Answer 1

• Gyarados is good as is. However you can replace Ice Fang with Taunt as it prevents Pokémon from setting up Spikes, Hypnosis, Swords Dance, Spore, Thunder Wave, Pain Split, etc. 9/10

• Blissey is perfect for a Boltbeamer. 10/10

• Empoleon has lower physical attack than special. Because of this, Drill Peck and Earthquake don't do that much damage at all. Especially when your Empoleon's nature lowers attack even more. You can give it Stealth Rock instead of Drill Peck. Stealth Rock hurts the opponent when your Torterra's Leech Seed forces switches. Additionally, you can replace Earthquake with Grass Knot, Roar, or Sleep Talk. Sleep Talk scores a surprise attack when your Empoleon absorbs sleep. Roar just goes along with Stealth Rock as it forces switches. Grass Knot hits opposing water types, which you can't hit with Surf + Ice Beam. 7/10

• Flamethrower might be better for Infernape. The reason is that you don't lose HP so often and it also guarantees a OHKO on Skarmory, Forretress, some Bronzong, etc. Other than that, everything else is fine. 9/10

• Torterra can have Rock Slide or Stone Edge (if it can learn it). Flying types tend to switch in on it, so either Rock Slide or Stone Edge can hit them hard. 8/10

• Staraptor can be replaced with Lucario. Lucario has access to Swords Dance + Extremespeed, so thats good. I, personally, have a Lucario with Bullet Punch, and for me it works perfect. The reason is that it can hit Aerodactyl, Gengar, Froslass, etc. But, you can keep Aura Sphere since you might kill those weak physical walls. 10/10

Overall, your team's current score is 8.8/10. Consider the suggestions above if you really feel that you need to. (-:

Answer 2

Try getting a cranidos and evolve it into a rampardos (you get cranidos by reviving the skull fossil found underground) . It might  take awhile to evolve because it evolves at level 30 but its worth the effort. The moves I would recommend would be Endeavor at level 30, Zen Headbutt at level 36, the TM 25:Thunder, and the TM 38:Fire Blast. You should also teach Torterra  leaf storm. My Rampardos came in handy when beating the elite 4, and especially the move endeavor when I was beating Cynthia. I hope this helped!
