Well, that's it, could someone help me with Honchkrow's last move? I don't think Fly is a good idea. It's got 90 power, but I dunno.
I like a physical Honchkrow better. But if you wait for Platnium, Honchkrow can learn Air Cutter via tutor. A better mixed moveset might be...

Honchkrow @ Razor Claw/Scope Lens/Leftovers

something neutral

Night Slash/Super Luck/Razor Claw for critical hit abusiveness. It's attack is better than It's Sp. Attack, So I gave it Nasty Plot(but who wouldn't?). Aah, if only Honchkrow could learn Swords Dance... That would be murder. I wish it could learn Air Slash.
That would be awesome.

An all-Steel team would be totally manageable, and I'd be tempted to try it, if I happened to get 2 different Platinum games....

Thanks, Wichu, for some suggestions. Gyarados is the same, holds on by a thread against Electric-types and comes back with a damaging Earthquake. Roserade's Leaf Storm plus Meadow Plate plus high Special Attack equals a whole lot of pain. Sludge Bomb for STAB and Shadow Ball for Psychic-types. I decided to make Rhyperior a Choice Bander since Heatran has Choice Specs. I thought about replacing Megahorn with Payback, due to it's low speed, but Megahorn is stronger and is super-effective against more types than Payback. If there are more Gengars out there I might change my mind.
Porygon-Z can boost it's already incredible Special Attack, if it lasts long enough, with Nasty Plot and has Ice Beam and Thunderbolt. Gallade's attacks covers all the types for at least normal damage. Swords Dance is a good plus, too. I discovered that Heatran can learn Dark Pulse and I decided to have him learn that. Hidden Power is always iffy, so I never deal with that. A moveset guide on GameFAQs and the Marriland Pokedex helped me out with some choices. I have some other ideas for other Pokemon, but I think I'm going to keep those close ;).

May I make a suggestion?
As a sweeper, you don't need Synthesis; it hinders more than it helps. I wouldn't use Leaf Storm
except as a last resort, because you'll have to switch afterwards. As I have heard, there are much better items than those of specific types. Heat Rock allows Sunny Day to last much longer in this simple combo. Also, Heatran benfits from Sunny Day as well. All your other pokemon are good though.. These are all suggestions though. Heed them as you wish.;)
I thank you, my friend. Synthesis was really a filler at best. I thought about replacing Leaf Storm with Energy Ball, but I was amazed about Leaf Storm's shear power. I would make Roserade a Choice Specs user, but Heatran already has that. This team is not concrete yet, so some things like moves and items are still in the air.
My team from DP (Maybe could make some changes to add Giratina/Shaymin alt forms to it). I EV trained them, but I can't remember right now the stats that I trained >.>:
Infernape
Ability: Blaze (What else? :P)
Nature: Naive
Item: Life Orb
Moves: Flamethrower, Close Combat, Nasty Plot, Hidden Power (ICE)
Azumarill (Shiny!!! It was a pain to got it but I love it from Emerald ^-^)
Ability: Huge Power
Nature: Quirky
Item: Choice Band
Moves: Waterfall, Body Slam, Focus Punch, Ice Punch
Electivire (To hook from the Electric attacks throw at Azumarill)
Ability: Motor Drive
Nature: Adamant
Item: Expert Belt
Moves: Thunderpunch, Ice Punch, Cross Chop, Earthquake.
Garchomp
Ability: Sand Veil
Nature: Jolly
Item: Life orb
Moves: Sword Dance, Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Fire Fang.
Hippowdon
Ability: Sand Stream
Nature: impish
Item: Leftovers
Moves: Earthquake, Ice Fang, Stealth Rock, Slack Off.
Wobbuffet
Ability: Shadow Tag
Nature: Bold
Item: Leftovers
Moves: Counter, Mirror Coat, Encore, Charm (The obvious ones)
Sometimes I change Garchomp and Hippowdon for Empoleon and Gliscor so I have two walls (And Empoleon is also a Stealth Rock-user and a Special Sweeper too, and Gliscor can use Taunt). Also in just for fun-battles I use Drifblim (Baton-Pass high HP Substitutes when I put to sleep opponents), Gallade (Physical attacker with Thunder Wave to overcome his low speed) and Pikachu with a Light Ball (Quite funny to use, obviously it has Volt Tackle and Substitutes to protect its fragile body).
I started to train a Croagunk and a Skorupi so suggestions for both of its evo-forms would be appreciated :D
