Salamence cannot take on the fighters like Machamp, Hera, Lucario and Medicham. All of them either pack Stone Edge of Ice Punch, all of them usually have boosts (first and last CB, middle two Swords Dance)

But what does Spiritomb achieve? What can it do in return to those pokemon?

Burn all but Hera and Machamp. It can also PP stall them. But I do need a reliable fighting resist.

PP Stall them? Are you serious? What set are you going to be running? btw, what happens when you run into those Swords Dancer's you were going on about? Oh, you'll be ok, just PP stall them...X_X

I'm just saying, Spiritomb handles fighters MUCH better than Mence does. Which is why I'm opting for either Weezing or something else.

No....it doesn't. I don't know how you get to that result. After intimidate, Stone Edge fails to OHKO Salamence (meaning 2HKO), and Stone Edge 2HKO's standard Spiritomb. Spiritomb can't do jack all for your team overall really, whereas Salamence actually has good resistences etc that you can rely on.

Salamence >>> Spiritomb

This doesn't mean you don't remove Salamence, you just DON'T USE SPIRITOMB.

You forgot to put Weezing in the equation =/

I might go Weezing, his only weakness can be supported by Metagross, 4x resists Psychic.

You can't cover all of the fighters with just one resist. Weezing has Gallade and Psycho Cut to fear, while Gliscor fears those Ice Punches. Your team has those coverages (Metagross), and Weezing can handle any fighting moves.

Thus, Weezing or Gliscor > others here.

After some testing, I've grown to like Specsluke quite a bit. It helps with my physical sweeping weakness, as well as helping me counter TTar much better (Stone Edges and Crunch's my friends)
But if I do add Specsluke; who could it go over?
