I just got a Donkarasu off the GTS...it's level 19. It knows Astonish, Pursuit, Haze, and Wing Attack. I'd like to get it a better set of moves, but I'm not very good at...you know, making serious strategies, so could I get some help? :eek:
 
Well, it learns Dark Pulse at Level 55 which is a very good Dark type special attack. 80 Attack, 100% accuracy, with a 20% chance to make your opponent flinch so it is great move to spam. Going back a little bit, it learns Swagger at 25, Scheme at 35, and Blade Test at 45. Blade Test is a good physical attack (70 Attack, 100% accuracy). It also depends on what you're going for though, what nature is it by the way? If it's a more a physical nature, you may wish to adjust that accordingly.
 
I don't mean to make more work for you though I have a better idea. Look at my chart that I copied and made on my web-page (pardon the advertising).

From the looks of things though, the nature is namaiki or sassy. Sassy raises special defense and lowers speed. You might want to breed to get the perfect one. However if you absolutely know whether this one (based off of how you got it on the GTS), is going to be physical or special then choose Dark Pulse for Special or Blade Test for Physical. I select those two moves at least from what is learned on its own. You might want to add some other moves via TM's as well, such as Psychic (especially if it's special) or Toxic perhaps.

If this were a Pokemon that didn't evolve with a stone, I would gladly make the attempt to breed for perfection...but since I need a Dark Stone...and I don't currently have another one, that appears to be out of the question.

I think I would like to go with Special, rather than Physical, since my Eteboss is quite physical.
 
All right, then go with Dark Pulse, Psychic, Aerial Ace (to have a flying move), and perhaps Rest or Toxic.
 
I would suggest going attack because it has 20 more base attack then special.

Donkarasu
-Dark Pulse
-Thunder Wave
-Feather Rest/Scheme
-Psychic

Phys. Donkarasu
-Blade Test
-Aerial Ace
-Steel Wing
-Feather Rest/Thunder Wave

Either will work I think, poor bird ended up with a horrid movepool.
