Pokemon that need evolution stones definitely shouldn't be placed into a lower tier automatically in HGSS. In GSC yeah I'd agree, G/S in particular because you don't even have the luxury of random phone calls. In HGSS though they're available at the Pokeathlon for 2500 points, and the way to...

I never made that argument, I'm pointing out a flaw in yours. IceBeam hit the nail on the head with the potions argument anyway. It's not even about potions, it's about the fact that Scrafty misses and dies whilst Darm needs a few heals but usually goes first and nukes everything. Darm rapes...

Darmanitan is not slower than Scrafty, and it has Sheer Force, not Hustle. Assuming you meant Darumaka, Darumaka is indeed slower but it evolves 4 levels earlier than Scraggy, meaning you should never be comparing Scrafty's speed to Darumaka's.

Triples must suit you better than me then, I find them incredibly tedious and I'm often unlucky with the placement of my/the AI's mons. Plus I think using a full team of 6 is a bit over the top. Rotation just seems more straightforward and I find them quicker/easier to win. Have you tried...

I've found that one of the absolute fastest ways to earn BP is PWT's Rental Rotation battles. You have to win 3 battles in a row, and you get 2 BP for doing so. That's twice as good as 1 BP for winning a Driftveil Tournament, and better than Subway's 3BP for 7 battles. Yes, Subway gives you 10BP...

None of his Pokemon have enough SpA to deter Excadrill, I'll grant you Carracosta is annoying with Sturdy but it normally Shell Smashes and still won't get the jump, that's 32 Speed for you. Wailord and Jellicent get 2HKO'd at worst with EQ. Excadrill's not the best thing to use against Marlon...

Also just finished the game, here's the analysis for the only mon I used that hasn't been done yet: Drilbur (AKA Magnemite of BW1): Top Availability: Relic Passage, shortly after the 2nd Gym Stats: The word "truck" does not do this thing justice, 4th highest Attack in the maingame at 135 with...

^Purrloin is horrible, the gyms hate it and you don't even get a bunch of Munna trainers to grind against early-game any more. I know it sounds harsh but seriously there are hundreds of better options Anyway, I just finished another run using a team of Volc/Mag/Lucario/Krok/Weezing/Starmie. Out...

Couldn't agree more about Iris' theme, at first I thought it would be like Alder's where it just gets more underwhelming with every listen, but it fits her really well and it's a great listen in general. BW2's soundtrack is amazing, I honestly think it rivals HGSS for the best soundtrack in...

Sorry if I misunderstand but how did you get EQ on Altaria? Isn't that a post-game TM considering you find it on Route 15 which (AFAIK) you don't have access to until you beat Iris? Also for Magnemite, never delete Metal Sound. Ever. It will win the unwinnable and defeat the undefeatable...

I think they already proved the pseudo-STAB thing was fake in the Black/White Kyurem thread over in OU.

Yeah, I'd like to know which starter people prefer too. I used Oshawott and found it pretty useful, it has a good movepool (especially considering how poor Snivy and Tepig's pools of useful moves are) and Razor Shell is really fun when you get it. He keeps his use later in the game too, since...

I also found that girl, and I also found a Power Band somewhere (I think it was Giant Chasm, it was definitely during the main story of the game). Will have a search for the others.

The first battle with your rival puts his starter at Lv. 4, rather than 5 in normal mode and 6 in Challenge Mode. Levels at the end of the game are supposedly 5 levels lower (i.e. Iris' strongest is Haxorus at Lv. 54). So basically the levelling emulates BW1. Don't know anything about AI in...

Hey guys, I've got some useless trivia about Challenge Mode! Sorry if no-one cares about this, I'm just finding Challenge Mode really interesting. I just tested the Elite Four in postgame Challenge Mode, they have teams of Pokemon at Lv. 77 with their signature at 79 (meaning the levels on...
