Stleath Rock is becoming really annoying esp for my bug team. Any suggestions for a bug type that can learn rapid spin or defog and would be a good Pokemon to use against steel types.

Sorry guys didn't realise you had posted :P
it probably took you a while to write that down, you didnt know :P.
thank you, i do have a scizor on my team but what do i remove for Defog : bullet punch, swords dance, roost or quick attack
Keep quick attack
quick attack has no use on most Scizor because of Bullet Punch, so replace Quick Attack.

  • Foretress (family) Resist steel, has earthquake (although a defensive set is more recommended
  • Armaldo (family) Has earthquake
