POkemon for my team

[gamui]

In the hoenn im training up the perfect all type non-legendary or super powerful team.

Ive got:
-Breloom
-Ampharos
-Octillery
-Solrock
-Ninjask
-Flygon

However ive got a dilemma for these pokemon

-Flygon or Salamence
-Ninjask or Ledian or Ariados or Masquerain


But i want to keep a perfect type balence (and keep Ampharos, Breloom, Solrock & Octillery)

Any ideas. Ive got emerald version...
Help me.

ANd which is better Ariados or Ledian?

Salamence is better than Flygon. Both have a quad weakness to ice but Salamence has a base stat total of 600 as compared to Flygon's 520. Both of them are capable of learning of a lot of moves making up for their weaknesses.
Personally, I would go for Salamence.

I think Ariados is better than Ledian, though i am not sure.

That's not necessarily the case... base stat totals don't always matter. Both have a quad weakness to Ice, yes. Both have a weakness to Dragon, yes. However, Salamence has one weakness that Flygon resists: Rock. Flygon resists Stealth Rock while Salamence takes 25% every time it switches in. Both are still immune to Ground as well. Flygon is also immune to Electric.

Flygon gets U-Turn, and doesn't have the side effect of Roost. Salamence doesn't get U-Turn and loses its Flying-type with every use of Roost (bulky set), leaving it vulnerable to Ground-type attacks. If someone sends in something to counter Salamence, all you can do is switch or stay in, do something, and die. With U-Turn, Flygon can switch out AND do damage at the same time.

Now, I'm not saying Salamence is bad. It has more power than Flygon, is just as fast, and Roost does mean that it loses its 4x weakness to Ice for one turn. Flygon's really stuck with only using physical moves (aside from powerful ones like Fire Blast and Draco Meteor). Salamence can run physical, special, AND mixed sets well. Plus, Salamence has Dragon Dance.

So, really, it's your choice. They both have their strong points.

I don't know about Ledian vs Ariados. They both kinda suck to be honest, but I think Ledian might be better... doesn't it have good Special Defense?
