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
I’m facing off against N right now in his castle…
somehow I managed to give his Archeops the “Mummy” ability. *facepalm*
Serperior
Unfezant
Gurdurr
Carracosta
Krookodile
And… Chandelure
All of them in level 44
They rock! I love them!
Krookodile’s Moxie ability is great!
I was able to 1HKO Drayden’s Haxorus because of it!!!
Krookodile made this battle the easiest 8th gym battle ever!!
at least for me!
I only have 3 badges so far, and I’m training Dewott, Herdier, Victini, and Petilil. Petilil wasn’t even one of the many Pokemon I was planning to catch, but I tried it out and it was so useful I couldn’t get rid of it <3
I’ve been taking my good o’l time with the game.(unlike my brother who is a speed demon with his game)
My team so far is:
Archer the Axew lvl 36
Ezio(assassins creed <3) the Krokorok lvl 39
Victorique the Swoobat lvl 39
Lancelot the Samurott lvl 38
Dominic the Archeops lvl 42
and soon I'll be getting a female Mienfoo…Dunno what to name her.
And my goal is to catch all the new Pokemon I see, so far I have caught 60 Pokemon. ^^
Ok, so my team is:
Samurott (Adamant nature)
Krookodile (Adamant nature)
Darmanitan (Adamant nature)
Reuniclus (Modest nature)
Swanna (Not sure yet)
Eelektross (Adamant nature)
Could someone help me decide what nature to use for Swanna?
Swanna is probably what I would call a Mixed Sweeper, so…I guess boosting an attack stat would be nice? Or maybe it could be a speed demon? It’s your choice. 😛
Ya 🙂 That’s one of the things I like about Swanna. Because it’s Attack and Special Attack are pretty good, plus it has good Speed. That way, the movesets can vary, leaving opponents unsure of what’s coming 😀
Me too. It’s so elegant as well. 🙂
Unfortunately, its a bit frail, its defenses are a bit bad. X_o
Oh well, I know that…but I still love it anyway ;D
i beat the game a hour ago with
Braviary
Sawsbuck
Zebstrika
Zoroark
Seismitoad
and
Chandelure
The last Mienfoo egg I hatched turned out to be an Adamant one with Regenerator! Once she evolved into Mienshao, she and Archeops made the game total easymode.
Also, U-Turning between the two is so much fun. 🙂
Emboar
Haxorus
Zoroark
Excadrill
Golurk
Zebstrika
I’m one of those people who build up my team ultra slow XD and I just got it yesterday, so everyone’s on level 11/12:
Snivy
Lillipup
Purrloin
Panpour
Received the Liberty ticket via Mystery Gift, and just finished beating Chili this morning :3 (Bought Pkmn Black with the limited edition strategy guide. GORGEOUS ♥). I may purchase White tomorrow since I want Wargle so bad!
id recomend gigalith as long as you get it the right nature either serious/bashful/ adamant
Archeops is all i need. total bro.
Lonely nature [sucks for his defense though] + SUPAH ATTACK + Acrobatics = LOLWIN
i haven’t even had to deal with Defeatist yet.
he just dominates everything before he takes enough damage to lose attack power.
Excadrill isn’t bad either. for a while his attack wasn’t great, but it shot up when he evolved.
Zebstrika solo’d 3rd gym. how i love Motor Drive. but he’ll be swaped out for Eelektross when i get one.
anyone else find that the Japanese players love English Pokemon?
i sent up a Joltic [Lv.25, not trained] for a Zorua and the next day i got a Lv. 1 Bred Zorua from Japan.
which is good, since i can’t find my other DS for the actual event one yet 8C
My team is:
Blitzer (Blitzle) Lv. 24
SuperNanny (Swadloon) Lv. 25
Ganonpork (Pignite) Lv. 26
…I’m on route 4… the desert.
So I just want to point out how happy i am a lot of people are nicknaming their Pokémon! My Team is pretty basic to be honest, but I love it so I don’t care.
So here’s my team:
Pygar: a Scraggy (soon to be Scrafty) at level 37
Luey: a Pignite at level 33
Tuva: a Swanna at level 35
Bjork: a Scolipede at level 31
Roggenrola: a Gigalith at level 35 (yes I nicknamed it after it’s prevo. But it’s THE best name of any Pokémon)
I’m currently deciding on whether or not to replace Bjork with a Elgyem or a Litwick. I’m on my way, as I type, up the Celestial Tower. So yay! Soon Skyla!
Fire-Mono game here, the first time I’ve ever done a monotype run.
I have so far:
Emboar (Sunshi)
Darmanitan (Hihiko)
Lampent (Chandella)
Simisear (Almond)
and Pidove is my flyslave and I need a surfslave.
Currently in twist mountain.
my experiance with this game is awesome, so many things that are just great. i agree with one of the first posters, the toughest bit is picking what to use. i started with a party of tepig, lilpup, and purlion, and pansage. but quickly found out the suck factor of purlion (held out till it evolved, at which point it got dropped.)
my current team is:
Skaa (scrafty)
Bertha (emboar)
Brocolli (simisage)
Thor (Beheeyem)
Archbeshop (Archeops)
Kune (Samurott)
Really though this gen might be the best in my opinion. looking forward to beating it and replaying, and of course i cant wait to see what they do with the third game, specially after seeing what they did back in gen 4 with platinum.
Super level grinding whoo!
Getting my party to level 50 for the Elite Four~
Clive (Serperior ♂)
Bartok (Swoobat ♂)
Antoine (Scrafty ♂)
Agar (Reuniclus ♀)
Rachel (Elektross ♀)
Hugo (Samurott ♂)
I love them so much- Antoine and Agar especially have proven incredibly helpful!
Awesome update of awesome: I swear to God, putting Scrafty on my team is the best decision of the entire game for me. It kills almost EVERYTHING.
THIS. I had it in my party until after the Jet badge, and the thing obliterated. I’m doing a fire-mono run, but sometimes it would end up as the last pokemon in my team still conscious (I hate palpitoad.) and it did amazingly. I plan on having a permanant place for it whenever I play white and use just a normal team.
I don’t know why the thing’s such a tank and owns at the same time. Seriously, he pretty much beat the entire elite four, N, and Ghetsis for me!
….Random update from Jello: First ball I threw crit captured Zekrom! I named it ArcadeFire after my favorite band. And I really need the power switch for my DS lite to come in because I REALLY wanna transfer my Leafgreen team up!
My team is :
Serperior LV42
Musharna LV42 (probably going to switch to Gothitelle or Chadelure)
Darmanitan LV42
Simipour LV44
Zebstrika LV45
Tranquill LV31 (maybe going to switch for Mandibuzz or Braviary)
I’m currently in Opelucid City
After the 7th gym my team consists of
Serperior lv 38
Galvantula lv 38
Larvesta lv 38
Unfezant lv 39
Scraggy lv 37
Fraxure lv 38
Got Black the day of release and I’m taking it somewhat slow only allowing myself to fight a single gym a day and FRIGGING LOVE THIS GAME!
Current Team
-Ganon (Emboar) -Brave -Lv 36
-Gamageroge (Seismitoad) -Sassy -Lv 36
-Zoroark (no name) -Modest -Lv 34
-Drillago (Excadrill) -Impish -Lv 33
-Kih-Oskh (Cofagrigus) -Modest -Lv 34 (Personal favourite of Generation V)
-Sir. Robin (Karrablast) -Impish -Lv 31 (Bred with Megahorn)
Personally I do believe that Emboar is the greatest starter I have ever used and even exceeds my personal favourite Typhlosion.
I really wish though that Zoroark would learn some better special moves right now cause I’m forced to use physical stuff and its not working out too well.
I’m taking a “train half of what I catch” approach. After every gym battle I drop my team to four members and train two new pokes before I get to the next gym. Only two pokemon haven’t been dropped from when try were caught.
Current team:
Pumbaa (Pignite) Lv. 27
Nesta
