Erm, you're not very well off vs Steel..

and to be honest, Zangoose is a pretty bad choice. A Machamp, Medicham, Hariyama etc. could all OHKO you with ease. Why not pick a more reliable sweeper like Garchomp, Tyranitar, Snorlax, Infernape etc?

That's why I put Shadow Claw in, to both play to my hypothetical Zangoose's strengths, and so I'd stand a chance against the Fighting Type...

I could replace ThunderPunch with FirePunch, but then I'd be prone to Salamence and Dragonite, and chances are I'd meet those two somewhere down the line!

Who died and made you the judge of a Pokemon's value? What kind of trainer are you to your Pokemon, anyway?

Let me give you a list of problems with your sweepers:

• Garchomp: Ice type moves do quad damage
• Tyranitar: Fighting type moves do quad damage
• Snorlax: Just Zangoose with more health and a healing move that makes him fall asleep
• Infernape: A borderline ridiculous number of glaring weaknesses...

Any other comments? I'd sure like to hear them...
