Can someone help me with my Pokemon Pearl Team?

Question

I'm just about to go off to the Elite Four, and was wondering if there were any improvements I could make to my team. I can't battle over the Wi-Fi, but I would like to battle my friends in RL and so, would like my team to be up to a good par. (I will be training them up to atleast level 55 before tackling the Elite 4, by the way.)

Also, do I need to change any items?

Here is what I have so far:

Infernape - Metronome.

Sassy nature.

Moves: Close Combat, Flame Wheel, Flamethrower, Mach Punch.

Jolteon -Magnet.

Calm nature.

Moves: Thunder, Thunder Fang, Thunderbolt, Shock wave.

Vaporeon - Mystic Water.

Naive nature.

Moves: Brine, Surf, Ice Beam, Blizzard.

Roselia -Rose Incense.

Serious nature.

Moves: Magical Leaf, Toxic, Petal dance, Gigadrain.

Misdreavus -Spell tag.

Modest nature

Moves: Shadow Ball, Psychic, Perish Song, Psybeam.

Lucario - Fist plate.

Hasty nature

Moves: Quick attack, Reversal, Force Palm, Counter.

Thanks in advance. <3

Answer 1

Train them to level 70+. that easily beat the elite four and chapion!

Answer 2

55 is good enough

since you have a vaporeon with ice beam garchomp will go down in one hit

your team looks alright except for lucario

teach it flash cannon, focus blast, and psychic

Answer 3

Okay, don&#039;t listen to all those people who tell you to train them to level sixty and seventy.  They don&#039;t know what they&#039;re talking about.  If you&#039;re a good player, all you&#039;ll need is Pokemon in the late forties and early-mid fifties, so level 55 is good.

Almost anything will work in-game.  I&#039;m sorry, but...your attacks suck.  You don&#039;t need more than one of the same typed attack on a Pokemon, so having four Electric moves on your Jolteon is pretty useless.  But like I said, almost anything will work in-game.  I suggest making a topic on the Pokemon Pearl boards at Gamefaqs.com.  There will be more people to help there.  Yahoo! Answers is the wrong place to ask.

Answer 4

You have to raise them past Lv. 60. Cynthia&#039;s Garchomp is at Lv. 66. She is the champion.

Answer 5

Infernape is a great pokemon and you&#039;ve got some nice moves on it, but you should do a few modifications on it. Close Combat and Flamethrower can stay, but i&#039;ll recomend you to get rid of Flame Wheel and Mach Punch for Sunny Day and Solarbeam. ALLWAYS start out with sunny day, because  it will boost up your fire attacks and Solarbeam won&#039;t be needing charging when you are about to use it. Sunny day will also lower electric type moves accuracy (it will really help your vaporen, but not so mouch your Jolteon, so don&#039;t use your Jolteon when it&#039;s sunny.)

If you decide to teach infernape these moves, I woul&#039;d recomend that you use a Heat Rock as a held item instead of Metronome, because Sunny Day will last longer.

Since your Jolteon&#039;s got calm nature, it&#039;s attack stat is lower than usual, so you should get rid of thunder fang for something else. You should also get rid of Thunder because it&#039;s got low accuracy, and lets face it, there&#039;s no need for 4 similar attacks at the same time, 3 the top, but then one have to be a status move. Thunderbolt and Shock Wave should stay and teach it Rest and Shadow ball so you can take on other kind&#039;s of pokemon too, and not just water and flying.

Vaporeon is a great pokemon and you&#039;ve got some nice move on it, but get rid of Brine and Blizzard, and switch those out with Aqua Ring and maby Dig so you can atleast take care of the Electric types.

Why haven&#039;t you evolved your Roselia? Get a shiny stone and do something about it, or it will get killed in the league.

Giga Drain is good, so is Petal Dance and Toxic too. But you really don&#039;t need Magical Leaf since you&#039;ve got Petal Dance. Teach it Sludge Bomb or Poison Jab instead, dependig on witch stat it&#039;s the best, sp.attack or regular attack.

And again, why haven&#039;t you evolved your pokemon? Misdreavus would be so better if it was a Mismagius allready, get yourself a Dusk stone too hon. I like that you have Perish Song, noone can see the beauty of it. What it Cyntia had one pokemon left, and you had Misdreaus with Perish song and a lot of revievs, who would win? YOU offcourse. All great moves except for psywave, witch you should get rid of in the favour of Mean Look, now your opponent can&#039;t run away from the Perish Song, but you can! Mowhahahaha.

But your Lucario needs A LOT of work. Get rid of all those attacks and teach it Dragon Pulse, Close Combat/Aura Sphere depending on witch stat is the better, attack or sp.attack. Psychich to take care of fighting types, and maby Rock Slide or Rock Tomb to take care of that darn fire type pokemon.

All you have to do is raise your pokemon to lv. 55 (all mine was 53 when I started the elite four, and I won) But bring a lot of potions, full heals, revies and full restores.
