So I'm making a lead Empoleon to possibily replace my Kingdra lead set.

Here's what I'm running (basically the same as my kingdra. Stat-wise they are about the same except empoleon has more HP and a tad better defences but less speed)

Empoleon
Bold @ ???????. Torrent
252HP 152S.DEF 36DEF 20S.DEF 50SPEED
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Yawn
-Agility

The speed IV's give him 168 speed which after 1 agility boost will outrun max speed jolly garchomp.
Basically yawn stat uppers, agility, then sweep with water/ice or switch to a counter.

The problem is I want to cover one of his three common weaknesses. Ground, Electric, and Fight. Which one do you think as a lead he should have a berry to cover??

As far as switch coverage goes;
Fight: 1 immune, 1 resist and 1 that can sponge weaker hits like brick break
Electric: None on my team that resist or immune. but I have 2 pokes that can wall special hits well.
Ground: 1 immune.


EDIT: Hmmmmm after trying him in a few battles he's perhaps not as great of a lead as I had hoped, as his weaknesses are easily preyed on even with a berry covering him. Perhaps I'll save him for a rain dance set.. Opinions on what berry I should use is still valued though :)
