Riceball: Hm...its fairly balanced right now, but you're right, those last two members could be replaced with better ones. Whimsicott could be a good replacement grass type. It has an ability that gives non attack moves like leech seed priority, and can hit Seismitoad and Swampert with Grass Knot or Energy ball. I'd say you also need a dedicated fighting type like Sawk or Throh, or Conkledurr if someone wants to trade with you, for breaking big special walls, and as an added counter to steel, rock, normal, and dark types. Someone who can at least use an ice attack would be beneficial as well, especially when you have to go against the dragon gym. Maybe a Jellicent with Scald and Ice Beam? This way you have three special sweepers, two physical ones, and an annoyer. Pretty good mix for an in-game team, I think.
I also can't stress the greatness of Krookodile enough in the main game if you have a place for him. He's bulky with great attack and moves. Bulk Up/Rock Slide/Crunch/Earthquake is just so great.
How's Darmanitan working out for you? He looked cool, but I really wanted to use a Chandelure. Might use him if/when I buy White.
Thanks for the suggestions! I was thinking about going for a Krookodile as a replacement for Boldore/Gigalith; you have convinced me sage.
Darmanitan is the sex. As long as he doesn't take too many hits in a battle (it normally doesn't because of its speed & attack stats, plus now with Sheer Power attacks do 30% more
) I'm quite confident it could take out an entire team. I'm so glad it doesn't have Zen Mode that would really suck. My moveset atm is Work Up/Fire Punch/Flare Blitz/Hammer Arm.
So, in summary, the good and bad I've found so far:
GoodFairly high speed stat relative to its weakness-types means it generally attacks first.
Ridiculous attack stat means it ploughs through everything, even water types (I took out Bianca's Oshathingo in one hit with a Fire Punch lol).
High HP means attacks like Flare Blitz don't cripple.
Belly Drum, which I mistakenly didn't learn, would make the above even more win.
BadVery fragile, if it takes 3+ hits its normally good night.
Its a bit one-dimensional, although the high attack stat makes up for this somewhat.
