I took Sharpeedo and Camerupt as tribute to Team Aqua and Team Magma. Tentacruel in tribute to all of Hoenn. Gardevoir as an emergency backup plan, Venomoth as an experimental Baton Passer, and Sandslash because I've always liked it but for some reason I've never actually used it before.
Camerupt surprised me in the end, BTFO'd the Champion's Metagross. Tentacruel was a pretty effective tank too.
