If I had to do a solo run with one poke I'd wanna use a Gengar. Hypnosis, Shadow Ball, Dream Eater and Focus Blast/Thunderbolt is all you need.
 
Dream Eater is a terrible move, just run Hypnosis / Shadow Ball / Focus Blast / Thunderbolt.

Or in this meta, Sub > Hypnosis.
 
I agree I'd stick to psychic and thunderbolt over hypnosis and dream eater, though.
The only solo run I've done in my life used only 99.6% accuracy moves (gotta love mareep).
 
I'm pretty sure I missed Surf in Emerald, randomly, against a wild pokemon without any accuracy modifiers/held items/anything.

Hypnosis and Dream Eater are great in game. Free healing while you attack. It's how I was able to solo beat the rematch with Lance with a much weaker Gengar. It works. In a solo run I'd almost consider it necessary.

For BW soloruns though, I guess Scrafty could work really well. Fighting and Dark are great STABs and it's really durable. Does especially well against 3/4 of the E4 as well.
 
I'd want my favorite Pokemon, Hahakomori to do a solo, except that it dies to anything called Ember, Peck and Rock Throw. >_>

On a side note, my lovely White file got deleted, including my Quiet Kyurem. FML. I did a new file and doing Oshawott now. Modest FTW.
 
Playing through Black now and I want to use a Chillarmy. Where do you get Heart Scales and when and where is the Move Relearner? If it's really quite far in I might have to rethink
 
Heart Scales are in 5th gym town, there's some dude in the house across from the Pokemon Center that asks for a Pokemon knowing a certain move every day. (e.g. you have an excadrill with Earthquake, show excadrill to dude when she(yes its a she) asks for something with EQ) She gives you 1 Heart Scale for it.

Move relearner in 6th gym town. If you got a Cute Charm Minccino then skip out on Bullet Seed/Rock Blast.

You can get one Heart Scale per day(i don't remember how) in Hodomoe City (5th gym)

The move Deleter/Relearner is in Fukiyose City(6th Gym)
 
A Shiny stone can be found on route 6, which is just before Fukiyose.
Chillarmy learns Tail Slap at level 25, and they are caught at level 20-27 (East and west of Ramion City). With that move,(and if you have Technician) it should be able to do well until Fukiyose. If you manage to train it to level 31 before the 5th gym, it might even do well with a 60(90 with Technician) base power Wake Up Slap (Waruvile+Doryuuzu).

Too bad you can't get Skill Link in-game.
 
One quick question--why is Cubchoo so low on the tier list? Beartic is pretty powerful, TBH...not to mention it learns Ice Breath (even if it isn't the best user of it--that would be the ice creams). Is it just because of pure-ice-typing on an offensively-statted Pokemon, or what? *Is confused*

I'm sorry if someone has asked this before .-.
 
Unless they recreate the Mystery Gift from the Japanese version, you can't get it until after the 6th badge at the earliest, plus type issues and no physical STAB unless you breed it.

Beartic gets Icicle Drop at level 37 (the level it evolves from Cubchoo).
 
Ah, I see now. But the snowflake is the same way--it can't be obtained until the ridge, if I remember correctly. Not to mention only a 1% encounter chance in summer...and yet it's a higher tier. .-.

Personally, I think we should take encounter rarity into account more...if we're even taking it into account at all. *Can't tell* o0
 
My current team is:
Pignite
Simisage
Scrafty
Archen
Minicinno
Joltik
And I need something to replace Simisage, but I'm not sure what. At the Tower of Heavens at the moment.
Anythoughts?

Kurumayu->Hahakomori (use lots of normal 20 HP potions on it to get it to quickly evolve)
Doredia/Erufuun (get the traded one so it will level quickly; give it the lucky egg)
