Thanks for the help! Now its down to Empoleon or Lunatone. Lunatone gives good support to the team while seeping, but Empoleon and use agility. Unfortunatley I can only afford one and I need help with the final decision.
Lunatone or Empoleon?

I'd go empoleon, I've never been fond of lunatone. but it can switch into EQ, which is always a plus.

I'm not too keen on life orb since its other weaks to common types (fighting, ground, electric) hurt it enough. I prefer lum on it actually, I've been Twaved a million times :0

I agree. the only thing I would put a life orb on is something like a spiritomb, but thats just me. I never would have thought of Empoleon on my own. I'm 89.038452% sure that I'm going with the bird.

I guess that's why they say 94% of all statistics are made up. :p

No they're not :/ you have to know them to win :/

And life orb on spiritomb? Isn't that thing a wall? That I wouldn't advise you do.

i'm so not fond of agility empoleon. sure, give it specs with some bulk, but agility? what will that solve? ._.

it might OHKO one poke if your opponent didn't expect it, then it gets walled.

It's good for late game when nothing can outspeed it. It becomes a monster in the right hands. Agilipoleon is quite underrated.

late game? correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't cressy, blissey and the bunch late-game walls? that's why belly drum / revenge kill sets are considered good for late game.

Yeah, I'm off today :/

EARLY game it can do a bit, but you'll want to cripple that special wall first. Once you get it into killing range, you're probably going to win. If your opponent isn't properly prepared and you can destroy their wall, ouch...but specs is obviously a fine option. I probably shouldn't try to justify myself with how I've been today ;)
