New addition

Puddle, Apr 2014: Probably HP. Just makes the most sense. I've seen some Greninjas use Shadow Sneak, so I guess attack could work, but I wouldn't advise it.

What do you think of this? (Pokemon team)

classiccartoonsftw, Apr 2014: As Ars Arcanum said, Exploud isn't a really good Pokemon. You should replace it with something like Swellow, Skarmory, or Zangoose. Also, you should give your Ninjask Silver Wind instead of Slash. If you're going to replace Shadow Ball, you...
