What pokemon team do you use? This would include pokemon for battle arcade, and battle castle if you play pokemon Platnum… but you could say other pokemon versions, too! And please say:
(level 50) or (Open level)

I use:

Level 50

[shadow=red,left]Lucario @ Fist plate[/shadow]

[shadow=red,left]Male[/shadow]

[shadow=red,left]Moves:[/shadow]
Sword dance
Aura sphere
Me First
Dragon pulse

[shadow=red,left]Nature:[/shadow]
Jolly

[shadow=red,left]Stats:[/shadow]
136/136 hp
126 Attack
92 Defence
124 Sp. Atk
81 Sp. Def
121 Speed
Considering you have a Jolly nature and probably don't want to bother breeding another one (if you do use Timid for this moveset), I'd swap out Aura Sphere for Close Combat and Dragon Pulse (which doesn't really benefit you in terms of type coverage anyway) for Earthquake.

[shadow=red,left]Spiritomb @ Razor Claw[/shadow]

Male

[shadow=red,left]Moves:[/shadow]
Dark Pulse
Swagger
Psychic
Memento
[shadow=red,left]Nature:[/shadow]
Careful

[shadow=red,left]Stats:[/shadow]
122 Hp
114 Attack
128 Defence
91 Sp. Atk
133 Sp. def
45 Speed (WOW!!!) Spiritomb has base 35 speed, not much to wow about
Psychic and Dark Pulse aren't really that useful coming from 91 Sp. Attack, I'd replace them with some combination of Shadow Sneak/Sucker Punch/Return, or better yet replace Swagger with Nasty Plot. Also consider Will-o-Wisp here, instead of Memento.

[shadow=red,left]Staraptor @ leftovers (when I find them  ;D )[/shadow]

Male

[shadow=red,left]Moves:[/shadow]
Endeavor
Close Combat
Brave Bird
Fly
[shadow=red,left]Nature:[/shadow]Lax

[shadow=red,left]Stats:[/shadow]
136 Attack
90 Defence
70 Sp. Atk
52 Sp. Def
127 Speed
I have a funny feeling that this is a HM slave which you don't actually use for battling :\ and if you do, get rid of Fly and replace it with Return or U-turn or something.


Tell me what you think! And remember to post your own to! [shadow=red,left](Mine suck)[/shadow]

I forgot to post my team here lol. I don't have Platinum due to it not being out here yet but here's what I use for Emerald:

Metagross @ Leftovers ** Mechagross
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 160 HP / 252 Atk / 96 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Earthquake
- Meteor Mash
- Rock Slide
Standard Agiligross albeit with Rock Slide instead of Explosion.

Latios (M) @ Lum Berry ** Dragoplane
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) (On my actual game it has a Sassy nature but that's just because at the time I caught it I didn't know about competitive battling and roaming legendaries are hard to SR for anyway)
- Psychic
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
Special sweeper. I'm thinking of replacing Surf with something else but I can't think of anything better.

Weezing (M) @ Quick Claw ** Asthmaball
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Haze
- Taunt
- Toxic
Handles those annoying Double Team spammers that seem to be common in the Battle Frontier. Also counters Heracross and Scizor entirely. Toxic is because I'm a noob and forgot to breed for Will-o-Wisp :\

First off, using a Weezing makes your team instant win.  It's that cool.

OK, now.  Agiligross, I hear good things generally.  Don't use it myself, personally, mine are all-out attackers.  Seems good to me.

Latios- From what I know about it, I think you have a good set there.  I generally refrain from using legendaries myself, but that's your choice.  Because of that, though, I'm not too clear on their usability in competitive battle.

Weezing- EXCELLENT.  Maybe give it Leftovers instead of Quick Claw, but otherwise very good.

Battle Frontier forces Item Clause. Quick Claw was the best thing I could think of at the time.

Item Clause? What's that?

Been using this for the Battle Hall lately:

Togekiss @ Focus Sash ** Mikuru
Timid
Hustle (not that it matters)
30HP/226SpA/252Spe
- Nasty Plot
- Hyper Beam
- Aura Sphere
- Shadow Ball
Probably the only reason to use Hyper Beam ever. Still gets beaten badly by that damned Weavile, though.
