This can apply to both games.

After you beat the champion (Alder in BW, Iris in B2W2), one of your Pokemon in your party will be awarded MVP status because of how strong they were towards the champion's Pokemon, as well as taking on most of the battles throughout your game. Who was your MVP? Why do you think said Pokemon became your MVP?

I've yet to find out who's my MVP for my White 2, but I know for sure my MVP for White is my L67 Mienshao. I was a little skeptical at first when I wanted a fighting type for my team, but I didn't regret having it since. My Mienshao had awesome stats and can literally take on any Pokemon...even higher leveled Pokemon when battling against the E4 when facing them for the 2nd time.

Mine turned out to be my Emboar! I've always loved it but for some reason this thing kicked extra butt everywhere it went. Flame Charge, the Flame Blitz and Wild Charge Combo while polishing off other teams with Superpower is an epic in-game combo.

Mine would have to be Seismitoad, it had stuggled throughout the game to keep up level wise but when the elete four came around he became my number 1. I can honestly say that if it were not for him, i would not have even come close to beating it on my first try

In Black, it was Scrafty. This Pokémon had Moxie, and had the Adamant nature as well—a great combination. Its moves were Crunch, Dragon Claw, Bulk Up, and Head Smash. Crunch permitted it to take down a variety of ghost- and psychic-types. With Dragon Claw, it was able to defeat plenty of dragon Pokémon. Bulk Up gave it some boost to its Attack and Defense stats whenever it needed it. Finally, thanks to Head Smash, it had the chance to get past flying-type Pokémon, which it was super-effective against. I wanted to teach it Drain Punch and Dragon Dance, but unfortunately, those were its eggs move. In order to have it learn them, I think you might've had to breed it. When it comes to breeding, I'm not experienced at all, so… And in Black 2, my MVP was Volcarona. My friend had given it to me after I was done with the fourth gym, and have been using it ever since. It was IV bred already, so all there was left to do is EV train. :b

This is a very difficult question to answer tbh. My White 2 team consisted of Pokemon I considered my best powerhouses, so it's rather hard for me to choose between them. I'd have to go with my Hydreigon after much consideration though as with Dragon Pulse, Earth Power, Flamethrower and Hyper Voice plus its Modest nature, it easily sweeps through lots of teams with little to no effort. Darmanitan comes a close second though, but since you're asking for my MVP, this is it. c:

In my White 2 game it was Mienshao. I relied a lot on it, it was over leveled (by almost 28 levels), it took down almost the entire E4 and Iris by itself.

I will have to look at my other games to see who they where. I knew on W2 since I was playing it when I saw this topic.

My Samurott was easily the MVP of my party back on White, and I wouldn't be surprised if it took out at least half of the Elite Four's Pokemon on its own. As for White 2, my MVP was... the very same Samurott. I knew that the Elite Four was a little more challenging in the sequel games, so I decided to ship over my Samurott around the time I hit the 7th gym. I was expecting it to play a supporter role in my party, but yet again, it took out a majority of the Elite Four's Pokemon out all by itself.

Definitely my Galvantula. His speed and sp. attack just anihilated every foe weak to its types. Then I'd have my Golurk clean up the leftovers...

My White 2 MVP was my Cinccino. I caught the Skill Link one in the Hidden Grotto, and he was an absolute beast. His moveset was Bullet Seed, Tail Slap, Rock Blast, and Sing, and he could take out most things in one or two turns.

My Black 2 MVP was my Garbodor. She was actually my worst Pokemon at first, but then I taught her Toxic and Venoshock, and she began to wreck stuff with just those two moves. She also knew Body Slam and Sludge Bomb, but she mostly just used those to finish what Toxic and Venoshock started.

White 2 was my (well Ns!) Zoroark. I swore down when I was given it that It would be the pokemon to A, defeat N when I faced him and B, destroy the elite four for me. And it did. Poor neglected Zoroa grew to be a badass ;)
in black 2 it was my hydreigon hands down. I LOVE Hydreigon so much and it literally was such a beast for me.

My MVP has been Excadrilll. I eventually discovered that Excadrill was promoted to Ubers in the competitive battling scene due to its high Attack and Sand Rush. It sort of disappointed on the Elite Four thanks to it's Fighting-type weakness, but no doubt a great choice for the Battle Subway, especially if you combine it with Tyranitar.
Boilurn, the Scald Pokemon and the evolved form of Hottle. It can burn the holder by the lightest of touches when it boils. It can boil 3 gallons of water in one minute.

For me it was my starter Samurott. When Iris Haxorous came in I thought she is going to rape my team. Than, my Samurott not only landed the Blizzard but he also froze her. It was epic.

My most valuable pokemon was probably Beast, my charizard. I had transferred him from Heart Gold. He is the first pokemon that I've fully EV trained and now I'm waiting to transfer him to Y to mega evolve into Charizard X.

My most prized possession in Black 2 is my Latios.
It had three IVs with the value 31. The IVs with the said value are:

Special Attack,
Hit Points
and Speed.

I was very lucky that time, I overjoyed that it even has a timid nature.

My Mienshao. It wrecked pretty much everything and was a staple of my team.. it was used more than most other teammates I brought with me. Serperior comes very close too, though! Swords Dance and Leaf Blade yaaay.

In B/W, my Serperior was my MVP; I would never have beaten the game without Coiling 6x and leaf blading everything.
In B2/W2, I tried Dragon Dancing with Haxorus, but my teams were a bit less dependent.
