Pokémon Team. Improvements?

[hasselhoff111]

Beat the the main story of Pokémon White about 2 days ago. My team is...
Samurott Lvl 61
Surf, Megahorn, Waterfall, Swords Dance
Chandelure Lvl 61
Shadow Ball, Will-o-Wisp, Flamethrower, Hex
Galvantula Lvl 61
Bug Buzz, Spider Web, Sucker Punch, Discharge
Braviary Lvl 60
Crush Claw, Fly, Sky Drop, Air Slash
Haxorus Lvl 61
Dragon Dance, Shadow Claw, Dragon Claw, Dragon Pulse
Conkeldurr Lvl 59
Strength, Stone Edge, Hammer Arm, Earthquake

Any ideas for improvement? I don't play online or anything that much, so I haven't bothered with EVs and such. Just looking for a balanced team for Elite Four, Cynthia and Morimoto.

Max out your starter. That's usually the best strat.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. But if you're serious, no, just no.

Your team reminds me why I don like the new games...

Anyways, if you just want a team to beat the Elite Four, just make a team of good type advantage.
One Pokemon that works best against each member and the champion, and one extra, maybe a second thats good against the champion or something. Best if you can get multiple ones and ones that have dual type advantage.

Or splurge on healing items. Im up to the Elite Four in Emerald, and since I am loaded with cash, I am more willing to use items. (normally I sell any item that isnt unique or evolves something)

It's the Elite Four. Steamrolling them with my starter has been a bread and butter since the first generation.

The only time I ever really had to think about EV's, items, moves and types was the Battle Tower/Frontier.

That doesn't mean it's a good idea. You look a bit ridiculous with a team of "Level 70 Blastoise, Level 30 Pidgeotto, Level 10 etc etc" God help you if your main get's knocked out.

Samurott doesn't really need 2 water moves. I'd recommend tossing waterfall for something like Aerial Ace.

Chandelure doesn't need hex when it has shadow ball, which means it also doesn't need will o wisp, I'd teach it pain split and maybe calm mind.

Galvantula is a special attacker so I'd lose the sucker punch for something like energy ball. Replace discharge with thunderbolt. I'd replace spider web too but there's not much else to choose from with his iffy movepool.

Braviary does -not- need 3 flying moves. He's a phys attacker, so lose the air slash, replace with roost. Replace sky drop with hone claws.

Haxorus is a phys attacker so lose dragon pulse. Brick break is a decent move to replace it with.

And Conkeldurr. I'd lose strength and teach it payback.

I look ridiculous to who? Professor Oak after he congratulated me on defeating his grandson?

Oh, and I picked Charmander, btw.

Better yet, make sure the Galvantula has Compound Eyes and give it Thunder as its electric move. 100% accuracy Thunder is very tasty.

Ahaha. I didn't even look at abilities. If you can get a 100 acc thunder, sure, definitely take that over thunderbolt.

Always try to keep yourself to one attacking move (of the same type), so that you can provide better coverage by adding moves that your predators are more likely to be weak against.

For example, my Excadrill that I used throughout the game learned these moves:

Earthquake
Massive Same-Type-Attack-Bonus, STAB damage in other words.
Swords Dance
To further enhance his physical attacks)
Rock Slide
To handle Ice-type Pokémon better, also works against Fire if I want to preserve PP)
Brick Break/Aerial Ace/Shadow Claw/Poison Jab
Just more coverage or attacks that can prove useful (Shadow Claw against Gengar who has Levitate, rendering my devastating Earthquake useless.)

Always remember to check your Pokémon's stats to see whether they'd do more damage using physical or special attacks.

Hope that helps, and do take Eri's advice as well.
