Gastrodon or Virizion?

I need to know if Gastrodon or Virizion is better for my Pokemon team. This is Pokemon Black 2.

My Party:

Pidgeot:FlyHurricaneHeat Wave

Meganium:Double TeamToxicRestSubstitute

Lapras:SurfBlizzardPsychicThunder

Latias:Psycho ShiftShadow BallPhyshockOutrage

Latios:Dragon PulseDraco MeteorPsychicThunderbolt

So what do you think? And Gastrodon is currently on my team with Protect, Earth Power, Ice Beam, and Scald.

Virizion is very flexible in the fact that it can be a physical or special attacker. But your team is full of Special attackers so this Virizion needs to be a Physical Attacker.

Moveset:

The reason I chose Virizion over Gastrodon is because you already had a Water Type in your team, Lapras. Plus Gastro and Lapras both play the same role in the fact they are Bulky Pokemon. So getting Virizion in there gives you a strong Physicial Attacker.

Forgive me for essentially remodelling your entire team, but I don’t think either Gastrodon or Virizion will provide much coverage for your current team. Also, your HM slaves aren’t complete (I don’t know where you are in the game right now, so it’s hard to tell).

I know this is an in game team, but that just means you need to rely on type advantages even more.

Pidgeot - only has 3 moves? It’s also not a great bird/ flying Pokemon, because of low stats. It can also only learn 1 HM moveMeganium - has no attacking moves. I’m not too sure what it’s even there for.Lapras - okay, but Thunder and Blizzard only have 70% accuracy w/o weather, so not that greatLatias & Latios - I wouldn’t have both on the same team. They’re weak to the same things and cover the same things as well.

Judging from the fact your Pidgeot knows Heat Wave, I think you should be at Humilau because the move tutor for Heat Wave is there. Or maybe it just came with the move when you traded for it.

Pidgeot - Fly, Roost, Air Slash, Quick AttackMeganium - Cut, Strength, Aromatherapy, Energy BallLapras - Waterfall, Surf, Ice Beam, Toxic/ Frost BreathLatias - Psychic, Recover, Dragon Pulse, Thunderbolt

So Latios is a bit unneeded.

Replacement suggestions:

Virizion isn’t that good in light of your current team, because of its x4 Flying Weakness. You already have Meganium, so I would suggest another Fighting type.

Fighting:Terrakion - Close Combat, Stone Edge/ Rock Slide, Earthquake, X-ScissorScrafty - Drain Punch, Crunch, Ice Punch, (filler move; Dual Chop maybe)

Coverage:Chandelure - Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, Energy Ball, Confuse Ray
