FR/LG came out before Emerald, iirc, whereas Platinum came out before HG/SS.

RNGing Cobalion's getting annoying. Doesn't help that my delay means a ten minute wait each time I try...
First attempt, delay is 5 over.
Second, delay is 4 over.
Third, run into a swirling sand patch that appears under my feet as I try to frame advance.
Fourth, Elgyem's Psybeam crits and kills it.
Fifth, delay is 6 under.

-Get a pokemon
-Get it to learn Swords Dance (preferably Axew or something like that)
-Get it to learn false swipe

If you want it for "serious" usage, you really want perfect speed.
Just gonna brag about my Volcarona.
Urugamosu - #637 (Bold)
HP: 30
Att: 23 - 24
Def: 30
SpA: 28
SpD: 18
Speed: 15
Not bad for no RNG or hacking eh? Only took about three hours of resets. Sure, those 30s aren't 31s, but i'm more than happy with this one.

You are correct.
Now I have Eight badges on Black, here's my team (Like anyone cares...)
Cofagrigus: Lv40 Grass Knot/Haze/Will-O-Wisp/Hex
Serperior: Lv40 Tackle/Leaf Blade/Leech Seed/Coil
Carracosta: Lv41 Aqua Jet/Smack Down/Crunch/Curse
Galvantula: Lv41 Slash/Thunder/Signal Beam/Gastro Acid
Scrafty: Lv41 Sand Attack/Crunch/Chip Away/Hi-Jump Kick
Vanilluxe: Lv47 Uproar/Ice Beam/Taunt/Flash Cannon
Yes, yes, Vanilluxe is overleveled, but it defeated every Pokemon in the Opelucid Gym, explaining that. Decided to put Thunder over Electro-Ball on Galvantula, despite its crappy ability (Unnerve), & I went for Curse over Shell Smash on Carracosta, preferring durability over outright offence & fragility. I do have a good feeling about the last part, on Route 18 at the moment defeating the trainers there. Any flaws that should be addressed?
Also, about the final Cheren encounter in Victory Road post-E4, is it a one-off encounter or is it a once a day encounter? And this is the best Pokemon game I've played since GSC imo.

Cynthia in Spring
Morimoto (any season?)
I believe Cheren is daily
Bianca is every Saturday
The villa in Undella Resort is daily and another trainer is added each day and each trainer gets more Pokemon.
Opelucid's Trainer House with the Triple/Rotation battles are daily
Uh, I think Black City's are fightable forever
White Forest's two Triple trainers should be daily
I didn't mention that since he already listed them.
For additional reference, all the ones I listed are in the low-to-mid 60s, except for Morimoto who's in the 70s.
Hey guys, I'm in the middle of my White playthrough, and I need a but of advice.
Currently my team is: Dewott, Joltik, Scraggy, Archen, Victini and Scolipede and I've just reached chargestone cave. I want to scrap Scolipede but don't know what to change to. I'm willing to go back to catch anything i've passed, or I'd there something coming up soon I should look out for?
Thanks.

try charge beam on galvantula...
it is really good...
and also i think you can get thunderbolt by now it is in p2 laboratory just surf west on route 1 and you should find it after a bit...
Not a good idea, really. The only reason people use Thunder on Galvantula is because of Compoundeyes. Without it, Thunder is really to risky to use. As said, use Charge beam or Thunderbolt, it's a lot more solid than Thunder will ever be.
Beat the game for the first time with this team:
Sjoert the male Sawsbuck lv 52 - Sap Sipper
Return - Horn leech - Jump Kick - Leech seed
Chiffo the male Unfezant lv 51 - Super Luck
Return - Fly - Work up - Roost
Godzilla the male Haxorus lv 53 - Mold Breaker
Dragon claw - X-scissor - Strenght - Dragon dance
Sheldor, the male Escavalier lv 52 - Shell Armor
Iron head - Megahorn - Screech - Iron defense
Stormkin the female Beheeyem lv 51 - Telepathy
Psychic - Charge beam - Shadow ball - Recover
Rawk the Sawk lv 49 - Sturdy
Brick break - Dig - Retaliate - Bulk up
Return - Horn leech - Jump Kick - Leech seed
Return - Fly - Work up - Roost
Dragon claw - X-scissor - Strenght - Dragon dance
Iron head - Megahorn - Screech - Iron defense
Psychic - Charge beam - Shadow ball - Recover
Brick break - Dig - Retaliate - Bulk up
Just beat the Elite 4 for the 2nd time in 26:25 with this team:
Haxorus - lv 69
Shadow Claw - Dragon Dance - Dragon Claw - Earthquake
Conkledurr - lv 68
Bulk Up - Brick Break - Payback - Rock Slide

Hi folks. I'm coming towards the sixth gym leader. I'd like a bit of team advice, because the team is only ok. They're all about level 30.
The 4 I'm happy with are pignite, krokorok, Scolipede and tirtuoga. I am reasonably happy with vanillite. The other one rotates alot. Can you suggest something to go I'm the final spot, I'm pretty willing to swap vanillite if there's a good pair to put in. I also don't really want to double up types. I'm playing white for reference.

I took 30 hours and 20 minutes to take out the E4 Round 2, with my team:
Mothula the Volcarona - LV73
Quiver Dance/Psychic/Bug Buzz/Flamethrower
Eleados the Galvantula - LV69
Charge Beam/Thunderbolt/Bug Buzz/Energy Ball
Pringlette the Jellicent - LV68
Surf/Shadow Ball/Toxic/Recover
Misamisa the Gothitelle - LV69
Psychic/Thunder Wave/Thunderbolt/Shadow Ball
Carioca the Archeops - LV69
Acrobatics/Fly/Rock Slide/Earthquake
Lilil the Liligant - LV68
Quiver Dance/Sleep Powder/Giga Drain/Magical Leaf
Quiver Dance > E4.

Like suggested, I would just get an axew after you've beat the 6th leader.
If you like vanillite, i'd say just keep it. If not, a grass or electric type could be nice. I'm thinking Sawsbuck (which is awesome with horn leech, leech seend and big root), Liligant, Emolga or if you feel up to it, Eelektross.
Hey everyone could use some team advice.
Playing through Pokemon Black (my second run through) and planning on:
Serperior
Gigalith
Victini
Swanna
Haxorus
and?
A physical attacker, maybe Mincinno or Durant. Any suggestions?

Mienshao
Golurk
Beartic
Sawsbuck(if you don't mind the grass overlap)
Pick your poison
Scrafty
Excadrill
Krookodile
You can get them all early and Sandile knows Assurance and Scraggy knows Faint attack and after a bit learns Brick break...also scrafty rapes the first round of the e4(all but the fighting type user)...
If you are looking for something different i gusess Mienshao and Durant are good late game additions...
