5th Gen Suggest me some Pokés for BW's in-game

[Cerberus87]

Well, basically I need help with building a strong in-game team in Black. I don't know half the Pokémon and it seems some of my choices aren't so hot...

Right now I have: Pignite, Pansage and Tranquill.

For the record, I'm keeping Tranquill out of tradition (I always use the staple bird), but I may replace him with a Mandibuzz, even though she has crap attacking stats. I may drop Pansage because it's a stone evolution and it learns the last move too late (L43), and I don't think it's going to be useful for so long.

I was going to catch a Blitzle but I heard Zebstrika isn't very good. I tried to catch a Drilbur too but I ran out of Poké Balls and it's just too annoying to catch, so I think I'm going with Krookodile but I'm not sure.

So, what are good Pokémon for making a team for BW's story?

This isn't the place to ask for that kind of help, since this section is only for discussion unfortunately! :(

However, in-game team questions is definitely what you want, while the main in-game forum is for more detailed teams which includes movesets and so on! n_n I do just wanna add though that most people didn't use their monkey the whole way through, so you could consider replacing it by the time you reach Pinwheel Forest with Whimsicott or something, though really it's up to you. Either waaaay...
