    Hey, so I'm doing this Black play through with Tepig as my starter. I've just beaten the 5th gym leader, Clay, and I'm having issues with determining what team I should use. These are the 4 teams I'm stuck deciding on:

    Team 1 (Current one): Emboar, Gothitelle, Seismitoad, Simisage, Archeops, Stoutland
    Team 2: Emboar, Galvantula, Excadrill, Seismitoad, Archeops, Sawsbuck
    Team 3: Emboar, Beartic, Stoutland, Gothitelle, Simisage, Archeops
    Team 4: Emboar, Beartic, Sawsbuck, Galvantula, Seismitoad, Archeops

    I know it comes down to the individual when deciding their teams, but there are so many fun Pokemon to utilize in Black/White, and I'm at the point where I'm stuck with the Pokemon team. Any suggestions for what team I should do?
     
    Sorry you didn't receive too many responses!! Howeverrrr,

    This depends entirely on you, but let's lay it out. You'll need:

    - Skyla is fairly weak so I wouldn't worry about her much. Any of the teams should be fine (but probably 1, 2, 3).
    - Something to take on ice-types (Emboar is perfect, so 1, 2, 3 or 4 is fine.)
    - Something to take on dragon-types (Or at least withstand them - so that leaves you with 2, 3, 4)
    - Something to take on fighting, psychic, dark and ghost types (Emboar can fix up dark, Archeops and Gothitelle are needed to take on fighting - so I'd go with number #3. Psychic just needs strong Pokemon and Stoutland can do that with CB, although I'd maybe swap Simisage out Ghost just needs something fast so Archeops is fairly fine.)

    ....soooooooo...

    To cover you for all the upcoming gyms and the E4 I'd go with team Number 3 BUT with the addition of Chandelure > Simisage. Everything else will be useful against something, and Chandelure will really help you breeze through the ghost and psychic opponents. That and Alder is pretty weak to fire-types so it doesn't hurt adding more. It'll also help you with Brycen too.
