1.Steelix
2.Lapras
3.Cloyster
4.Slowbro
5.Alakazam
6.Muk
And probably a few others that I cant quite think of right now.

I hope Steelix...I think hes a cool pokemon that should have a strong use.

however I think allot of people consider him weak (mostly due to fire weakness etc)

So im not sure how highly rated he will actually be.

Hopefully Muk too !

He's weak only because Fire Spin/Overheat is one of the best moves in game.

That and DT/Outrage & SC(or hex)/SB & Conf(or Pyscho cut|)/Futuresight.

Having a weakness to fire, dragon, ghost, or psychic is like having a double weakness

Why is Steelix weak to DT/O or the psychic moves? He resists that doesn't he?

And ghost is only normal vs him, not super effective.

Not sure what you are on about.

Muk will be great. I think the Nidos will make a comeback. Crobat is solid too. Oh, and Hypno!

I'd be ok with that list. Really want to see Lapras back in the mix again.

I got 2 Lapras' from hatched eggs that I just recently got both to level 30. IS/IB & IS/B. Would love to place them in gyms now.

IS is legacy. U sure you just hatched them?

Confused me too. But the recentlly tag applies to powering to lvl 30(and not to hatch) :).

What is the hype about steelix?
Flareon could get the job done with more than 50% health at the end of the battle.
Eggy with C/SeB is harder to kill than steelix.

He is really tanky so any pokemon not SE into him has a hard time. Also he looks cool as hell. Plus I am sure I am not the only one who doesn't like to use Flareon. All of his moves are so Slow.

Umbreon, and Noctowl actually has similar stats. Poliwrath. Venusaur. Wigglytuff and Clefable. From what I've read low-CP pokemon are also low-maintenance. Makes sense that Snorlax will have to get fed a lot. And we can check the motivation remotely, so if one high-CP defender always gets fed and others don't, we can watch that player closely and see if it's a spoofer and report. If casual spoofers want to stay hidden, they'll have to feed our 'mons too :)

You will see your own defender's motivation i assume. You will not be able to watch all others pokemon's motivation without going to the gym.

If I cycle to my gyms daily and only feed my own pokemon, am i suspected to spoof?

High CP elite mons are said to lose motivation faster, I've seen something about half a day, but I may be mistaken. I wouldn't go out twice or more times a day to feed a snorlax. And in my area many people are suspected spoofers, I'm not going to try and report them immidiately, I'll just watch and remember which people not to assist. Not sure if reporting works in a country where the game isn't officially out yet. But if there's more interaction in the future, like PvP, I'll avoid these players and make sure the community doesn't see them as teammates/rivals or even real players. Spoofers and bots are more like self-inflicted hard mode, NPC opponents in lieu of evil organizations.
