    Third member needed for my battle frontier team (tower)

    <Cervantes>
    Salamence - (ADAMANT) 'Intimidate' w/shell bell
    EV's 252 Att / 252 Spd
    - Dragon Dance
    - Earthquake
    - Rock Slide
    - Aerial Ace

    <Twinkle>
    Starmie - (MODEST) 'Natural Cure' w/focus band
    EV's 252 SAtt / 252 Spd
    - Surf
    - Ice Beam
    - Thunderbolt
    - Recover

    This is what i was thinking and why the items are the way they are. In fact ignore the items i'll adjust after i decide on a 3rd member.

    <The Dude>
    Snorlax - (CAREFUL) 'Thick Fat' w/lefties
    EV's 176 Att / 136 Def / 156 SDEF / 42 HP
    - Curse
    - Body Slam
    - Shadowball
    - Rest

    I still have my curselax cherry. I wanted to avoid using him because he seemed really popular but i can't resist anymore. I went with Body Slam over Return/Frustration for the coolness factor and Shadowball over Earthquake because he's there to eat ice beams for my salamence who uses EQ. Plus it should help with those pesky Gengars.

    what is the point of recover starmie when you got no defensive evs and lax!
    it would be wise to have a flail/reversaler counter on this too
     

    Basically i have recover because when something can get it i usually give it. Plus in game i don't need a rapid spinner, pyschic is covered by aerial ace salamence, and thunder wave is fun but i prefer recover. I'd really like your opinion on curselax though cause i never used him and i know he's a pain and noobs like me overuse him but thats why i specifically avoided him when i started. Now i can't resist anymore plus I keep shuffling through third party members for my battle tower team and he seems like the logical choice. I never ran into a flail/rev problem but special sweeps always end my streaks (bolt/beam) hence curselax. My main questions are ev's ok <30-31 IV's in main stats> and will i regret choosing thick fat over immunity since he'll be my salamence icebeam eater. I was thinking he'll just rest off poisons anyway.

    Thick Fat is the standard. No one uses Immunity not only because Snorlax has Rest, but because Fire and Ice attacks are far more common than Poison.

    Return over Body Slam if you think you have good relationships with your Pokemon.

    Thick Fat is a huge advantage to me because its almost like Fire and Ice isn't very effective.
     

    They arent very effective with thick fat. Body Slam wins due to paralysis... You post bad no offence
