  • Magneton has 13 resistances and great sp.atk but bad speed and and a 4x weakness to ground. earthquake will just be a full accuracy fissure.
    Manetric has less sp. atk and defences, but its much faster and it oly has a 2x weakness to ground.
    Jolteon is a beast. avg. defence, but unrivaled speed and a brilliant sp. atk.

    Conclusion: Get Jlteon if you can trade but otherwise go with magneton

    Also I was thinking of having a physical tank or whatever atm I am training up a muk because I cant get a snorlax or a Blissey.

    I dont particularily want to use Muk becuase of it's weaknesses to Ground and physic

    Is there any pokemon that you would recomend to replace Muk?

  • Regirock or Registeel should be good physical tanks. Steelix isn't too bad either. In any case, Shuckle is ultimately the best physical tank provided you make full use of its extreme defenses.

    Shuckle can't hit anything though. I'd go with Skarmory for a physical tank. If you breed drill peck onto it you'll have an excellent STAB attack.

  • What about a Volt Tackle Raichu for something a little different?

    The one I'm using is a bit useless with the moveset it has mind you - I've bred moves to pretty much only support that move.

    Volt Tackle
    Charge
    Wish
    Sweet Kiss

    Useless in any real varied battle, but I like it.
    :P
