Hmm... technically these have better use with dragon dance and attacks I believe... try something like:
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Brick Break
Rest

with a berry to wake it. Basically it dragon dances then rests, immediately wakes up then can sweep with attacks... being now fast and highly powered. I *think* that's a standard...

Ah Machamp... I know it almost always gets rock slide, or used to... can still be bred to I think... one momento... yup, through spinda which also gets it through breeding.

So maybe: Cross Chop, Rock Slide, Fire Blast (I've seen it I think... good for some circumstances I suppose...), and another move. Maybe earthquake or something...

Admitedly Machamp isn't a pokemon I know much about anymore

Ah! This I know.

Will-o-wisp, fire blast, confuse ray, protect. Or if you wanted special attacking and you wanna take time to max its special attack... maybe something like flamethrower, faint attack, confuse ray, will-o-wisp *might* work sometimes... it isn't exactly majourly good with special attacks or physical... and without a move like swords dance... I guess that's why it tends to be used on the defensive... works well anyways

Megahorn definitely... earthquake too (I am about 80% sure it can learn it). brick break is nice... counter could work, yeah... it does have a major weakness to flying so that would help if it can survive a hit from aerial ace or whatever...

I'd say either megahorn, earthquake, endure, reversal or megahorn, earthquake, counter, brick break. But then I'm not entirely sure about this one... I think it sometimes gets rest but I'm unsure.

Ah tentacruel... I love this thing. Surf, yup... Ice beam definitely. Mirror coat would be useful. I'd finish with sludge bomb. I love sludge bomb

Ah tropius... the flying bannana tree. Well... I suppose sunny day movesets work alright with this... like sunny day, solar beam, stomp/headbutt (it's faster under sunny day so the flinch thing has a better chance of working... or so I remember somebody saying...), synthesis.

Or perhaps go with giga drain, body slam, leech seed (breeding), whirlwind.

It's a thought anyways... I don't *think* it can learn aerial ace or I'd have suggested that perhaps. Maybe check it out in game hmm?

Hope that helps. I'm not exactly fantastic as this mind... oh and one last thing before I forget... 3X weakness to flying here... that's not good. Wanna watch how many of your pokemon have the same weaknesses. Same thing with psychic... 3X...

Anywho like I said, hope that helps. Later days

[Vex 47]

Thank you for your help. Anyone else?

[pokeguy76]

Salamance: I would get rid of dragon claw for something more like flamethrower or something that has fire in it

Machamp: Dynamic punch does inflict good damage and confuses, but it doesn't hit very often. I would go for Brick Break.

Ninetailes: No comments

Heracross: No comments

Tentacruel is part poison so it would be wise to expect psychic attacks. Something that could really touch psychic types to replace Waterfall.

Tropius: Since tropius doubles its speed in sunshine, Solarbeam would be very usefull instead of cut, and if you worry about the fire types, then just switch to Tentacruel or Salamance.

Still a very good team!

Thankees! Anyone else?
