So what I'm wondering is what kind of pokemon would you have that would make a really good team for battles.

I recently got Platinum so keeping up with the times can be a little tricky, but heres a few ideas

Dusknoir- for it's high defense and Sp. Def. possibly holding a shell bell for some HP recovery.
Will 'O' wisp
Curse
Night Shade
Confuse ray

Rhyperior- for it's brutal attack and great def.
Earthquake
Rock wrecker
Hammer arm
Explosion

Snorlax for high HP and attack. holding Chesto berry
Rest
Body slam
Giga impact
Last resort

Weaville- High attack and speed. holding scope lens
Night slash
Ice punch
Sword's dance
Avalanche

I'm still working on filling the last slots but there are a few examples of my idea of a good party.

unless the foe uses mach punch or such on agaisnt your weavile, avalanche isnt useful at all

and pretty much they'd use Mach punch, and due to low defenses if you suvived that blow you'd be lucky

also go leftover for your dusknoir:
in the competitive sides, the dusknoir's level is your night shade's damage maount (max of 100 hp set damage) however msot people fight at lv 50 rules, reducing it's use and shell bell's use (like 1/16 of the damge you inflct you recover, mind i dont know exactly)
also noteworthy is that it wouldnt be useful if a normal type came out so leftovers is better for dusknoir

also you need a special attacker, as for which one, well i dunno

(and btw a slight little opinion: a dream team isnt meant to be competition based but rather to be a team of pokemon you like because you like them, like my team of Scizor, Blaziken, Gallade, and Jirachi, all good pokemon yeah, but their MS's suck, save for jirachi)

Hmm you got a point with avalanche so I might go with Nasty Plot instead. As for special attacker, exactly the reason I left that out being the possibilities that they're so many good special attackers such as my Alakazam with nearly 400 sp. attack(I'm guessing I got real lucky with the IVs) and 320 speed. Maybe one of the 3 dragons with Draco Meteor. Decisions decisions *insert evil laugh here*

Uh..nasty plot is even more useless, Weavile is centered aroudn physical and fast attacks nasty plot increase special attack

and if your alakazam has nearly or 400+ SP atk with that speed, USE HIM!
and draco meteor is moreso a all-around ending move

endign move ie
in a three-on-three you've both gone down to one pokemon, use draco meteor as the last move, it should, if yo did things right, Ko and give you a win, if not, good luck

as for weavil: i'd say teach it metal claw, weaker move power-wise yeah, but steel comes in handy at times and has a 10% chance of increasing you ATK, so it's pretty useful if you use it accordingly

Nasty plot raises sp. attack, my bad. I thought it raised speed sweatdrop so I'm scratching that and going with your advice on using Metal claw.

I'm not really a strategy user unless im using a shuckle , or something along the lines of him but if you were to ask me i think you should probably get a slaking , even though they have the ability "Truant" they still pack a punch x2

Shuckle + power trick + Rollout = Ouch. Granted, it's defense will greatly suffer but theres ways around that.

This works only for double battles and the like but have a pokemon that knows gastro acid and use it on Slaking which kills off the truant ability.

Aww Heck

I agree with you on that. My "Dream Team" is FAR from perfect. It has the biggest most obvious vulnerability to dark and ghoust types but I honestly don't care much about it. But dispote the HUGE gap, my team's never let me doun so far.

despite being normal typed, and having Truant, slaking's HP and atacvk more than make up for being dullwitted every other turn

his HP can max at a whopping 504
and samtimely with adamant nature and 31IV/252/EV his ATK can max at 460

so to have a slaking with max EVed/IVs HP and Max IVS/EVed Atk is perfectly possible, making one massively strong "slothrilla"

of course if palying competetively, let him know Yawn or thunderpunch (but not both) Hammer arm is good to, very very good, and faint attack is another good option

Substitute is also very good if you use leftovers with him,
really a deadly but dense pokemon, aww heck i've gotta go train one

mine is gonna be:
adamant
leftovers
Yawn
Hammer Arm
Faint Attack
Substitute
(objective, yawn first, then wiat, then substitute, then use either hammer arm of faint attack according to situation, resubsituting when needed)
