I haven't battled another human being since the link cable days in the late 90s, so it's been a while. I'm not expecting me team to be like, tournament ready at all. I just want to have fun with my personal favorite pokemon while being as well rounded of a team as i can be. The team I'm planning on is as follows.
Blastoise @ Leftovers

- Toxic
- Roar
Staraptor @ Choice Band

Jolly Nature

Arcanine @ Life Orb

EVs: 72 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SDef / 176 Speed

Nidoking (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Speed
Timid Nature

Krookodile @ Choice Scarf

As is, I know my main problem is Ice. I don't want to give up Nidoking or Krookodile, but I feel like I might have to lose one to help round out my team. Of the two, I would be more willing to swap out Krookodile, but i don't know for whom. I would also like some advice on how to make my Blastoise a better wall. I'm been having doubts and I'm considering changing his moveset to:
Aqua Ring
Protect / Iron Defense / Mirror Coat
Toxic
Scald
Besides my two requests, any pointers and suggestions would be VERY welcome. I'm going to be picking up White 2 tomorrow hopefully and will begin breeding and trading pokes over from White and SS as soon as possible.
