    Crobat should have been mentioned too. Not only is it a fairy killer but it’s also very fast, has decent bulk, can learn a ton of moves, and it’s has tons of great match up thanks to its Poison/Flying typing.

      I usually plan my teams in advance and I didn't plan to have crobat (not that I don't like it, I do. I just use it way too much) but I was in a cave and was like aw a zubat. I could use a crobat for later.... then I just slapped it on my team because in my head I knew the pokemon I wanted came way later anyway. Long story short I had crobat before gardenia and it was another "oops! My crobat carried my playthrough!" Moment

      Well being a fairy killer isn’t as important in these games, since the only notable ones you’ll encounter throughout the game are Clefable,Azumaril, Gardevoir and Togekiss but other than that i agree, crobat is great and the fact that you can get zubat really early just makes it even better

    Drifloon is well worth considering as it comes at level 22 with shadow ball right after valley windworks. It also has at least 3 max IVs for some reason, despite not being a gift or fossil. It takes out Gardenia and Maylene with no issues and evolves fairly early at level 28. Unburden can also be quite fun to take advantage of.

      @@michaelmurphy6278 The where doesn't matter. They have a chance to pickup an item after a battle. You need to get them to level 10 because that's when the shiny stone enters the pickup table. I just grinded some low level pokemon outside floaroma, route 205 I think. Really any area is good with low level pokemon your main mon at the front of the party can one-shot. I suggest an area with lvl 2-5 bidoofs so that the pachirisus don't gain too much exp per battle. Between lvl 20-21 the chance to pickup a shiny stone decreases to 3% instead of the previous 4 (will bounce back to 4 after lvl 30). Just grind battles, faint the wild pokemon, check whether or not the pachirisus picked up something, then rinse and repeat. If they picked something up after a battle, then take it away from them as they can't pickup another item as long as they are holding one. Maybe i got really lucky, but it took me about 20-30 minutes tops to get two shiny stones. Took way longer to get the 5 pickup pachirisus. Hope this helps, good luck.

    Won’t lie, Houndoom was very underwhelming to use, as it was too frail to take any hits, and due to its shallow movepool, didn’t really get the KO’s it needed to get. There are SO many rock and water type trainers everywhere it’s crazy. Thankfully Magmortar was much easier to use and had insane coverage options, well worth spending time to find (or trade if ya have diamond like myself).

    I think Gastrodon deserves more credence. Shellos/Gastrodon hard counters so many fights it's not fair. The defensive typing alone is huge, but consider that you can get it very early on, it only learns its best moves thanks to the attacks removed in Gen VIII (meaning that by level ~35-40 it knows Ancient Power, Muddy Water, Earth Power, and you can give it the TM for Ice Beam), and it gets Recover. It's only super effective weakness is Grass, and there's very few key fights with Grass types (just one gym, your rival's Torterra or Roserade, Candice's Abomasnow, and Cynthia's Roserade). Azumarill is a powerhouse but Gastro is way more useful and consistent that, say, Drapion as a tank. Not to bash Drapion, but Poison/Dark STAB covers far less than Water/Ground STAB.

      @@razorgash6953 I think I just might! Fortunately, I checked and the one and only Pichirisu I have has the pick up ability. Honestly, as cool as my Luxio, now Luxray, is, it's kind of lost its cuteness factor from when it was Shinx. Pichirisu has that in spades, and I love the image of tiny little cute pokémon kicking the butts of bigger, more intimidating ones - like my Jiruchi versus Machoke. Zen headbutt for the win!

    Some of these lists are made rather lazily. More often than not, Snorlax, Alakazam and Gengar are just thrown in to take three spots. There are so many better options that are native to Sinnoh rather than the same three Kanto Pokémon thrown into every single “Best [Something]” list.

If you don't want Gyarados because it's also native to Kanto, then maybe Mamoswine? Maybe Lucario? Lucario is too late-game though... Gallade is a good option, though it is overshadowed by Gardevoir. Crobat is a good option. Maybe Honchcrow? Your choice. But Alakazam, Gengar, and Snorlax are better pokemon in general.

    I wound up tossing a Clefable onto my team a while back, I wanted to run a fairy type but I also wanted access to an ice move so I back tracked a bit to catch myself a Clefa & it evolved into Clefairy quite quickly because I spent hours running around with it on my team in the Grand Underground trying to dig up a moon stone, I found like three sun stones but no moon stone & my friend told me that he found a moon stone so I traded with him, gave him a sun stone & he gave me a moon stone. He put in on a Munchlax with pickup which was great because I utilized that to get myself a shiny stone earlier than I would have, I have a Roserade on my team, I was actually planning on using Carnivine as my grass type but I found a shiny Budew in Eterna Forest so I decided to slap that into my team instead. All the running around I did in the Grand Underground did wonders for friendship, I evolved my Budew really quickly as well, even tried to do an honor battle with my Roselia against Gardenia's Roserade, bad idea but hey, I wanted my Roselia to believe it was strong. My Roserade can wipe the floor with Gardenia's now but it's not fair if I tried, it is now level 50. I have 7 badges.
