I started with Tepig because I almost always choose the Fire starter, but I ditched it as soon as I found a Growlithe. Arcanine is both cooler and better than Emboar, imo.
I had to stop using my Excadrill in B2. Its typing is good enough to get a Swords Dance off against most Pokemon, and a boosted Excadrill is going to take down anything that doesn't resist it.
Getting ready to challenge the E4 for the first time on my White, current team is:
Excadrill - lvl 46
Fraxure - lvl 45
Eelektross - lvl 45
Serperior - lvl 44
Archeops - lvl 45
Zoroark - lvl 45
