My mom will be shipping me Pokemon White today (THANK YOU), but I know a lot of people have been playing.
So today’s comments section is dedicated to them :] I wanna hear about some strategies, who’s on your team. Tell us if you’re having some difficulties. All of it.
<3 pokejungle
Got shiny serperior, emboar, duosion, siesmitoad, fraxure, and gigalith on my team. Four badges. Almost five badges just have to get through the cold storage. Its hard to play with all of these tests my proffesors are giving out right before spring break
Just beat the Elite 4 and about to finish up the story. Current team is:
Samurott (Wottsworth)
Haxorus (Fang)
Golurk (MobileDoll) – Needed a flyer, who better than a flying robit
Lilligant (Lyla) – Never used this Pokemon before, but loved it a lot.
Galvantula (Nikola)
Reuniclus (Splicer) – The reason I got white 😛
Didn’t have any trouble with the game, but I also didn’t use that team the whole way through the game. Actually, if there was any kind of trouble to be said I had with the game it would be in choosing my team to go into the final battle with. I had been swapping a lot before what and had some great ‘mons in reserve.
I have no strategy, just using pokemon I like. My team right now is Litwick, Simipour, Serperior, Crustle, and Scrafty. And I’m waiting to catch a Rufflet.
Having difficulty training Litwick cause it sucks D: Hopefully that’ll change when it evolves.
mine sucked too but once it i got it fully evolved its great
Ugh I know ;_; I hope it learns some better moves, I’m not too much of a fan of too many ghost moves.
I had the BEST moment yesterday. Petilil & Liligant are my two fave Gen 5 Pokemon. (Naturally, I’m playing White.) So, I finally got to Pinwheel forest, and the first Petilil I came up against was female. I nudged my sister and said “Now, the best thing would be if she had Own Tempo and was Modest!” …2 minutes later…. “AAAAAHHHH”
She was. XD So now I very happily have a Modest female Own Tempo Petilil on my team. I fully expect her to wreak havoc a bit down the road. 🙂 I’m going Sleep Powder/Butterfly Dance/Synthesis/Petal Dance, I think.
Ummmmm…..All Petilil are female.,……
*facepalm* Okay, so that’s what I get for not doing research. But still, right nature AND right ability have to count for something. XD
My team consists of:
Eve (Leavanny ♀)
Poker (Scolipede ♂)
Joe (Crustle ♂)
Wattson (Galventula ♂)
Corona (Larvesta ♂)
Termitator (Durant ♂)
I’m currently training my newly caught Durant to be level 50 like the others, then, I take on the Pokémon League!

I’m not using any specific strategies, and I never have before! Im only using pokemon I like!
I just finished my 5th gym. (Focusing more on training my pokemon)
Samurott
Simisear
Unfeazant
Sewaddle
Gigalith
Herdier
That’s all of mine!
My team……….I haven’t even played yet, but do know that my whole team will by shiny. Currently at around 1000 resets for Tepig, and my other team members will be Lillipup, Pidove, Sandile, Venipede and Tympole
good luck with that
Tepig’s the hard part. I don’t have many soft-resetted shinies. So far I’m at 1050 resets for him, once he shines, its smooth sailing
Current Team:
[Kryten] Golurk (Lv. 65)
[Infernus] Darmanitan (Lv. 64)
[Pteryx] Archeops (Lv. 62)
[Vanilla] Vanilluxe (Lv. 62)
[Paul] Beheeyem (Lv. 62)
[Mugen] Samurott (Lv. 61)
I’m also training my hatched Larvesta (nickname Luciole, currently level 40 after around two hours of game time spent training) because she has a good nature and a 28 Special Attack IV. <3 I'm obviously way into post-game by this point, and have been for a good couple of days now. xD; I'm yet to face the second wave of the Elite Four, but I have faced off against the person you find in Undella Town (spoilers for who it actually is, look it up if you really want to know), with all my team around level 60, and managed to get them down to their last Pokémon, despite the fifteen-off level difference. I've caught all the legendaries that I can get, bar Tornadus, but he'll be my next target after riding on the Royal Unova.
*fifteen-odd
Standing in front of the E4, just finished evolving Pawniard, Deino, Larvesta and Rufflet.

Whats left is main legends, version exclusives and trade evolutions, oh and the other fossil.

Will be goin to the E4 with Vanilluxe, Klinklang, Stunfisk and Beheeyem :3
haxoros, swanna, emboar, Turtle thing, klinklank, sawsbuck, reunclus ( its at the day care)

I’ve been playing hella slow so I’m only on the 7th Gym leader. :p
As for troubles, when you’re this god-like, there’s no such thing.
Hella slow??? When I just beat the THIRD gym??? XD
Well I usually beat the main story within 24 hours max, but I’m just only at DragonSpiral Tower and on almost 40 hours. ><
But playing around with all the IR stuff and the Entralink with my friends might have something to do about it. :p
Ugh, man, I’m a Slugma compared to you. >.< Takes me about 2 weeks real time on average.
Servine lv. 24
Panpour lv. 24
Tranquil lv. 25
I’m heading out of Castelia City and onto Route 4. I caught Victini with a Pokeball in like three minutes with my staff member NeonBlue on the phone. I successfully used the Relocater Program and now I have the three Shiny Beasts and Celebi; but have no intention on using them to get ahead. I used Celebi to get Zorua; and now I have him but I won’t be training him up until I catch Zoroark. The last three I need for my team are Klink, Axew and Jellicent; at which point I will switch out Panpour (might be Simipour by then if I choose to). So yeah, you wanted all of it; so I gave it too you ^^

Anyone else who picked Snivy seriously regretting it?
It’s moveset is terrible, only ever learning normal or grass type moves, it doesn’t even learn any good TM moves!
I don’t know whether to start again, and pick another starter, or just expell it from my team :/
once he gets leaf blade and coil he works out pretty nicely
but you’re right his movepool its very type-limited find some egg moves you might feel better about that selection i remember there were some cool ones
haha,..one of the reasons why I have not chosen him..
Love the Tepig Line 😛
Serperior has the looks but not the moves.. and stats…
He’s okay. Not really regretting it though. He’s good for using Cut, I guess? xD
Snivy’s the best… V_V
I never like giving nicknames but thats probably because they rarely gave them in the anime ha
here goes
-Vanillite (madd cute animation)
-Tirtouga (sooo adorable)
-Servine (tail looks like pot)
-Boldore (i dont have any friends who i can trade to evolve yet FML)
-Victini (how could i say no to that face/ i hate all the other fire types this gen aside from the bug one but thats a wayZ away)
-Yamask (I’ve had my eye on Cofagrigus since the mpment i saw him….he will have hyper beam)
i have noticed that theres a lot of really defensive yet slow flavored pokemon this generation which makes me wonder if trick room might make it into one of my movesets…..probably yes
I have gotten to the elite 4 the hardest badge to earn for me was against the ground type gym leader my team is Emboar 50 , Zebstrika 42, Gigalith 47, Simisage 45 , Stoutland 40, and Rufflet 41 and they havent let me down yet love my team now its time to take on the pokemon league
My ingame team which I used for beating the E4 was:
Samurott 70
Simisear 22
Boldore 26
Woobat 13
Patrat 15
Zekrom (at the level you catch him)
However my bred&EV’d team will be
Tyranitar
Garchomp
Scizor
Excadrill
Starmie
Salamence
Blissey
Gliscor
Reuniclus
Whimsicott
Forretress
Hydreigon
Metagross
Scrafty
I choose my real team depending on my mood so these are just for having some variaty. Note that all Gen I-IV are ready, and for the Gen V I’m busy preparing to breed
I’m adventuring in the mountains after having beaten Clay. My team currently goes like this:
Mateus the Dewott
Quezacotl the Servine
Kujata the Pignite
Mog the Swoobat
Ixion the Zebstrika
The last member of my team is gonna be a Golett named Alexander, but I’m really not wanting to wait until the Dragon Spiral Tower to get one…
Anyway, as far as having issues or having non-issues, my team is doing a great job. I started with Oshawott and didn’t get the other two starters until just before the 4th gym, so raising them wasn’t an issue. All of my members have fairly beastly attacks, but I had one real difficultly.
Zebstrika is awesome, but Blitzle was soooo freaking fragile! A Quick Attack nearly killed him alone on multiple occasions. Now that he’s evolved, it isn’t so bad (and I actually used Ixion to take out Elesa). Anyone else have that issue, though?
Uhmmm… You can’t seriously have the 3 starter pokemon on your team… LOL… Unless it’s a cheat… :))
I don’t consider trading and the GTS as cheating. 😉
I had some trouble with Elesa. That volt switch really hurts. I’m surprised you used a Zebstrika to take her down.
use krokorok or palpitoad and dwebble with smack down
it worked perfect for me
Yeah, that is easy if the only Pokémon you have is a over-leveled Samurott. She wasn’t that difficult, though. Just needed to restart two times.
My Zebstrika was at lv. 30. Shock Wave took out each Emolga in two hits, and then he managed Elesa’s Zebstrika with Flame Charges and Pursuits. It worked surprisingly well. 😉
I don’t have a particular strategy for in game, just to pay close attention to type advantages.
Samurott lv 46
Conkeldurr lv 44
Scolipede lv 46
Reuniclus lv 44
Darmanitan lv 47
Cofagrigus lv 45
I’m in N’s castle at the moment, just after beating the elite four. Personally I found Shauntal the most difficult to beat, her Jellicent was a major pain because I didn’t have supereffective moves to use against it. (except my Cofagrigus but she was slower than Jellicent so it was still rough). I foudn Grimsley to be the easiest to beat.
