Houndoom, Chandelure or Ninetales?

I currently have no dark or ghost types in my team, I have been using drought ninetales with will-o-wisp and hex to cover this weakness but I’m wondering if perhaps houndoom or chandelure would be better choices. Thoughts on my situation? Movesets?

Okay, well if you want a more bulkier choice you should stay with Ninetales, since Chandelure and Houndoom are terrible defense-wise. If you don’t though, this is gonna be a Chandelure vs. Houndoom thing.

Chandelure and Houndoom hold a fight with Sp. Attack. Chandelure has an impeccable Sp. Attack stat that Houndoom doesn’t reach even through Mega Evolution. But even overall, a Mega Evolved Houndoom vs. a Normal Chandelure have almost even stats.

I would choose Houndoom.

Houndour evolves earlier than Litwick, who evolves all the way up at Level 41. That would evidently take a while, whereas Houndour evolves at Level 24. This would be a lot more convenient since Litwick isn’t the best Pokemon to use.

Chandelure also has a more diverse movepool than Houndoom, but both still have access to Grass- and Electric-type moves that will defeat Water-types. Houndoom has four weaknesses and Chandelure has five, and Mega-Evolved Houndoom has a higher BST. So I would chooseHoundoom, but it’s purely your choice.

Houndour can only be found in X at Route 10, and the Houndoomite can be found in Route 16 between 8-9pm.

Hope I helped. :)Sources: Serbii’s respective Pokedex pages,this
