Official Pokemon Black and White thread. (loads of new info with lots of spoilers)

[Force_Flex]

Was it this guy?

 

He's dark

 

 

HM slaves are great as a meat shield. I used mine fly slave as that a few times when I had him on my team.

 

And good luck with the second run.

No, it was the move I was using. Synchronoise is awful...

[Toffee.]

Getting Jolly out of other natures for starter will be pain in @$$...

Its a simple procedure of:

Hit new game -> cutscenes for 2 minutes -> talking -> go through the opening battle scene -> check if your starter is Jolly -> repeat

[.Nu-13]

That's that pain. Each restart will take ~5 minutes

[Flame Dragon]

That's that pain. Each restart will take ~5 minutes

IMO you shouldn't focus THAT hard on in game natures. So long as you get a good nature any +ATK non -SPE or +SPE non -ATK works.

[Cin]

That's the price of being selective. I'm trying to figure out what nature I want my starter to be when I restart. (Tepig as starter) as well as the rest of the team, Volcarona (might import egg if I can get White working in another console), Victini, Chandelure and maybe Houndoom because I can even tho its move set is pants. (Or even another older gen Fire Pokemon if people have any ideas although if work Hidden Power right I could get a decent Dark from Houndoom). I could try Dream World and get a Ninetales with Drought, and use Solarbeam to take out those pesky Ground or Water types. (Yea end of March oops)

 

Anyone been able to get it to work in a console over than a DSi or is my DS just knackered?

[Deathcore]

Since I'm getting Black sometime this week, I finally planned out my in-game team. I still haven't decided on moves/natures/items/etc. yet, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Samurott

Stoutland

Krookodile

Ferrothorn

Conkeldurr

Volcarona

 

Thoughts? I might change it around depending on what people think. The only ones I'm not taking out is Samurott and Krookodile.

[Toffee.]

Clockwork(Klink) and Litwick(Litwick) are just insta-deathing the ice gym.

Hurray for lazyness! =D

[Zektor]

I beat the game in 5 days, it was too easy, and I used only Bianca's team to make it harder.

[.Nu-13]

IMO you shouldn't focus THAT hard on in game natures. So long as you get a good nature any +ATK non -SPE or +SPE non -ATK works.

 

Lonely, Adamant, Naughty, Hasty, Joly, Naive... yeah, this will be easy

[Cin]

Right I've planned some natures, tell me if they'll be ok in game, I dunno I want to practice working natures into things.

Victini - Nature Any. (Equal Stat distribution), Emboar (Adamant), Chandelure (Modest), Volcarona (Rash, so it doesn't -Atk for Larvesta)

[.Nu-13]

Excadrill should be physical, right? (probably stupid question)

[Cin]

Yea, its best stat is Atk along with the majority of its moves. Silly you.

[.Nu-13]

Yeah, silly me :P

 

So it would be

 

Anything that +Attack and doesn't -Speed@???

Sand Rush

~Sandstorm

~Earthquake

~???

~???

 

So I need 2 more moves and an Item... help?

[CNo.101 S.H. Death Knight]

Yeah, silly me :P

Sand Rush

If sand rush is the sand strength before it was convert to English then it was said to have earthquake, rock slide, sword dance and either brick break or shadow claw but that up to you though. And for nature try gettin adamant, it's the best nature without a harm to his status and movepool correlation

[.Nu-13]

Sund Rush is the one that doubles the speed in sandstorm

[Dark]

Flame, what two Pokemon are different on my team? Vanilluxe and Hydreigon?

 

But it just goes to show; great minds think two-thirds alike. =P

 

Can't believe I forgot to post this.

Epic. Purely epic.

 

Also, patience is a virtue. I spent a long time and didn't find a Drilbur with a good nature, but I was determined to not give up. I found a dust cloud, ran into it, and I found a level twelve male Drilbur. I caught it, checked its nature. Adamant. I screamed with joy, only to notice that its characteristic was "Likes to thrash about".

 

Good things come to people that wait. ;D

[CNo.101 S.H. Death Knight]

Sund Rush is the one that doubles the speed in sandstorm

 

Oh ok so if for speed maybe some an attack that deal a difference for speed gap but then again the obnly o e I know is for electric. I think a rest might be important consider he would take damage on the turn he use sandstorm, and also a berry to wake him up. I think rock slide or brick break would be good.

[Sweetie Belle]

Getting White at some point, already have Black...

 

I don't have a designated team, though, just these two, along with a third that I randomly picked out of the Lv 100s I transferred in case both of them die.

 

Chandelure

Lv. 84

Modest

Shadow Ball

Psychic

Flamethrower

Energy Ball

 

Volcarona

Lv. 75

Rash

Quiver Dance

Fly

Bug Buzz

Heat Wave

[Flame Dragon]

Yeah, silly me :P

Sand Rush

~Sandstorm

~Earthquake

Sandstorm isn't needed on him. While you can't get it main game get a pokemon that can set it up for good like TyTar or Hippo.

 

As for set, EQ, SD, Rock Slide, X-Scissors.

 

Flame, what two Pokemon are different on my team? Vanilluxe and Hydreigon?

Yea. Hell, it's even closer since it was only a small change it terms of what dragon we liked.

 

That they do :D

[TheTurtleOnceCalledGod]

I couldn't beat dennis with my lvl 43 team (I beat the E4 with them) so I decided to grind at route 10. I <3 the lucky egg item.

Current Team after training:

Galvantula lvl 50, Chandelure lvl 46, Rufflet (for fly) lvl 42, Samurott lv 52, Meinshao lvl 52, and Excadrill lvl 55.

Also, I came up with a planned OU team (see sig), but sadly after doing a Smogon search, I discovered someone else had this set up :(

*rages irl*

Why can't I even come up with something original for once, only to discover someone else did it about a week earlier.

[TTR~]

I love the game. Got White Sunday, beat it, and now working on my dream team.

EDIT: I forgot about Lilligant. Have to check stats later.

[Dark]

Dribur is so frail. Seriously, a crit Razor Leaf is legitimately a OHKO.

 

My team now consists of a Level 23 Drilbur, a Level 21 Dewott, a Level 12 Pansear (used for Cut), and a Level 15 Simipour (used for the water HMs).

 

I swear, Skyarrow Bridge is just to show off the graphics in the game. But hey, it got be hooked. The music is also epic there, too.

 

Castelia city is big as hell. All I did was go to the Name Rater to change DAIKENKI to Daikenki (since this is the first game where the Pokemon aren't ALL CAPS), and I got a taste of how big the city is. Three or four alleys, tons of huge buildings, et cetera. There probably aren't too many important things, but I'mma explore before I take on the Gym.

 

Two badges, roughly 2:30 hours into the game. I'm taking this kind of slow.

[Kuri]

I had my first experience with random battle today. It was really fun but right when I was in the middle of a battle I had to leave and lost connection... Also lolz'd when I got matched up with a guy with Level 31 Servine and level 20-16 other pokemon he quit of course.

 

Anyways what is a good nature for a:

 

Drillbur

Dunsparce

 

Also is there a Move Tutor/HM for substitute in this game?

Drillbur should be Adamant or Jolly.

 

On the 4th Gym in Black and at Chargestone Cave in White. Trying to catch a Modest/Timid Joltik is taking ages.
