    Here's a team I am working on and I need advice for it. When finished, it should look like this:

    1) Sharpedo@Choice Scarf
    Careful
    Trait: Rough Skin
    -Crunch
    -Earthquake
    -Waterfall
    -Ice Fang

    2) Houndoom@Wise Glasses
    Calm
    Trait: Early Bird :(
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Nasty Plot
    -Flamethrower
    -Dark Pulse

    3) Slowbro@Leftovers
    Trying for Bold
    Trait: Don't care what I get
    -Slack Off
    -Psychic (I'm choosing this over Surf so I can hit most other Water types)
    -Ice Beam (For Garchomp/Salamence)
    -Calm Mind

    4) Roserade@Big Root
    Trying for Timid
    Trait: Trying for Natural Cure
    -Toxic Spikes
    -Aromatherapy
    -Leech Seed
    -Giga Drain

    5) Salamence@Life Orb
    Trying for Naughty/Rash
    Trait: Intimidate
    -Earthquake
    -Dragon Claw/Dragon Pulse
    -Flamethrower/Thunderbolt
    -Roost

    6) This is the main problem. I don't know who else to use. I'm looking for a defensive poke but don't know which one would work best. Can someone help me?

    When rating this team, keep in mind that it is a team of shinies, and Sharpedo and Houndoom have already been caught so neither they nor their natures can be changed. And don't tell me to use pokes that can't be found in grass as I need to use the Pokeradar to have a remote chance of aquiring this team.

    6) physical wall.

    surf for sharpedo is for foes with lower sp defense. trust me, you're gonna need it, and with a base sp attack of 95, you don't need much EVs for sp attack to OHKO physical walls like Gliscor who will actually survive several Ice Fangs.

    w/ flamethrower and dark pulse, you leave hondoom very vulnerable to so many threats. it'd be awesome if he got Drought as an ability, but unfortunately, he's left without much offenses to cover his defenses (Solarbeam).
     
    Thanks for the tips, samson, but aren't Sleep Powder and Hydro Pump Egg moves? I'm afraid they can't come into play here as there is no way I'm breeding for shinies. I see where you are coming from with Sharpedo and Houndoom but their -SAtk & -Atk natures respectively make their lives as mixed sweepers rather difficult. Sharpedo could probably manage it with some EV re-distribution but there is no way my Houndoom could pull it off. The thing about my team is that for a weakness one member has, another can cover it. Actually now I see why a physical wall should be in slot 6. Thanks again.

    And as for a physical wall, is this OK?:

    Tangrowth@Leftovers
    Bold
    Trait: Leaf Guard
    -Sunny Day
    -Giga Drain
    -Sleep Powder
    -Substitute
