boiledpeanuts Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) So I just got fly and returned from Agate and the battle with Ciel made me realize that my team doesn't have any coverage against Flying types and that my team is kinda frail so Im looking for other team members and wondering am who I should replace. (Im considering getting either Aerodactyl to replace Crobat or Cradily to replace Roserade) My Team: Primarina Ability: Torrent Nature: Modest Moves: Sparkling Aria, Moonblast, Icy Wind, Hydro Pump Zoroark Ability: Illusion Nature: Timid Moves: Dark Pulse, Nasty Plot, Extrasensory, Flamethrower Volcarona Ability: Flame Body Item: Air Balloon Nature: Timid Moves: Quiver Dance, Heat Wave, Bug Buzz, Fiery Dance Lucario Ability: Inner Focus Nature: Jolly Moves: Swords Dance, Extreme Speed, Close Combat, Meteor Mash Crobat Ability: Inner Focus Nature: Quirky (Gonna go to the psychology guy to change it if it stays on my team) Moves: Cross Poison, Acrobatics, Poison Fang, Fly Roserade Ability: Natural Cure Nature: Timid Moves: Giga Drain, Synthesis, Sludge Bomb, Extrasensory Edited June 16, 2020 by boiledpeanuts Forgot their Abilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display name Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I would go for an electric type 2 great options are magnezone and ampharos. You should also replace fiery dance with roost for volcorona that way it lives longer and I personally prefer to use flamethrower over heat wave as well. You should also give primarina a coverage move against poison mons primarina can learn psychic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edo Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Crobat's actually kinda bulky, especially with Roost, and has great typing, so i would keep it. And you will need something against Water types soon, so either keep Roserade, or replace it with something else than Cradily (since that doesn't really have a Flying or water resistance). I would replace Zoroark, since you already have similar sweepers, with an Electric type like Magnezone/Rotom/Alola Raichu, or something like Tyrantrum.

Since you battle team meteor almost always in a factory field, discharge schlaps. Flash cannon and thunderbolt are also good moves to put on the team. I'd add Mimikyu as well. I only started using him last month and he's a force to be reckoned with, especially if it's carrying a life orb. It might be worth it to add a ninetales with the ability drought and heat wave on your team. You can get a vulpix with heat wave somewhere around the circus if you reset a couple of times. There's a certain double battle coming up and I found that spamming heat wave with both ninetales and volcarona, while the sun is out, to be the most effective strategy. Aerodactyl is only worth it when you get the mega ring IMO. It is, in my opinion, one of the best megas in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all for the recoomendations and I have thought it through and have decided to replace Lucario and Roserade with Magnezone and Torterra for my main team and get Ninetales and keep Lucario as a rotating member of my team when any member is useless in a battle. Sets: Torterra Ability: Overgrow Nature: Impish Moves: Wood Hammer, Earthquake, Synthesis, (4th move to be determined) Magnezone Ability: Magnet Pull Nature: Naive Moves: Thunderbolt, Flash Cannon, Electric Terrain, Hidden Power Fire (Feel free to recommend changes to the sets and tell me how you feel about them or recommend other Pokemon entirely) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
