Ok. I am stuck between Azumarill and Machamp. Azumarill has its huge power trait, and with max. evs in attack, it could be strong. Machamp would get a boost in stab, and has already-high attack power. Plus, with max. evs in this, it would be realley strong, also. Could you help me decide upon which I should use on my team? Thanks in advance.

Either is a great choice, Azumarill is cool he isnt as commonly used imo.

i'd choose neither, tyranitar is the best, make sure its hp is maxed out in iv's and evs. it ll be able to survive a seismic toss from any pokemon.
i have a tyranitar but i messed up on it its iv's for hp wasnt maxed and it only reached 386. it was a waste of substitute.

I'd choose Azumarill. It's got a higher HP and thus its Substitutes will have more HP and will last longer.

Azumarill. Machamp is slower and can easily be KO'd if the trainer you're battling's using a fast Psychic Pokemon like Espeon and Alakazam. And Azumarill has more HP.

Click to expand...

sub punchers are better w/ lower speed, only an idiot would make a machamp face an alakazam and espeon etc.

He's picking a sub-puncher, not a sweeper, Dark Aerodactyl.
Anyway, the rules clearly state that 'choosing team member' threads DO NOT BELONG HERE.

Pick what ever one you want. Or, have both! This is in-game, so you can do whatever you want.

tyranitar, snorlax, azumarill. T-Tar and Azumarill because, with 31 IVs and 252 EVs, they can have 101 Subs (which snorlax also does, but doesn't need the EVs.)

azumarill's problem is that it has almost no other moves to use. your 3rd and 4th moves can be hydro pump, rest, return/body slam/double-edge.

'tar is just amazing. boah (one of the old competitive standards) has sub/punch/bolt/beam, and it just wrecks teams.

lax is better used as curselax or STalkLax.

I'd go with Azumarill. Pretty sure it has better defense then Machamp and with its decent HP, it should do pretty good.
