Sceptile

Giga Drain is worthless on him. Snap on Leftovers if his health really matters to ya'. Replace it with Dragon Claw.

Earthquake is alright, but breeding to get Crunch is better.

Replace Brick Break with Thunderpunch. You can get it from a Move Tutor in Emerald.

Aggron

Delete Water Pulse, Ice Beam and Metal Claw. Earthquake and Rock Slide are good replacements, and....something like Rest or Roar would help.

I prefer Rhydon myself...

Medicham


Many options. Go for:

Endure/Reversal with two other moves.

Three Elemental Punches and Psychic (Alakazam does it WAY better)

Brick Break, Rock Slide and two fillers.

Manectric


::along comes Ground type:: gonk

Crunch, Roar, Thunderbolt and...I dunno. Charge is kind of worthless on something with a weakness to Earthquake (Earthquake is seen on like, everything x_x)

Altaria

Dragon Claw
Sunny Day
Fire Blast
Solarbeam

You get the picture.

Skarmory

Spikes
Roar/Whirlwind
Toxic
Aerial Ace/Some other physical attack.

Used on 50% of tournament teams. xP

If you're planning on tackling the Battle Frontier, I highly recommend hatching new pokemon with egg moves and the like. EV train them, and start out doing the Level 50 Battle Frontier.

I'll help you out with a new team later, if you'd like.

Hmm. A good team to use after the Elite Four...

That's a while away, but...yeah.

I'm not going to suggest any specific pokemon unless you'd want that. But a generic team outline for balance:

Mixed Sweeper
Blaziken can be used for this. It has balanced enough stats where its Fire and Fighting attacks both can shine.

Some other pokemon like Medicham make decent mixed sweepers too.

Physical Attacker
You have Fire Red or Leaf Green, right? Some of the best Physical attacks are over there.

Salamence and Metagross are both really good. Tyranitar and Dragonite too. Stuff like Rhydon is great, but they have pretty big weaknesses.

Special Attacker
Alakazam with all three Punches and Psychic is solid. A Water type that can use a bunch of other types works well too. Starmie, Slowbro and Octillery all have access to some pretty strange moves that make them good (though the latter two are slow).

Latios would work too.

Defense/Annoyer
Your opponent has a hard time killing these. On the Defense side, any opponent without a Special attack can generally be stopped with Steelix. Likewise, Snorlax puts a roadblock on Special Attackers. Shuckle does both.

Annoyers are stuff like Venusaur or Umbreon (who both work as pretty good tanks too). Leech seed, Toxic, Confuse Ray, Attract and other stuff.

Counters
By Counter I don't mean the attack.

As far as post-Elite Four goes, I'd recommend setting aside one pokemon to counter stuff that generally shuts teams down. One of the best counters in the game is Gengar.

Focus Punch beats Blissey, Steelix, Aggron, Snorlax and other stuff to that liking.
Thunderbolt beats Skarmory pretty well, and it helps against Milotic too.
From there you can add on Psychic to beat Weezing and stuff, Giga Drain to get back some health, or a variety of other moves.

Well, to just start out, don't have your pokemon learn more than one offensive move of the same type.

As I noted, your Manectric can't beat Ground types, and it would have major trouble with Grass and other Electric types too.

A Porygon2 with Conversion2 would be a huge problem too.

What should I change On mt Manectric?
Also I don't have FR/LG...So I have a problem...lol

Manectric really isn't that great a choice for Electric types...

I'd say:

Thunder
Rain Dance
Bite
Thunder Wave/Roar

If you want to keep the Manectric you have, try that moveset.

If you breed another one, you can replace Bite with Crunch.

Overall, most Electric types are kind of bad. Electabuzz and Jolteon are better, but you'll need FR/LG or Pokemon XD to get them.

If you own Pokemon Colosseum you could try out Ampharos.

Let's see here. A Milotic can beat Kyogre, Sceptile, Alakazam and Gengar if it's used properly. biggrin Not ALL of them, but it could definitely take out Kyogre. I'll let you figure out just how.

After Snorlax and Gengar are taken down a Blissey can walk all over it.

And Mewtwo can beat the whole team. xD But...Yeah.

Wobbufett just loves it too.

But see once when he is able to get to the Elite Four and the third person he battles would hev some water pokemon and his Manectric would be able to beat them

Glacia's Walrien knows Earthquake, and I doubt even Manectric could OHKO a Walrien.
