Re: The Pokemon Thread

Lol maybe it's my hate of grass types that doesn't allow sewadle a chance. Also may I ask how so? Is it because of his move set or stats being relatively high? Also guess I'm not getting rid of him to soon then.

It's quick to evolve from Swadloon to Leavanny (happiness based.) Leavanny has a buttload of ATK/SPD with decent defensive stats. Bug Bite is fairly strong (coupled with the STAB), Razor Leaf at level 15 or 16 and once you hit 35 or 36 you get Leaf Blade (which is a badass attack.) You can couple those moves with Swords Dance and such if that's your thing.

Only thing that sucks is the weaknesses, but that's the trade-off for Bug/Grass types. Thing becomes a beast though.

Yeah bug/grass does suck but it sounds like its pretty awesome. Might do solar beam or grass pillar instead of sword dance though.

Out of the list above who would you replace for Psyduck? I love Goldduck so I want him. Lol.

That's all subjective and just based on where you are in the game for who you want to replace. I love Psyduck from the cartoons, but he and Golduck are so worthless to me in the game that I don't put them in my party. I think my normal party in B/W is something like...

Osha Evolution Line
Escavalier
Leavanny
Espeon
Timbur line
Crobat

then I switch some out depending on where I am/what type of enemy I'll face.

Oh see I thought psyducks/golducks psychic type moves would be usuful but I guess not.

They can be if you want them to be. They aren't super powerful, but covering that movetype is important.

I like Espeon for my psychic type, because in B/W2 you can catch them before you get the bug badge (at level 18 or 19 or so for the Eevee) and just bike around for 10-15 minutes until the happiness is high enough. Level them once and boom you get an Umbreon (if leveled at night) or Espeon (if leveled during the day.)

Espeons speed is so high, and it gets Psybeam at 21 or 22. Can't take too much of a hit, but it's a good one to nab.

Oic, btw is Glaceon and Leaflon any good. I heard Glaceon is but I don't know if the other one is. Also getting Jolteon since its a very strong electric type.

Re: The Pokemon Thread

Glaceon is pretty good, but you can't get it until after you beat B/W2 since you can't get to the ice cave.

Re: The Pokemon Thread

I would keep Mareep, because it'll eventually evolve into Ampharos and Ampharos with Thunder Punch STAB destroys ****.

Oh course this could be my nostalgia glasses talking, but that was his role in Silver for me. Anything my Typhlosion couldn't handle I brought in Ampahros who would prepare to wreck **** up.

Same thing I do with my Pikachu, volt tackle, thunder bolt, Iron Tail, thunder punch. Moves varied but probably electro ball since it varies by speed and he is fast. Never evolved him though, hated Raichu however it sucks since he is so powerful.

Re: The Pokemon Thread

Anyone help me trade my Magmar so he turns into a Magmortar when I get that far?

I could probably do it (if I can get the wi-fi on my DS to work up here at school)


Personally just found my Black 2 and DS while cleaning my dorm last week. So I decided to start over and use the last starter I haven't used with this Gen. At Nimbasa City here's the team I've assembled:

Lvl 28 Crobat
Lvl 28 Leavanny
Lvl 33 Espeon
Lvl 28 Magnemite
Lvl 17 Sandile
Lvl 28 Dewott

I'm using a bunch of pokemon that I haven't used in the past and I've gotta say I really like this team. Crobat is the only pokemon of the bunch I've used (and I use one in every game) and I especially love Leavanny. I forgot who it was who was asking about them, but rave reviews from me on it.

Yeah my Magby just evolved so I can't wait until I get the Magmarizer (spell).

Also Sandile is a beast. Get one with Moxie and he becomes a great Sweeper. With Earthquake being a STAB move for him it's awesome. I also choose Crunch, thunder or Fire Fang and Rock Slide/Stone Edge.

My Team:

Dewott
Magmar
Lucario
Krokorok
Espion
Herdier

I spent like 20 minutes trying to get one with Moxie...kept getting Intimidate instead lol. And I'd assume Herdier is an HM slave? Or are you actually using it? I generally don't like the dog pokemon at the beginning of the game (Poochyena and Mightyena excluded)

No I actually use Herdier. Once it's Stoutland it can use Fire, Thunder and Ice Fang. Very useful. Plus it's defense becomes very good.

I know I want Tynamo and have no clue who to get rid off though.
