Help me pick my 3rd pokemon! Heartgold/Soulsilver

Hi,

I want to beat the game using only 3 pokemon, and two of them will be Typhlosion and Lapras. Any ideas for the 3rd? Thanks!

Maybe Sceptile or Torterra they're both very strong!

Might as well go with a traditional Pikchu.

Dragonite might be the choice but you dont get him till late in the game.
there is a lot of choices out there.

well, if you want a legendary, get ho-oh(since its more offensive and is better in-game)if you don't want legendarys, get garchomp, or spritomb

I don't use any legendaries for my in-game team that's gay It won't be hard my team usually doesn't have more than 5 anyways. This isn't including hm slaves which I will use. I just want to know what pokemon or type will cover most of the other two's weaknesses.

Typhlosion will know flamethrower and focust blast, and maybe solarbeam/sunny day

Lapras will know surf, ice beam, thunderbolt, and probably psychic.

A strong physical sweeper like donphan, ursaring, machamp etc as you already have the special sweeper side covered.

oh, so you don't want legendaries. its just that in-game i use legendarys(not when i battle competivly of course). so, you want a 3-pkmn competitive team for in game ?OOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKK. spiritomb'll do it

Try picking ti yourself instead of letting other people play the game for you

Heracross, obviously He's just too awesome to be denied.

I think you're right. I know I need a physical attcker. I've been considering heracross but I just can't get over the 4x weakness, same with torterra who was my other choice. And about playing the game yourself, you're right, and Alakazam would be my choice but then my team would be all special. Basically I'm asking you guys for a good physical attacker that will be super-effective on the pokemon typhlosion and lapras are weak to. Although they cover each other quite a bit already. Thanks.

a ground type or a grass type physical attacker then. torterra would be perfect. try this set: nature:adamant item: life orb EVs:252 attack, 252 speed 6 sp.defense. moves:rock polish, wood hammer, earthquake, stone edge. with this torterra can outspeed most pokemon, and can KO ice types with stone edge.

but since you seem not to like torterra's 4x weakness, try a sturdy ground type, like nidoking, hippowdon, or swampert.
