Hey guys. I loved pokemon seasons and games upto Hoenn and then it turned into 734737437 new pokemons and I lost track and stopped watching since there are so many.
Recently I bought a DSI XL so I can play pokemon. It seems that nintendo are shoving new 8324828 amounts of new pokemon down our necks and we have to accept that I guess.
I want to play pokemon Black and hite but I got no clue about the pokemon.
Please guide me about what sort of pokemon are good etc
I am a pro at pokemon upto Hoenn. Know everything about them. Types, stats, attacks, evoloutions and everthing.
This new gen I dont know anything about
Guide me plesae D:
Dont just link me to the bulbapedia pokedex -.-
May I come up with some good Pokemon to use in Black & White?
For a Fire-type, great options are Darmanitan for a Physical attacker or Chandelure for a Special attacker. Darmanitan (which starts as Darumaka) hits really hard due to its Sheer Force ability (Hustle as Darumaka) and man, Fire Punch hits extremely hard. Darmanitan also gets the Sheer Force from moves like Fire Fang and Flare Blitz.
You can catch Litwick (Chandelure's lowest stage) at Celestial Tower, so sometime around the 6th Badge. Litwick has pitiful Speed so you might have to give it an Exp. Share until it evolves into Lampent at Level 41. If you have a Dusk Stone, you can evolve Lampent into Chandelure. Chandelure has extremely high Special Attack (it actually has the highest Special Attack of all non-Legendaries) and it gets good Special-based attacks like Flame Burst and Shadow Ball. I definitely recommend it cos I used one in my Black playthrough and it never disappointed me.
Frillish is a good choice for a Water-type if you don't start with Oshawott. You can catch them in Driftveil City/Route 17 & 18 once you have Surf (after you win your 6th Badge). It's really good once it evolves into Jellicent, it has good defensive stats and HP, and pretty good Special Attack as well.
Lilligant is a great option for a Grass-type (starts as Petilil). They might be White exclusive, although if you're playing Black you can talk to a Lass in Nacrene City to trade your Cottonee for a Petilil. This special one comes with perfect Special Attack IVs and a Modest nature, meaning it will hit hard. Evolve Petilil with a Sun Stone at 26 and no later so that Lilligant can learn Quiver Dance. With Quiver Dance, Lilligant will start to become a sweeper on the Special-based spectrum, Petal Dance is also a must if you get one with Own Tempo.
I also recommend Scraggy, cos it gets awesome attacks at low levels (like Brick Break and Hi Jump Kick) and it can take hits pretty well. It may take a long time to evolve (Level 39) but at least its learned moves make up for that. Once it becomes Scrafty, it can hit really hard. Even better if you get one with the Moxie ability, which raises Scrafty's Attack stat when it knocks out an opponent's Pokemon. It can learn some good TMs too, with loads of great Physical-based attacks. Plus it is weak to only Flying and Fighting-type attacks, which means it isn't too heavy on weaknesses.
Drilbur (which you can find in dust clouds in most caves) is awesome to use if you need a strong Ground-type. At Level 31, it evolves into the mighty Excadrill. Excadrill has a ton of Attack and learns great Physical-based attacks that will hit very hard not to mention it gets moves like Hone Claws and Swords Dance which boost its already-high Attack stat. Being part Steel, it has a good amount of resistances not to mention it learns Earthquake shortly after evolving (Level 36) which is great since the TM is not available until the post-game. I highly recommend Excadrill.
As mentioned above, Axew is a great option for a Dragon-type cos it hits extremely hard once it becomes Haxorus. It gets moves like Dragon Dance and Swords Dance which boost its potency, not to mention all the great attacks they get. Try and go for the ones with Mold Breaker cos Rivalry is plain useless.
Sigilyph, which you can find in the Desert Resort is a great option for a Psychic-type. Sigilyph has good stats in everything except Attack, but that won't matter since you'll want it to focus on Special-based attacks. It gets good moves like Psychic and Air Slash. It has some good support moves too including Cosmic Power, Reflect and Light Screen. It's also a good Flying-type to use as well. Definitely go for one with Magic Guard.
