When you decide on defensive pokemon for your team, don't just think of the single pokemon itself, but the role it can play on your team, and effective combinations with other pokemon.
For instance, take both Amoonguss and Slowbro, both of them cover most of each others weaknesses (the impotant ones anyway), and an abundance of status moves between them, and they both have Regenerator to maintain momentum in battle. Throw in a Heatran in the mix and you'll have a very potent Fire/Water/Grass core to your team that can be tough to break through.

when picking something for a team, one cant say "what's a good mon who does this", they got to think of the big picture :3

My 4 definite team members are:
Haxorus, Ferrothorn, Conkeldurr and Porygon2. So, what would help cover these guys?

Starmie is a reliable spinner, and pretty fast with nice coverage.
Last slot, Volcarona if you are using choiced Haxorus. If you are using DD Haxorus, use a fast choiced mon, like Infernape, Mence, or Latios.

I don't wanna risk doubling up on a Dragon Type, so I'll go with Infernape. And I'll give Starmie a try too.

There is literally no risk with doubling up on dragons. There are teams called DragMag teams where the entire team are just Dragons and a Magnezone to defeat the steel types who threaten the dragons. Then the dragons just sweep without being stopped xD

The only big problem for double dragon teams is Mamoswine, who's becoming a lot more popular with Thick Fat, he does have Superpower for Pory2 and Ferrothorn, but Conkeldurr deals with him well.

So I heard about this thing for Onix from my friend. He's trying to find an Onix with a relaxed nature and the moves Curse and I think Gyroball so he can purposely make himself slower. Is that a good strategy?

Onix is terribad. I should stop him there, he should only be LC.
Though, if he is, he could go with a Sassy Nature, with 252 Hp/252 Sp.D/4 Atk.

Onix has only 45 base attack, that won't be hurting things much.
He should evolve to Steelix, Gyro Ball gets STAB there too.

Thats what he wanted. He wanted an Onix with a relax nature so he would get steelix with curse and gyro ball.

Dang it, four freakin Timid Staryu in a row and they all have Illuminate qq
If I give the Staryu that's breeding with a Ditto an Everstone, will that increase the chance of getting the same nature as the Staryu, but will it also make the child Staryu have the same ability?
EDIT: Wait, nvm, I got it
