Dunno, this is sorta a filler. Any replacements?

I had skamory over this, but I wanted to try this out even though I'm not too fond of fit. Lack of spikes and no ground immunity does hurt sometimes, but not being owned by aerodactyl/tyranitar/raikou/magneton/zapdos and a bunch of other crap is a godsend. The evs do need help, though. Is rest a good choice?

Ryan got me into using reflect, it works good even though I haven't used it a lot/ Should I go grass?

Stalklax. I'm thinking about return since the recoil does bite me in the *** when I can't rest.

I'm thinking about adding a bulky water somewhere.

Comments/Concerns/Suggestions are appreciated.

Right away, I notice a Heracross weak. It SEs on FOUR of your guys, and it ohkos Raikou with CBMegahorn. Salamence is a problem, since Starmie is 2HKO'ed by CB HP Flying, and the dragon happens to SE on 4 of your guys. Same goes to Aerodactyl. Tyranitar can also be a pain, since Steelix is 2HKO'ed by a DD'ed EQ. You can't safely switch into Metagross too. I guess Reflect can help you with the phys.weak, but what if the physical sweeper gets in before you reflect?

I would just replace Steelix with a better phys. wall.

And yeah, there is sort of a huge DDtar weak. Sceptile can be taken out for a bulkier water than Starmie should remove some of the weakness. But a Skarmory > Steelix might be better. And replacing Sceptile to cover tar would be good.

What I use. Not sure whether protect would be good though.

urr, there is no better physical wall then steelix

also how does replacing steelix with skarm help against DDtar, DDtar needs 2 DDs to 2hko Lix, and at least Steelix hits it with STAB EQ, while skarm gets Taunted and Rock Slided away while doing like 9% with Drill Peck

actually, it needs only 1. DD'ed EQ from DDTar does 53% minimally to that Steelix (taking that spread into account)

depends on the attack of the Tyranitar, it rarely has max attack
