That is a poor set for Sceptile. Try this one instead:

Sceptile @ SceptiliteTimid NatureAbility: Overgrow —-> Lighting RodEVs: 252 Spe / 252 SpA / 4 HP- Leaf Storm- Focus Blast- Giga Drain- Dragon Pulse

Use the appropriate coverage move, then simply use Leaf Storm when you’re about to faint.

For partners, someone who can use Discharge to boost Sceptile’s Special Attack is good, and also someone who counters Ice types. Enter Magnezone!

Magnezone @ Choice ScarfAbility: Magnet PullEVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Volt Switch- Hidden Power [Fire]- Flash Cannon- Discharge

By using Discharge, you can easily boost Sceptile’s Special Attack. With Flash Cannon you can shut down Ice types and Volt Switch allows you to get a powerful hit off for free and switch out into a better teammate.

Hope I helped!

Replace HP Fire with HP Water so you can go against Fire types. And replace Iron Tail with Focus Blast. Now here’s the rest of the team for ORAS.

Your Sceptile is at his most vulnerable when an opponent goes with Ice, Fire, Poison, and Flying. So you need Water, Electric, Ice, Psychic, and Rock as a counter (Ice Beam is used mostly by water types).

Starmie: Surf, Ice Beam, Psychic, Dazzling GleamMagnezone: Thunderbolt, Flash Cannon, Lock-On, ThunderRhyperior: Earthquake, Stone Edge, Megahorn, Poison Jab

That covers Sceptile’s weaknesses. I think you’d probably want a fire type, and you also need a Flyer. Check this out. Unfortunately, most fire types in Hoenn are kind of overrated in my opinion but try it anyway.

Camerupt: Earthquake, Rock Slide, Eruption, FlamethrowerCamerupt has the solid rock ability, which limits the damage from any moves it’s weak against. Flamethrower gets STAB, and a fully healthy Camerupt is unstoppable with Eruption.

Now, the last Pokemon to decide on is a flier. Here’s a good team.Salamence: Draco Meteor, Fly, Crunch, Dragon ClawFly, Dragon Claw, and Crunch are all physical moves, so Draco Meteor’s reduction in Special Attack doesn’t affect these moves. I have Crunch in here as a response to Phoebe’s ghost Pokemon.

There you have it. This team features Grass, Water, Dragon, Fighting, Ice, Psychic, Fairy, Electric, Steel, Rock, Ground, Bug, Poison, Fire, Flying, and Dark type moves. These sixteen types can score super effective hits on ANY Pokemon type, and any combination of types (I’m looking at you, Sableye)! I believe this is the best possible team for any Hoenn League challenge.
