5th Gen Who was your MVP?

I still don't know what an MVP is, ;A; but mine would have had to have beeeeeeennnnnnnnnnn.......
My Emboar the first play-through. Half the game I only had him anyway because i couldn't make up my mind. ;A;
Modest Jellicent the second time around, dat Giga Drain and Shadow Ball killing most everything, and then my most recent would have had to have been my Conkeldurr, just overwhelming everything with Attack.

Most Valuable Player, or in this case Most Valuable Pokemon.

Also shoutout to my Umbreon. He walled like a boss.
 
Surprisingly Galvantula made it to be my MVP. Amazing type coverage. 4+ advantages with stab, and give it a 3rd attack that isn't bug or electric and it works perfectly.

Yep, I love my Galvantula. Fast STAB attacks take out most stuff in 1 hit, which is good, because it doesn't take hits well.

Nature: Rash (+SAtk, - Def)
Ability: Compoundeyes (+30% Accuracy)
Item: Magnet (+20% Elec Damage)

- Thunder (91% Accuracy)
- Charge Beam (Boosting Move)
- Bug Buzz
- Energy Ball/Giga Drain
 
Leavanny.

At first I was put off with the x4 Weakness to Fire and other weaknesses but once it had evolved, it was amazing! A brilliant movepool including Leaf Blade, X-Scissor, Swords Dance gives it so much potential, I definitely recommend it.

I had one , is in my box! But I switched it for my level 60 Zorua. ( I'm not going to evolve it soon.)

Oh , and it was mostly Lucario and Pelipper.

In my first playthrough of White 2, Hydreigon was my MVP. Such a beast with massive Special Attack.
 
My MVP was aggron easily. He's a beast and dominated. Second in MVP voting was Electabuzz
 
Samurott for sure. Even though through every game the starter I pick always is the Pokemon that supports the entire team, Samurott has proved so far the most effective, even above Empoleon and his typing. It easily wiped the the Elite 4 including Iris, because of the fact that by the Pokemon League he (or should I say "she") had already reached level 76 :) . All of my other pokes were simply there to stall by taking a hit so I could revive my Samurott if ever came to that scenario.
 
For me it was definitely my Muk. I had it use minimize and acid armor a couple times and whatever attack did manage to hit it hardly did anything at all and I took out the entire elite 4 and champion with just Muk. It was amazing.
 
Umbreon! I dont even know how to describe it, it always did well from the start. Seriously, that defence and attack stat on my Umbreon made it very very defensive when it could handle super effective moves and crited like a boss with just neutral damage.
 
I was pretty good at balancing my team out enough for them all to be pretty weak when I reached the E4, which meant I'd have to rely on their typings and such while constantly reviving and healing them. I definitely had Pokemon who were the weak links on the team, mainly my Unfezant and Leavanny, since both were horribly underleveled and weak. However, if I had to choose an MVP, I'd say my Krookodile. She rarely ever failed me, and her moveset were pretty great for just about any Pokemon. She was pretty fast, so she was quick to take out the slow and weak with. For the stronger ones, mainly the big Dragon types that Iris and Drayden had, which I did not have any Ice type moves for, her Foul Play was exceptional, and she was definitely a huge help, but my Emboar and Magnezone were right there behind her. So the win was a team effort, not really exclusive to anyone.
 
My mvp was my beloved Zoroark, who is now level 100. The only Pokemon she had trouble with were fighting types, and some of those she could still beat.
 
Much like in my first playthrough of White version, Haxorus was my MVP. He is seriously built to take down the Elite 4 for the most part. After a Dragon Dance or two, he becomes a wrecking machine. Especially against the Dark and Psychic members if you've taught Haxorus X-Scissor.
 
Lucario. He was kind of the leader of my team, after I dropped Samurott in favor of Starmie, in my first White 2 playthrough. And, he did miracles through E4 and Champion.
 
Arcanine was a boss in Black 2. Never let me down. Honorable mention to Roserade, who took down even Pokémon with resistance to Grass because Petal Dance is OP in 5th gen (Lilligant who?).

I didn't have a guy that stood out in Black, but Haxorus deserves mention for being able to sweep Ghetsis all by himself.
 
In my first White 2 playthrough, Raiden, my male Lucario was definitely my MVP. He did pretty much EVERYTHING, and let me tell you, he rocked everything all the way to Heck and back. He was also my first level 100 in a Pokemon game, and Lucario isn't even one of my favorite Pokemon. Weird. o_e
 
For my White 2 Playthrough, Serperior. Adamant Nature and I got a moveset of (1) Outrage; (2) Leaf Blade; (3) Aqua Tail; and (4) Swords Dance. It took some time for me to train up my Snivy but It was all worth it. He destroys everything. Honorable mention goes to my Arcanine (the best non- starter, non- legendary fire type) and Krookodial (Moxie rules).
 
For my MVP, Excadrill. What a real wrecking ball he was, especially when he has earthquake and a swords dance in his arsenal. I did struggle against Marshal however, and for that, I chose Weezing as my second MVP. Its great defense, Poison typing (which resists Fighting) and access to Will-o-Wisp (Which is unusual for a Poison type) helped me stop several of his fighters.
 
Excadrill was my main attacker, but it is a bit on the frail side. Swanson the Conkledurr is pretty much my fallback on anything and that thing can take a hit like a champ, while dishing hurt of its own.
