WHo should I add in?

Question

I'm going to be replacing Metagross on my Double-Battle team, and instead am going to add in either Gallade or Hypno. Who should I choose? My current Double-Battle team is: Charizard, Swampert, Ninjask, Lickilicky, Gengar, Metagross.

Hypno: Skill Swap, Protect, Toxic, Psychic

Gallade: Ice Punch, Close Combat, Psycho Cut, Night Slash

Answer 1

What's wrong with Metagross? He's got the physical power to take about anything on, and as a steel/psychic type, he has hardly any weaknesses. Hypno is okay, but he doesn't really stand out. But If you still want to change pokemon, go for Gallade, The only problem I have with him is his low defense paired with his pretty good speed.

I just want a little difference to my team.

I see. Perhaps an electric type? I don't know the movesets, but just typewise, you don't have much coverage against water types.

---

Well, I have Gengar with Thunderbolt.

---

Okay, I that was my first guess.

---

Do you think I should still get an Electric type?

---

Gengar is powerful enough to hold his own against water types, I was thinking that they're very common, so you needed some kind of coverage.

Answer 2

Hypno. Your team is already showing a weaker side for psychic types, and if you replace skill swap for hypnosis, you could knock out and poison your foe, switch to gengar, and use dark pulse/shadow ball.

WHat do you mean "weaker side for Psychic types"?

---

Your gengar is out easily, and most of your team is based on defense, not sp defense. psychics use sp defense in most of their moves

---

Gengar is fast enough tohit Psychics before they can get in a super-effective hit, Ninjask is a Bug type, Lickilicky has good Sp. Def and won't even be in battle long enough for that to matter, and Swampert also has fairly good Sp. Def.

---

Yes, but the big dark baddies, charizard(bite or crunch) and gengar can easily be destroyed by another(surprising) metagross. yes swampert can destroy it, but if it switches out to a flying type, it will be a big problem for u.

---

Charizard can easily beat Metagross. Swampert knows Avalanche.

Plus, Metagross is a Physical attacker almost all the time.
