Esca is pretty good since nothing much uses fire endgame :O

Sorry my mistake, I was thinking of how Magby is exclusive to Black 2 and Elekid in White 2, all three (including Growlithe) are found in the Virbank Complex so I confused myself. In that case I would choose Growlithe as I found him really useful. I held out to get Outrage and Flare Blitz before evolving which was a bit of a drag but not too bad, he beat Drayden with 1pp of Outrage.

And Accelgor > Escavalier imo as it has ultra speed so can quickly kill what you need it to. I've found Escavalier takes too many hits and needs to get healed more often is all.

But anyway it looks like you've already chosen your team and I've gotta say it does look fun. Hope you enjoy your playthrough!

EDIT: oh man looking back I did mess up who evolves into what. Whoops

It involves burning the foe with flames.

It activates Flash Fire.

The game lists it as a Fire move.

So how in blazes is it not a Fire move? Unless you're talking about damaging moves, which I wasn't. Though I could have worded it better.

Accelgor has this problem where it dies to a light breeze. If it doesn't kill something in one shot, it dies. Escavalier can just sit there and take hits from stuff like Haxorus and go "eh" about it (barring crits~)

Do any of you guys find it worth it to get both Black 2 and White 2?

I find myself wanting to play thru the game again with a different team however I dont want to start over my file

I'm thinking of using a rotating team in W2 because there are so many Pokemon I want to use but I don't really like restarting my game. lol.

Thinking of using the following Pokemon, let me know what you think. I might remove the last two mons to cut it down to 10.

Emboar
Ampharos
Watchog
Muk
Jellicent
Maractus
Beheeyem
Skarmory
Dewgong
Pinsir
Bisharp
Galvantula

I would recommend getting both. They're different enough that the gameplay isn't too dragging, while the Pokémon themselves are actually fairly different in each version, meaning you could have a unique team between each version. It's also helpful to get event Pokémon.

Interesting team, to say the least. I assume you watch the anime, I got my idea for a rotating team from Ash. :3 I personally would pick a stronger Ice-type than Dewgong. Your other weak Pokémon (Watchog and Maractus) are actually usable in-game, but I tried using Dewgong in my Black 2 run, and found that he'll take more hits than he needs to because he won't be able to score 0KHO's when he really needs to. I would recommend a Piloswine, which comes at about the same time and is a lot better, while also giving you a Ground-type Pokémon.

I don't know, personally I really like Dewgong but I've never used it on my main playthrough team so that's why I had it in. Also I realised I don't have any Hoenn or Sinnoh Pokemon on the team; might replace Bisharp, Galvy or Dewgong with a Hoenn or Sinnoh Pokemon maybe. Any suggestions?


EDIT; I'm thinking of using these guys actually:

Emboar
Liepard
Ampharos
Muk
Maractus
Flygon
Jellicent
Pinsir
Zangoose
Beheeyem
Bisharp
Dewgong
