you already have a monferno which will become to an infernape, a strong fire/fighting typebut if you want to use one of them I will give you the answer

lucariopros:1. have amazing attack and spc.attack2. have a great dual typing3. have a decent movepool4. great speedcons:1. late mid-game access2. you need to hatch riolu egg to get it3. when its hatch, it will become level 1, soooo a HARD time grinding4. happiness evolve method, that will be VERY VERY FUN!

toxicroakpros:1. decent attack2.average speed, HP, and speed3. early mid-game access4. decent movepool5. its ability dry skin could help it out especially against though guy or dwayne johnson or crasher wake(i know this isnt that funny)cons:1. weaker than lucario2. bad defense and spc.defense3. its ability dry skin could let it down especially with elite four member flint (i dont know what to call this men)

so there it is, the pros and consyou want moveset in your tag? I give you moveset in my answer

lucario @anythingnature: I recommend dont lower your speed, attack or spc.attack- aura sphere/close combat- sword dance/calm mind- dragon pulse/strength/filler- bone rush/strength/filler

toxicroak @anythingnature: I recommend dont lower your speed, attack or spc.attack- brick break/revenge- poison jab/sludge bomb- nasty plot/sucker punch- strength/filler

here you goHope I helps!

When you have Infernape, who can learn Close Combat as early as lvl 36, you don’t need any other fighting type. Lucario is available too late and Toxicroak doesn’t hit hard as Infernape (doesn’t learn CC). Only good fighting type move it learns is Brick Break.

Fighting typing covers Byron (Flamethrower is actually enough), Candice (same as before), and…. that’s it? So it is recommended not to use any additional Fighting type.

Here are some alternative who are suitable to your team.

Roserade

Roserade, despite having a poor movepool, does great against Water/Ground types, which you may struggle against.

Roserade @ Miracle SeedAbility: Poison Point / Natural Cure (latter is better)- Grass Knot- Petal Dance / Giga Drain- Sludge Bomb- Shadow Ball

Weavile

Capable of sweeping half of Lucian team and Cynthia’s Garchomp (Everyone’s worst nightmare when it comes to dpp). Your Garchomp can also clear them… however I just gave you some suggestion.

Weavile @ Dread Plate / Icicle PlateAbility: Pressure- Night Slash (heart scale)- Ice Punch (move tutor)- Brick Break- Dig / X-Scissor

Nothing. Just don’t use any other mon, save the experience for other team members and by the time you reach E4, it will be a lot more easier than using 6 ‘mons. If you just Level them up more, even Garchomp’s Stab can handle Bertha or Crunch for Lucian. It is just up to you!

Hope this helps :)

So I think in my opinion don’t judge me if you starter has a type that you are planning of using in this case noferno/infernape you don’t really need anything else.Your starter is already going to be your ace so using another Pokemon of the same type has a big dis advantage that is you won’t be using it a lot (unless its an mono type than the case is diffrent).So i’ll just give you alternative that suits you team the best.
