Ok so please tell me what you think of my team. I will be changing a lot of the attacks today (TM's & HM's) and of course I need to level them up until they're Level 100.

I'll tell you what i think when you change their moves since right now i see a lot of bad move choices. Is the team meant to be just for fun or are you trying to have serious battles with it?

I could take out 5 of 6 Pokemon with a Lapras that knows both Water and Ice moves.

Try to mix up the types of the Pokemon.

jd has a point. It would probably be smart to replace altaria with a lapras since it gives you more type coverage and altaria is kind of like an inferior dragonite.

No, I mean I could take out this party with a Lapras. Arcanine, Claydol, and Tyranitar are weak against water. Altaria and Dragonite are weak to ice.

At the time I was just experimenting with my team.

I think it's better now, I did end up putting Lapris on my team (Good thing I had one on Diamond!)

A decent fighting type will take out Blissey, Snorlax, and Lapras. Good variety now, but should be a little better.

I don't know that Camerupt was a good addition to the team but I took out blissey.

It's not all about strong moves.

True Drax, but having Pokemon with similar weaknesses isn't very smart.

Here are my move suggestions. If you want to try them out but don't have the tm's or whatever i can help you out with that if you have wifi.

For Garchomp i would say replace dig with earthquake, crunch with stone edge or fire fang,and dragon rush with swords dance so it can make better use of its attack and dragon rush isn't very accurate.

With lapras replace brine with surf because surf is stronger from the start, sheer cold with ice beam because sheer cold depends too much on luck, safeguard with thuderbolt to have the famous boltbeam(thunderbolt and ice beam)combination which hits most pokemon with at least neutral damage or psychic to try to somewhat combat lapras' weakness to fighting types.

With skuntank replace shadow claw with night slash since it will do more damage thanks to same type ability bonus.

With snorlax it would be smart to replace blizzard with ice punch and thunder with thunder punch to make better use of snorlax's superior attk stat plus the punches are more accurate.
You could also try replacing giga impact with return or body slam so that snorlax won't be vulnerable for a turn.

For camerupt i would replace eruption with fire blast,keep the earth power, earthquake should be removed since earth power is good enough due to camerupt's superior sp.atk. and fissure should be removed since it's not very reliable. Some moves that might be worth trying out are wil-o-wisp,rock polish, and maybe sunny day and solar beam.

For arcanine i suggest having thunder fang,fireblast,flamethrower,and extreme speed. giga impact is strong but it waste a turn.

Yeah but he might want to have one non offensive on at least one of his Pokemon replacing on of the three earthquakes.

Look up your teams pokemon on smogon and look at the move sets and strategys they have for that pokemon.
