I have need of one final team member before the elite four. Here is the team so far.

;450; Hippowdon
nature - brave
-EQ
-ice fang
-slack off
-thunder fang/yawn (Not sure yet)

;392; Infernape
Nature - naive
-Fire blast
-close combat
-Slack off
-Flare blitz

;094; Gengar
Nature - hasty
-Thunder bolt
-shadow ball
-focus blast
-sub

;430; Honchkrow
Nature - Hardy
-wing attack
-faint attack
-steel wing
-fly

;419; Floatzel
Nature - adamant
-aqua jet
-quick attack (to be replaced by waterfall)
-crunch
-ice fang

So I need a 6th any suggestions? I have not cared to much about natures to this point because this is not a competitive team. Any comments or suggestions other than an addition is welcome. Thank you.
 
If you do need a last one, then I'd recommend Roserade over anyone, especially when dealing with Bertha's Wishcash and Quagsire (who has double team/protect), as well as Cynthia's Gastrodon.

A second recommendation would be Luxray/Raichu. However, I'd take Roserade over them simply to deal with the Water/Ground combos. The fact that you don't have any grass moves makes Roserade more important. Give it Energy Ball.
 
I agree a grass type is a good choice. I think I may get my friend to catch me a tangela from HG, in lue of using a roserade and having to evolve it and all that. Thanks for the input.
 
Infernape has a great nature for mixed sweeping, so you can go one of two ways.

First of all, is to ditch Slack Off since you're a hybrid of two very frail types. Replace
it with Thunder Punch and replace Fire Blast with Overheat for more power. This way
you can get great coverage and have an extremely powerful one-shot move for
desperate times.

Second of all, you can keep Fire Blast, but have Grass Knot for Water, Ground
and Rock types. Again, replace Slack Off with Grass Knot.
