So, I recently restarted my Diamond version after finishing Pearl, and am just now escalating to the Elite Four. Just Victory Road to plow through! As this is in-game, I am not too worried about EVs. However, I am also planning to competitively take on some friends in a free-for-all (somewhat) battle. No legendaries or "Ubers", if you will. Anyways, on to the pokemon: Justification prevails!
Chimecho @ Wise Glasses
Hasty Nature ( +Speed, -Defense )
Mischievous ( +Sp. Attack )
Extrasensory
Shadow Ball
Heal Bell
Charge Beam
Extrasensory is for STAB. Shadow Ball is for coverage against Ghost-types and other Psychic-types. Heal Bell is to help her team out with their status issues. Charge Beam is for extra coverage and for the chance of a Special Attack boost.
Empoleon @ ?
Mild Nature ( +Sp. Attack, -Defense )
Somewhat of a Clown ( +Speed )
Surf
Flash Cannon
Ice Beam
Grass Knot
Surf and Flash Cannon for STAB. Ice Beam and Grass Knot are for general coverage. Wasn't too sure what to give to him move-pool-wise or item-wise.
Graveler @ ? (I was thinking about Focus Sash/Band)
Relaxed Nature ( +Defense, -Speed )
Highly Persistent ( +Attack [?] )
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Brick Break
Double Edge / Rock Blast
Stone Edge and Earthquake are for STAB. Brick Break for coverage and the lack of a Fighting-type Pokemon/move on my team. Double Edge would be for the Rock Head ability and for a powerhouse move, yet Rock Blast would be for more-than-likely immediate obliteration of everything its super-effective against. I can't decide which to use. I am planning to try and evolve her. ( I can ask my friend on the bus, or if I can get my Wi-Fi to work. If my Wi-Fi works, would anyone be willing to help me out here? Golem is one of my all-time-favorite Pokemon. (: )

Those are all of my current Pokemon. However, I am planning to own a Garchomp before even stepping into the Elite Four's domain. This was my idea for him/her:
--
Garchomp @ Shell Bell / ?
Adamant ( +Attack, -Sp. Attack ) / Jolly ( +Speed, -Sp. Attack ) Nature
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Swords Dance
Fire Fang
Dragon Claw and Earthquake for STAB. Fire Fang for coverage and for the fact that I don't have a Fire-type/move on my team. Swords Dance serves the obvious purpose to buff him/her up.

So - what do you all think? I really would like a basic idea of how my move sets are, and how they would survive the standardized competitive environment. Please, if you would, suggest Pokemon. I am open to every suggestion out there. Thank you! And, once more, please. (;
