So what type is everyone gonna be for season 3?
I'm probably gonna go dark again, but I'd like to switch out bisharp for something else, since the main two problems with my team are:
1) Fairies
2) Waters
So I'm torn between the two replacements:
Drapion:
+ Good 110 defense
+ Great typing, not weak to any of dark's common weaknesses
+ Decent 95 speed and 90 atk
+ Great movepool to kill fairies, with poison jab and EQ
- Doesn't help against water types at all unless I use the not-very-strong thunder fang
- Kinda useless abilities
- No priority and no gunk shot
Cacturne:
+ Good 115 offenses
+ Good movepool vs water types with seed bomb and thunder punch, and also has drain punch for fighting coverage which the rest of my team lacks
+ Can learn poison jab for fairies but has to watch out for mawile/klefki
+ Has sucker punch
+ Great ability in water absorb, or sand veil to go with tyranitar
- Crap 55 speed, but just enough to outspeed azumarill
- Shitty defenses
- Can't really do shit to mawile
- Lots of weaknesses
I'm undecided -- cacturne's movepool looks appealing but I don't know if his stats will hold me back or not. Drapion looks like more of a solid option but it doesn't help me vs a water team at all.
I've also got both a focus sash and a life orb that either of them could use.
I might try both and mess around with them in some practice rounds or something
Anyone have any experience using either of these?
