[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

Hm, should I bring Lairon and shoot Rock Tombs or other kind of moves? Or should I bring Ambipom and release some rage of fury swipes until that Noctown faints? Or maybe Rose with Calm to increase Attack and Defence and for with Close Combat + Mach Punch? Any tips people?

No, save Lairon until she's sent out her last Pokémon, as if its one that can reliably chip away at Rock/Steel types but is not a Flying/type effective against Viktor, he's a better bet.

As for Noctowl, watch out for Hypnosis, Flitching Moves, and generally any sort of coverage that is available to it via its Level up and Breeding Move pools. Rose would be the best choice against it regardless, as if she's slower she can still use Mach Punch to cut Initiative, and Flare Blitz/Thunder Punch to nuke the damn bird before it can proc Sleep/Confusion and/or force it to Evade if they go first. I wouldn't recommend trying to set up on any of Tanuki's Pokémon given the tricks she employs, unless you thoroughly review each of her Pokémon's Movepools and can 'safely' judge to make that sort of risk.

Yeah....indeed bring Viktor would be a huge disavantage against me. And bring already my last pokemon would be a bad idea. Perhaps depending of the initial, maybe I should use Rose with Calm Mind to raise power and defence....

...But that would make me vulnerable to a attack like hypnosis, Flinch Moves or any other attack since any of Noctown STAB moves shall be Super effective for sure...either way its gonna be a tough battle....
