Goodra outclasses it in pretty much every respect as a special wall, and has a better movepool and better ability. The only thing Dragalge has over Goodra is neutral defence against Fairy, and STAB poison to hit said Fairy.

Which, as you know, garchomp can do just as well and still have the ability to do other things.

The problem I see with people trying to use Garchomp as fairy killer is that it fails to net OHKOs against some of the more prevalent ones, namely Azumarill and Togekiss even with Choice Band, who in turn can deal heavy damage to it and effectively fulfill their duty by getting your Chomp out of the way. In my opinion it is better to let someone like Rotom-W or Scizor take care of them before you start pulling the big guns out.

Running Poison Jab also means losing out on some coverage, with Poison only being super effective against 2 types and most relevant Grass Pokemon having a convenient sub-typing that protects them from it (I'm looking at you, Ferrothorn).

I'm wondering who I should use for Entry Hazards

I have:
Aegislash
Venusaur (w/ Venusaurite)
Heracross
Togekiss

I would prefer not to change any pokemon, but I need two more Pokemon. I'd love to use a Blissey, but even at level 50 I can't EV train because of the poor attack stat

you can always use horde battles + EXP. Share or the super training
 
I run SD megachomp with poison jab as otherwise, Togekiss would wall it completely. Naturally it means Pokemon like Skarmory become troublesome, but...

+2 252 Atk MegaGarchomp Dragon Claw vs. 224 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 90-107 (27.52 - 32.72%) (possible 4HKO)

it's not terrible, and I have plenty of ways to deal with a Skarm.

Blissey is great, but allow me to make the following proposition: Hydreigon

It has perfect synergy with Aegislash, being able to hurt other Ghost- and Fire types very effectively with Dark Pulse and Surf, respectively, as well as the ability to switch into them without troubles and it can furthermore also pack a big punch with Draco Meteor. While Hydreigon would normally be crippled by its typing, his fairy weakness serves to provide free switch-ins for Aegislash as most fairies will be unable to touch it, essentially giving you a free Swords Dance.

I would personally recommend Galvantula for entry hazards. It may not be as compatible with Aegislash, but Heracross, Togekiss, Hydreigon, and Venusaur to a degree all appreciate the additional agility it provides.

Bulbasaur
Muk
Tauros
Primeape
Snorlax (Orange Islands)

There's also Squirtle and Kingler, although they are redundant if you're using Lapras.

This is all assuming that you're basing it off of Ash when he was in Kanto and Orange Islands lol

Thanks, I decided I'll probably end up using Snorlax in the sixth spot just because it can finish off an electric Pokemon if it defeats the rest of my team, so my Ash run team will be this eventually:

Pikachu with eviolite
Charizard
Butterfree
Pidgeot
Lapras
Snorlax

With exp share, and super training, your Blissey won't need to fight for EVs.
 
I have my experience share turned off at all times. I think it ruins the game. Dos anyone else feel this way?
 
I've never liked experience share. I like leveling up the old fashioned way. It takes forever and it involves many healing items/trips to the Pokecenter, but I feel like a proud mother when a previously frail Pokemon is now kicking ass and taking names.
 
Can someone help me choose a dragon type pokemon? It's between Noivern and Garchomp. I need a flying type on my team, but I wanted to use Garchomp :'c

I just passed the third gym btw, and none of my pokemon are evolved (I like to lvl them up). Here's my team so far:

Froakie
Torchic
Bulbasaur
Espurr

I am planning on getting a shiny Sylveon as my last pokemon <3
 
I'm in Dendemille with 6 Gym Badges and a full team. It's all snowy and I have to go explore this cave thing... Also, sky battles are fun.

-Greninja
-Charizard Y
-Gallade
-Sylveon
-Lucario
-Flygon
 
My completed Pokemon main and post-game X run:

Greninja (Froggie) level 70
Goodra level 70
Florges (Flower) level 70
Aegislash (Sword) level 70
Hawlucha (Bird) level 70
Venusaur level 60


Reset my Y yesterday late night and started my Ash run. I just now got the first gym badge:

Trainer name: Ash Ketchum
Pikachu level 12
Pidgey level 11
Butterfree level 10

You could always create an alternative team after or before you've finished the game, or just have an extra pokemon in the PC boxes. That's what I'm doing :)
