Dialga the Temporal Pokemon
It has the power to control time. It appears in Shinnoh-region Myths as an ancient deity. A Pokemon spoken of in legend. It is said time began moving when Dialga was born.
Mixed Attacking-Life Orb/Expert Belt-Quite/Mild Nature
Draco Meteor
Thunder
Fire Blast/Earth Power
Brick Break/Outrage
This moveset lets Dialga smash though walls. Giratina is KOed by Draco Meteor. Thunder takes care of Lugias and Kyogers. Fire Blast and Earth Power are good for Metagross, but the latter is better against other Dialgas. Blissey is destroyed by Brick Break, but Outrage get a super effective hit on Latias.
Expert Belt is preferred because this set is super effective against lots of Ubers.
Bulk Up-Leftovers/Adamant Orb-Careful Nature
Bulk Up
Outrage
Rest
Sleep-Talk/Earthquake
This moveset lets you take advantage of Dialga's awesome typing, decent Defense, and Attack. After a couple of Bulk Ups you can take hits with no problem, and Outrage becomes extremely powerful. Rest-Talk is also extremely effective in staying alive. On the other hand, Earthquake is nice to take out Metagoss, Dialga and Heatran.
Magnet Rise-Modest/Timid Nature-Adamant Orb/Life Orb
Magnet Rise
Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse
Aura Sphere
Thunder
With Magnet Rise Dialga's only weakness is Fighting. Leaving its Ground weakness behind, floating Dialga can sweep. Draco Meteor causes you to switch often, so I suggest Dragon Pulse over it. Aura Sphere 2HKOs most Steels who switch in on you. Thunder is good in rain and takes out Kyoger and Lugia.
Special Choice-Modest/Timid Nature-Choice Specs/Scarf
Draco Meteor
Aura Sphere
Dragon Pulse
Thunder/Overheat
Draco Meteor with Specs will KO almost everything not Steel or Blissey. Aura Sphere conveniently takes care of Steels. Dragon Pulse is a reliable STAB that doesn't lower your stats. Thunder or Overheat can be used with either Kyoger or Groudon.
Physical Choice-Jolly/Adamant Nature-Choice Band/Scarf
Outrage
Earthquake
Overheat
Shadow Claw/Stone Edge
Outrage is a very powerful attack. This has the ability to one Hit KO Groudon and Palkia. Earthquake compliments it nicely KOing Heatran and other Steels. For the Steels that have left the ground, Overheat KOs them. Shadow Claw is a KO on the many Psychics in the Uber battling system. Stone Edge on the other hand, has a better chance to 2HKO Lugia, KOs Ho-oh, and hits Rayquaza harder.
Support-Modest Nature-Leftovers/Lum Berry
Thunder Wave/Toxic
Stealth Rock
Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse
Flame Thrower/Thunder/Roar
This moveset takes advantage of Dialga's great defenses and typing. Thunder Wave lets you cripple all but two of the Ubers, and Toxic lets you hurt them all. Stealth Rock lets you support all of you teammates. The two Dragon moves are for either power or reliability. Flame Thrower lets you kill steels that switch in. Thunder also hits steels hard and Roar is for scouting purposes.

Palkia Movesets
Palkia the Spatial Pokemon
It has the ability to distort space. It is described as a deity in Sinnoh-Region Mythology. It is said to live in the gap in the spatial dimension that is parallel to ours. It appears in Mythology
Special Attacker-Lustrous Orb/Life Orb-Timid/Hasty Nature
Surf
Spatial Rend
Aqua Tail/Outrage
Thunder
With Kyoger's rain Palkia is a beast. Surf and Spatial Rend will KO or 2HKO most Pokemon. Blissey would be a problem if not for Aqua Tail and Outrage. Aqua Tail is the safer option because you get locked in to Outrage. Thunder also destroys opposing Kyogers.
Choice Special-Choice Scarf/Specs-Timid/Hasty Nature
Spatial Rend
Surf
Thunder
Draco Meteor/Fire Blast/Outrage
Spatial Rend and Surf can 2HKO most Pokemon with Specs. With Scarf it can also outrun Scarf Kyoger and Dialga as well as 1 Dragon Dance Rayquaza. Draco Meteor is good for Scarf Set because it KOs Giritina. Fire Blast helps, if Groudon comes in to ruin your fun you can kill him and then hit Pokemon with Fire Blast. Outrage is also helpful in 2HKOing Blissey with Stealth Rock.
Choice-Choice Band/Scarf-Jolly Nature
Outrage
Earthquake
Aqua Tail
Stone Edge/Dragon Claw
Aqua Tail and Outrage compliment themselves nicely. Anything that resists Outrage is hit hard by Aqua Tail. Lugia is the only one not two hit KO'd by this, that is without the rain. Without rain Stone Edge 2HKOs Lugia, and Earthquake destroys Steels. Dragon Claw is a secondary Dragon move that doesn't lock you in to it.
Sub Punch-Expert Belt/Life Orb-Hasty Nature
Substitute
Focus Punch
Thunder
Spacial Rend
With Substitute, Palkia can avoid Status and KO Blissey. Thunder lets you kill Kyoger who will probably switch in. And Spacial Rend gives you the ability to KO Dragons
Weather Abuser-Life Orb-Timid/Hasty Nature
Spacial Rend
Surf
Fire Blast
Outrage
This moveset takes advantage of all those Groudons and Kyogers. Spacial Rend is a powerful STAB, Surf is for rain and Fire Blast is for sun. Outrage takes out Blissey but locks you on to it. Thunder is another option but becomes obsolete in the sun.
Another move you can use with Palkia is Dive. With Pressure it can help drain PP and scout your opponent's moves. This can be used in a Rest-Talk set along side Spacial Rend.

Trick Room
Trick Room is a move where the slowest Pokemon goes first for 5 turns. This can totally mess up some people's strategies. Slower Pokemon like Swampert, Bronzong, Tyranitar, Scizor, Rhyperior, Snorlax, Magnezone, Machamp, Hippowdon, Blissey and others will speed ahead of other fast sweepers like Salamence. A good Sandstorm/Trick Room team is Bronzong, Tyranitar, Rhyperior, Magnezone, Scizor, and ether Hippowdon or Swampert. Marowak also can be a beast in trick room with its attack. But bewarem, this only lasts 5 turns so keep you Trick Roomer alive.
Most psychics can learn this move.

Torterra Analysis
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/evo/389.png
Torterra-the Continent Pokemon
Small Pokemon occasionally gather on it unmoving back to begin building their nest. Groups of this Pokemon migrating in search of water have been mistaken for moving forests.
To start my Pokemon coverage, I'm going with the grass starter Torterra.
Move pools
Leech seed-Impish nature
Earthquake
Wood Hammer
Leech Seed
Stealth Rock/Protect
This moveset is mostly defensive. Leech Seed will give Torterra extra health while taking it from its opponent. Stealth Rock is good for supporting teammates but Protect is good for scouting moves. Earthquake and Wood Hammer deliver decent damage to the opposing Pokemon as well.
Sword Dance-Adamant nature
Sword Dance
Wood Hammer
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Despite being a more defensive Pokemon, Sword Dance can wreak havoc. Earthquake and Stone Edge have excellent type coverage, and Wood Hammer is another reliable STAB (same type attack boost) move.
Curse-Adamant nature-Leftovers
Curse
Wood Hammer
Earthquake
Stone Edge
This one is similar to the Sword Dance set but helps it take more hits. If your worried about going last, Torterra rarely goes first anyway. This set works well in a Trick Room team.
Choice Band-Adamant nature-choice band
Earthquake
Wood Hammer
Stone Edge
Crunch/Superpower
With his great type coverage it's hard to switch without receiving a decent amount of damage. Superpower is good for Skarmory and Bronzong but crunch is better against Celebi and Exeggutor.
Rock Polish-Adamant nature-leftovers
Rock Polish
Earthquake
Wood Hammer
Stone Edge
Rock Polish lets you out speed and destroy most threats you will encounter.
Substitute Leech Seed-Impish nature-Leftovers
Leech Seed
Substitute
Earthquake
Wood Hammer/Stone Edge/Toxic
"SubSeed" has got to be one of the most annoying things around. While getting HP from Leech Seed and Leftovers the 1/4 Hp cut from Substitute isn't much of a problem. Substitute also protects you from status problems. And if Leech Seed isn't enough, Toxic steals more of your HP. Stone Edge gives you better type coverage then Wood Hammer, but the latter is more powerful and gets STAB.

Trading
Trading on wi-fi is very useful. One way I have found to get all most anything is Feebas. This little guy is almost impossible to get but goes like hot cakes! The best way to catch it is to go in a zig-zag pattern covering the whole area that Feebas can be. You should probably fish 5-8 times in each space to have a better chance of success. In the 4th generation, Feebas is on the top of Mount Coronet.
First Post
This is the first post of this blog, mostly just to have a post. On this blog I'll post suggestions for catching legendary pokemon, competitive batting information and other things.
