I'm a pretty big fan of steel types in general, so this was naturally the type I would pick for monotype battling. This team has been performing excellently so far, though I'm having a lot of trouble against fighting types. I can only change the Magnezone/M-Scizor slots to assist with that trouble, though. I've been considering Doublade as the primary option, but it's not exactly the strongest of Pokemon, and fighting teams run coverage for ghosts anyway. I'm still quite new, though, and any advice is appreciated.
