Best thing for Empoleon to be for that is Calm Natured to boost his Special Defense. His move-set should look something like this.

Empoleon - Calm

Surf
Ice Beam
Grass Knot/Protect
Yawn/Roar/Stealth Rock

The 3rd move you could choose between Grass Knot or Protect. Protect would be used to scout your opponent and see what they are up to. You could see if they were going to boost stats or just start attacking. Which that would leave to your 4th move selection. Stealth Rock to keep your opponent from switching their Pokemon around. Roar to get rid of something that could really hurt you or just to get that stat booster back on their bench. Yawn is a good option, because Empoleon should be able to last atleast 2 rounds for your opponent to fall asleep.

No that was from Smogon. I look at Smogon for the most common builds for Pokemon and then I try to give them a little surprise of my own. That one was straight from Smogon though.

Characteristics are not something you look for. They are your highest IV, so breeding will tell you what your characteristic should be.
