[Dragon Tamer Ed]

I'd use Foretress or Torkoal, since a lot of your pokemon can't take many physical hits.

Well, you could get rid of Gliscor altogether and use a Forretress - that thing learns both Spikes/Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin. Plus he's one of the better physical walls. Either way, a bulky Steel type always help on a team.

Oh, and don't use Flame Orb on Milotic... it may activate Marvel Scale, but any wall is highly annoyed when their HP is being chipped away every turn. Just switch her into a Thunder Wave, since she's not gonna be outrunning anyone important either way.

Hey, Richard, you didn't suggest Claydol! Although, it might not suit this particular team.

 

[BrainDamage]

well in that case, ill bring rhyperior back and replace gliscor with forretress

 

[Samson]

i dunno, claydol could fit quite well with this team consider it has a x2 electric weak, x2 rock weak, and could definitely use some light screen support.

 

[Towlie]

Then Claydol will give it x3 Ice weak.

I'd go with Forretress for balance, although I like Donphan as a spinner.

 

[sims796]

Donny will still give it an ice weakness. Besides, Milotic can handle ice easily. Especially considering what Claydol btings to the table.

 

[BrainDamage]

or how bout i replace gliscor with steelix. then for my rapid spinner use torkoal?

 

[sims796]

Hmm, Torkoal. Might work. Slow as hell, but great def. Be careful of sp.atks.

 

[BrainDamage]

ot perhaps blastoise. altho i then might have to replace milotic... hitmonlee, hitmonchan, or hitmontop can work cause they have sp. def.

 

[Samson]

only hitmontop learns rapid spin of the three. it could be a decent rapid spinner considering it is quite bulky. can also be used as a heracross counter with aerial ace, and also utilize it for 90 BP Mach Punch to finish foes off. i personally love hitmontop and use it as a starter.

also, as mentioned, claydol would give the team a x3 ice weak, but with light screen, it just about depletes that notion, and even then, the team would also have a x3 ice resistance (when he had forretress).

 

[BrainDamage]

samson to correct you, yes all three can because rapid spin is a egg move of tyrogue. checked serebii myself. also, i decided to replace giscor with steelix. so now my main decision is deciding between hitmontop and claydol
