I'm about to fight Serra, and I figured now's as good a time as any to get some feedback on my team. Here's my main team so far. Everyone listed is between levels 47 and 49.
Infernape
Ability: Iron Fist
Close Combat
Mach Punch
Fire Pledge
Taunt
Roserade
Ability: Natural Cure
Giga Drain
Venoshock
Leech Seed
Toxic Spikes
Jellicent
Ability: Cursed Body
Brine
Hex
Acid Armor
Recover
Golem (the normal kind, not the Alolan kind)
Ability: Sturdy
Stealth Rock
Rock Blast
Earthquake
Explosion
Granbull
Ability: Intimidate
Bite
Headbutt
Play Rough
Roar
Murkrow
Ability: Prankster
Wing Attack
Foul Play
Roost
Taunt
Thing is, Murkrow just isn't cutting it so far. It's situationally useful thanks to Prankster and Taunt, but other than that it has practically no offensive or defensive ability. Part of the reason I have Taunt on my Infernape is because Murkrow has a disturbing tendency to die on the first turn it's out. Evolving it into Honchkrow would consume a Dusk Stone, and my impression of Honchkrow is that while it hits harder, it loses Prankster and does not really get any faster or tankier. In fact, it gets slower when it evolves.
So, I'm looking to replace it with something a bit more useful. I know that without Murkrow, my team becomes a lot more vulnerable to Ground and Psychic attacks, so are there any Pokémon I can access that would fill that role?
