Pokemon Advice Thread! Javelin's monopoly is no more!

I like using Articuno, Entei, and Lugi, but that's just about it.

If I'm not going with a sand team, it having Tyranitar even worth it? I really like him, but I have a feeling the sand is really going to get in the way of my team as well.

Your other choice was Blastoise, so I can recommend it. It's only weak to grass and electric and it can counter both of them with Ice Beam and Earthquake. However, don't be fooled by the Mega Evolution stats, there have been times when my Blastoise would go down in one hit or the opponent would hang on with a sliver of HP.

I was gonna run a Mega Launcher set. All the pulse and aura moves get a power boost.

Water Pulse
Dark Pulse
Aura Sphere
Rapid Spin

Good type coverage, but you can't do much against grass and electric types.

well the dark and fighting combo does neutral damage at least, but that still leaves mega blastoice open.

Sadly i cant think of anything else though as rapid-spin is a fantastic support move.

That's what team support is for. Ferrothorn laughs at your pathetic grass and electric moves.

Ferrothron laughs at everything that isnt fire or fighting, so lol(good choice btw, ferrothorn is awesome).

I know he is. I guess my biggest fear must be Blaziken then.

well if its speed boost blaziken any setup will be dangerous so yeah.

Of course jellicent makes a good counter to that, at times.
