DPPt/HGSS Need backup team for Platinum

Z

Okay, so I've finished my lv 100 main team already, but I have all these pokemon sitting around in my P.C. so I decided to make a second team on Platinum with them. Heres what I've got so far:

Swampert@ Focus Band
Surf
Earthquake
Stealh Rock
Toxic

Ambipom@ Muscle Band
Double Hit
Knock Off
Swift
Tickle

Gengar@ Spell Tag
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Hypnosis
Nightmare/Dream Eater

I haven't done any EV training yet so EV's would help too

It looks cooler in your boxes if you pokes are lv. 100.

Here's the Swampert build I have used.

Swampert @ Chioce Band
104 HP / 204 Atk / 100 Def / 100 Spe
Earthquake
Waterfall
Avalanche
Stone Edge / Hammer Arm / Focus Punch

This build is pretty straight forward Waterfall over Surf because Swampert has a higher Atk stat than SpA. Earthquake for STAB and Ice coverage. Avalanche for Ground coverage and the last move is basically a hard hitting move.

What do you mean Earthquake is for Ice coverage? Ice Pokemon aren't weak against Ground type moves.

I think it's a cut and paste error :). I think it should say:

Rock and Fighting moves are both supereffective against Ice, so any of those three listed as the fourth move would do.
