Infinix Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) My current team is Lanturn, Typhlosion, Primeape, Ariados, (insert HM Slave), and Emolga rotating Mr.Mime. I am starting to hate using typhlosion and I need a replacement as most of the time he just ends up being used once and being dead weight for a long while before being useful again. I'm right at the point of facing Serra and I plan on discarding him after beating her. So let me get straight to the point, I need someone that can cover the weaknesses of my 4 pokemon lanturn primeape ariados and emolga while not being despicably overpowered one shotting everything(aka no mindless facerollers). A bulky physical tank would probably be a good idea as I'm kinda lacking in the tanking department but I'll be taking every idea into consideration.

CoolTrainerGary Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Krookodile covers your Psychic weakness from Ariados & Primeape and it's pretty bulky especially considering Intimidate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shushup Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 You can get a Growlithe? Growlithe can also get Thunder Fang, via Heart Scale. So you all gotta do is be faster than those water types~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacos Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 A steel type like magnezone would cover your rock weaknesses, ice weakness, psychic weakness, flying weakness, and grass weakness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinix Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 A steel type like magnezone would cover your rock weaknesses, ice weakness, psychic weakness, flying weakness, and grass weakness. Ok so I've decided to pick a steel type from these 2: Bronzong Escavalier The only reason I'm not going for magnezone is because that would be way too many electric types on my team and ground would literally dump on me because more often than not ground pokemon have both rock and ground moves. If magnezone was faster, then maybe he would be a better choice but that 4x weakness against ground is too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggron this beast has only been used by the champion in his game debutes he is so defensive he can toake on a garchomps eq and still live easily you wan AGGRON for Steel Type PRESIDENT 2014 vs LUCARIO wow passionate lol... but aggron is a defensive tank, but 4x weakness to ground AND fighting with both of those gyms coming up? dont think so. escavalier can be a big help against the next gym leaders (ice,normal,psychic,dark) so i would probably run overcoat with iron head, x-scissor, fell stinger(move tutor) and your choice for this move Edited April 30, 2014 by RebornRanger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chacal Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 You can get an aggron if you need a tank in your team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzylard Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 So many people passionate about Aggron.If you have the willingness to die to get a Tauros into Byxbysion Wastelands, INVEST IN A BELDUM. It will be moderately hard to catch (and then, get a good nature with acceptable IVs), but once you do, oh man is the pain coming. Metagross is the only (correct me if I'm wrong, because that will make my day to find out there's another) pseudo-legendary currently available right now. That's scary. Plus, it even has a decent moveset available JUST by leveling up (bullet punch, zen headbutt, hammer arm, meteor mash). With the explosion TM, you can guarantee one kill against any leader. Metagross, motherfucker, metagross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
