one that got what I call a "fail-safe" moveset. His levitate already means ground moves won't work (SCREW YOU, EARTHQUAKE!), and as three out of his four moves are damage dealing, I've given him a Shell Bell too. I think he'll be the one that they won't be expecting, and plus his moves are powerful (outrage with STAB, Flamethrower with Sunny Day that can be countered afterwards with Rain Dance) so I can bring him out and make my opponent all "WTF?!" whilst I kick their a** into the dust. It also means I can use attacks that will work against types or force my opponent to switch.
Finally, Luxray's my back-up. It has Rain Dance should Lanturn be taken down, Magnet Rise just in case (as do most of them, I'm thoroughly expecting a challenger to bring out at least one ground type and try to take me down) and Thunder and Charge, respectively. The reason I like charge so much is that it not only does damage, it makes the next electric move more powerful (as you all surely know, being the gods of pokenerds that you are). Therefore, it's always a good filler move. She's also the one one I've DEFINITELY got a gender for - reason being that I want her to have the ability Rivalry; from my experience, most people favour male pokemon more than female, so my chances of having an advantage against that gender are more probable. I did toy with the idea of Intimidate, and I still am kinda, but I like Rivalry a lot - we'll just have to see, really.
Alright, please proceed to tear my plan to pieces, if you will >.>

Sunny- Well I looked over your team and you've put a lot of thought into it but honestly to me it seems like its just begging to be swept by Quakes
Also I'm opening up an Art Gallery in the Creative Corner, maybe check out my work =P

I know you can't see me, Live, but I'm glaring at you right now.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SWEPT BY QUAKES?! I haven't spammed Magnet Rise for nothing, you know!

You totally did, Sai xD I wrote that like five minutes after you posted and you wandered off somewhere and went offline.
Anywho, I'll go back and finish what I was going to say at some point. I read all the way through it and really liked it, but I wanted to give you a bit of detailed feedback =3
Edit: That's what I'm hoping to use Flygon for, and possibly Lanturn and Starmie. Earthquake won't affect Flygon and it won't be super-effective on Starmie, and I'm hoping to make Lanturn really fast. Raichu's going to be a speed b***h anyway, but he doesn't have Magnet Rise, so that's not relevant...

Sunny- I'm not trying to put you down or anything, please don't take it that way, I just wanted to see that you took that into consideration that's all. In the end like I always say, its how you use the pokemon so if you think you can do then that's great I look forward to seeing what your team can do =)
Just finished my gallery for now ^^
I'll be adding more tomorrow

I'm not as annoyed as I seem, Live. I'm just very dramatic. I like pretending to be offended.
Pretending to abuse people is always fun too.
>:3
Hello hello hello Masu! <3
It's like, half nine in the morning here. Where do you work? ^.^
