May I suggest that you could teach the move Dark Pulse to Luke? (I don't know if this will help you, but personally that move works wonders with my Umbreon).
Yeah I'm probably gonna teach it to him. I'm just saving all of my TMs for the Elite 4 cause I don't want to risk wasting a TM on a Pokemon that might have an untimely death.

Current Team:
So Sookie has turned into an absolute monster. Aura Sphere decimated the ice gym (I can't even remember the gym leader's name, we swept through it so quickly). I got through Sky Pillar and tried to catch Giritina. It was risky, but it was a calculated risk. I had Sookie go out and use Yawn to put him to sleep. Giritina knows Ominous Wind, Shadow Force, Ancient Power, and Dragon Claw at this point in the game, and he's Lv47. For some reason he kept using Ominous Wind which didn't effect Sookie who is a normal/flying type. I wasted about 15 Ultra Balls on Giritina once I got him to sleep and down in the red by using a repeated combination of Yawn+Fly. Unfortunately, Giritina finally wizened up and used Ancient Power, which was super effective. It only took away about 30% of Sookie's health, but the secondary effect of the move kicked in and all of Giritina's stats jumped up by 1 level. After that, one Dragon Claw would take me below 50% so I decided not to risk a Critical Hit killing my Sookie so I just finished of Giritina and called it a day.
Cyrus (team Galactic's leader) kept going on and on about balance in the world and how I was dumb for trying to save it... so I spanked him in a Pokemon battle which sent him running off crying. I don't know why I had to do everything myself though, Cynthia was there the whole time with her Championship team... good for nothing lady. Tubby keeps talking about how he's going to become stronger and beat the E4... I wish him the best but I know I'll spank him any day. For now I'm training up my Rhyhorn and Electabuzz. I plan to have them both evolve into their final forms (there isn't a rule against trading to evolve Pokemon in a Nuzlocke run) and once they are at 100% I'll trash the Sunnyshore gym before making my way to Victory Road. I think I have type coverage down for the E4, the only thing I'm worried about right now is Cynthia's Garchomp. I have a Sneasel that I could take out and train, but I want to see how Electabuzz and Rhyhorn fit into my team first. That's all for this update... only two more updates until I take on the E4!!

Yeah I wasn't sure how long this would take. I was worried grinding was going to take up a lot of time. Right now I'm at 39 hours in the game, and it took 9 hours to get my first badge haha. Once you find a good grinding spot it goes pretty quickly though. Right now I've got an exp. share on my Beastie and I'm using Zeus to one hit KO a trainer who has 2 Gyarados and 1 Remoraid. Earlier on in the game, just above Solaceon town, there's a trainer who has a Happiny, and that thing gives away 1,200 exp every time you kill it, and at that point in the game it only takes 1 or 2 battles to level up with a battle like that.

Since you're doing Platinum, you should know that once you beat the Elite 4 Giratina will show up in the Turnback Cave like how he does in Diamond and Pearl, so you'll get a second chance at him
He'll also be in his Altered Forme so his ability will be Pressure instead of Levitate.

Current Team:
Volkner got pounded by Beastie's Earthquake, he never stood a chance. It's pretty funny, because Volkner planned on challenging the Elite 4 if he beat me, but he'd never make it past Bertha. Now it's time for me to make my way through Victory Road. I can't remember if it's long and time consuming in this game or if it's straight to the point. Either way, my next update will be when I'm ready to face the Elite 4 with my final movesets and levels.

Good Luck with Victory Road and the Elite 4! Plus with these pictures of your team can you tell me how you did it? Cause they look good!
It didn't take me too long and I explored every area that I could.
You want to know how I made the pictures? I got the Pokemon pics from Bulbapedia, and I found the Pokemon font online, then I put everything together in photoshop.
Final Update!

Current Team:
3 weeks have passed and I've gone from a no-name wannabe trainer to challenging 5 of the best trainers in the world for the Pokemon championship. I've trained my team as best I can, and I believe they are ready to take this challenge with me. They know all the moves I will need to take down the Elite 4 and beat the current champion, Cynthia. They won't know what hit them.

train more. cynthia's garchomp is level 66 and super effectiveness only gets you so far.
but if yu want to do it with those levels i would say:
Aaron: Zeus and Beastie should be your main fighters, as they should both be able to OHKO with a super effective move.
Bertha: Aurora and DJ Otter should be able to pwn here.
Flint: use DJ Otter here too.
Lucian: Luke and Sookie should be able to do it. But back them up with Zeus just in case.
Cynthia: Spiritomb: Zeus or Beastie to kill it quickly.
Garchomp: DJ otter is your best bet.
Gastrodon: Aurora with magical leaf.
Milotic: Zeus/ Aurora
Roserade: Sookie/ Zeus' fire punch
Lucario:Anyone except Luke.
And of course, Stock up on max potions and full heals!

I'm only really worried about Cynthia and her Garchomp. I'm going to see when Milotic comes out in the rotation. Once Milotic comes out I'll send Aurora out and Calm Mind until I'm maxed out. I've got plenty of Full Restores to keep her health up while I repeatedly Calm Mind. After that I'll just sweep her entire team.
