i have more, but the post is long enough as it is.
 
I could spoil it a little and reveal the moves they all use to make it easier.

But do take this, a Water Type with a strong Special Attack will destroy 2 of 3 Pokémon quite easily. Hence why I love my Starmie for the Battle Tower.

If you can get a Milotic, it should be fine ( Better if you can get HP Grass or Electric.)

Milotic@ Wise Glasses / Life Orb
Modest Nature
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-HP [Electric / Grass] / Dragon Pulse
-Recover

It does get decent coverage. All three of those moves can easily dispatch all three of Palmer's Pokémon (Assuming Miltoic can outspeed them).

Surf for STAB.
Ice attacks pair well with Water.
The HP addresses some type coverage problems.
Dragon Pulse is there for a somewhat strong move to fall back on.
Recover can shake of damage from the Life Orb and attack thrown at you.

Anywho, just wondering why Ice Beam is listed twice for Froslass. Otherwise the sets look quite sound.

Almost like my team, except instead of Frosslass I had a Dragonite. I had these movesets.

Lucario@ Expert Belt/Sitrus Berry
Bashful Nature
-Aura Sphere
-Psychic
-ExtremeSpeed
-Dragon Pulse

Aura Sphere- Lucario's Special Move
Psychic- IDK
ExtremeSpeed- To cause a quick K.O when low H.P
Dragon Pulse- If you survive to Dragonite, it will help.

Now for Garchomp

Garchomp@ Expert Belt/White Herb
-Draco Meteor
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Surf

Draco Meteor- Strong Dragon Type move, but lowers Sp. Att. If you use White Herb, it will still be the same so it can have the same power 2 times.
Earthquake- Strong move, and could probably be used to kill Rypherior.
Stone Edge- Rock type, can kill Dragonite in 1 or 2 hits, and for the accuracy, actually never misses.
Surf- Just cool can kill Rypherior.

Well you should find something to kill Milotic. I don't think any of them can learn electric moves.
 

Ruko

Bearded Trout Warrior
Earthquake- Strong move, and could probably be used to kill Rypherior.
That sir, is not true
It may be super effective, but I can almost assure Draco Meteor will do more, given Rhyperior's massive Defense, and not so mentionable Special Defense. Solid Rock will also significantly weaken EQs SE damage

That said, Surf will definitely do more than Draco Meteor XD



Garchomp @ Salac Berry
Adamant Nature
Flamethrower/Fire Blast
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Swords Dance

Swords Dance will help your Garchomp a lot, and a special attack won't hurt it. Really there are a lot of options with it, but this is what I'd recommend. Based somewhat on King of Lucario's Garchomp... if not a straight rip of it XP
 
Totally forgot about this topic XD

Jet: It's just Rhypherior I can't beat. Cursed Flamethrower. Fix'd

Ruko: A special attack, might, considering mine's horrid Sp. Atk. I might acually replace Garchomp to add a tank to my team XD

I've also got:

Shiny Larvitar@?? Lv. 6(male)
Untouched
Serious Nature
Untouched
Guts
-Bite
-Leer
-Sandstorm

Carnivine@?? Lv.30(female)
252 Atk Evs
Quirky Nature
Levitate

Other Notes:none
IVs: 7/14/27/7/2/21

I'm really debating whether to use relicanth or larvitar, (which will be evolved into tyranitar) and I'm leaning toward the latter.
 
BUMP.

Gardevoir@? Lv 50 Male
Synchronize
Mild. >>
Psychic
Calm Mind
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball
Other Notes: Not gonna rebreed, unless someone supplies me with a Thunderbolt and a Shadow Ball TM.

Gallade@? Lv 50 Male
Steadfast
Quirky
Fire Punch
Leaf Blade
Psycho Cut
Protect
Other Notes: probably not going to rebreed.

opinions? I'm actually using these two in the battle Arcade in platinum, so critque needed ^^;
 
Gardevoir@? Lv 50 Male
Synchronize
Mild. >>
Psychic
Calm Mind
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball
Other Notes: Not gonna rebreed, unless someone supplies me with a Thunderbolt and a Shadow Ball TM.

If I remember correctly (and if my Misdreavus are correct) if the male Pokemon has level-up and TM moves that can be learned by the Pokemon being bred (as in, the egg at the end) the Pokemon will be bred with those moves. If you want a modest nature, you can borrow my female Gardevoir if you'd like.
 
Tatile is correct, and you might want to consider the Trace ability instead too as you can score some pretty awesome abilities off of the pokemon you fight. ^^
 
I need my ditto first XD
I swear, I've never even SEEN a female Ralts, so yeah XD

I might need to rebreed my Gallade >>
That means I need another Dawn stone, XD

Also, my Garchomp has an IV of 31 in Sp. Atk, so maybe Surf would work. =\

I need a special attacker, as my current BATTLE TOWER team, is prey to Ice types AND Intimidate. >>
I was thinking Latias, but yeah. Prey to ice types.
