I'm bored and a good second(or first) opinion on all matters pokemon.

 

[GalacticPetey]

What do you think of this potential team?

Blaziken
Blastoise (Mega Blastoise)
Togekiss
Ferrorthorn
Noivern
???????

Not sure on number six.

 

[NotABannableOffense]

Assuming you're running a traditional Ferrothorn, you don't have much on Fairy Types. Ferrothorn is too frail and is designed to be slow to make use of Gyro Ball.

So run Gengar, or if you want something less Glass cannon-y run a steel type like Excadrill or Aggron.

Personally I'd go with Excadrill as 2 members of your team have a weakness to Electric attaks and one that would normally have a resistance is neutral.

Also, Excadrill is a beast.

I just thought of something else as well.

You might even get somewhere running Aegislash with Gyroball. That might turn out interesting.

 

[GalacticPetey]

Is Excadrill in X? Or will I have to wait until Pokemon Bank comes out?

 

[NotABannableOffense]

Excadrill can be found in Friend Safaris.

 

[Gumball Machine]

It's not in either version. You have to trade.

 

[NotABannableOffense]

Bulbapedia is not correct.

 

[GalacticPetey]

Yeah. Serebii says he's in Steel type safaris. They're much more up to speed than Bulbapedia.

 

[NotABannableOffense]

If you want I could trade you this one that I just caught.

It probably doesn't have great stats and is calm but w/e

 

[GalacticPetey]

That's why we have Dittos to pass down IVs.

 

[Gumball Machine]

Yeah. Serebii says he's in Steel type safaris. They're much more up to speed than Bulbapedia.

Right. Sorry about that. Been thinking about joining Bulbapedia so I can help them out a bit.

Anyway, I have a Zoroark, Trevenant and Aerodactyl I'm willing to part with once I get a Ditto.

Or if you want something simple, but effective, you could try catching a Helioptile.

 

[GalacticPetey]

He seems a little too frail for my tastes.

 

[Gumball Machine]

Once you teach it surf and evolve it, it only has fighting type moves to worry about.

 

[NotABannableOffense]

It's slower and more frail than Jolteon.

Also, fighting is a devastating weakness to have. So many pokemon have focus blast or hi jump kick because of fighting's good coverage
