It is very strong when it has those attacks. I can;t really explain much more.

Answer 2

what about ur starter pokemon?

Answer 3

At just a quick look over your team, you have quite the Fighting weakness, since Lapras, Snorlax and Lucario are all weak to Fighting type attacks.  So anyone suggesting he add another pokemon weak to fighting isn't really helping.

I also notice you have 2 pokemon (Lapras and Snorlax) who have good Special Defense, but none of your pokemon have notable physical defense.

So to combine a pokemon who resists fighting attacks, and has good physical defense, I suggest Weezing for your team.

Weezing @ Leftovers  [Levitate]

Bold      252 HP / 252 Defense / 6 Special Attack

Flamethrower

Thunderbolt

Pain Split

Will-O-Wisp

The idea here is to use Flamethrower and Thunderbolt to take out opposing pokemon.  Both deal a decent amount to Skarmory, and Thunderbolt can take out Water types who resist Flamethrower.

Sludge Bomb is an option over either attack.  It won't be hitting many pokemon for Super Effective damage, however it will deal Neutral damage to most opposition.

Will-O-Wisp works in tandem with your already high defense stat, effectively crippling all their physical sweepers, by lowering the oppositions attack stat to 1/2 what it was initially.

Pain Split can be used to heal Weezing, assuming you are up against a pokemon with more remaining HP than Weezing.  This is perfect fodder for Blissey, since a lot of people will bring in the queen of Sponges to absorb Weezing's entirely Special moveset, and so Pain Split will most likely heal Weezing completely, whilst putting a large dint in Blissey's overall HP.

Also, Weezing would add 2 useful attack types to your team.

I would suggest Close Combat over Aura Sphere on Lucario, since after a Swords Dance, even your average Blissey falls fowl of that monstrous attack.

Hope this is of some use, if you want, I can do the damage calculations to show you the potential damage of the aforementioned pokemon, but I felt that the suggestions should probably suffice.

Good luck with this team, seems pretty solid overal.  I fear a team with Spikes AND Stealth Rock could really s***w you over though.

Hmm... Just thinking of other pokemon that you might like for the team.

If you wanted a pokemon that can sweep in a similar vein to Garchomp, then I was thinking that a Scyther could fit pretty nicely.

Scyther@Salac Berry

Adamant  252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP

Endure / Substitute

Reversal

X-Scissor

Aerial Ace.

He doesn't add particularly to your weaknesses, and resists fighting attacks with ease.

Use Endure / Substitute to activate Salac Berry (it's probably easiest to use Substitute.  Switch in on a Stealth Rock, and then 1 Substitute should activate Salac Berry, assuming your HP is divisible by 4).

Reversal will then be raised in power massively.  If you use Endure, and get 1HP, then Reversal has 200 Power.  And before you use Endure, it gains Technician boost, and so still works.

Aerial Ace gains STAB, and Technician Boost.  X-Scissor can be replaced by Swords Dance, if you think you'll be able to use it (since you'll most likely have a substitute to hide behind).

Answer 4

A fire type Pokemon would blend nicely with your above team. Use a Tysposion, or a Blazikan to spice up your rotation.

Answer 5

Chansey or Blissey would be the best sixth Pokemon.

They both have really high HP so they are good for defense. They can learn basically all good moves. If you can get your hands on the Ice Beam, Flamethrower and Thunderbolt TM, then teach it to either one. The final move should be Softboiled. If you can't get those TMs, then just go with Fire Blast, Blizzard and Thunder.

The reason I say these moves is because you need all of those types in your party. But, if you don't want the Ice type attack because you have Lapras, then Grass Knot would be the next best move. Actually, put Grass Knot instead of the Ice type move.

Blissey is obviously better than Chansey, but either is fine.

Answer 6

I assume that you don't want legendaries, try to get an Arcanine if you can swing it, if you are willing to get a legendary then you should get a Mewtwo that knows Ice Beam, Psychic, Focus Blast, and shadow ball

Answer 7

Personally, I think a fire, electric or grass type would compliment your team.  Perhaps Magmortar for the fire type.  For electric, Ampharos is personaly one of my favorite.  And for Grass, Torterra or Venasaur would be a good bet.  

Answer 8

i think you should get a different type of pokemon like a grass or steel type. empoleon would be a great pokemon because its defenes are great and its attack is great to.
