My next defender?

Hey guys. I just wanted some opinions on my next defender. First, I AM NOT worried about cp. Second, I know every pokemon is easily countered. That being said, which of these would annoy you most if seen in a gym, in the context that it hits hard, or causes you to a specific pokemon just to deal with it, in the same way that a Gyarados begs people to use a Jolteon. Anyways, here are my options...

Scizor 89% bp/ih
Jolteon 86% vs/tb
Arcanine 91% ff/ft
Kingdra 80% db/o
Flareon 82% fs/ft
Slowbro 91% c/ib

Definitely the Slowbro. Confusion hits very hard and Ice Beam can take its counters by surprise. Get around to that Scizor too

Slowbro.

Yeah it's Slowbro I think.

Slowbro, next Jolteon.

Slowbro for sure, and after that Jolteon or Scizor ( will be very annoying if you can put him between two water types in a gym)

I have a 98iv slowbro with C/IB since first few months. Should I power him up?

If his cp allows you to fit him in gyms, he is a great defender.

Slowbro for sure. Jolteon close behind knowing that it is going be a good attacker as a bonus.

I think jolteon would throw people off more than the others, most likely underestimated on the first run of the gym and may not bother to even bring a proper counter the first time through.

Players have probably caught on to slowbro by now and respect confusion on anything.

I agree. I already have one of each (well Jolteon with discharge,) both with a win. Jolteon has a battle won lol. This Slowbro is better than the one I already have and it looks like he is getting the overwhelming support. I think I will go Slowbro, Jolteon, Scizor...provided I don't hatch a couple of Larvitars...

I may be biased. One of my few perfects is a c/psy slowbro. It's hard to look at my prized slowbro after psychic became a single bar move. May be a small amount of resentment for slowbros still:)

Slowbro is probably the better choice, but jolteon is definitely a wild card in a gym. This post is making me consider powering one.
