Tentacruel Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 The only Pokemon I don't use because of stats are the ones that are just too weak to keep up. Like Luvdisc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Lately I have the tendency of egging Pokemon in any game, if I can breed in a compatible game, so HG has a Bagon. Don't know if I'm tempted with BW since I want to keep raising Pokemon I haven't had a chance to use yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm not talking about Pokemon in general, Agro - I was referring to the starters. Serperior has a really bad stat spread throughout, with not a single stat passing the 100 mark barring speed. And regarding your remark about playing with whatever Pokemon I want - I do play with whatever Pokemon I want; however, I am somewhat selective with my team, and stats and coverage are just some things I take into account when deciding which Pokemon to obtain. And I do have fun with the game - otherwise I wouldn't be playing it for the 4th time (albeit this is my first time playing in English).

[/quote] I've raised a Haxorus every play through I've done so far on Gen V (even my BW runs), so I know what you mean; and i had similar experiences with the 3 Growlithe I used in my play throughs of BW2 (since I never evolved them until after they learned Flare Blitz and Outrage) - so I'll agree with you here, especially since the level curve is decently difficult in the ga,e, so you'll get some good chances to raise it. As for Garchomp, he was easy to manage in DPP - It evolves at Level 48; so naturally, if you're raising a Gible steadily throughout the game, it should be there by the 7th/8th gym.

~British Soul~ Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I already have my plans for the Virbank Complex in both games. White 2: Elekid Growlithe Black 2: Magby Magnemite I checked Serebii for Espeon's moveset and I kept looking at the BW moveset rather than the BW2, and the BW2 learnset is better because it can learn the Psychic attacks earlier than ever before.

[/quote] FAR earlier, which makes Espeon usable in-game - seriously, learning Psychic at level 37 (or somewhere around there) is so helpful considering it wouldn't learn it until level 60-something in BW.

Flygon was one I caught on quickly though, because if I wanted to use it, I'd trade it over to BW to evolve and get Dragon Claw. For a grass-type, I think I'm going to use Lilligant (definately on the game I don't use Snivy). One of my friends wanted to get the therian formes of the cloud trio early on with the dream radar so that he can EV train them better than he did in BW.

And you can't teach it anything either... Roserade's coverage is a bit better, being able to learn moves such as Sludge Bomb and Shadow Ball in addition to Energy Ball. But, of course, it's your choice, so if you like Lilligant, by all means go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I plan to have Espeon use Shadow Ball, even though there's nothing wrong with having multiple users of the same move.
