This is the team I'm planning on using for Diamond/Pearl. Is there a big Ice weakness? Didn't know how to fix that. ><

So far, I only have four members and don't know what to put in.

Erureido #475

@ Leftovers
Adamnant Nature
Evs: 6 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd
-Leaf Blade
-Physcho Cutter
-Ice Punch
-Focus Punch

Leaf Blade gets rid of Ground/Rock/Water. Physho is STAB. Ice Punch gets rid of Flying types. Focus Punch for predicted switches and STAB. Good starter?

Dianozu #476
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/476.shtml
@ Leftovers
Bold Nature?
Evs: 170 Def, 50 SpAtk, 120 SpDef
-Luster Cannon
-Swagger
-Rest
-Toxic

The team's wall. Didn't know if Thunderbolt would come into conflict with Toxic though. I'd really like it to stay in, as it's one of my favourite 4th Gen Pokemon. Self recovery move?

Salamence # 373
@ Choice Band
Jolly Nature
Ev: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
-Earthquake
-Aerial Ace
-Crunch
-Dragon Claw

Two STAB moves should work well, right?

Latios # 381
@ Leftovers
Modest Nature
EV: 6 HP/252 SpAtk/252 Spd
-Dragon Pulse
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Calm Mind

Absolutely no Soul Dew. >< Was wondering if I should give it Surf, Shadow Ball, or Energy Ball.

I think I'll take the first set for Dianozu since it has an attacking move. I wouldn't want him to get stuck with another Steel type.

For Salamence, Choice Band just works better for me. I'll give Dragon Dancing a shot though, when I have the time.

I've never been a big fan of Psychic. I'd rather use Ice Beam or Thunderbolt.

I don't care for In-Fight. Sure, it's a really strong STABed move, but the decrease in defenses seem like a problem. I'd like to keep Focus Punch, since flinching from that would activate his ability. I'd like to use Swords Dance, but it replaces Ice Beam which takes out his Flying weakness.
