Right, I'm doing a second thread to do with the second version. I've got Black 2 and got the challenge key for it, now I want to save up for White 2 to actually use it. I've seen the gyms and E4, and they really don't look that difficult, it's only a few levels and
sometimes another pokemon. I've really seen no challenge in it at all. Hell, it'd be fun doing a nuzlocke on it but sadly not today.
I'm going to breed them on Black, trade them over to Black 2, then over to White 2. All moves would have to be egg moves or tm's as I'm not levelling them up. I faintly remember having a number of items as well, but not anything over the top like a life orb. Suggest something that doesn't run out but is also beneficial to me.
Mienshao @ fighting plate / black belt. /
Wide Lens
Nature: Jolly /
Adamant
Ability: Regenerator /
Reckless, but Regenerator is fine too
- U-Turn
- Brick Break
/Hi-Jump Kick
- Drain Punch
/Fake Out
- Rock Slide
Awesome coverage, near perfect accuracy on Hi-Jump Kick, then depending on Reckless or Regenerator, you can recover health as you U-Turn out or deal massive damage with HJK. (Even though you don't get recoil if you don't miss, it still counts as a recoil move and is thus boosted by Reckless). Fake Out + U-turn is awesome if you can't deal with a threat yourself, having two fighting moves is very redundant. Adamant over Jolly because Mienshao is considered very fast ingame.
Mienshao is a rather good one, I like it, why doesn't everyone? I'm using regenerator with U-Turn for free healing, Brick Break and Drain punch are good for healing and just a normal fighting move that does damage. Rock Slide is a coverage move and helps against a few gyms.
The only thing I can think of changing is Drain Punch for something else, but the tutor moves are useless except for Dual Chop really.
Serperior @ Miracle Seed
Nature: Adamant
just to do as much damage as possible.
Ability: Overgrow
That wasn't obvious.
- Coil
- Leaf Blade
- Aerial Ace
/Leech Seed. Helps you set up more with Coil, Aerial Ace is pretty weak and it would only really cover for other Grass types. If you don't like Leech Seed stick with this.
- Aqua Tail
Serperior is my chosen starter for this one, but I've never used it and I really don't like its look. The first two are good, but this looks stupid, oh well. Coil boosts my attack and defense, and Leaf Blade is STAB with Aerial Ace and Aqua Tail are coverage and help make it a little bit less well, stupid.
Aqua Tail is the best thing next to Dragon Tail, and Aqua is a move tutor move, is that before E4?
I agree that it looks stupid compared to the first two. It's actually a pretty decent poke if you don't focus on offense and coverage (both suck) but rather on support moves. I like it more with Giga Drain, Leech Seed, and some coverage like Dragon Pulse or Hidden Power if decent (or Toxic, or Protect, whatever), but physical with Coil is nice enough.
Salamence @ Dragon Fang
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Moxie
- Zen Headbutt
/Earthquake, Fire Blast
- Dragon Claw
- Dragon Dance
- Fly
I want to use a Salamence, and I thought that this would be a great set. Dragon Claw is powerful and STAB, Fly is a move I NEED really while having STAB. Apparently Zen Headbutt also is powerful, and I've never used it.
Zen Headbutt means you're walled by steel types. Go with EQ or Fire Blast, heck even Brick Break does the job. Psychic as coverage is never a good idea, not to mention Zen Headbutt is not very powerful or accurate.
Manetric @ Magnet
Nature: Modest
It's fast enough, needs power
Ability: Static
No need for lightning rod, rather get lucky with paralysis.
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower
- Thunder wave
Hidden Power Ice or Grass, if you're lucky to get one. Else, T-Wave is good enough
- Roar
/Volt Switch? T-Wave + Roar makes no sense especially ingame, paralyzing something and still being outspeed because of Roar's negative priority sucks.
I'm really at a loss for moves. I want to have a special attacker, but the physical version has all 3 fangs and can have something else on it as well, even T-Wave. I've got no clue what to say, I like this thing, I want to use it though.
Hell, can I trade this into White 2? I don't think this is in the dex.
Aggron @
What ever makes a steel-plated dinosaur better
Nature: Adamant
Ain't no rest for the wicked. And dinosaurs.
Ability: Rock Head
No recoil with head smash!
- Head Smash
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
/Heavy Slam. STAB, hits hard for obvious reasons.
- Super power
Redundant with Earthquake, lowers your stats. Go with Aqua Tail, or Fire Punch, or anything really.
Right, this is good. I want this thing to come in and decimate everything. Head Smash is power, and everything else is as well. I can't really see any trouble with this.
I'll have to use a Rampardos with head smash on Black 2 that can use the tutor for superpower.
Golurk @ ???
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Iron Fist
- Shadow Punch
- Fire Punch
Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch
/Drain Punch
Now, this is my last one and I want to use the tutor to the max usage. This one is in Driftveil City, so it's all good. I've got possible the largest coverage I could possibly have.
My alternatives give you wider coverage, a very much needed STAB Earthquake and some recovery.
Now, rate the team and pick it apart if you want. Don't recommend EVs or IVs because it's only an in-game team.
