I like the fact that I made an arguement happen, and I wasn't in it! :P

Answer 1

Avalugg. Cloyster has better things to do like use Shell Smash. Cloyster also doesn't pack Recover or Sturdy like Avalugg does, so it's better off being offensive Shell Smash rather than a defensive Pokemon.

Avalugg @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Atk
Nature: Impish
- Recover
- Avalanche
- Gyro Ball/ Stone Edge/ Rapid Spin
- Earthquake

Having said Avalugg, it has a very poor typing to wall. There are better options like Landorus-T, Slowbro, Tangrowth et. al.

Aggron would be one of my favorite non-legendary pokemon if it weren't for its MASSIVE WEAKNESS TO FIGHTING!!!

cloyster has a 50% chance of setting up, if it does, it is hard to stop. avalugg however, will deal out a few strong hits, but 2 special hits=KO

You forgot to use the best move on avalaugg, body press, because of the massive defense body press deals a lot of damage.
I use Avalugg with Iron defense, body press, heavy slam and earthquake (no stab lol) and its great

Body Press does not exist in X/Y, and did not exist in 2014 when this was posted.
