Sorry for answering too late, but I hope this answer helps as well:CloysterPros-Brillent defence stat of 180-Ability Skill link makes Rock Blast and Icicle Spear became super strong-Atk stat of 95 was fine-ACCESS TO SHELL SMASH-Good one at cleaning hazard (Rapid Spin) and setting hazard (Spikes and Toxic Spikes)-Stat was not bad-Much much more better than the other two you’ve mention-Could also be a special sweeper but however psychical was more betterCons-Super frail and bad Sp.Def of only 45-HP was another big problem which only got 50-Typing of Ice / Water was very bad defensively. :(-Weak to Stelth Rock

LaprasPros-Good movepool, definitely the best of the Pokemon you’ve mention-Epic HP-Defensive stat isn’t that bad-Could be either Psychical or Special-Best Base Stat against the Pokemon you’ve mentionCons-It’s abilities kinda sucks-Again, same as cloyster it’s typing was very Frail-Outclass by other water and ice type Pokemon-Weak to stealth rock-Not Actually a good Pokemon to use :p

DewgongPros-The ability Thick fat makes it take no neutral damage from fire type attacks anymore-Could be in either Hail team or Rain team due to the other two abilities-Good Special Defensive statCons-Bad bad typing-Super frail-Was outclassed by others in a lot of ways

Hope it helps!
