Klinklang or Vanilluxe?

I am training a double battle team right now krokorok, scolipede, maybe klink, and zebstrika and Im thinking on replacing klink with vanillite.

Klinklanghas a very high defense, and is a steel type, so he has a sizable number of resistances. It also has a good Special Defense and Speed. However, it has a bad moveset (aside for it’s two good signature moves, Gear Grind and Gear Shift). You may have problems utilizing it’s decent attack, since it’s movepool is largely comprised of only a few physical moves.Klinklangis also weak to Ground, Fighting, and Fire, 3 widely used offensive types. These weaknesses can be somewhat mitigated because Ground and Fighting are normally physical moves, meaning Fire is your true threat.

Vanilluxecan be considered a partial opposite to Klinklang. It has a high special attack and a good movepool. It also has a decent speed. However, with it being Ice-type, it has weaknesses to Fighting, Rock, Fire, AND Steel, three of which are still powerful offensive types. Also, unlike Klinklang, Vanlluxe only resists Ice.Vanilluxeonly has a decent defense/special defense, meaning it may not last as long on the battlefield. Unless you can eliminate the enemy fast, it may faint fast.Depending on your needs, you may choose eitherKlinklangfor a reliable tank, or Vanilluxe for a reliable sweeper.Hope this helps!

Pros: High Attack and defense with good speed and S.def.

Cons: Aweful movepool and poor hp

Pros: High S.attack, Attack, and defensive stats, Boostable speed and an ok movepool.

Cons: Rather predictable and weak to fighting, rock, and fire the more common attacking types

I would go with Vanilluxe but I don’t really like either
