  • I plan on starting my White version over again but I'm tired of using the same Pokemon over and over again so this time I actually planned out four teams that are based around one of the three starters and one team without a starter. I'm not sure which one I should use or if I should make some changes to them for the best. I'm open to any suggestions of swapping out Pokemon or changing of movesets. Here goes:

    Team with Snivy as starter:
    Spoiler:


    Team with Oshawott as starter:
    Spoiler:


    Team with Tepig as starter:
    Spoiler:


    Team with no starter:
    Spoiler:


    I'd like to know which one of these teams are worth using and if I need to make any changes to them to have a successful playthrough.

  • I would suggest using the one with Tepig as the starter, but I would make the following changes:
    Emboar: Replace Wild Charge with Hammer Arm, which it can learn through the move relearner.
    Simisage: Replace with Leavanny knowing: Swords Dance, Leaf Blade, X-Scissor, and Shadow Claw.
    Seismitoad: Replace Sludge Wave with Rock Slide.
    Sigilyph: Replace Psyshock with Psychic. Also, when no longer a constant need, you may want to replace Fly with Air Slash, and just use a Fly slave when necessary.
    Zoroark: Replace with one of your Dragon-types, Haxorus or Hydreigon, the movesets you have are fine.
    Eelektross: If you're replacing a Dragon-type in, you may want to replace Dragon Claw with Flash Cannon or Brick Break.

    That's what I would do based on my personal preferences. Take the advice how you choose, because it's possible to make almost any Pokemon good. I just like to vary my types as much as possible.

  • Samurott # Surf/Ice Beam/Megahorn/Grass Knot or Waterfall/Megahorn/Aqua Jet/Swords Dance
    Chandelure @Choice Scarf/Choice Specs # Shadow Ball/Overheat/Energy Ball/Psychic
    Haxorus # Dragon Dance/Outrage/Earthquake/Brick Break
    Mienshao ~ Regenerator # Hi Jump Kick/Stone Edge/U-Turn/Fake Out
    Bisharp # Swords Dance/Night Slash/Iron Head/Thunder Wave
    Braviary ~ Sheer Force # Return/Superpower/U-Turn/Fly --> I actually lied about this lol; Return is better. I really hate nerfing a Pokemon just because you need Fly in-game :(

    Emboar: Replace Wild Charge with Hammer Arm, which it can learn through the move relearner.

    Replace Scald, not Wild Charge. Scald sucks on Emboar.
    Zoroark is a good Pokemon, but it's hard to find in-game.
    Ehhhh forget Dragon Claw / Flash Cannon. Brick Break is okay, but I'd just go Volt Switch / U-Turn.
