Which is the most recommended: Umbreon, Gengar, Spiritomb, Absol, or Hydreigon?
My friend wants to know which to choose for his team. So far he has Salamence, Dragonite, Metagross, Milotic, and Heracross. I already told him having 2 dragon types in his team is a bad idea, so you might also have to recommend another Pokemon. Please respond quickly!

This is from a competitive standpoint:As the team look now, neither of those Pokemon is recommendable. Typewise they aren’t bad, but you need something with more and better resistances. That’s why I would recommendExcadrill.Your biggest issue isn’t the Dragon or Ice weakness, its your overwhelming Electric weakness. That’s why Excadrill is perfect for your team, taking care of Dragons and resisting/killing users of the Bolt-Beam combo.That creates a different problem however. Your team is almost mutually consisting of physical attackers, meaning a Skarmory or Forretress walls you completely. That’s why Salamance need to run a mixed attacking set and Dragonite need to go. They are very similar and you just dont need both of them. So know I would suggest one of the Pokemon you wanted to use,Gengar. It helps balance the physical-special ratio and brings great type coverage and speed to the team. So that’s my final verdict,Excadrill and Gengar.
I would recommend them this order:
- Gengar(For a boost in Special Attack)2. Umbreon (For some defense power on your team)3. Absol (For some attacking power, even though you have Heracross)4. Spiritomb (He is mediocre all-around)5. Hydreigon (Adding it will make 3 of your Pokemon weak to Ice.)
Le scraf basically answered your question but I’ll answer the part in which you need to replace a Pokemon.
2 dragon Pokemon is fine, I have a whole team of dark types! xD But here are some pointers…
I recommend I fire type because as far as my knowledge goes you don’t have one.(They are sooo needed because White 2 is a struggle without. Found out myself)
You have just one mere defensive Pokemon, add Umbreon or Mandibuzz.(Sorry, I like dark types)
Although your Dragons have resistance to grass, a lot don’t(And if this is XY then Dragons won’t have a lot of resistances.)
Conclusion
Add a fire type. I’d maybe get rid of Dragonite or Metagross since Milotic can defend against fire attacks. Heracross maybe be a bug but his attack is good and you need him.
Hope this helped you decide! :)
