Cloyster what do you think of this pokemon ?
 
Thinking of replacing my milotic with a diff pokemon, i dont really like the milotic much.

I was thinking of Kingdra but then i already have dragonite so what about a Cloyster ?

I have never used one

What do you think i think should get as a nature and where should i put the EV's ?

I was thinking a Impish Nature and Putting the EV's in Special Defense and HP, or HP and Attack, or Maybe HP/Speed ?

Im not totally sure TBH cuss his def is so high with Impish so i dont think i need to put EV's at least not many in there and his HP/SPDEF is so low i was thinking it would be best to go there.

What sorta moves do you think i should put on him? I was thinkin

Clamp
Spike Cannon
Spikes "or Toxic Spikes"
Explosion "Avalanche /iceshard ? "

Or change Impish to like Bold and have

Ice Beam
Surf
Spikes
Protect

Not totally sure but i plan to have the Skill link Ability.


If not cloyster then what do you guys think a good ice/water type that isnt extremely slow meaning like 50 and under. Or maybe i should go with fortress more hp less def tho, but he also doesnt have nearly as many weakness's only against fire

To get rid of Stealth Rock, Spikes and Toxic Spikes lol

Ah i wish the descriptions on the moves pokemon have would be a little more descriptive. even on serbuii it says the secondary affect just gets rid of Wrap and Bind affects nothing about spikes and stuff

Yeh I know they should really update those details, but anyways now you know that Rapid Spin blows those annoying rocks and spikes away

If the majority of your team are slow why not add a few Trick Room users in your team?

Cloyster only does around 50-70%-ish damage to Salamence and friends so Ice Beam is good even with Ice Shard if you want a reliable damaging move.

Problem is that they could just easily swap to a special waller as most people would probably predict Ice Shard/ Ice Beam from a Cloyster, but hey it never hurts to try.
