Question

Which is better for G/S playthroughs: Donphan or Steelix?

Comments

Do you want to use this Donphan or Steelix for battling other people, the Battle Tower, in-game trainers, or something else?

for my in-game playthrough to beat lance

---

Steelix

---

Why are you not using Graveler, Nidoqueen, or Nidoking?
If you're really sure you want to use Donphan or Steelix for some weird reason, then I think Donphan is better, because getting a metal coat and evolving Steelix before Lance is very boring.

That doesn't make donphan better than steelix

---

That depends on your specific definition of "better". I recommend using Donphan because I think using Donphan is more fun than trying to get a metal coat before Lance.

Unless the asker specified, "better" does not mean "easier"

Answer 1

unless you have a 2nd system and a 2nd game, or a friend with the game, you would have to get Donphan, if you do, I would have to say Donphan because I think it has a better stat layout, the only thing Steelix really has going for it it's super high defense. Donphan packs a much harder punch and is faster
