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

[Bdb2010]

This is my planned team:

Samurott

Arcanine

Electivire

Lucario

Leafeon

Weaville

Does anyone know if its possible to get a Sneasel before the elite 4? Also will I be able to have this team fully evolved by the E4 with regards to evolution items and stuff?

Thanks.

You get sneasel very late, but you can give it whatever stat vitamins you have and teach it Ice Punch + Low Kick via move tutor, then use a heart scale to learn Night Slash (as a Weavile)

Also, I should note, you can't get leafeon unless you trade eevee to BW1, lvl up at pinwheel forest, and trade back. (The area is after the E4 on Bw2).

One more thing, be cautious of ground moves because you have the Fire-Electric-Steel combination. (THE EARTHQUAKE TRIANGLE)

[Squirtlemasterr]

(Only)Black 2 team will be:

Samurott

Ferrothorn

Volcorona/Chandalure

Krookodile

Scrafty/Lucario

Hydreigon

[The Red Thunder]

I hear ya. I'm just not one to normally say "oh so and so is better" or "use this instead". I try to be supportive of the choices people make. I didnt think about the physcial moves maractus could use. It is only in-game afterall so it would work. Crustle is an excellent pokemon. Shell Smash is an awesome move then follow it up with its stab moves and filler move of your choice. I think you should go with Crustle. I think you'd like it

Yeah, I'm thinking that it's probably better than Gigalith. Bug will give it resistance to Ground (so Clay won't be as rough) and Grass to cancel out Rock's weakness to them, and Rock will give it resistance to Fire and Flying to cancel out Bug's weakness to them. Comparable defensive values to Gigalith, also has access to Sturdy, and a much larger move pool. Even better, its base stats as a Dwebble aren't terrible, and it evolves at a fairly normal level.

So,I had decided my White team a week or so ago , but today when I looked at the type effectiveness chart,I found that 3 of my Pokemon are weak to Flying(Serperior/Pinsir/Scrafty) and three to Rock(Swanna/Magmortar/Pinsir).So,what I was wondering was would Skyla be difficult to beat and are there any trainer with strong rock type which can give me trouble in the game?Against flying,the only Pokemon of mine which will have an advantage is Probopass even though others will have coverage moves like Thunderbolt(Magmortar),Ice Beam(Swanna),Stone Edge(Pinsir) and Head Smash(Scrafty).Is this coverage enough?

There really aren't any tough rock trainers, just the usual hiker every once and a while but your Scrafty or Serperior can dispose of them.

Skyla isn't that tough in my opinion... just use Probobass and the moves that you listed above. I'm sure you'll be fine.

I'm still having trouble finding a pokemon that can learn fly.Altaria/Flygon/Drifblim/Crobat they all come to mind.. what would u guys pick?

Flygon is not a flying Pokemon.It is Ground/Dragon but it can learn Fly.If you need a Good Pokemon that can use Fly,then go for Flygon or Golurk.But if you want a proper flying type,then there are many Pokemon.Out of those four I think Drifblim would be a good option but if you prefer more offensive Pokemon,you can use Crobat as well.

[Dragon Booster90]

Alright I'm thinking of changing one of my team members for Black 2 for Metagross since I got too many weaknesses. Which one I should change?
I have; Serperior, Arcanine, Lapras, Lucario, Nidoqueen.
The first 3 I've already decided I'm going to use, so either Lucario or Nidoqueen. I don't have an idea for a 6th member, but I don't want my 6th member to be Metagross.

If I do use Metagross, I'm thinking of this moveset:

Metagross @
Adamant Nature
- Hone Claws
- Hammer Arm
- Earthquake
- Thunderpunch/Ice Punch/Zen Headbutt


For my 6th member I'm thinking of using a pokemon that can learn flying or rock type moves and doesn't give me too many more weaknesses. Suggestions on what I should use?
I just have been really clueless on what to use for my Black 2 playthrough when I get the game. >.>

[Giblie]

Here is what I got so far for my planned White 2 team.
Any suggestions for movesets is appreciated.

Samurott
(I hope to get a neutral nature or something)
-Surf
-X-Scissor/Megahorn
-Ice Beam
-Return/?

Lucario
(Neutral nature or something)
-Aura Sphere
-Dragon Pulse
-Dark Pulse
-Ice Punch

Scolipede
Adamant nature
-Aqua Tail
-Rock Slide
-Strength/Megahorn(will replace Strength after all boulders are taken care of)
-Earthquake

Lilligant
Modest nature
-Quiver Dance
-Sleep Powder
-Petal Dance
-Giga Drain

Ninetales
Modest nature
-Flamethrower
-Nasty Plot
-Energy Ball
-Dark Pulse

Flygon
(something neutral probably)
-Dragon Claw/Outrage
-Fly (my flyer)
-Earth Power/Earthquake
-Fire Punch/Crunch

Well that's it. But any other move suggestions are welcome. Probably three of these might be bred in my Black.

Yeah plus you won't have to go through the hassle of trading

[Chimchar15]

Well here's my planned team for black2:

Emboar, Azumarill, Muk, Swoobat, Tangrowth, and Bisharp. From what I researched on the main site all of these guys should be available during the main game.

Here's a good moveset for metagross!

Agility
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Zen Headbutt

Just 1 setup and itll be unstoppable

[Dragoniteftw]

I need help deciding between 2 team options. I have movesets all worked out so I don't need any help with that.

But I am not sure whether to use unova pokemon I still want to use but haven't due to only buying one copy of white. It seems a waste not using them now.

TEAM 1:



NOTES:
- bit physical (meh its in game)
- jellicent really useful toxic/recover
- pretty much hit anything super effective
- braviary is early now!(white 2) and haxorus isn't too late in-game either
- darmanitan, excadrill, haxuros can pretty much solo anything
- will probs run screens on serperior
- braviary decent flyer

TEAM 2:

Or whether to make use of the newly added pokemon obtainable in BW2? (pokemon i've already used some)



NOTES:
- vaporeon wish/toxic for stalling just incase
- lucario is useful for sweeping through E4
- all obtained early on
- flygon as a flyer but doesn't hit has hard has haxorus
- hydreigon could be used instead of flygon but seems a waste of a move using fly as special attacks would be better

thanks for the help!!

That is a good moveset but what I was wanting to know is if I should replace a pokemon with Metagross and I'm still in need of a 6th member because I'm totally clueless about it. Maybe instead of Hone Claws I'll use Agility.
Earlier today I was thinking of using Archeops for my 6th member but I found out it gives me even more weaknesses.

Well, for your 6th member i suggest Altaria and the team looks great!
forget metagross

I don't think I even thought about using Altaria. I checked out its moves and it learns some decent moves. I kinda already thought of a move I'll use; Heat Wave, to take out its major Ice weakness. It might be a good addition to the team. Thanks.
Most of the team I'll be breeding on my White, so I would have them early.

[trainer0191]

Ugh - so many good pokemon out there.. it's a pity you can only use 6 at a time lol.
Black 2 team:
Metagross (currently using him in SS - freaking awesome)
Hydreigon (always wanted to use him. got a lv 1 deino with dark pulse sitting in my Black PC)
Emboar (I have used all of the starters except for him and torterra so this is a good opportunity to use him) or Chandelure
Torterra (again, the only starter I have yet to use in a play through)
Aerodactyl (elemental fangs + fly?) - any other suggestions?
Kingdra/ Milotic???

Base Coverage: Steel, Psychic, Dark, Dragon, Fire, Fighting, Grass, Ground, Rock, Flying, Water

So any thoughts/ suggestions/ comments?
