My In-Game White Team

[LeoP2008]

Just a quick note, I'm HORRIBLE with movesets. ALL suggestions and criticisms are very, very welcome!!

ACTIVE TEAM

1.) Zoroark the ZOROARK @ Bright Powder
Dark ---> Female ---> Illusion ---> Naughty
- Facade
- Foul Play
- Night Burst
- Double Team
# http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Zoroark_(Pokémon)
#http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/571.shtml

*I like to consider Rukario (Lucario) my partner Pokemon (Like Pikachu is to Ash). Zoroark makes a great temporary replacement. I often like to have atleast 2 Psychic/Dark/Ghost or Fighting-types on my team. Zoroark meets the requirement.

2.) Doredia the Lilligant @ Shell Bell
Grass ---> Female ---> Own Tempo ---> Modest
- Petal Dance
- Teeter Dance
- Butterfly Dance
- Attract
# http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Doredia_(Pokémon)
# http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/549.shtml

**I often have a grass-type on my teams and Doredia fits in nicely. I originally wanted to go with Mebukijika but I wasn't too pleased with his stats or movepool. Then, I discovered Doredia. Primarily, she will function as my "contest" pokemon. She NEEDS to be Shiny (an odd particular, I know)

3.) Burunkeru the JELLICENT @ Wise Glasses
Water/Ghost ---> Female ---> Cursed Body ---> Calm
- Wring Out
- Water Pulse
- Evil Eye
- Toxic
# http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Burunkeru_(Pokémon)
# http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/593.shtml

***I often have a water-type on my teams and Burunkeru fills the slot well. I'm really lovin' her secondary type, as well. Being a Ghost-type allows her to fit my Psychic/Dark/Ghost/Fighting-type requirement.

4.) Hihidaruma the DARMANITAN @ Life Orb (Wide Lens as a DARUMAKA)
Fire ---> Male ---> Encourage ---> Adamant
- Headbutt
- Brick Break
- Fire Punch
- Swagger
# http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hihidaruma_(Pokémon)
# http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/555.shtml

****I often have a fire-type on my teams and Hihidaruma works wonderfully. I originally wanted to go with Ulgamoth but the fact he took so long to reach his evolved form AND felt over powered didn't go over well with me. Then I discovered Hihidaruma (Daruma Mode). He excited me until I caught with that normal Hihdaruma were better. I really hope his Encourage/Life orb combo isn't a glitch as that is the main reason as to why he is so appealing to me. Otherwise, I may go back to Daruma Mode.

5.) Crimgan the DRUDDRIGON @ Rugged Helmet
Dragon ---> Male ---> Rough Skin ---> Impish
- Little By Little
- Revenge
- Dragon Claw
- Hone Claws
# http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Crimgan
# http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/621.shtml

*****Dragon-types are amongst my favorite type in the game. I originally wanted to go with Sazandora but his secondary Dark-type conflicted with Zoroark's. Ononokusu seemed like a logical alternative but he really didn't appeal to me. So, I was left with the option of Crimgan. After much examination, I now can't imagine why I even liked the other two. Rough skin/Rugged Helmet is uber sexy...

6.) Shibirudon @ Quick Claw
Electric ---> Male ---> Levitate ---> Quirky
- Crush Claw
- Spark
- Discharge
- Coil Around
# http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shibirudon_(Pokémon)
# http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/604.shtml

******Like Dragon-types, Electric-types are a personal fave of mine. After seeing Shibirudon for the first time, there was no other option. THEN, I saw his stats and ability.


*I'm liking the fact that the majority of my team does not evolve until their 30s and mostly has total base stats at around 480. It'll make the game more challenging. Not only does this mark the 1st generation that I did not use a pseudo-legendary but this is also the 1st generation where I purposely wanted pokemon with base stats no higher than 520...

ACTIVE TEAM

1.) Zoroark @ Life Orb
Dark ---> Female ---> Illusion ---> Timid
- Flamethrower
- Grass Knot
- Night Burst
- HP Fighting/Nasty Plot

Zoroark is better special based IMO.

2.) Doredia @ Leftovers
Grass ---> Female ---> Own Tempo ---> Modest
- Petal Dance
- Substitute
- Butterfly Dance
- Leech Seed

Attract is so inconsistent, Leech Seed for constant health to heal you from the substitute that is protecting while sapping at your health. Leftovers is constant recovery, positive.
And don't diss Mebukijika, he has a much better movepool than Doredia, which has B-Dance and Petal Dance, and that's really it.

3.) Burunkeru @ Wise Glasses
Water/Ghost ---> Female ---> Cursed Body ---> Calm
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Evil Eye
- Will-o-Wisp

Surf is better than Water Pulse in every way, it's very existence being a weak attack pokemon learn until they get the amazing Surf. Ice Beam for grass types, somthing Wring Out

4.) Hihidaruma @ Life Orb (Wide Lens as Darumakka)
Fire ---> Male ---> Encourage ---> Adamant
- Brick Break
- Rock Slide
- Flare Blitz
- Earthquke

No use having F-punch and Blitz on the same set. Blitz has a chance to burn an is boosted by Encourage. Rock Slide also abuses Encourage. BB and EQ are unaffected but still great moves for this. Don't bother with Daruma Mode though. Hihi can't urvive well in the first place so being constantly below 1/2 HP is crippling. Normal Hihi is arguable better anyway.

5.) Crimgan @ Rugged Helmet
Dragon ---> Male ---> Rough Skin ---> Impish
- Crunch
- Revenge
- Dragon Claw
- Claw Sharpen

Little by little is also very sittuational. Rarely does the opponent raise his defence, Crunch gets awesome coverage with Revenge.

6.) Shibirudon @ Quick Claw
Electric ---> Male ---> Levitate ---> Quirky
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower
- Grass Knot
- Brick Break

This set is win, simply trust me.

So. Much. Asterisks. No weaknesses or big counter.

Payback is better than Crunch for Crimgan.

ht[IMG] http://archives.bulbagarden...damage. Thunder for less PP and more accuracy

 

[Aurath8]

@dragonflypokemon: Thunder has less accuracy than Thunderbolt, it's not worth the power anyway because of the 70 accuracy. He's also too slow for Volt Change without T-Wave and limits his coverage as all fire resisting grounds own you. T-Wave is a good suggestion though, I second T-Wave over Brick Break on the Shibi I suuggested, make it Modest natured too.

 

[LeoP2008]

Hmm....I like all of these!! ThanX alot. Still got some questions though...

1.) How effective is Dragon Rage for Crimgan?? I friend of mine suggested it for special coverage but considering Crimgan has such a low SpA and Dragon Rage has a set damage, I'm a bit apprehensive.

2.) Do you think the Encourage/Life Orb effect is legit or a glitch??

3.) Why Grass Knot for Shibirudon??

 

[Zenosparadox]

Grass Knot because your enemy will send out a ground type to get immunity to is STAB attack. So grass knot gets a super-effective hit on it, even better if its a heavy pokemon, which more ground/rocks are.
