I think I used water before but wailord is the only one I can remember atm...I mostly preferred ground/steel/dragon/ghost/dark/psychic/fighting, and now fairy lol, but yea water type is a rarity amongst my teams. I started off with the grass dude but now I wished I started with the fire fennec fox one. I'm raising my gallade with sp def/def/speed with some attack. Was hoping for acrobatics so he can tank somewhat and do some decent damage, and have drain punch to help him tank more. He used to use Double Team as well. Once I get a reset bag I'm gonna make him pure hp/attk/speed build. Right now he has Bulk Up, Thunder Wave, Power-Up Punch and Close Combat.
Escavalier's attack stat is actually pretty decent, and I haven't put any EV training into it. I made her my pure tank build, HP/DEF/ SP DEF with Iron defense, Endure (gonna replace with another retaliate, I am loving that move), X-scissor (was megahorn, but the accuracy didn't make it worth it) and Iron Head. She is holding leftovers. I wanted to have King's Rock but the flinch chance is too low lmao, since iron head already has flinching chance I figured it'd be better with a HoT item.
Escavalier at lvl 61 has:
186 HP
169 DEF
162 SP DEF
and 172 Attack without the EV training.
She is one of my favorites now in the new gen, couldn't get her in BW. She has Swarm, I thought I'd like it but I want the capsulre thing to change it to the one that prevents crits.
