This is not a trade thread.

I'm hoping to open a shop offering affordable "egg-move," IV-bred (at least 2 but most likely 3 perfect IVs) Pokemon as its main gimmick. But before I do, I'll need to have some stock. While I am perfectly capable of making it myself, I don't really know what sort of stuff other people like. So far I have:

Chimchar (Adamant/Naive/Jolly/Modest)
Gible (Adamant/Jolly)
Horsea (random natures, since I was still getting the hang of it)
Magnemite (Timid/others)
Scyther (Adamant/Jolly)
Sneasel (Jolly)
Sprititomb (Bold)
Staryu (Timid/Modest)
Togepi (Modest)

All with pretty good stats and moves that I don't feel like going into detail about :p But as you can see, it isn't much, mainly because they're just for personal use in the Hax Frontier. I'd like to offer at least thirty different species to kick things off, so I need a little help from you guys: What sort of stuff would you like to see in my shop? Species + nature would be nice; a suggested move set even better. I try to give them generally useful egg-moves, then fill any remaining slots with useful TM moves while not copying something they learn by level up. For example, even though Dragon Claw is a good move for the Gible family, my Gibles know Outrage, Earthquake, Stone Edge, and Toxic because they'll eventually learn Dragon Claw via level up. So yeah. Any ideas are appreciated, and while I'm not really offering anything for your help at the moment, I'll probably hook you up once I open up shop.
 
I'd just get the recommended natures of Smogon and breed mostly OU/UU stuff...sounds like a good idea though :]
 
I agree with Troggy, just go for common OU and UU pokemon. If you need a contributor to the shop, I would be happy to help :D, I am currently working on a (flawless :S) Dragon Dance Larvitar :).
 
Yeah, just browse the strat dex on Smogon and pick the better looking pokemon and their moves.
 
@Everbody so far:
Yeah, that's what I figured. I started doing that, but then Gyarados and Metagross (two I really like) have no egg moves at all, so they're not much fun, and Infernape has so many options it's hard to pick just one nature to breed for :/ Ah well. I'll probably start off with the rest of the good dragons. All the cool kids like dragons.

EDIT: But I'm still open to suggestions, future readers :)
 
A lot of smogon's Pokemon pages haven't been updated in a long time though and they may still not even have the HG/SS movepool additions considered (or even Platinum for that matter), especially in the lower tiers. That said, I suggest maybe a few novelty ones for fun or variety's sake. For example:

Aipom - Adamant, Run Away (so Ambipom gets Technician) - Fake Out, Beat Up, Aerial Ace
Beat Up can get up to 90 BP with Technician and 5 conscious teammates.

Rhyhorn - Adamant - Crunch, Dragon Rush

Teddiursa - Adamant/Jolly, either ability - Rest, Sleep Talk, Crunch, Cross Chop
No STAB, but Fighting and Dark have perfect coverage, and sleep activates either of Ursaring's abilities. I suggested Cross Chop over Close Combat because this Ursaring is supposed to last, and the defensive drops wouldn't help.
 
Hey I have some pokemon with egg moves that I was gonna distribute, but I don't have time to do that. Only problem is I don't know anything about IV breeding, but Ill be giving you male if you want them and you can IV breed. Anyways vm me if your interested. Here are what I have.
Dark zigazagoon: pursuit(egg move), thief(tm move)
Vicious poochyena: fire fang, thunder fang(egg moves)
Chimchar: thunder punch(egg move), grassknot(tm move)
Ominous castform: ominous wind(egg move)
If your intersted in them you can have them.
