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

[Pilpulp]

Still curious about this.

I have a Arcanine too, I can barely stand Flare Blitz, I might trade it in for a different fire type move. It's moves right now are:
~Outrage
~Crunch
~Extreme Speed
~Flare blitz (Probably going to trade this in)
Extreme Speed is really good, just go to the move relearner in PWT and trade in a heart scale.

Edit: lol forgot the main point, yes imo too much.

Care to take a look at my planned hard mode team two posts up?

[Zenotwapal]

I've got
-Ninetales
-Klinglang
-Reuniclus
-Tropius
-Drapion
-Floatzel

yeah thats my ingame team for White 2

Thanks, and I'd offer you advice but I'm still so new to pokemon and trying to figure semi-basic stuff out that I can't really give people good advice at this point. Sorry =\

[Charoshi]

I need help filling out my next Black 2 team. I really want to use Grumpig and Scolipede(or maybe Leavanny, but Scolipede a bit more) and I have a Drifloon from the dream radar I'llprobably use, but I can't decide what other 3 to use. I see so many potentially crippling weaknesses if I add a non-Emboar fire type, but fire would be a good addition for this team. I also need a water type, and spacing is a big deal for me. Any suggestions?

Edit: How does this team look?

• Drifblim
• Scolipede
• Excadrill
• Eelektross
• Grumpig
• Dewgong

[Shine]

Quoting myself because I didn't get a reply. All I want to know is if there are any moveset changes I should make before battling the Pokemon League.

Replace Strength in Serperior with Return once you've pushed all the rocks down the hole.
Bone Rush on Lucario is not needed, Bullet Punch is better (but that's an egg move), so Extremespeed or Iron Tail can work.
Dragon Pulse/Outrage over Dig on Arcanine.
Flamethrower over Crunch on Flygon.

Others are fine.

Flygon
Level 57
Dragon Claw
Fly
Earth power fine for now, but replace it with Earthquake once you get the TM.
Rock Slide


Aracanine
Level 55
Extreme Speed
Thunder Fang
Dragon Pulse/Outrage
Heat Wave

[Kabloosh]

Well I just recently earned my 7th badge. It was a cake walk to Glaceon but here has been my team since I've essentially started save for exchanging out Raichu for Thundurus when I caught him in the dream radar. I generally like playing with a dragon type in my party but this time I decided not to. I also end up having too many flying types making me vulnerable to ice and electric types. Still, my one only problem is that 5 out of 6 on my team at all special attack types. It hasn't been too much of an issue though.

Gardevoir L47 F
Psychic, Quirky Nature, Synchronize
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Thunder Wave
Calm Mind
I caught this one in my Heartgold game and traded it over when I first was able to trade with my black game. She was pretty weak until she finally reached her final evolution stage. Shes also in a quick ball.

Thundurus L47 M
Electric/Flying, Impish Nature, Volt Absorb
Discharge
Volt Switch
Bite
Revenge
Hes powerful and has a great ability however hes got a bad nature. It does fortunately go into defense which is his weakest stat so special defense and defense are pretty close but I do lose out in in his primary attack stat which is a bummer. Still, hes one of my strongest guys plus hes from dream radar.

Charizard L52 M
Fire/Flying, Hardy Nature, Blaze
Flamethrower
Dragon Pulse
Blast Burn
Smokescreen
Generally when this comes out the enemy dies in one hit from Blast Burn. Flamethrower and Dragon Pulse are still good. I'm not too sure about Smokescreen though. I've yet to really use it and since Charizard generally kills things fast I probably should pick out a different ability eventually. For now I haven't really needed to though. I raised him in my black game too so hes been around with me since the beginning.

Samurott L45 M
Water, Quiet Nature, Torrent
Water Pulse
Surf
Slash
Focus Energy
The faithful starter... I guess. There aren't that many opponents weak to water in this game so it feels kind of useless at times compared to my other guys. When I face off against the elite 4 I'm expecting to use Gardevior half the time.

Glaceon L52 M
Ice, Hardy Nature, Snow Cloak
Frost Breath
Bite
Blizzard
Hail
This guy is so bad *** I'm glad I picked it up and evolved it in black so I could move it over to white 2. With the hail/blizzard combination he just tears through dragons and flying types without much effort. Granted I've been relying on Frost Breath since L8 as well so that kind of has been a bummer. I really would like to pick up Ice Beam and something to replace bite since its got crappy attack.

Lucario L48 F
Fight/Steel, Quirky Nature, Justified
Force Palm
Dig
Swords Dance
Ice Punch
This is actually my second Lucario which I picked up from the dream radar so it has a cool dream pokeball. I liked its justified ability over the standard one I got from the one I caught in the wild. I taught it Ice Punch for the hell of it. I've also been waiting to pick up a better fighting move than Force Palm.

[Sammy1312]

Hi, new to the forums and this is my first post.

I've already beaten the main game, my team consisted of:

-Serperior
-Ampharos
-Lucario
-Magmar
-N's Zoroark
-Starmie

Now I'm going to try a Monotype playthrough for the first time. I'm leaning towards Bug-Type, as I want to try out Leavanny and Vespiquen, because I haven't used either before. I also would've liked to use a Yanma, since I haven't used one since my first HG playthrough, but they aren't obtainable until Post-Game I believe.

Can anyone offer any suggestions or input?

[Mr.Munchlax]

I just finished beating Roxie on Black 2 & I'm ready to head off to Castelia City. This is my team so far:
Oshawott lv. 17 @ Soothe Bell
Naughty
Razor Shell
Water Gun
Double Team
Water Sport

Sewaddle lv. 15 @ none
Docile
Razor Leaf
Bug Bite
String Shot
Cut (Going to replace after I reach Driftveil City & the move deleter)

Swablu lv. 14 @ none (going to replace with Zubat once I catch it
Rash
Sing
Peck
Fury Attack
Safeguard

Growlithe lv. 18 @ none
Quiet
Ember
Return
Leer
Flame Wheel

Any comments or suggestions would be highly appreciated

[Crobat_Curse]

Location: Aspertia City

[63] Penn ♂ {Quirky}
Flamethrower, Psychic, Thunderpunch, Cross Chop

[65] Mitchell ♂ {Modest}
Hyper Voice, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Calm Mind

[63] Busker {Brave}
Zen Headbutt, Toxic, Earthquake, Iron Head

[63] Pandora ♀ {Rash}
Air Slash, Uproar, Heat-Wave, Fly

[64] Wheezy ♂ {Mild}
Aqua Tail, Ice Punch, Crunch, Surf

[63] Flo ♀ {Adamant}
Dragon Dance, Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Cotton Guard

Recently finished EV training them after resetting them all using the reduction berries. Took a while but I figured it was necessary if I wanted to take on the PWT. Completed the Pokemon League too, Iris was ridiculously easy; Busker took out Hydreigon and Mitchell got to +6 Special Attack/Defense by setting up on Aggron and proceeded to sweep the remainder of her team!

[Miror B...]

Just heading to the seventh gym now. Here's my current team:


Charizard
Level 48
Nature: Rash
- Flamethrower
- Earthquake
- SolarBeam
- Fly (Will change later- any suggestions for Charizard's fourth move?)


Carracosta
Level 46
Nature: Adamant
- Aqua Tail
- Earthquake
- Super Power
- Shell Smash


Flygon
Level 46
Nature: Timid
- Earthquake
- Flamethrower
- Sunny Day (to set up Charizard for SolarBeam...I plan on using Flygon and Charizard together quite a bit in triple battles.)
- Dragon Claw (will soon swap for Draco Meteor however.)


Eelektross
Level 47
Nature: Calm
- Thunderbolt
- Crunch
- Brick Break
- Grass Knot


Weavile
Level 51
Nature: Jolly
- Ice Punch
- Night Slash
- Brick Break
- Sword Dance

...

And I'm currently training my 6th member (at the moment, he's a level 30 Kirlia). Here's my planned moveset for him:


Gallade
Nature: Adamant
- Psycho Cut
- Close Combat
- Night Slash
- Hypnosis

[BorrelnootjeNL]

Have finished Black 2 (at least the main plot and Black Tower), and I must say it has been the first time since the R/B/Y games I actually trained a team to the higher regions of levels. (around 90). So, I finished the Tower and the game with these, I'll add some extra info for people who might think to use one of these.

Emboar (lvl 90)
- Flamethrower
- Hammer Arm
- Stone Edge
- Work Up

First time I have raised a Tepig and onward without a Exp. Share for the Dex and it has been doing it's job most of the time. Did however notice it was fragile, but it compensates with raw power. It has a sp. attack raised nature, so a mixed set works just fine. Work helps with that, although I mostly just vaporize anything without the boost. If you raise one, get a heart scale and teach it Hammer Arm ASAP when you reach the PWT, or you'll have to stick with Arm Thrust...

Ampharos (@ Leftovers) (lvl. 90)
- Thunderbolt/Electro Ball
- Cotton Guard
- Thunder Wave
- Signal Beam

Didn't really know what to train when I was starting, so decided to go with Mareep. At first I thought I was going for a full attacker set, but while not realising it I was building a very robust tank with a manual. Cotton Guard is beast, as most of the pokemon you'll encounter are physically build, and Ampharos is bulky overall. Leftovers is early accesible, making it even stronger. Thunder Wave to slow down opponents, and then Electro Ball for massive damage. Even as a Flaafy it OHKO'ed lots of it opposition, even with neutral damage. Signal Beam fills in the last slot for more coverage and to actually do something against ground and grass types. Static helps with the good defense, you'll paralyze some of your opponents while setting up cotton.

N's Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip
- Cursee
- Ingrain

Didn't realise the fuzz about Ferrothorn until I actually raised one.... wow. It took me the journey-span of 2 to 3 badges before it actually got knocked out once. Combo of barbs and helmet punishes the opponent with 25% damage each time they hit you physically, while you barely take damage (unless its fire punch or a strong fighting move...). Most of the time against trainers with multiple pokes you can set up against the first one and when they kill themselves youre ready to take down everything they have left. And It's strong enough to take most out in one hit anyway.

Gigalith (lv. 63)
- Stone Edge
- Strength
- Iron Head
- Stealth Rock

Useful during the first part of the game, but harder to raise in the long run because it is so weak on the special side of the spectrum. So I actually raised 5 pokémon during a part of the game.
---------------------
Latios (lv. 90) @ Soul Dew
- Dragon Pulse
- Psychic
- Fly
- Surf

Suddenly encountered it and wasn't able to save, so I decided to train it in game, since it had a speed decreasing nature. Ev's from the Join Avenue did patch some things up though. It is a beast, and is nice to have alongside during the Tower, as it is very versatile. Also handy as a HM Slave to surf and fly everywhere. Dragon Pulse and Psychic for STAB.

Haxorus (lv. 90)
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Claw
- False Swipe/Taunt
- Shadow Claw

It's a monser, that sweeps through entire teams, and comes in handy against 6 poké trainers like Ghetsis and N. It's power is brutal, and leaves only few pokemon unharmed. It is almost easy mode with him, but I have never trained one before.

Gardevoir
- Psychic
- Calm Mind
- Thunderboltilities
- Hypnosis/Wish

Got it from Dream Radar, as I really liked Gardevoir since its introduction in Gen 3, so I directly wanted to train one myself in this round. Nice Psychic type with good attack posibilities, and when things might get ugly Hypnosis and then heal everything back up.

Now I'm starting to collect al Unova pokémon for the charm, and train a Gible while doing it. So I think I'm going for Mono-Dragon team first in the medal rally .

[AllyNidhogg]

Here's my White 2 team (Which is heavily influenced by my Nuzlocke Run, by the way) I'm currently at Nacrene City, as I've beaten the Elite Four.

Malcolm the Bisharp Lv. 68
Naughty Nature
Swords Dance / Night Slash / Iron Head / Shadow Claw

I might consider replacing Swords Dance, as Defiant does a similar job anyway. His job is pretty much to destroy anything Psychic or anything with squishy Defense.

Marco the Chandelure Lv. 68
Adamant Nature (D'oh!)
Will-O-Wisp / Flame Burst / Energy Ball / Shadow Ball

Got really unlucky with his nature, but anyway; Will-O-Wisp is there for those with murderous Attack, otherwise he's a decent Sp.Attacker despite his nature.

Diana the Sandslash Lv. 68
Mild Nature
Swords Dance / X-Scissor / Earthquake / Strength
She's here to take hits, and she's also great at dealing damage as well. One thing though. Mild Nature... WHY??

Sidney the Mienshao Lv. 70
Calm Nature
Drain Punch / Force Palm / U-Turn / Acrobatics
Here to easily take down Fighters, Volcarona, etc. Acrobatics without items is op in single-player, just sayin.

Fafnir II the Serperior Lv. 69
Hardy Nature
Return / Coil / Leech Seed / Leaf Blade

One of the members who originally died in my Nuzlocke, against the E4. Might want to revise his moveset, and give him more of an annoying set, with Toxic / Leech Seed / Protect / Coil or something like that.

Amanda the Lapras Lv. 76
Rash Nature
Rain Dance / Surf / Ice Beam / Thunderbolt

My other member who also died against the Champion.

Another Sp.Attacker. Might want to replace Thunderbolt with Thunder (if it's possible, I don't know) for more power. (As I have the rain to cover the accuracy issue.) I hoped for her to be a decent wall as well, but well... not really. (0 IVs at Sp.Def, yaaay)

Also, she's overlevelled because of the Join Avenue.

If you want to give feedback, then do as you wish

Looks good to me. If you replace SD, get Brick break.

Marco the Chandelure Lv. 68
Adamant Nature (D'oh!)
Will-O-Wisp / Flame Burst / Energy Ball / Shadow Ball

Got really unlucky with his nature, but anyway; Will-O-Wisp is there for those with murderous Attack, otherwise he's a decent Sp.Attacker despite his nature. Teach it Flamethrower over Flame Burst.

Diana the Sandslash Lv. 68
Mild Nature
Swords Dance / X-Scissor / Earthquake / Strength
She's here to take hits, and she's also great at dealing damage as well. One thing though. Mild Nature... WHY??
Looks good, but when you push all the boulders down the holes, replace Str with Shadow Claw.

Sidney the Mienshao Lv. 70
Calm Nature
Drain Punch / Force Palm / U-Turn / Acrobatics
Here to easily take down Fighters, Volcarona, etc. Acrobatics without items is op in single-player, just sayin.
Hi Jump Kick over Force Palm. IMO, it is too frail for Drain Punch. Fake Out > Drain Punch.

Fafnir II the Serperior Lv. 69
Hardy Nature
Return / Coil / Leech Seed / Leaf Blade

One of the members who originally died in my Nuzlocke, against the E4. Might want to revise his moveset, and give him more of an annoying set, with Toxic / Leech Seed / Protect / Coil or something like that.

Good.

Psychic over Rain Dance as you have a Fire type and a Ground type on the team.

Also, she's overlevelled because of the Join Avenue.

Comments in bold.

[Shine]

Lucario
Adamant/Jolly Nature
Ability: Steadfast
Moves:
Ice Punch
Rock Slide
Close Combat/Brick Break
Metal Claw

fully Physical set because your team has enough Special attackers.


Chandelure
Modest/Timid Nature
Ability: Flash Fire
Moves:
Calm Mind
Flamethrower/Heat Wave
Shadow Ball
Energy Ball

You also can keep W-o-W instead of replacing it with CM.


Magnezone
Modest/Calm/Bold Nature
Item: Magnet
Ability: Magnet Pull
Moves:
Thunderbolt
Flash Cannon (you can use Mirror Shot until you get the Flash Cannon TM)
Signal Beam
Thunder Wave

There's also Tri Attack, but it's too late for that.


Emboar
Mild/Rash Nature
Item: Charcoal
Ability: Blaze
Moves:
Brick Break
Rock Slide
Flamethrower
Scald

Much better, in terms of coverage. Literally no Pokemon needs more than 1 STAB move, unless they serve different purpose (for example, having Return and Quick Attack on Swellow, one is the usual attacking move, the other is a priority move used to finish foes with low HP)


Skarmory
Adamant/Impish/Jolly Nature
Item: Sharp Beak
Ability: Keen Eye
Moves:
Swords Dance
Rock Slide
Fly
Steel Wing

I don't know what makes you think Cut is really needed.


Vaporeon
Modest/Calm Nature
Item: Exp Share (usually Mystic Water)
Ability: Water Absorb
Moves:
Ice Beam
Surf
Shadow Ball
Hyper Voice

This is much better, in terms of coverage. There's no need to have both Hydro Pump and Surf since they serve the same purpose, high powered standard attacking move

Comments in bold

Thundurus
Impish Nature, Volt Absorb
Discharge
Volt Switch
Crunch
Brick Break/Focus Blast

yeah, the bad Nature sucks (especially since we can get only 1.....)


Charizard
Hardy Nature, Blaze
Flamethrower
Dragon Pulse
Air Slash
Earthquake

Blast Burn is a bad move because of the charging turn, especially since Charizard isn't exactly good at taking a hit, which it must do while it is a sitting duck for a turn due to the charging turn. Flamethrower can do the job, it actually deals more damage over two turns than Blast Burn over 2 turns. Flamethrower has a total of 190 base power over two turns, while Blast Burn only has 150, not to mention the accuracy and PP.


Samurott
Quiet Nature, Torrent
Grass Knot
Surf
Ice Beam
Return

There's no need to have Water Pulse when it has Surf. Focus Energy + Slash takes too long, and there's still a chance to not inflict a crit. Might as well increase your coverage instead.


Glaceon
Hardy Nature, Snow Cloak
Ice Beam
Shadow Ball
Signal Beam
Hyper Voice

Hail isn't a good idea when your team isn't built around it.


Lucario
Quirky Nature, Justified
Aura Sphere
Shadow Claw
Swords Dance
Ice Punch

Ghost + Fight has a great coverage. Aura Sphere because with that Nature, its SAtk is untouched, which means it is perfectly usable.

comments in bold

Charizard
Nature: Rash
- Flamethrower
- Earthquake
- SolarBeam
- Air Slash

Don't worry, you're not the first person I see to forgot Charizard learns Air Slash



Carracosta
Nature: Adamant
- Aqua Tail
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Shell Smash

Ground & Fight has similar coverage, so you only need one of them. Besides, SE gives it another STAB move, and Rock + Ground has a wide coverage. Superpower is bad due to the side effect, especially since this is a Shell Smash set.



Flygon
Nature: Timid
- Earth Power
- Flamethrower
- Sunny Day (to set up Charizard for SolarBeam...I plan on using Flygon and Charizard together quite a bit in triple battles.)
- Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse

eh, Flygon is usually a physical attacker....but it can use a fully Special set, since yours is Timid anyway. Though Modest would've been much better, as it needs the SAtk boost more, especially with Draco Meteor on the set.



Eelektross
Level 47
Nature: Calm
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower
- Acid Spray
- Grass Knot

It's Calm, so go with a fully Special set.

comments in bold

Emboar
Mild/Rash Nature
- Flamethrower
- Hammer Arm
- Stone Edge
- Scald

Like you said, its power is so great Work Up goes unneeded most of the time. So replace it with Scald.


Ampharos @ Leftovers
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt/Electro Ball
- Cotton Guard
- Thunder Wave
- Signal Beam

Moveset's fine.


N's Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip
- Curse
- Ingrain

N's means it has Bashful Nature....still okay, I guess. Moveset's fine.


Gigalith
Adamant Nature
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Curse
- Return

Rock + Ground has a wide coverage. In fact it is so wide Iron Head is not needed. Strength is also not needed anymore once you've pushed all the rocks down the hole.


Latios @ Soul Dew
Modest/Timid Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Psychic
- Fly
- Surf

I guess Fly is for traveling purpose, so fine.


Haxorus
Adamant/Jolly Nature, Mold Breaker ability (Rivalry and Unnerve are bad)
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake

Again, Rock + Ground has a wide coverage.


Gardevoir
Modest/Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Hypnosis/Wish

Fine, though I personally prefer Shadow Ball for the last move.

Comments in bold

Malcolm the Bisharp
Adamant Nature
Stone Edge/X-Scissor / Night Slash / Iron Head / Brick Break

Defiant isn't a reliable way to get an Attack boost, but if you must replace it, then go with Stone Edge/X-Scissor. Dark + Fight has a wide coverage. Dark & Ghost shares similar coverage, so it's pointless to have both.



Marco the Chandelure
Modest Nature
Will-O-Wisp / Flamethrower/Heat Wave / Energy Ball / Shadow Ball

You're past the E4 and you are still using Flame Burst?



Diana the Sandslash
Adamant/Jolly Nature
Swords Dance / X-Scissor / Earthquake / Rock Slide

There's no need for Strength once you've pushed all the rocks down the hole.



Sidney the Mienshao
Adamant/Jolly Nature
Drain Punch / [b] / U-Turn / Acrobatics

Hopefully its ability is Regenerator, it works very well with U-Turn.


Fafnir II the Serperior
Hardy Nature
Return / Coil / Leech Seed / Leaf Blade

Fine, though Adamant Nature is much preferred.



Amanda the Lapras
Rash Nature
Return / Surf / Ice Beam / Thunderbolt

She has Rash Nature, which is good because her SDef IV is 0 anyway + that means her Attack stat is untouched, so she can go Mixed. Besides, your team is not a Rain team, so having Rain Dance is not always a good thing.

Comments in bold

[Kabloosh]

Interesting input. A lot of the moves my pokemon know is through leveling though so I haven't had the option to swap out some of the moves for better ones. I'll fiddle with move typing when I get more TMs and beat the elite 4. I don't exactly have the luxury right now to be playing with moves. Yeah I noticed my Lucario pretty much shares the same attack/SAtk but I have been focusing more on EVs with attack so I try to keep attack based moves on him. Glaceon has the worst leveling move set up. Only reason it has been so awesome is because I taught Frost Breath before I traded it over. Blizzard and Hail are the 2 Ice moves that really started having any impact on using anything other than Frost Breath. Thundurus isn't a complete wash either. His attack stat is generally 10 pts under his special and at least the loss in SAtk has gone into defense which looked to be his worst stat so hes not extremely vulnerable to physical attacks. I did consider replacing Thundurus with my Zapdos from HG since he got a boost of SAtk at the cost of speed but I really dislike pressure. Why does almost every legendary got to have this terribly boring ability?
Samurott is really there for surfing. Hes my least favorite on my team and I may replace him with Lapris eventually or whatever. He also looks really stupid. I don't know how a otter evolves into a giant Walrus with a retarded horn on its head.

[GildedScizor]

On another note I'm going to put a back-up team together soon for purely in-game purposes, and it's going to comprise of a bunch of my favourite pokemon that I've never really gotten a chance to use. It's fairly Dragon-oriented but here's what I'm thinking:

Kingdra
Hydro Pump
Brine
Ice Beam
Dragon Pulse

Roserade
Energy Ball
Sludge Bomb
Psychic
Shadow Ball

Volcarona
Heat Wave
Quiver Dance
Bug Buzz
Hurricane

Salamence
Fly
Outrage
Flamethrower
????

Electivire
Thunderpunch
Earthquake
Brick Break
Ice Punch

Garchomp
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Outrage
????

Just need help finalising Garchomp and Salamence. Ideally I'd also like a more solid flying-type move like Air Slash, but if not I'll have to make do with Hurricane and Fly.

Thinking of replacing Garchomp with either Darkrai or Gliscor. The Darkrai is actually from an event on my old Diamond game, thus it has Roar of Time and Spacial Rend. Heart says Darkrai but head says Gliscor. Could someone show me what the best moveset would be for either to fit into that team?

[Shine]

Darkrai
Modest/Timid Nature
~Dark Void
~Spacial Rend
~Dark Pulse
~Focus Blast

Gliscor
Impish Nature
~Rock Slide/X-Scissor/Ice Fang
~Aerial Ace/Acrobatics
~Earthquake
~Swords Dance

[GildedScizor]

Darkrai
Modest/Timid Nature
~Dark Void
~Spacial Rend
~Dark Pulse
~Focus Blast

Gliscor
Impish Nature
~Rock Slide/X-Scissor/Ice Fang
~Aerial Ace/Acrobatics
~Earthquake
~Swords Dance

Thanks, definitely thinking Gliscor is the more versatile option. Would go with Rock Slide (or maybe even Stone Edge) for the first option and Acrobatics for the second. Also, if Gliscor has Earthquake then I could free up space on Electivire for something else. Maybe a Steel-type move or something.
