Prestigers

Hi,
In the metagame, which are they prestigers?
I'm using for draggys:
-Seadra (DB/DP or AB or Blizzard)
-Dewgong (FB/AB)
-Wigglytuff (Pound/DG)
Against gary:
-Lanturn (CB/Thunder or TB)
-Wigglytuff (Pound/DG)
Against Rhydon:
-Golduck (WG/HP)
-Venusaur (RL/SoB)
-Meganium (VW/PetB)

But excluding Seadras, I'm really sad with the results, maybe I'm using the wrong ones?
Where I live doesn't have a lot of snorlax/blissey, but I have a Hitmonlee (LK/CC) for emergency, what u think about him?
I can catch a lot of Heracross (I'm from Brazil), can I use one of them to prestige against blissey/lax or it takes so much damage?

what is "gary"?

a guy

I'm not that idiot, any pokemon player knows Gary, however I don't understand the context people use the word here and I believe it's pretty valid to ask and not receive irony as an answer.

Gyrados

I think the OP is talking about Gyarados

Smell ya later

Dragonite - Piloswine, Cloyster
Snorlax - Wiggly
Gyarados - Lanturn
Rhydon - Tangela, Starmie
Vaporeon - Tangela

I don't prestige against Blissey normally. For Tyranitar and Donphan, just use a Vaporeon. Another good prestiger is Umbreon, especially against Exeggutor and Espeon if you have to fight them on the low end of gyms.

Additional
Dragonite: Dewgong, Granbull
Snorlax: Primeape, Hitmon(take your pick)
Gyarados: Electrode, Raichu
Rhydon: Azumarill, Jumpluff, Sunflora
Vaporeon: Jumpluff, Sunflora

Tanky versatile picks: Skarmory, Steelix, Forretress, Wigglytuff, Mantine

It's extremely rare to find ice pokémon here.
I play since july and didn't evolve my shellder, but I've caught a single piloswine with 900 cp.
My umbreon is about 350 cp 84%~ IV, may I power up him to 1000-1200 cp?

Your choices are pretty much spot on. I'd also add Clefairy (with MB) and Tentacruel (with Blizzard) against Dragonite; Electabuzz against Gyarados; Vaporeon, Tangela and Azumarill (B+HP) against Rhydon.

I don't know why you're not happy with the results, the mons you use are all great prestigers - maybe you have to dodge more, which is always important since their CP is likely low, or you're a victim of the annoying dodge bug.

As for Snorlax counters, Hitmonlee is a glass cannon but if you're good at dodging he can deal a ton of damage with that moveset - Heracross is still likely better, since you can get him. Sudowoodo with SE or RS is probably my favorite one though, try him out and he'll surprise you! Ursaring with HB or CC is also really good.

Against Snorlax, a SW/Hurricane Pidgeot is also surprisingly effective.

True, even better with WA! I actually like to use all kinds of mons against Snorlax. Raticate, Pidgeot, Furret, Noctowl, Kabutops, Hitmontop, Magmar, Quagsire, Nidoking, Hypno, Tentacruel, Blastoise, Primeape, Forretress, Sandslash and Skarmory are all pretty reliable and fun to use.

It's nice to hear it. I have a pidgeot 1000 cp and 95% IV with WA/AA, I will try to use him

I'm already dodge all moves, but when I dodge an hyper beam I take OH-KO lol

Not really my prestigers, but the Pokémon below may be considered as the most useful:

Dragonite – Clefable, Wigglytuff, Cloyster, Dewgong, Kingdra with DB/Outrage

Gyarados – Ampharos, Magneton, Lanturn, Raichu, Clefable with CB/DG

Rhydon – Meganium with VW, Venusaur with VW, Poliwrath with Bubble, Golduck with WG/HP, Starmie with HP, Tangela with VW/SoB or VW/PB, Blastoise with WG/HP

These are my normal prestigers:

Dragonite – Wigglytuff, Clefable, Snorlax, Dewgong, Ditto

(Dragonite attackers: Clefable, Ditto, Cloyster)

Gyarados – Magneton with Discharge, Jolteon with TS/Thunderbolt or TS/Discharge, Electrabuzz with TS

(Gyarados attackers: as same as the prestigers)

Rhydon – Venusaur with VW/SoB, Vaporeon, Starmie

(Rhydon attackers: Poliwrath with Bubble, Vaporeon, Venusaur with VW/SoB)

You're using clefable with CB or ZH? I've a lot of fables, i'll try to use it

Prestiging simply takes longer than normal battling and that's why it just "feels" worst since you're using lower CP (level) mons...

All pretty normal.

I like Tangela a lot against Vaps and Rhydon. Vaps are good generalists due to high HPs and ok damage...so I use them also against Snorlax and Rhydons (Rhydon hits hard if you don't dodge).

Since you have a few wigglies, try one against Gary (if you know it has bite) or Lax (if you know it has lick). Only dodging specials, I think you will be surprised how well they do!

I like to use hitmonlee as well but I don't dodge well enough yet to make it effective.
