Team for Little Battles in PBR

Abra w/ Wise Glasses
Nature: Modest although I ended up with Mild which works fine too I suppose
- Psychic
- Energy Ball
- Shadow Ball
- Reflect (filler) (inb4 Shinji recommends I put some crap move on just to get rid of this)
Ability: Synchronize
Special sweeper, etc

Houndour w/Zap Plate
Nature: Naughty/Lonely
- Flamethrower
- Thunder Fang
- Crunch
- Solarbeam
Ability: don't care
Mixed sweeper. TBH, I'm not sure putting Solarbeam on there was that much of a good idea but I couldn't think of anything better. Oh, and BTW Shinji, this is Little Battles, nothing learns Hyper Beam here anyway.

Krabby w/ Metronome
Nature: Adamant
- Crabhammer
- Brick Break
- Return
- X-Scissor
Ability: Hyper Cutter
Physical sweeper. Could possibly have a Choice Band instead of Metronome, but I've never really liked "Choice" items. (Update: Apparently it doesn't learn Waterfall)

Tangela w/ Big Root
Nature: Bold
- Giga Drain
- Sleep Powder
- Leech Seed
- Knock Off
Ability: don't care
hurr durr, you said "big root" *shot* </innuendo based on root being Australian slang for sexual intercourse> but anyway it's a physical wall, with a Big Root *stifled giggling* for extra healing. Fun fact: Tangela is tied with Misdreavus for the highest base stat total of allowed Pokemon in LBs, excluding of course the banned Scyther.

Mantyke w/ Oran Berry
Nature: Careful
- Bounce
- Aqua Ring
- Toxic
- Confuse Ray
Ability: Water Absorb
Special wall. Pretty standard procedure: use Toxic/Confuse Ray/Aqua Ring in some order, then Bounce to stall the opponent to their death.

Meditite w/ Focus Sash (because I couldn't think of anything better)
Nature: Jolly (Timid works too)
- Calm Mind
- Bulk Up
- Substitute
- Baton Pass
Ability: Pure Power, obviously
Baton Passer, blah blah blah

Reflect?  Why not Barrier or (even better) Counter?

As for the Houndour, I would go with Hyper Beam, Fire Blast, or Tri Attack.

Hyper Beam? Wow, you really have outdone my expectations of suggesting bad movesets. Does Houndour even learn Tri Attack? I don't think it does.
