5th Gen Who was your MVP?

My starter, Samurott and Lucario. They rly helped me against the elite four. Both awesome. BUT without the Rayquaza I traded with my friend to help me beat the elite four i thinkit would give me a hard time../
 
My MVP was victini. It would take out almost anything im up against. Second to victini was pikachu my all time favorite.
 
So far it's Faraday, my Magneton. Doesn't die to anything and is generally useful.
 
scrafty was pretty fantastic - you got it early-ish, had a great movepool/coverage, bulky stats, and could reasonably take on the most elite 4.

sigiliph was also good, although it tapered off later in the game it really put in work early with its high special/stab moves.
 
Good 'ol Rocky, my Krookodile. Sandile is fairly earlier in-game, the Desert Resort, and it has a pretty nice movepool and it can easily defend against the types that is weak against. It has quite bulky stats, and easily takes out all of the E4 (including Iris).
 
Modest Lucario FTW. It's almost to 100 and I haven't even done any purposeful training for it besides in-game stuff. Wiped out the E4 and Champ with ExtremeSpeed, Aura Sphere, Calm Mind, and Dragon Pulse.
 
For White 2 it was defiently my reuniclus no one could whitstand a psychic from this thing and live he also had shadow ball for other psychic types and focus blast for dark types
 
In black 1, Darmanitan destroyed everything pretty much. Also my level 40 Boldore which i had in my party purely to fill a gap always seemed to get that last desperate hit in when the rest of my team had fainted because of its sturdy ability

Black 2, at the moment Growlithe and take down seems to be the way to go whenever i'm in a tight spot

In White 2 it was my Serperior. I regretted choosing him the entire game, but once I got to the end it was clear that he had been the most helpful throughout the entire game <3
 
My Genesect I got from the release event. I pretty much solo'd it with him. Oh, and my Garvantula was pretty good too. (It was N's Garvantula.)
 
In White2, probably Reuniclus. While Leavanny was arguably the dark horse of my whole team and made me happy by the fact that it was actually a useful pokemon (lv8 bug bite!) Reuniclus just mocks it at times. There was a trainer on victory road who had annoying things. Like Durant, Bouffoulant, Zweilous, Heracross annoying. Reuniclus enters the match at full hp and exits it having taken a net damage of 2HP without using items or switching once howisthathumanlypossible.


In Black2, a friend of mine left the following statement: "Hey guys I'm Magnezone, you can catch me at lv11 in virbank where I'll know sonicboom and get free xp at the poison gym since no one can hurt me there! I also resist 12/17 types and am immune to 1 of them so I can be a good switch-in to almost anything!!! Btw, 2 of those types are bug and electric, guess what gyms 3 and 4 are ; ) I'll be useless for gym 5 but I evolve straight afterwards and have a flying/dragon/water gymfest coming up so it's not like you'll miss me too much." He was the best pokemon in my team, and probably better than BW1 Excadrill
was since he invalidates 6 gyms and the entire of team plasma bar Colress completely.
 
I would have to say my Haxorus. He was capable of handling most of the battles he faced, and was usually the highest leveled member of the team.
 
Whenever I send my MVP out of battle,
I have this in my mind, "This is your moment, don't disappoint me!"

B2 Swampert, with Sceptile acting like second commander.
W2 Blaziken all alone.
 
Lapras. Took 2 hours to get (5% chance in the water hole things), but was so worth it for 7th gym and on.
BoltBeam FTW
 
In my first playthrough, probably my Electivire, because it outsped both her Hydreigon and Archeops, the latter of which I was very surprised with (I let my Chandelure be death fodder to Archeops so I could heal it). Bonus points because it had a speed tie against N's Reshiram, which allowed me to 3HKO it with Ice Punch and two Earthquakes.

Though my starter, my Samurott, was probably just as good. Despite my entire team being Level 60+, it was my only answer to Haxorus, because that thing could inflict super-effective damage on everyone else on my team and OHKO them after one Dragon Dance. Besides, I got to use my very first Pokémon to take on the Champion's best, which was also the very last one I KOed to beat the game. =)
 
My MVP has to be Arcanine. It's move set just demolished so many Pokemon in my run. Was my favorite non-legendary Pokemon in Gen 1, and still is in Gen 5. I can't wait to demolish the elite 4 in Gen 6 with my Arcanine again.
