On my HeartGold game.. I currently have a team of
Quilava
Munchlax
Metang
Yanma
Nidorino [shiny Rt 36]
I know there's weaknesses and Pokemon I just can't touch.. but my mindset is so set on using Pokemon I like.. and its not working out that well for me atm.
So any Pokemon ideas? Or move ideas? Switches?
I'm loving my Pokemon as individuals.. but there's no flow.
Evolve your Nidorino ASAP. Nidoking gets a great movepool if you're willing to use a few TMs.
You have three things weak to Ground. If that's proving a problem, you may want another flying type. You will also really want something with a powerful ice attack and good speed, to deal with Clair and Lance. Most waters will fit the bill. The Red Gyarados is an extremely obvious choice, but if you want something that not every kid uses, how about Golduck or Cloyster? Golduck's quite well rounded, and makes a great HM mule, but besides that has nothing too special. Cloyster's a bit on the slow side, but if you can get a +speed nature and pump it full of carbos you may be able to outspeed and nail the dragons. It's almost immune to physical hits, but watch out for special ones.
Typhlosion ROCKS with a specs set - you can get them from the Lake Of Rage I believe. Focus Blast and SolarBeam are decent ingame coverage options, being purchasable TMs, and Specs Swift deals with annoying evaders.
Once you evolve it, Snorlax will hit really hard. Rollout's a quirky option to have, and remember he can take Surf which even though it's off his worse offensive stat is nice to deal with Rock types, as well as giving your water type more room for moves.
Metang and Yanma I don't know much about, though certainly once Metang finally evolves to Metagross it'll pack a punch.
If you can find room for Sunny Day that will really make the suggested Typhlosion a force to reckon with, though most of the rest of your team won't like the weather.
