Should I get a Magmar in Platinum?

Question

Hello! I have some questions for my team because of Candice. My team so far:
Torterra
Staraptor
Bibarel (HM Slave)
Gabite
Gyarados
Jolteon.

I don't have many things effective against Candice, except for Staraptor's Close Combat. Should I get a magmar specifically for Candice?

Answer 1

No you will be fine. Candice is not that difficult of a gym leader as long as your at the same levels as her. She does have a Froslass though, which is immune to Close Combat. Jolteon can take it down tho. I would say, however that your team has a problem with ice types. Half of your team has a weakness to ice, and two have a 4x weakness.

Gyarados is not weak to ice.

Yeah I've noticed that... Thanks for your help though! What should I use to take her down? Staraptor's close combat and Steel Wing?
