Physical Wall for Shiny Team of 3
 
Yes, that's what I need. My current team of shinies needs a physical wall to cover their weaknesses. Who should I use? The team will have:

[email protected] Scarf
Careful nature
-Ice Fang
-Crunch
-Earthquake
-Surf

[email protected] Glasses
Calm nature
-Dark Pulse
-Flamethrower
-Nasty Plot
-Will-o-Wisp

My 3rd pokemon needs to be a physical wall but I don't know which one would best fit. Suggestions plz. Oh, I can only find shinies through Pokeradar so do NOT take Egg moves into consideration, and only pokemon that can be found in the grass can be added.

go to serebii and look at the stat listings for defense if you're absolutely unsure what you want there.

Have done. Still deciding. There are a few good choices but I don't know which one would best benefit my team.

For someone who can take alot of physical attacks I would go with either Scizor, Steelix, Scarmory, or Donphan.

If you're going for a physical Sharpedo, you'd need to replace Surf with Waterfall.

Nutrisweet, i wouldn't go with waterfall. surf is for those with a high defense. against a Gliscor or Rhyperior, Waterfall is a joke of a move, but Surf takes them out in one hit. also, Sharpedo's sp atk stat is good enough and doesn't need any EVs to OHKO those who usually have higher defenses. in replacing Waterfall for Surf, it gives Sharpedo the advantage to OHKO/2HKO physical walls for the cost of not being able to OHKO fire types with Surf, which makes no change considering that (1) you have EQ and (2)very few people would leave a fire type in with Sharpedo. it's basically a plus/plus decision.

;D I see. I'll reconsider my Sharpedo.

Well thanks for your help guys. But after much thought, I decided to go with Gliscor. Its good Attack and Defense, and immunity to Earthquake and Sandstorm, were all positive factors, but its ability to learn Roost sealed the deal. I would've gone with Skarmory for the same reasons but it is just too overused. Besides, I caught my shiny Gligar this morning.

Now I need someone to check my Gliscor moveset:

[email protected]
-Earthquake
-Brick Break/Thunder Fang
-Toxic (I need one annoyance move)
-Roost

give it aerial ace/night slash for incoming special sweepers. aerial ace is preferable for STAB, but night slash could do well vs Ghosts and Psychics. if you're using gliscor for Battle Tower, there's no point in toxic. if you're using it for competitive battling, then i suggest swords dance.
