Well, let's see here...

Blaziken - I see your really going for Critical Hits here, but frankly I've used Focus energer MANY times and it's gotten me a critical hit maybe twice. I'd say replace Focus Energy with Bulk Up. Also, I'd recomned losing Slash for a fighting move (Brick Break, Sky Uppercut, whatever) for a physical STAB...plus fighting's good vs. 5 types. If you want to keep that higher critical hit chance, keep the Scope Lens, and with Blaze Kick you could still score a good number of them. HOWEVER, if this Blazikens Critical hit rate with this movest has been satisfactory or better for you, then don't feel the need to change the moveset (though I may still recommend a Fighting move over Slash)

Alakazam - No problems here. looks very nice.

Pinsir - replace Hyper Beam with Flail or Reversal (not sure if Pinsir can learn revearsal, but if it can, choose that). If you'd like, you could also place Endure on it and pull the Endure/Salac/Flail combo, but you don't really need to. I don't have much experience with Pinsir, so you could probably ignore me on this one if you prefer.

Electabuzz - the only thing I think that could make this better would be HP: Water (with Rain Dance), but I know HP can't have its type changes, plus Ice is by no means a bad type (and combined with Thunder you've got an unusual spin on bolt-beaming). Looks good as is.

Dragonite - Looks very nice. My only concern might be Iron Tail's accuracy. Past that, no problems.

Lanturn - Paratractfusion. Very annoying. No need to change this one.


Again, ignore me on any suggestions you don't like (I do that to fixes on this board all the time ;) ) but I hope I've been able to help at least a little.

Blaziken- Fine if you're going for Critiken.

Alakazam- Personally I always use Fire and Ice Punches, but that's completely up to you.

Pinsir- Don't go Hyper Beam, The only Pokemon I ever use Hyper Beam on is Slaking. I recommend Brick Break over HB.

Electabuzz- HP: Ice allows for max Speed IV so I would stick with that even though HP: Water would get a Rain Dance boost.

Dragonite- Just fine

Lanturn- Since I'm the one who gave you the idea for this set to start with...I'm not gonna change it :)

Wow, I havn't been around here in a qhile. I don't even see any names I recognize anymore.

Dragonites Iron Tail could be Swapped with Dragon Claw. In my Opinion.

Actually Iron Tail is much better for this. After a DD it will do more than a STABed DC
