[@LuckyBlackCat] Some say the perfect defence is a good offence. There are many other factor one should look at. For example, Arcanine is a good choice due to a verstile move set. Talonflame is good choice. Although Talonflame is below average in other stats, TalonFlame can outspeed most other pokemon. One should try to use the strengths of a pokemon to negate or lessen the blow of  weaknesses.
