I know all expect Kyrogue to be released soon, but I think it is also possible Rayquaza bill be up next. I habe several Dragonite, two of them maxed out at lvl40, and two others at 35,5. My other options are all at lvl 31,5. Those include a Lapras, two Cloyster, a Walrein, two Gardevoir. I think, the Cloysters, the two max Dragons and Lapras are safe. What would you go with for the sixth slot?
I think Cloyster would be best. Despite having the worst stats of the three, its attack is slightly higher than Walrein and it has a better charged move that's also two-bar: Avalanche.
I also think that Gardevoir is only good against Dragon-type movesets. Rayquaza can also carry a double-air moveset, as well as AncientPower. Remember that Gardevoir doesn't have a Fairy quick move and isn't as effective as ice against Flying/Dragon.
Unless it takes a long time to rejoin a raid I'd just go with the most DPS which would be the 4 Dragonites, and Cloyster or Walrein over the Lapras, as you can always rejoin if you need more than 6 attackers but if you don't need all 6 then it makes more sense to use the ones that do the most damage in a limited amount of time.
Gardevoir lacks a fairy quick move, Confusion has low energy gain so you don't use Dazzling Gleam as much as you'd want and Charge Beam is worse even with the higher energy gain. It's only really useful against Dragon Tail + Outrage, where it's really tanky but still doesn't do as much DPS as the top counters - a bit like Lapras, so even against the best moveset matchup I'd save it for a second team or put it sixth if I had nothing better.
I’m planning to use my best ice mons. Spheals have been spawning like crazy where I am, and I’ve caught 229 so far. I have four at L33+ that I plan to evolve soon and hopefully get a double ice moveset on at least one. That clown walrus will join my powered up Lapras and Cloyster to form the core of my group. I’ll round it out with my Gardevoir and 2 Dragonites.
