    I recently decided to continue playing HeartGold, and now I need a 6th pokemon for my team, but I don't know what should it be. Here is my current team:

    Togekiss Lv.64
    Psychic
    Aura Sphere
    Double-edge
    Fly

    Umbreon Lv.64
    Flash (I think I'll switch this move with something else)
    Shadow Ball
    Dark Pulse
    Screech

    Milotic Lv.66
    Hydro Pump
    Recover
    Surf
    Whirlpool

    Electivire Lv.62
    Thunderbolt
    Earthquake
    Thunder
    Rock Climb

    Glaceon Lv.61
    Ice Beam
    Mirror Coat
    Icy Wind
    Double Team

    I could also use some advice about my current team if I should switch something or something else.
    I was thinking about getting Ninetales, Lucario or Crobat as my 6th pokemon, but I'm not sure.
    Thanks ahead for advice
     
    Going to move this to In-game Team Rate for you as that's where such threads belong.

    You already have a flyer in Togekiss so Crobat would probably be the third choice there imo... I'll also suggest some different movs here and there e.g something instead of Double Edge for Togekiss (it's a superior special attacker), once you've been everywhere of importance via Whirlpool you might as well drop it (ice beam maybe?) - same for Rock Climb.
     
    Ah I understand. I think I have already visited all the Whirlpool and Rock Climb places so I'll probably unlearn it.
     
    I don't have all that much experience, but my personal mantra is to never have more than two pokemon with a common weakness, so I would personally not choose Crobat or Ninetales as three Pokemon would have a weakness to Electricity and Rock, respectively. Of those three, I'd advise a Lucario, but I'd go for something that's good against Electric types, i.e a ground type. That's just my opinion, though.
     
    Maybe I could get a poison type, something like Seviper or Drapion. However, Flygon (Ground-dragon) also seems as a good choice. hmm...
     
    Flygon might make a good choice if you want to level up a trapinch till it learns fissure, then make it learn supporting moves with tm s, but I would probably go with a Lucario as well.
     
    Very nice team if i was u id go with magmorter
     
    My choice has come down to three pokemon, Aggron, Lucario and Gallade. Now I just need to decide. I think I'll get Aggron, but I'm not sure
     
    Don't mean to be a spanner in your works here, but reading about your Pokemon team, I would definitely say the one thing you're lacking is a powerful Fire type. It's been a long time since I played HeartGold or SoulSilver, but your original choice for a fire type (Ninetales) would suit the position aptly. If you could get hold of Ho-Oh or Moltres, they would also do a fabulous job of covering the fire base. But if you're looking for something a little more off the beaten track, you could always consider Camerupt. True, he does take quadruple damage from Water type moves, but his combination of Fire and Ground type makes him near invincible to everything beside it. The fact it also learns Eruption, Rock Slide, Earthquake, Earth Power and Fissure, just to name a few, also means it's never short on capable attacks.

    Just thought I'd put that out there. If you are determined to go with one of three you listed above me, then I'd go with Gallade. It's Psychic/Fighting type combo make it a difficult one to beat.

    Best of luck :)
     
    That's really helpful. I though from beggining I was lacking a Fire type, but I wasn't sure. I think I'll go with Ninetales, even though I have Ho-oh, but I don't like using legendaries so I wont. I'll check some other Fire types, I may choose Camerupt, but I think I'll go with Ninetales.

    Thanks for the advice, it really was helpful, now I can peacefully choose 6th pokemon for my perfect pokemon team XD
     
    No trouble, my pleasure to help. I was second-thinking it actually, Ho-Oh's double-type (Fire and Flying) may be more of a disadvantage than an advantage anyway, it gives him, I believe, three weaknesses, one of which does quadruple damage to him. This does draw equal with Ninetales (Who also has three weaknesses) but falls short of Camerupt, who only has one weakness. I think you should definitely contemplate Camerupt. I had a level 73 Camerupt on one of my games with Rock Slide, Eruption, Flamethrower and Earthquake, and it was near indestructible. Haha.

    Out of curiousity, have you contemplated Arcanine?
