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

I didn't either of those things, thank you! Having an efficient way of making money will certainly make it easier to persist with my Eevee hunt.

Frustrating as it is sometimes, I do appreciate a Pokemon more when I've really had to work for it. I think I'll go make some movies and then keep trying.

Just so y'know the strange ending on the first Brycen-man is the use a non-damaging/move that doesn't KO the enemy for the first move. You'll end the script in One turn and only have to watch a short film.

edit: SOMEONE PLEASE HELP HERE!!!!!

[Andraste]

Finally got a Modest one! It was the fifteenth one I caught, and I evolved it into a Jolteon before I even left Castelia Gardens and took it back to the Pokemon centre to heal up. I think the last time I put that much effort into catching something it was Mewtwo.

The funny part is, while I was waiting for a good potential Jolteon, I caught four Adamant Eevees. (And no, I didn't have a Pokemon with Synchronise in the party messing up the percentages. It was as if the game was mocking me by giving me the exact opposite of what I was looking for.) I have no idea what I'm going to do with four Adamant Leafeons.

[amberfunk]

Finally I decided to choose:

Sigilyph

Solosis

Dewott

Milotic

Axew

Stunfisk

I think I might switch out the milotic for something different since I have a lot of the same weaknesses. Any suggestions?

Last time no one answered me but I still need help building my team D:
I just beat Elesa and I'm leaving Nimbasa City as I'm making this post. This is my current team:

Servine - Level: 32
@Leftovers
Ability: Overgrow
Nature: Relaxed
~ Return
~ Leech Seed
~ Leaf Blade
~ Growth

Azumarill - Level: 32
@Mystic Water
Ability: Huge Power
Nature: Jolly
~ Aqua Tail
~ Return
~ Dig
~ Aqua Ring

Magneton - Level: 32
@Eviolite
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Calm
~ Supersonic
~ Metal Sound
~ Mirror Shot
~ Volt Switch

I don't know what to add to the team and I feel like I'm kinda late with the building process because I'm going to the fifth gym with only three Pokémon. I really wanted a Litwick but I don't know when I will be able to catch it so I still have two free spots on my team. My version is Black 2 and I caught the Mandibuzz which is located on the Desert Resort. I might use it since I need to move around cities with fly but I'm not sure if it's good =/
Please give me suggestions to complete my team a little bit more because I'm sure I won't be able to beat the new Gym like this and I don't want to move on before I get one more Pokémon u.u

[luxray1994]

Once I've finished training and levelling up, my team will be as follows:

Electivire
Arcanine
Vaporeon
Weavile
Krookodile
Reuniclus

Forgoing anything before nimbasa city, I would recommend Heracross (Exclusive to Black 2) and Chandelure (Litwick comes after Gym 5 in the Celestial Tower). If you don't want to work for Chandelure, you can get sigilyph back in the Desert resort.

Heracross would be useful (along with Azumarill) for fighting excadrill, and Chandelure is another special attacker which you really need. Fire/Ghost coverage is great because Fire is good neutral coverage (Fire blast for a powerhouse move), and Ghost for the Psychic/Ghost E4. It also can use Energy Ball / Psychic for some extra coverage. That said, Chandelure works great with an expert belt.

There are 2 expert belts before the elite four. Heracross and Chandelure can use them and almost sweep through the E4 on their own, except maybe fighting. The rest of your team are good neutral fighters.

Lastly, Heracross can beat Hydreigon in 1v1, in my experience. At a high enough level, it takes a fire blast and hits back with close combat.

Adding Heracross and Chandelure gives your team 3 weaknesses to fire, but Chandelure absorbs fire and Azumarill resists it. As for a 6th teammate, I would personally just use an HM slave to make your run easier, but that's up to you.

---------------------------------------------


Anyways, I'm considering an efficient run through B2:

Samurott
Darmanitan
Lilligant
Haxorus
Mienshao
Jolteon

[tenltd]

I'm on my second run through W2... and I forgot about Challenge Mode and killed my save file.

Here's what I'm with now, currently in Undella Town.

Samurott - Lv. 39 - Serious
- Aqua Jet
- X-Scissor
- Surf
- Slash

Volcarona - Lv. 40 - Lax
- Will-O-Wisp
- Whirlwind
- Fly
- Fire Spin

Zoroark - Lv. 39 - Hasty
- Night Slash
- Faint Attack
- Agility
- Torment

Gigalith - Lv. 40 - Adamant
- Rock Slide
- Iron Defense
- Strength
- Power Gem

Magnezone - Lv. 38 - Lonely
- Mirror Shot
- Thunder Wave
- Charge Beam
- Metal Sound

Starmie - Lv. 36 - Quiet (recently caught)
- Surf
- Recover
- Swift
- Confuse Ray

I plan on dropping Samurott soon and adding someone else. I just don't know who, yet.

[Kentheten]

should i use pinsir or vespiquen? i just caught both of them in lostlorn forest and i cant decide which one to use. my other party members are servine and umbreon if it makes a difference.

[Unredemption]

I'd choose Pinsir. Vespiquen's offensive and Speed stats just don't cut it. Pinsir, on the other hand, has slightly less bulk but better speed and way more Attack. Pinsir's movepool is also the better one.

Umbreon... I'm not sure how useful it actually is in-game, since it's meant to be a wall / staller which you don't use that often in-game.

[Copie]

I've got my team in my signature. I'm planning to push them all to about Level 55 before taking on the Elite 4. This is my first playthrough of Black 2 so I was hoping to find out where you all think I stand? Any glaring weaknesses? I found the Elite 4 easy in White, so I want to make sure I'm not biting off more than I can chew in Black 2.

Only thing I see is that against Marshall he could give you some trouble. All but Mienshao knows a Rock Type move, and all know Fighting Type moves, so he has an advantage against all of your Pokemon but Samurott. You better hope Unfezant can KO his Pokemon quickly or you'll be in trouble. But you might have taught some of your other Pokemon a move strong against Fighting Types.

Besides that, I see no big problem. Iris could give you some trouble if you can't get her Haxorus down fast.

Thanks for the advice. As much as I love Excadrill, my EV trained Terrakion fills a similar role. I picked up a Golurk on Victory Road. Certainly not my favorite Pokemon, and he needs some training, but his fighting immunity should help me and he can still bust out a mean Earthquake. He doesn't do the damage my Excadrill did, but he certainly helps me against Marshall.

[Bdb2010]

I have an average team that's I'm rushing with, then I'm gonna catch and train a new team right before the pokemon league (because I want to complete the postgame too). I plan on using pokemon in the very late routes so EV training will be the only obstacle, or else just using what I already have. So what team sounds better to you so far (Post-game movesets)?

Team 1:

-Hydreigon (Crunch / Dragon Pulse / Surf / Flamethrower) *Surf/Flamethrower for special attacks that Darm and Azumarill don't have*
-Espeon (Psychic / Shadow Ball / Calm Mind / Filler) *Actively using; may not use due to subpar SpA EV's
-Darmanitan (Flare Blitz / SuperPower / Rock Slide / Fire Punch / Earthquake / Bulk Up) *Actively using; I gotta choose 4 out those 6 moves
-Azumarill (Waterfall / Double-Edge / SuperPower / Ice Punch)
-Gliscor (Earthquake (bulldoze) / Acrobatics / Ice Fang / Swords Dance) *Swords Dance w/o grinding for BP, yes please.
-Magnezone (T-Bolt / T-Wave / Flash Cannon / Charge Beam) *I don't exactly want to use this, but I want a strong/bulky special attacker that has good synergy with Hydreigon. I have this now but I'd end up training another one with HP/SpA Ev's.


Team 2:

-Hydreigon (Crunch / Dragon Pulse / Flamethrower / new filler) *either Surf, EQ, Superpower, or Focus Blast
-Metagross (Meteor Mash / Earthquake or Hammer Arm / Zen Headbutt or Ice Punch / Agility or Hone Claws) *Dragon Resist
-Mienshao (Fake Out / U-Turn / Hi Jump Kick / Acrobatics) *I'm itching to try this
-Darmanitan (Same As above; Don't want to fully use this, but he balances this team well)
-Jellicent (Surf / Shadow Ball / WoW / Filler ) *either Energy Ball, Hydro Pump, Recover, or even psychic
? Jolteon (Thunderbolt / Signal Beam / 2 Filler) *Anything between Charge Beam, Volt Switch, T-Wave, Light Screen, Magnet Rise, or even Toxic

The last pokemon on each team would take some good grinding but it'll rip through audinos pretty easily once EV's get added (Plus I'll have the Thunderbolt TM at my disposal)

Let me know what you think.

[AGGRON GUY]
