    • I have a question about my team, I decided to put it here because I feel like putting it in the In-game team help section would be a waste of a thread. So here's my team.

    Pignite
    Ducklett
    Lilligant
    Duosion
    Krokorok

    I don't know what I should have as my sixth team member, I'm trying to decide between a Haxorus, Vanillite, Joltik or pulling my Blitzle out of the PC. I'm in the 5th Gym btw.

    Dont restart your game. See if one or more of your pokemons knows dark/ghost/fire/water/dragon/ice/flying/fight/electric type moves. I dont say that u must learn all your pokemon moves with these types but it is going to help you during elite4 and champion battles.

    You should pay attention to the other teams pokemon and what moves they have, cause some of the pokemons in elite4 may dafeat your pokemon that you're going to use. So it could defeat your pokemon if the move is super effective.

    What is the best nature for a Abra and Gastly?
    Click to expand...

    Timid for both, they need a load of speed, they're to frail to take hits so defensive natures aren't good. You could go for Modest, but Timid is better.

    Unova Pokemon don't have foreign Pokedex entries because when Black / White came out in Japan, no other language had names for the Pokemon yet.

    I go eletric type with the flying gym coming up.
    Depends if you get trick room on you Duosion, if not Blitzle would be a nice choice Joltik has its advantages. I took blitzle in black joltik in white and I've gotta say I liked having a Galvantula better than Zebstrika. So if you want a speedy attacker Blitzle. If you want a power hitter Joltik.

    You don't want to grind but want to start over? Starting over would take much longer than just grinding. And it isn't your team so much as your levels. You need to be around the 50s to take on the E4. I don't mean lvs 45. I mean 49-52 Minimum. There aren't many items that aren't part of the main story that would help you anyway unless you want to give Fraxure Eviolite.

    Just go grind to 50+

    I didn't plan on using Trick Room, but come to think of it, I didn't really plan out much of a moveset for my Pokemon. Mainly because I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted on my team. Honestly though, I'm kinda preffering Joltik to Blitzle, mainly because I've never used a Joltik before.

    • I picked Black because it's my favorite color, and I love Reshiram more than Zekrom. It also has Gothita, whom I love. I got my friend who has White to trade me over a Braviary though, because I love them as well.

    The biggest difference between the two is Black City and White Forest. Would you rather find exclusive Pokemon in White Forest, or battle trainers in Black City?

    What move is better, Spikes or Stealth Rocks?
    I think they do the same thing right?
    Click to expand...

    The idea is basically the same, but there are a few differences. Spikes don't hit Flying types, Levitating Pokemon, or Pokemon using Magnet Rise. It will always hit a certain percentage of HP no matter what type effectiveness it is. It can also be stacked up to 3 times.

    Stealth Rock hits every type of Pokemon, as it's rocks floating in the air. It also hits a certain percentage of HP, but it changes depending on its weakness or resistance to rock (anywhere from 3% to 50% damage). It can't be stacked at all.

    Personally, I like Stealth Rock better.

    Yeah, stealth rocks sounds like a way better move. :D Is there a TM for either of them?
    Click to expand...

    Stealth Rock was a TM in Gen 4, but not Gen 5. Spikes was never one. :x I guess you gotta work for the great moves.
