lets get it on!

[tofu]

come on you guys gotta be tired of ratin the same teams full of 00ber and other legendaries.

[Vega]

yea we are, but thats all there is these days:

Glalie: has only one attacking move, and its an ice type move, some common types are resistant to this so you might want to give it a little variety.

Chimecho: is the second best beller in rs after Vileplume, go Yawn

Exploud: why does he have Hyper Voice when Return is soooo much better?? and wtf are you talkin about? Exploud has a great movepool

Torkoal: Heat Wave over Flamethrower

Hariyama: you are my new best friend, i hate Machamp!!

Golduck: i'd really like to ask Nintendo why they gave Golduck clam mind, i mean, its a duck!

[tofu]

ok i need more thoughts on the team
i'm considering toxic/hail/eq over ice beam on the ice ball

[Gligar_Man]

lol, id put earthquake on glalie... (i forget if he learns it but im sure he does...) because some starters that wont do good againt you (blaziken will kill you) but in case skarm switches or whatever there gonna switch to something resistant to ice beam and earthquake will come in handy, also for fires on the switch and you can ohko some torkoals... and lol on your screw you machamp thing

[Shuckle]

Glalie: Ok... but will it last long enough to make good use of double team?

Chimecho: Yawn for sure - he wont last long enough to use calm mind IMHO.

Exploud: Hyper Voice is his signature move - if your taking it to a tournament then go ahead replace it otherwise it's pretty boring if you remove it for return IMHO. Anyway good move set although i can't remember what extrasensory does. :(

Torkoal: Good, i mean you *could* consider 'amnesia' but what ever...

Hariyama: Seen this set before... Good...

Golduck: If you choose when to use rest well then fair enough.

yes i know he won't last but considering 85% of players don't consider that their starter is male(blaziken), this could really hurt their plans. this is how a battle i had played out...
glalie attract
blaze in love no attack
glalie spike
blaze in love no attack
glalie double team
blaze miss
player switch, hurt by spikes
glalie double team....

Chimecho: Yawn for sure - he wont last long enough to use calm mind IMHO.
yea it seems that once you yawn they switch

Exploud: Hyper Voice is his signature move - if your taking it to a tournament then go ahead replace it otherwise it's pretty boring if you remove it for return IMHO. Anyway good move set although i can't remember what extrasensory does. :(

Torkoal: Good, i mean you *could* consider 'amnesia' but what ever...
i did at one point but seeing as how torkoal is slower than almost everything, he would be better off crushing a poke on the switch

Hariyama: Seen this set before... Good...
really?... damn...oh well i stick by my "screw you machamp" chant

Golduck: If you choose when to use rest well then fair enough.

Oh come on. You know that unless this is for 2v2, flamethrower is better. It's only slightly less powerful, but more accurate and more PP.

[Jim Fuse]

on explode use:
return
overheat
rest
sleeptalk


and i'd go with yawn on chimra guy or whatever his name is - it'll allow you to get do the stuff you need to do with his moves

[tofu]

ok kiddies, here is the final movesets, eveything seems to work out fine, i haven't spotted any big weaknesses and picked up 2 wins so far.

i just transfered my communist qwilfish set over to the iceball(minus minimize). he's not gonna be taking down any slakings, but i want to influence my enemy to switch. trust me, it works.

considering his slowness, amnesia is not really helping. i'd rather crush your poke when you switch.
