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

[andresballer03]

I already did on the last page...

well sorry but i dont exactly track someones former comments when im trying to help them. with your team, id actually go with chandelure over arcanine, as the typing will help you against the psychic and ghost elite 4. that leaves you using a special lucario and electivire as your electric type.

[ebevan91]

Currently planning this to be my White 2 team when I get the game in October:

Samurott
Flygon
Lucario
Leafeon (will trade Eevee to White and evolve it)
Camerupt
Electivire

I've actually never used any of these before except for Flygon back when I played Ruby.

Decent team with nice coverage. The only thing you have to remember is that you get the Electrizer very late in the game, so with an Electabuzz for a nice chunk of the game I will say, since I'm doing this, give it an eviolite.

I thought about that as well, but I could also trade it to White and then trade it back to White 2 with it holding the Electirizer. However I may dump it and go for a dark or ghost type, IDK. I need something that can cover ghost and psychic.

You can honestly never go wrong with Chandelure or Golurk.

[ebevan91]

Yeah... I may switch out Camerupt for Chandelure.

[andresballer03]

Yeah... I may switch out Camerupt for Chandelure.

i would since you can get ground tyoe coverage from lucario

For all of you who asked(nobody)! I have constructed a team using only cute and/or adorable pokemon!

@ Wide Lens/Life Orb
Nature: Jolly
~ Rock Blast
~ Bullet Seed
~ Tail Slap
~ U-Turn

You get the chance to capture one with it's dream world ability.

@ Light Ball
Nature: Naive
~ Volt Tackle/Thunderbolt
~ Brick Break
~ Grass Knot
~ Fake Out

Poke-Mascot, Adorable and Excessively Powerful.

@ Life Orb
Nature: Brave
~ Double-Edge
~ Grass Knot
~ Flamethrower
~ Softboiled

It's Clefable!

@ Eviolite
Nature: Timid/Calm
~ Calm Mind
~ Pain Split
~ Thunderbolt
~ Shadow Ball

Misdreavus can use an Eviolite to make it like super strong. You can basically just Calm Mind up and Pain Split/Pop Potions for health then sweep. It's absolutely adorable and on a team based around cute pokemon should be used over Mismagius.

@ Choice Band
Nature: Adamant
~ Aqua Jet
~ Waterfall
~ Ice Punch
~ Double Edge / Superpower

Azumarill is still cute, possibly just as much as Marill. Definitely needs to be on a cute team!

@ Focus Sash
Nature: Timid
~ Sleep Powder/Giga Drain
~ Quiver Dance
~ Bug Buzz
~ Psychic

It's Butterfree~ And nothing is cuter than Butterfree!

No offense but that team needs Togekiss or Emolga to be cuter.

I'd vouch for any of the electric rodents (emolga and pachirusu ftw!) to be on the team, bar Raichu. I'd also add in a member of the Toge-line.

[R_N]

Why would you ever use Focus Sash in-game. You have revives at your disposal!

And, uh, good luck getting that Light Ball. It does exist but man hella trading all up ins

[Moonrox]

Might actually go for Altaria over Crobat (lol, autocorrect Crobat = probate) because I've never liked him. Actually, final team:

Serperior
Lucario
Starmie
Magnezone
Altaria
Delcatty

This. Back when I was 5 and only owned XD:GoD, Delcatty is what caught my Lugia.

I'm actually using Crobat on my Platinum team and I love it. My first time ever using any of the Zubat line. I managed to evolve it in the low 20s, shortly after evolving into Golbat. I had to keep the volume turned off while using Zubat and Golbat because their cries are annoying.

As for Altaria... I now have the sudden urge to load up Platinum and capture a Swablu. I think I'm near the area they are found already.

The scary thing is...you're getting scarily close to my team >.<. I have Crobat as a rotater.

[pokemonsquared]

I did a nuzlocke of the game and ended up with

Samurott
Ampharos
Volcarona
crobat
Krookodile
mienshao

When the wind blows, Butterfree Faints.

I do have a Light Ball.

Even in game it doesn't take much to take out Butterfree. Well unless I uber level, but even then the thing takes hits as well as Pikachu.

Also:

Swapped Pikachu for Emolga and Butterfree for Togekiss for the peeps who brought it up.

@ Wide Lens/Life Orb
Nature: Jolly

Also, I may use this team in Black 2. I said it was between two of my theme teams(the other being Dragons) or the one using a few of my favorites.

I do like just coming up with teams for others like Reddyl for instance. It's a fun way to pass the time.

[Reddyll]

Nice team. You should make a cool team using cool looking pokemons, like:

Snivy
Absol
Staraptor
Kabutops
Scizor
Gallade

[R_N]

I was using a Butterfree for a fair amount in LG recently, it's bulkier than you think so long as you keep it away from rocks and fire. It's special defense actually isn't that bad either so that's nice. It's bulkier than Pikachu in every respect, too.
Trust me I've trained frailer things in the past and for the most part Butterfree can deal just fine. Besides constantly having to replace the Sash is annoying (24 BP a pop for a consumable, yeesh)

Ah but you swapped them out anyway (Togekiss & Emolga are preeeeetty great though).


Oh, also, Cosmic Power on Clefable over Softboiled. Since...the only way to get that is through FRLGE move tutor which going to guess isn't that common~ (Moonlight would also work)
And, uhhhh, Double-Edge as well. Also just a gen 3. Maybe run Stored Power instead if you go with Cosmic Power. Or Return, I guess.
Maybe Ice Beam over Grass Knot? I'm guessing you're running it for Rock types but why not go with the ever more useful Ice Coverage?

like my ideal Clefable for in-game would probably be
Magic Guard
@Life Orb
-Cosmic Power
-Stored Power
-Ice Beam
-Probably Flamethrower maybe Thunderbolt?

Cosmic Power makes you ever more bulky. You can forgo Moonlight (which by the way heals exactly as much as Softboiled in normal weather) since you have Potions/Lemonades. Stored Power to fling stronger and stronger damage at the opponent (60 after 1 boost, 100 after 2!). Ice Beam/Bolt/Thrower for coverage.
Who cares if you don't have stab when you are KILLING EVERYTHING

^ the team in your sig, is that what you're planning on using? I love the fact that you're using Flareon hahaha, nice choice. (though I wish Swanna's animation wasn't so horrible because the empty space between Heracross and Swanna irks me lol).

And ajkshdkfhsdjkfhsjkadf I still can't decide on a final member for my team lol. Advice, please? ^^; (Getting W2 by the way)

Serperior - the starter. I'll be choosing Serperior because I used Oshawott in White, and I'm not a fan of Emboar.
Golduck / Azumarill - not sure which one to go with. I'm probably leaning more towards Azumarill tbh. I'm also considering Mantine because, well, idk, it's kind of cool I guess. It irks me that you can't get one until after Skyla though because I'm so used to having Water-types, buuuut...
Muk - one of my favourite Pokemon. It's low Speed is a bit annoying but I'll live.
Flygon - the Fly-er. One of my favourite Pokemon again, and it's been ages since I last used one (back in the Ruby days yo), so why not?
Beheeyem - I adore Beheeyem's design and it will provide some nice coverage. Also, I figured Golduck would have a similar moveset to Beheeyem (to an extent) which is why I'm leaning more towards Azumarill.

So atm, assuming I go with Azumarill, I have three physical Pokemon (Azumarill, Muk, Flygon) and Beheeyem would be Special. Serperior would probably be Special as well. I've been considering Flareon (though that would make my team exceptionally slow imo) but I just don't know ajskhdkjhfkjashdfkjhsadf HELP PLEASE hahaha.

e: also I've been toying with the idea of completely changing my team and going with Serperior / Azumarill / Camerupt (or Ninetales) / Eviolite-Gligar (or Krookodile) / Crobat / Beheeyem but idk lol.

hey guys, i need to know if using hydreigon on my team is worth it. did ppl struggle getting to lvl 64 with it? how about its pre evo ability, does it make the game harder? id really like to know if i need to potentially switch it out for something else.
