surf or hydro pump
ice-beam
grass knot

the second is (if you want it to be the lead)
hydro pump
aqua jet
stealth rock
grass knot or ice beam

Empoleon in its 80's can beat everyone if knows the moves: Aqua Jet Drill peak :)
Probably roserade if you are using water types. If you have chimchar it will be easier. But my EMPOLEON RULES!
hydro cannon
According to Marriland Infernape(62 best Pokemon) is the best, then empoleon(65 best Pokemon), and finally torterra(73 best Pokemon). Personally, they are all good to me. I started with chimchar and got all the starters, so I would know which starters are good . Watch this: Infernape(fire fight) : can kill torterra with fire type attacks and kill empoleon with fighting type attacks, or since empoleon is a water steel type, and steel is weak to fire, fire can also do quite a bit of damage. Empoleon( water steel): can take out infernape with water type moves, and take out torterra with steel/ice type moves. Torterra(grass ground): take out infernape with ground type moves and empoleon with grass type moves. So once they all evolve, they can take out each other. You know what, start with chimchar and trade some other Pokemon for a piplup and a turtwig.
Kyoger, Empoleon, Kingdra, Mantine, Ontilary, Blastoies, and Vaporion And does anyone know how to get rid of the ? mark on Pokemon platinum
I think empoleon is the best when it comes to starters in platinum because he has a great defense and a really high special attack. Other then that, Giratina is the best of platinum, especially in the origin form, with the right moves he can destroy anything.
My team is: Infernape Empoleon Torterra Honchkrow Umbreon Raichu Well that's my team... you pick yours
Well that is up to you :P
It will be a tie between houndoom and Luxray but my choice (since I raised a luxray To lv100) I think it is luxray Best move discharge
i think that the best Pokemon you can ever have in Pokemon pearl is Empoleon or Palkia not rare^ rare^
Double hit x scicor nightslash and faslswipe or slash
you probably could use one if its strong enough but... it wouldn't be the best way to beat faulkner so try to use gravaler or other ground type Pokemon instead of Empoleon
