    This is the current moveset of my torterra:

    Earthquake
    Leaf Storm
    Razor Leaf
    Wood Hammer

    And I'm looking to replace Wood Hammer with something that can benefit him.
     
    Torterra (M) @ Leftovers
    Ability: Overgrow
    EVs: 88 HP / 184 Atk / 236 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Rock Polish
    - Earthquake
    - Seed Bomb
    - Stone Edge / Crunch
    Crunch is optional if you want to block Ghosts.
     
    Sounds good, but can I replace Rock Polish with Razor Leaf or Leaf storm. I like the EV layout as well I used my Evs in attack and Sp. Defense but I'll breed a new one. Luckily I got a female turtwig.
     
    Using 2 Grass attacks is a waste of Space. Seed Bomb is already stronger than Razor Leaf, and Torterra's Sp. Atk is far too poor to use Leaf Storm.

    Also, the speed boost gained from Rock Polish is essential for attacking.
     
    I'd change Wood Hammer into Mega Drain.

    See previous comment on Sp. Atks being used on Torterra.
    Also, who's going to be retarded enough to use an attack with 40 Base Power?
     
    Stone Edge doesn't do anything regarding Speed.
     
    Really? Then I must have been thinking of some other move. Also I have a question concerning my Aerodactyle, What EV's should I major my Aerodactyle in and What would be his best move set to take on the PC League, I want to make sure everything is perfect because do you know how long it took me to dig up Old Amber? :P

    252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP (This is what I used)

    My moveset is like this
    Aerodactyl
    Nature: Adament (+Atk, -Sp Atk)
    Trait: Rock Head
    -Double Edge
    -Stone Edge
    -Crunch
    -Wing Attack
     
    My annoying luck-game Aerodactyl which I use to annoy friends.
    I have to emphasize on the annoyance value of this thing.

    HP 252, SPD 252, Something in 6, Jolly nature, Leftovers
    - Swagger
    - Substitute
    - Roost
    - Stone Edge/Rock Slide (Pick Rock Slide if you feel lucky with flinching)

    It's not my responsibility if you lose friends using this.

    Aerodactyl @ Life Orb
    Ability: Rock Head
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
    - Earthquake
    - Stone Edge
    - Ice Fang
    - Crunch / Fire Fang / Double Edge / Aerial Ace
    It's kinda tough deciding that last move ._.'
     
    If I could still talk about Torterra, here's what I'm using

    Torterra: Leftovers
    Earthquake
    Wood Hammer
    Stone Edge/Rock Slide
    Synthesis

    I have someone on my team who can use Sunny Day, so the weather is usually sunny. Synthesis almost always works for me. And I use PP ups to raise his Stone Edge usage.
     
    sims796 I like that set I'll try to use that. My Aerodactyle is Serious nature and I'm majoring him in Speed and Attack. Ice, I think I'm going to switch between crunch and ice fang using heart scales. Crunch will really help me with the first gym.

    I'm going to assume that runs off of High HP and defenses.
    He doesn't have the speed to attempt to pull off a full sweeper job.
     
    Yes. I use my Torterra as sort of a tank. If I feel like using him as a sweeper, my Scizor can Baton-Pass him speed and power required to sweep (though I rarely do that-I prefer the strong tank Torterra).

    Now all I need to know is what to major my Electrivire in and what to Major my Wailmer in. What would be their best move sets and then I'm done.

    Wailmer? Maybe u mean Wailord, but nyways:

    Electivire majors in both the physical and speical department. My favorite moveset on vire is the "It's Supah Effective!" moveset. I don't remember the EV's, but the moveset is:
    Thunderbolt/ Thunderpunch
    Ice PUnch
    Cross Chop
    Earthquake

    Now as for Wialmer/ Wailord: Its only attribute to me is its high HP. It doesn't fit in well as a tank or wall IMO, so I'm not sure about that. Maybe try a Rest Talk set with waterfall and EQ in there?

    Is this move set good For Torterra?

    Toxic
    Stealth Rock
    Leech Seed
    Stone Edge

    R u using Torterra for support? 0_O. Ur missing out on its main attribute here. Throw away this set and use sims set, works better and dishes more damage, along with a STAB move, which should be on every pokemon u got.
