My ace team only has 5 Pokemon. And I just beat the eight gym. I feel really weird about that- and there's no way I want to fight the elite 4/Ghetsis/Alder with only 5 Pokemon no matter how much I over-level them. But I can't decide what I want number six to be.
This is the current team: (Note that levels are going to increase dramatically from what they are here)

Darmanitan- Fire type- Sheer Force
Krookodile- Ground/Dark type- Intimidate
Sawk- Fighting type- Sturdy
Gothitelle-Psychic Type- Frisk
Pawniard- Dark/Steel Type- Inner Focus

I'm on Black version, so as much as I'd want a Braviary (or some other White-Exclusive) don't suggest it, because I don't even have wifi.
I want another female to make my team totally even gender-wise (OCD, man) and I'm trying to make it at least sort of balanced, so I'm trying to stay away from any more dark types (although a pseudo-legend like Deino is really tempting.)

I was thinking perhaps Druddigon, but I didn't want something too ugly on my team. My next thought was Axew, but Axew is really the only part of the evolution family I like. Deino is pretty cute, but it's like Axew in that I only love the first evolution (and it's part dark-type.)

My next thought was Bouffalant, but.. I don't like that it reminds me so much of Tauros with no tails and an afro. Maybe an Emolga, because the stats are.. passable? And it's quite cute...

I really don't know what to pick... Any suggestions? And if any of the ones I mentioned above are perfect for my team, despite my petty complaints- please smack me with a paintbrush (but tell me which one is perfect!)

TLDR: I can't decide what I want my sixth Pokemon to be in Black, take a look at my current 5 and tell me what you think would make it perfect, thank you!


And thank you if you read my whole chunk of text and/or are going to make a suggestion- This trainer greatly appreciates your help!

(If this is in the wrong place, I'm sorry, you can move it- I didn't initially see the help forum, not that that's a good excuse since upon third look I found it! It's just that.. It's Pokemon Black and it's kind of a discussion of how I'm indecisive..)

This should probably go in the HELP forum, but that's okay.

And yeah, the colors/bold doesn't really help. In fact, it's kind of distracting--- especially the bold. I think you could simply space the list away from your text and leave it black and not bolded. You can probably remove nicknames, genders, and levels from the list, because it's information we don't really need to know.

Anyway, since you have two weak to Water and two weak to Fighting, I would recommend either an Electric type or a Flying type. I think I agree with you that Emolga would fit. You could also get a Mandibuzz. She's a Dark type, but her Flying half removes all of the Dark-type's weaknesses...and (bonus!) they're always female.

As long as you stay away from anything that is weak to Water (Fire, Ground, Rock) and Fighting (Dark, Steel, Normal), you should be okay if you want to add something that you like that doesn't cover those weaknesses. I don't know what pokémon you really like, so you can fill in the blank. It might also be suggestible that you get a Water type, since you don't have one on your team.

Sorry if this doesn't help. Picking my sixth team member was the hardest part for me, too.

Thanks! I fixed the colours, and I hadn't considered Mandibuzz, but it's definitely a good choice! (Not to mention I already have a Vullaby- whoot!)
