There is a move set for empoleon that is almost impossible to break once set up right, i have been beaten by it many times on shoddy battle. Here it is:
Agility
Substitute
Surf
Ice Beam/ Grass Knot (This one is all preference for you).
Item: Petaya Berry
The goal of this is simple. Switch it in on a pokemon it resists, then use agility. Then use substitute until your health reaches 25% and your ability Torrent and the Petaya Berry activate. If you get this set up right, you know have a 2 stage speed raise and essentially a 2 stage sp atk raise if you use surf. The petaya berry raises ur sp atk a stage and torrent raises water moves another stage. Then from this point u can sweep the competion out with surf, because msot of the time u will move faster. This is a very effective set, because even a water pokemon that switches in will be 2HKO or maybe even OHKO by surf, and ice beam covers the grass that come in to resist.
The only problem with this is i dont kno how available petaya berrys will be in PU :/ I dont kno how they are implementing them. Haha cuz you are gonna need a berry for every major battle you use him in.
If the petaya berry is out of the question, here is a better defensive set up for you since u want him as a tank
Surf
Grass Knot
Ice Beam
Yawn/ Knock Off
Item: Leftovers
Theres not much to this set. Just use the moves when you see them best used. The last move is a question though. Knock off is effective for stripping pokemon of Life Orbs or Choice items that try to break your wall, but Yawn is effective if you have items like spikes or toxic spikes set up, which guessing from your other moves you dont. However its still good without that.
Anyway thats my 2 cents on Empoleon, there are a couple other ways to use him offensively but i only gave ya the defense cuz ya said u wanted him as a tank. However i would always go with the first set if there is easy access to berrys in PU. Hope this helps. Also i might review your other pokemon later if i have time.
Mr. Fox:
For me i use Empolion as a special sweeper: Surf, Grass Knot, Ice Beam, and Flash Cannon
