This is it

Hello. I'm trying to find a final pokemon for my team. Here it is.

Maybe Chandelure (with flash fire) because scizor. Meganium is out because I can't get it to work like I want it to. Celebi is legendary.Serperior...... I dunno. So what would you guys choose?

[E17teliomi5]

Oh, and I no longer have Serperior, I need to update my Trainer Card.

I would suggest chandelure with shadow tag so you can trap stuff like ferro, scizor, ect. Also its really fun to use it to mess with Shade . Here's the set I run. It's the standard choice scarf set.

BONG! (Chandelure) (M) @ Choice Scarf

Trait: Shadow Tag

EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd

Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

- Heat Wave/Fire Blast/Flamethrower

- Shadow Ball

- Energy Ball

- Hidden Power [ice]

I used to use fire blast but I found it would miss a lot in crucial moments in battles and it just proved to be too unreliable. I switched to heat wave because of the prevalence of doubles and triples in the league. Flamethrower is also an option if you want to make sure you don't miss.

Wouldn't two Ghosts make the team particularly weak to Dark and Ghost?

[Joker]

Maybe Empoleon? He resists Dark, Ghost, Rock, and Bug(I think). Correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, I'd say he would be your best bet, and his weaknesses are covered by Gengar and Xatu. Worth a shot, at least. Just be wary of Electric type Pokemon/moves.

Two Xatus?

[E17teliomi5]

One's a ditto bt I think there was a screwup of some sort. And Empoleon or Chandelure..... I think Empoleon..... Gets Stealth Rocks, surf, scald, roost i think, aerial ace aqua jet, etc. I'll try both.

[E17teliomi5]

Yup. Empoleon it is. A pity it doesn't get roost.

[Livitz]

This is just me, but I wouldn't have DT on Scrafty. It might be a good idea to get crunch instead, this Scrafty isn't the most ideal poke to phaze. Empoleon's standard set is SR / Roar / Scald / Ice Beam, because mixed empoleon doesn't work that well. However, if you are successful with this, then just stay with it.

[E17teliomi5]

So my team *was* Hitmontop, Lanturn, Gengar, Xatu, Scizor, and Volcarona (before I had to reinstall PO.) So: Any improvements on the type coverage, do you think?

[E17teliomi5]

Right...... Now it's Lanturn(or vaporeon), Electivire, Scizor, Xatu, Gengar, Volcarona. Any more pointers....?

[chasedawg98]

I think you should go with vaporeon instead of lantern. It has a more diverse movepool, generally it's bulkier than lanturn, it can provide much appreciated wish support, it can provide heal bell support, and it can effectively phaze .
