    i'd go with hitmontop. why? i dunno, it's a cutie, and all it's weaknesses are covered by your team anyway.

    anywho, you don't need to give hitmontop full sp def evs. give it 252 HP/164 SP DEF/92 ATK. also, get rid of stone edge for pursuit. does extra damage to blissey before it switches out.

    oh and finally, give steelix explosion or roar instead of toxic. toxic is such a failure on steelix.
     
    roar is also a failure as i hear. thanks for advice...i want to use hitmontop as well, but team wise i was unsure if it would be good. hitmontop aerial ace: hera death
