I don't see the point in hp electric heatran if you have charge cress.

It's just a back up just incase cress dies or somthing.

Ok who should i replace for another ice type pokemon? I was thinking maybe donphan or gliscor?

Edit: If i take out Gliscor i could kill Heracross with donphan. Like switch into it's close combat and it will be locked into it that attack with CB and just keep playing the switching game. Not really countering but sort of like revenge killing.

Well i can't only have one electric move on the team and hope it kills gyarados. What if cresselia dies before i even see a gyarados and anyway i don't like exploding heatren since he's the only fire type i got there.

Why not, if the pokemon with the electric attack is one of the most reliable counters for gyara.

Yes he has a good point there but i where to replace hidden power electric on heatran then the only other option is to put explosion instead of hidden power electric and i don't want to use explosion since i don't want to blow it up since it's the only fire type i have that really helps the team.

And what pokemon should i ditch to shove another ice type in there? I am thinking Gliscor at the moment.

Edit: Also i love your sig toxic lol it's so funny.

you don't need hp electric for back up.
if cress dies, it's because gyara got a dd and did something like a flinch waterfall.

by which point it will be faster than heatran and you won't get the chance to electric it.

so like toxic said, grass > electrics.

Oh yeah i forgot about hidden power [grass] i thought the only move that could go there would be explosion.

Ok hidden power grass it is then and what pokemon should i take out for another ice type pokemon to make use of the hail? Right now i'm think gliscor.

Waaaaaat, no 32 turns of stall? ;_; sob. IMO if you're going to make a hail team you may aswell use the only thing that its got going for it, wallrein.

It looks more like a hail team. Up untill this thread i didn't realise how bad hail was, if only there was a stat boost like the sandstorm spdef boost for rocks

Do you think i should squeeze in one more ice pokemon in there or should i leave it as it is?

Yes hail teams do fail but it's part of my goal to create these sorts of teams and also i might redo my sandstorm team and delete the other crappy sandstorm team i made.

Cloyster's an Ice rapid spinner isn't it? If I recall, it also gets spikes, so with Gliscor you can set up spikes + rocks.

Yes but if i had cloyster then it would hurt my team even more when steath rock is down. So it would be hard to switch in and out an then rapid spin.

But i changed the team around alittle so what do you think of the team now?

Have you considered frolass, she gives you a decent special attacker and is also ice
