Official BW2 IN-GAME Team Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

[hksgh0st]

So I have changed my future team. The amount of Arcanines have got out of hand

Samurott-
Surf
Aqua tail
X-scissor
Ice beam

Ninetales
Nasty plot
Flamethrower
Energy ball
Extrasensory

Flygon
Fly
Earthquake
Dragon claw
Fire punch/Giga drain

Lucario
Aura Spear
Ice punch
Extremespeed
Strength-for story

Excadrill
Swords dance
Earthquake
Rock slide
Brick break

Glaceon
Ice beam
Shadowball
Signal beam
Toxic

I am going to trade over Glaceon and a Vulpix from my other game

itsnice to see a ninetales will it have drought?

 

[.Bambi.]

liepards movepool has mostly physical attack sso if you plan on using it, it would be best to use a physical set

Yes, but thanks to the move tutors in B2/W2 it has access to moves like Dark Pulse and Hyper Voice which makes Nasty Plot more useful.

I'm just going to catch whichever I encounter first, Adamant or Modest, because I'm getting impatient. It has moves now that work with either nature and besides I'm just using it for the narrative. It sucks because I could trade over my Synchronize Adamant Gardevoir and Modest Espeon but I have to wait until after Cheren and I want to start training it now :'(

The amount of Arcanines have got out of hand

There are a lot of Samurotts, Lucarios and Flygons as well (and your future team has the three Pokémon)

 

[Cerex]

My plan is fairly ambitious. Currently in White I have a boxes filled with my favorites from each generation. My plan is after I defeat Cheren to trade over each of them to Black 2. That's a 150 trades, which will take a couple of days, but I don't like to release Pokemon, so I don't want to get attached to any thing I capture in Black 2. So if I do it early the better. My thinking is to give each of the initial Pokemon an expensive item to sell buy Pokeballs to transfer over.

Once that happens I will probably be using a variety of Pokemon from each generation. I really want to focus on my Hoenn and Johto set.

 

[Toast-n-bacon]

No, I have not done a lot of the dream world to get a drought Vulpix. But if it did I would have solarbeam instead of energyball.

 

[Dragalge]

No, I have not done a lot of the dream world to get a drought Vulpix. But if it did I would have solarbeam instead of energyball.

Vulpix is also in a Hidden Hollow as well.

 

[richi3f]

I'd choose Electabuzz! I'm planning to have a Galvantula in my team, but that's just because Electabuzz is exclusive to White 2 and I'll be getting Black 2.

 

[Torterra62]

How early can you trade with BW? I want to put Cyndaquil and Tutwig on my team, along with:

Oshawott
Braviary
Electabuzz
Haxorus

You can trade after defeat Gym 1

I plan this team fow W2

- Serperior
- Lucario
- Volcarano
- Jellicant

Not plan for other 2 yet. Whot should I add or remove?

5) Camerupt

-I love Ground types and needed a Fire type so Camerupt was a great choice. I've never used one before and am really liking its movepool. The whole 4x Water weakness is a pain but hey, who cares.

Camerupt is one of my favourite Fire Pokémon and I also like Ground Pokémon. I would definitely train him again if there is an hypothetical Sapphire remake.

If you want to avoid an instant KO from Water attacks you can have a Camerupt with Solid Rock ability. It will reduce the super effective attacks. If you are going to train it since the beginning, catch a Numel with Simple ability. It will change from Simple to Solid Rock after evolving.

You can trade after defeat Gym 1

You have Grass, Fire, Water and Fighting/Steel. A good choice could be an Electric Pokémon like Electivire or Eelektross. Galvantula is another good Electric choice but you already have another Bug, Volcarona.

 

[Gamblor]

Sorry, but before I start thinking about who should be my final team member...
How do you get Shards in the games?

That's offtopic. This is about teams. Go to the official help thread up there.

Blah. Sorry about that.

 

[Torosiken]

At the end I am using Emboar, Lucario, Azumarill, Emolga, Swoobat, and Espeon ._.
two fights, two flyings, two psychics... whatever XDDD

Thinking to give Emboar Thunderpunch so she can counter water and flying

 

[WhiteBlair]

As for planning to get Black 2 in October 12, Here is my full team:

Serperior

I couldnt decide if should I choose Oshawott or Snivy.However in these games move tutors gave chance to us to teach Serperior benefical options like Aqua Tail, Outrage, Dragon Pulse e.t.c. so for the first time I'll go with Serperior.

Moves: Aqua Tail, Outrage/Dragon Pulse, Leaf Blade, Coil

Vaporeon

I like to see an eeveeloution in my team for the time being. Since our team is just consist of 6 pokemon. I'd like to go with an eeveeloution that is powerful and can learn surf and ice beam. So far, Vaporeon is the best choice.

Moves : Surf, Ice Beam, ... , ...


Arcanine

Outrage, Wild Charge, Flare Blitz. these are great options to run on Arcanine while I really need a strong fire type in my team. As we can obtain a Growlithe in early in the game. It's the best option in the game so far. At least for me.

Moves : Outrage, Flare Blitz, Wild Charge, Crunch/Extreme Speed

Electivire

Mareep was also one of my options. But Electivire's huge movepool and both special attack and attack made me think about Electivire. It's definitely will be in my team

Moves : IcePunch, Wild Charge, Earthquake, A fighting move

Crobat

As we took our first steps in Gen 5, I never liked Unfezant. So I'd love a Crobat to have it in my team with huge speed and attack. Also Acrobatics, Confuse Ray, Cross Poison and Fly are enough for me to complete the game.

Moves: Acrobatics, Fly, Confuse Ray, Cross Poison

Lucario

Steel plus Fighting type is just amazing and unique to dazzle the teams in the game. Also it's good to have lots of resistances for good types like being immune to poison e.t.c. A great choice for my team.

Moves: Aura Sphere, Earthquake, Extreme Speed, ... ,

I would be pleased if you review my team. Thanks!

[Calamity Lynn]

OK, this team might sound a bit weird.

My set plan is aimed at doing Challenge Mode White Version 2 when its released in english. (I assume you can use the japanese game's challenge key for the english version?)

So I bred up 6 darling pokémon favorites. While my Hipster instincts dislike having a lead that pretty much everyone in this thread wants to run... oh well! I love my Calamity.

These move sets shall express the endgame plan, so it includes move tutor, relearning, and egg moves.

Calamity - *Flygon [Jolly] Levitate (Yes, she is shiny.)
Outrage - Earthquake
Fire Punch - Stone Edge

Rascal - Galvantula [Timid] CompoundEyes
Thunder - Bug Buzz
Thunder Wave - Giga Drain

Bailey - Feraligatr [Jolly] Torrent
Aqua Tail - Ice Punch
Dragon Dance - Earthquake

Wildfire - Rapidash [Jolly] Flash Fire
Flare Blitz - Megahorn
Drill Run - Hypnosis

Jack/Jackie - Crobat [Adamant] Inner Focus (Only one that isn't finalized.)
Cross Poison - Brave Bird
U-Turn - Confuse Ray

Pride - Scrafty [Adamant] Moxie
Crunch - Drain Punch
Ice Punch - Dragon Dance


All are EV trained with near flawless IV spreads. Aside from the shiny. Her IVs are high, but sadly not near-flawless.




As for my planned japanese Black 2 run? Two words. Bug Monotype.

Solis - Volcarona [Timid] Flame Body
Quiver Dance - Heat Wave
Hurricane/Psychic - Bug Buzz

Maxie - Scizor [Adamant] Technician
Bullet Punch - Acrobatics/Pursuit
Swords Dance - Substitute

Scyther [Jolly] Technician (I am in the process of breeding this one.)
Bug Bite - Aerial Ace
Roost - Swords Dance

Alice - Heracross [Adamant] Guts
Megahorn - Close Combat
Rock Slide - Earthquake

Blocky - Crustle [Brave] Shell Armor (Yes, another shiny!)
Rock Wrecker - Earthquake
Stealth Rock - Double Team/X-Scissor (Lol, evasion... I am so silly.)



Sadly, the sixth member of my Bug Monotype team is Rascal, the Galvantula, but I am saving him for Challenge Mode.

 

[Nacreous]

I'm at Celestial Tower and so far my team consists of:

Lucario-lvl 40

Heracross-lvl 37

Darmanitan-lvl 37

Frillish-lvl 32

Do you think Jellicent is worth the training?Is it a good pkmn in-game?cuz Frillish is kinda sucky,well...not entirely...Cursed Body is a nice ability that comes in handy but I'm not used to defensive pkmn
