| As in, defend them from Ground-types? If so, isn't only one of them weak to Ground? The one without balloon? (Of course no one would be stupid enough to give the balloon to the Flying-type.) |

you'll have a hard time having the 3rd pokemon immune to ground type
you could use a shuca berry or something, though |

use more type diversity if you run into a ground, dragon, grass, or another electric type, you're in for a tough time

his strategy was using those 3 electric pokemon, so if i were you id try to help his strategy, not change it altogether
you can always rely on an electric type with good coverage
.. whatever that would be
electivire? |

"his strategy was using those 3 electric pokemon, so if i were you id try to help his strategy, not change it altogether"
i'm not entirely sure what he's trying to do from what I understand the electric/flying type isn't effected(spelling?) by ground type moves because it's flying type the other two I'd just give X Defends if you run into a type disadvantage or pump up their defense EVs, though for the latter to take effect he'd need to have them all level 100 I can't think of any way to help against ground attacks except a shuca berry like you said

You spelled "GLACEON, GLACEON AND GLACEON" wrong, mate.

@Mikeyman
He's trying to use Discharge in order to hit everyone in the field at the time with an electric-type move. His pokemon would take advantage of it with abilities like Motor Drive. He's trying to find a way to cover electric-type's only weakness, ground, from what I gather.
His best bet is giving a balloon to one of the non-Electric/Flying pokemon and giving a Shuca berry to the one with the highest Defense. (Since the most commonly used Ground-Type move by far and away is Earthquake, which is physical, Defense should be taken over Sp. Defense.) |

but if the Pokemon holding the Air Balloon is attacked directly with a move that isn't ground type the balloon will break which will leave it open to attack and most likely down one electric type

point being? OP already decided on balloon
either way, that would take a whole move used up on the pokemon just to take out its balloon when there are more consistent ways of OHKOing it |

if you lose the balloon you lose your immunity to ground type moves

yes, but as i said balloon is still easily the best option
your opponent isnt doing a good job if they focus on taking out the ballon so they can hit two out of three pokemon super effectively |

honestly I'd still go with the balloon on the one with lower defense possibly an X Defend on the one with higher defense

yes but there's only one balloon to give to one pokemon so give the X Defend to the other one to make them take less damage that's how defense works right

you can use Battle Items on online randoms? wot
anyway, i think that boosting Defense isnt as versatile and useful as soaking up a super effective
in my opinion, we should be taking advantage of the fact that electrics only have ONE weakness, so the single berry almost ensures that it survives
it'd also work on things like earth power |

that one weakness is negated though if they are dual electric/flying types but they don't get STAB on ground types because they don't do any damage to them in the first place
