I managed to defeat the E4, but not the champ, of Diamond with this team(twice, might I add):

Ramparados, now lv 46
Empoleon, now lv 50
Lucario, now lv 54
Staraptor, now lv 50
Luxray, now lv 49
Bronzong, now lv 48

I think I'm fairly good. Still haven't beaten the champ. I'm about to try again, switching Ramparados for whatever the dragon/steel legendary is.

The second time I went against the champ, I managed to defeat her Spiritomb, Lucario, and one other, which I forgot again. Got halfway.

Sidenote: I've slept since I did this.

Pretty low levels for facing Shirona. Nice.

Hey, no fair using Dialga! That's cheating!

My Championship party was

Torterra

Lucario

Buizel

Rapidash

Luxray

Starhawk


I'm currently retraining and reforming my team. I mean to make it this eventually:

Torterra

Lucario

Togekiss

Milotic

Rapidash

Luxray

Ramparados is useless against the E4, and Dialga is the only other pokemon that I have that's over level 40, excluding the ones listed above.

I've held off on this for a bit now, mainly cause I never had the game on hand, and it'll sound semi-braggish...

Empoleon - 47
Roserade - 47
Weavile - 48
Golem - 47
Staraptor - 47
Rapidash - 47

That is the first team I have in my Diamond game's Hall of Fame. I will admit to using a five or six metric tons of items just to survive the fights, as well as getting MANY lucky shots and dodges in.

Many many lucky dodges and shots.

You could always do some extra training...

I guess Rampardos isn't so good against the Shiten'no, though he works against Ryô, the first guy,
at least, because he uses Bugs.

Rampardos is also good against Orb (third, and fire member of the Shiten'no). However, he uses only 2 fire Pokémon in his party, so not much use - besides, you already have a water starter.

Let's examine at all the Shitennô Pokés that Rampardos is good versus.


Ryô / Aaron

Dustox - Yes
Heracross - No (fighting)
Vespiquen - Yes
Beautifly - Yes
Drapion - =

Kikuno / Bertha

Quagsire - No
Hippowdon - No
Sudowoodo - =
Whiscash - No
Golem - No

Orb / Flint

Rapidash - Yes
Infernape - No (fighting)
Steelix - No
Lopunny - Yes
Drifblim - Yes

Goyô / Lucian

Mr Mime - No (High defences)
Girafarig - =
Medicham - No
Alakazam - No (too fast)
Bronzong - No (steel)

Shirona / Cynthia

Spiritomb - =
Garchomp - No
Gastrodon - No
Milotic - No
Roserade - No
Lucario - No

That's 10 out of the 25 Shitennô Pokémon that Rampardos can fight against and do well against. That's plenty for a single party member.

26, actually (Cynthia/Shirona has 6 Pokémon), but that's just splitting hairs.

My first trip through the League used:
Rico (L55 Empoleon)
A'Tuin (L57 Torterra)
Xavier (L55 Espeon)
Infernape (L56)
Hodgesargh (L55 Staraptor)
Blind Io (L55 Luxray)

I came close on my first run at the League with this team, losing only to Cynthia. So I, annoyed, decided to level up my team by five--and I hate level grinding.

(Bonus points if you can figure out where I got my Pokémon's nicknames.)

Looking over things there... I wouldn't add Dialga in honestly. Having four pokemon that share at least one type like that doesn't sit well with me, even with as powerful as some of the combinations are.

Honestly, there isn't much I could offer myself with out knowing moves as well. I know what your weaknesses are, and what the supposed strengths are too, but I don't know what moves your pokemon know so I know what you lack and could use to help strike at things.

Guess I'll add "tool" to the list of things I can be qualified as, then. :rolleyes:

I don't recall Spacial Rend even being that much used by me, though.

Hey, I don't use ubers in my actual party. That was my "crappy party I assembled from bits and bobs to beat the game" party. I would never use ubers in PvP anymore

I just remembered when I battled you online Deadbeard, I killed two of your EV trained pokemon. =D Only my Lucario was EV trained, and still is the only pokemon I have who's EV trained.

If I'm remembering correctly.
