hello, my team for pokemon diamond I have not yet put together for competetive battling, but here is the idea of it:
pokemon 1:
porygon z(the pokes all levl. 100)
modest nature, possibly shiny
item: quick claw
purpose: special sweeper; KO's quickly, and quick claw helps get the first strike
abilty: download
moves: tri attack, pyschic, nasty plot, zap cannon
pokemon 2:
milotic(of course)
quiet nature
item: leftovers
purpose: it is so annoying to kill, it's a sp. tank/wall.
moves: mirror coat, recover, surf, toxic
pokemon three:
lucario
jolly nature(or timid, any speed nature)
item: Idont know, help please
purpose: phys. attacker
drain punch, other, other, other(help)
pokemon 4:
togekiss
modest nature
item: again, i don't think of stuff like that.
purpose: para-flincher(sp. attacker)
moves: airslash(flinch) thunderwave, roost, aura sphere
pokemon 5:
Roserade
timid nature
item: I don't know
purpose: quick hitter. If my pokemon is killed and the other pok. has like 30 hp left, I'll send it roserade to finish it quickly
moves: magical leaf, hidden power(ice, inc. lucky, first try!) toxic spikes, double team(for switch outs)
pokemon six:
rapidashjolly nature
item: i dno't know
purpose: both sp. and phys. attacker
moves: flare blaze, flamethrower, (ONE FIRE ATTACK PER PHYS AND SP.) fighting move, something else.
so, how's my poke team for competetive battling?
Porygon-Z:
Iffy moveset. I'd go with Nasty Plot, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Psychic. Thunderbolt isn't as strong as Zap Cannon, but its much more accurate. Ice Beam is just a better move than Tri Attack.
Milotic:
It looks good. My only suggestion is that you may want to replace Recover with Aqua Ring. You could or couldn't.
Lucario:
I'd change Lucario to a Special Sweeper. For an item, you may want to go with a Scope Lens. For moves, I'd say Aura Sphere, Psychic, Dragon Pulse, and Dark Pulse. That's at least what mine is.
Togekiss:
I'm not really sure here. For an item, you could go with a Focus Sash or something. I'm also unsure of what the moveset should be. Possibly Flamethrower, Air Slash, Roost, and Nasty Plot. No idea there.
Roserade:
If you're using it just to make the weak Pokemon faint, I'd give it a Focus Sash. I think that for this purpose, you're best off using some annoying moves like Double Team, Toxic Spikes, Synthesis, and Energy Ball or your choice of Grass-type move.
Rapidash:
I would let Rapidash hold a Flame Plate. The moves should be Flamethrower, Overheat, Flare Blitz, and Will-O-Wisp.
Overall: Your team is getting there. I'd say 6/10. I hope I helped!
Just to let you know Double team or any other accuracy/evasion increasing/decreasing moves are not allowed. its called the Evasion Clause
pokemon 1:

item: quick claw
purpose: special sweeper; KO's quickly, and quick claw helps get the first strike
abilty: download
/adaptability
moves: tri attack, pyschic, nasty plot,
thunder bolt
pokemon 2:
milotic(of course)
quiet nature
item: leftovers
/flame orb
ability:
marvel scale
purpose: it is so annoying to kill, it's a sp. tank/wall.
moves:
hypnosis, recover, surf,
ice beam
pokemon three:

pokemon 4:
togekiss
modest nature
item:
wise glasses...maybe...i'm unsure
ability:
serene grace
purpose: para-flincher(sp. attacker)
moves: airslash(flinch) thunderwave, roost, aura sphere
i've never seen this togekiss used before...give it a shot and see how it works out
pokemon 5:
Roserade
timid nature
item:
focus sash
ability:
natural cure
purpose: quick hitter. If my pokemon is killed and the other pok. has like 30 hp left, I'll send it roserade to finish it quickly
moves: magical leaf, hidden power(ice, inc. lucky, first try!) toxic spikes,
double team(for switch outs)
extrasensory
if you are going to use toxic spikes you need to have roserade out either first or second for enough of the opponents pokes to be affected and if you plan on battling competitive you should get rid of double team
pokemon six:
rapidash
jolly nature
item:
kings rock
ability:
flash fire
purpose:
phys. attacker
moves: flare blaze,
mega horn, giga impact, iron tail
changes in bold...if you have any questions ask

IMO as far as mindset maven's rate (very good but 2 changes) put life orb/nuscle band on rapidash and kings rock on togekiss. just My opinion though.
why don;t you teach the rapidash poisonjab. 80 power and 30 percent chance 0f poisoning the foe. I also think that your'e taking way too big of a chance with megahorn.

moves: tri attack, Dark Pulse, nasty plot, Ice Beam
Nasty Plot, then sweep. Quick claw is bad, most don't allow it and Pory has enough speed if you invest som Speed EVs
pokemon 2:
milotic(of course)
Bold nature
item: leftovers
purpose: Bulky Water
moves: Ice Beam, recover, surf, Hypnosis
pokemon three:
lucario
Adamant Nature

Close Combat, ExtremeSpeed, Swords Dance, Stone Edge/Bullet Punch

togekiss
modest nature
item: Choice Specs
purpose: Special Sweeper
moves: airslash, Flamethrower, Aura Sphere, Tri Attack

Don't do Roserade xD
pokemon six:
rapidash
jolly nature
item: Wide Lens
purpose: Statuser
moves: Will O Wisp, Hypnosis, Megahorn, Flare Blitz
so, how's my poke team for competetive battling?
Comments in bold.
I wouldn't recommend using the team though, the structure isn't too good. Lol, you need more walls. Instead of Roserade, I recommend Bronzong.
okay, bronzong is....kinda....strange. I just don't like them! I know I need more walls, I just don't really like the idea of bastiodon(WHY DID NINTENDO GIVE THE BEST DEFENCES IN THE WORLD(YOU HEARD ME SHUCKLE!) TO SOMETHING WEAK TO PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING!?
I like the help and stuff. I know from expierience that the togekiss works

. It paralyzes, making anything slower than it(stupid aerodactlyl) then comes the terrible trap. Air slash has a 30 percent flinch. With cerene grace, it becomes 60%. so, there is a 25 percent chance that the pokemon is paralyzed, and a 60% chance the pokemon flinches. not very good for the other pokemon, eh? Cept for lucario with inner focus, this strategy really works wonders . Tied in with togekiss's great special attack, you have one MEAN SPECIAL SWEEPER! Plus, if you are hit on the first turn when setting up with paralyze, roost the second turn. If opponent hits again, roost until pokemon is para so it can't move. Restore full health, then Air slash for the kill. Plus, it also has aura sphere for lucario, or a rock/steel/ice. Edit: uhh, could you please list other walls for me?
Actually, shuckle makes a decent status inflicter.with those defences but low hp he's almost like dusknoir.I think he only has three weaknesses:water,steel,rock.
