problem with them is that they don't really offer much on that team, rhydon could possibly do it actually because it's kinda like aggron in the sense that it could probs tank explosions and shrug off every physical hit, but the problem with that is being weak to metas mmash unlike aggron which lives even CB comfortably so in the end it's kinda just like having a worse aggron on that team even if you have a really strong eq. marowak is really not an option because theres no way for me to get off more than +1 speed with the setup i have (also means rhydon needs a salac berry, which obviously isn't an option for wak), and it's just not fast enough at +1

always looking for input though, rhydon one had me thinking about why i'd rather want aggron for a bit, so thanks for the suggestions!

Ah very valid points. Do think I'd prefer losing to a cb m mash than losing automatically to the much more common eq. Although both have similar stats, I do think aggron is a bit better at switching into attacks with its typing. Once they are in though, rhydon would deal more damage with its excellent stabs and nice powerful coverage moves.

As for wak, what you said made total sense. Does sort of seem like it could do somewhat better than medicham with its decent bulk even if it's a bit slow. That speed is an issue though. Guess it's better for agility pass then.
