Okay, I have twelve pokemon I'd love to do some competetive battling with. Here they are.
Charizard @ Power Herb
-Rash Nature
-Blaze
6 HP - 252 Special Attack - 252 Speed
-Solarbeam
-Dragon Pulse
-Flamethrower
-Fly
I'm aiming to make good ol' Flare, above, a special sweeper. She's pretty strong so far, but any move or item suggestions?
Garchomp @ Yache Berry
-Naughty Nature
-Sand Veil
252 Attack - 6 Defense - 252 Speed
-Aqua Tail
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
-Dragon Rush
I know; too many stab moves. But I can't bear to part with Dragon Rush due to sheer force on this Physical Sweeper. Jet does stand his ground decent enough against Ice moves with that Yache in place.
Mightyena @ Muscle Band
-Brave Nature
-Intimidate
252 Attack - 126 Defense - 126 Special Defense - 6 HP
-Crunch
-Iron Tail
-Sucker Punch
-Swagger
I think Swagger is made a tad redundant by Intimidate, but the confusion really helps Dane pummel his opponents. I do think that there is a better move for him than Swagger though, anyone able to think of one?
Lucario @ Wise Glasses
-Mild Nature
-Steadfast
6 Attack - 252 Special Attack - 252 Speed
-Aura Sphere
-Dark Pulse
-Psychic
-Flash Cannon
Alucia is pretty reliable indeed. Her higher speed lends her an advantage against other fighting types (including other Lucario), and her mainstay is as yet another Special Sweeper. I didn't teach her an exponentially powerful moves, I know, but she does perfectly well.
Vaporeon @ Mystic Water
-Mild Nature
-Water Absorb
252 Special Attack - 252 Special Defense - 6 Speed
-Surf
-Hydro Pump
-Acid Armor
-Ice Beam
Venise here really only fits into two type niches here; Water and Ice as you can plainly see. Acid Armor helps when up against Electivire and such, but really slows her down against other opponents. Should I keep the move, or ditch it? Oh, and she's a special tank hence her EV spread.
Blaziken @ _____
-Mild Nature (again)
-Blaze
252 Attack - 252 Special attack - 6 Speed
-Focus Blast
-Flamethrower
-Blast Burn
-Thunderpunch
God, Razer up above needs some refining, I know. I want to ditch his Focus Blast, but I can't find a good move to take its place. And Blast Burn has to go as well. Or does it? Also, any ideas for an item?
Ninetales @ _____
-Modest Nature
-Flash Fire
252 Special Attack - 126 Defense - 126 HP - 6 Speed
-Flamethrower
-Dark Pulse
-Extrasensory
-Will-O-Wisp
Crystal up there is practically a fire based stand-in for Alucia (the Lucario). The flinching chance given to Extrasensory is pretty good in my opinion, and Will-o-Wisp's damage dealing and attack lowering helps a lot in barring those physical attck from breaking her down. But does this need some improvement? And items, I need one again.
Milotic @ Enigma Berry
-Rash Nature
-Marvel Scale
252 Special Attack - 252 Special Defense - 6 Speed
-Hydro Pump
-Surf
-Dragon Pulse
-Ice Beam
Mina's a pretty legit battler from what I've seen, but she does have that modest nature that detracts from her Sp. Def. So I had to distribute EV's to that. Tank, again. Moveset help?
Tyranitar @ Chople Berry
-Lonely Nature
-Sand Stream
252 Attack - 252 Defense - 6 Special Defense
-Crunch
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
I see Saul's moveset as moderate. Am I right, or is it fine as is?
Gyarados @ Muscle Band
-Mild Nature
-Intimidate
252 Attack - 252 Special Defense - 6 Speed
-Earthquake
-Aqua Tail
-Avalanche
-Giga Impact
Okay, I know already that Giga Impact has to go due to the resting necessary afterwards. Destro's another Tank to some degree or another, but he seems a bit mixed. He rules at taking out things like Alakazam and Charizard, however.
Raichu @ _____
-Bashful Nature
-Static
252 Attack - 252 Special Attack - 6 Speed
-Charge Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Grass Knot
-Mega Kick
Raichu, I know, are so so when it comes to battle prowess. I have no clue what item to give Ryan, and his highly strategic moveset have lent me a hand sometimes, but have also set me back sometimes. I guess he's a mixed sweeper of sorts, though; based on his stats.
Sceptile @ _____
-Naughty Nature
-Overgrow
252 Special Attack - 6 Special Defense - 252 Speed
-Leaf Blade
-Giga Drain
-Solarbeam
-Dragon Claw
Serious help needed with Lawrence here. I can't decide on a definitive item. I've tried Power Herbs, Muscle Bands, and Leichi Berries. I'm thinking of a Life orb, what with Giga Drain in place. But I need to ditch at least one of his Grass moves. Preferably Solarbeam, due to him having high Attack for Leaf Blade. (And the high Crtitcal Chance is really helpful.) Dragon Claw helps with those pesky Kingdra.

So yeah, there are my twelve pokemon I have set for competitive battling. All of them are at Level 100, so stats are pretty much set in stone. Love it? Hate it? Like it? Dislike it? So so? I would like some honest opinions here.
