What Pokémon can very much help me in B2?

Question

Such as picking up a Riolu at the start of the game, are there any other Pokémon that can critically make game play easier?

Comments

The combination of Cinccino and Tornadus should be stronger and share less weaknesses than Unfezant and Tornadus.

---

Lmfao my team still can’t beat clay.

---

Maybe you should have used a Heracross...

---

Are there any ways I could get a type advantage over clay? Like a Tm any of my Pokémon can learn. Also, how to get TM shadow ball, Dark pulse and ———.

---

Give Cinccino an exp. share and teach it dig. That should help.

Answer 1

(Edited with more research done - thank you for the suggestions/corrections!)

The stationary Braivary (White 2) and/or Mandibuzz (Black 2) are a fantastic option for powerful Pokemon available quite early in the game (Route 4). Lillipup is incredibly useful as a HM slave, and a few others with great potential attainable very early on, with the exception of Riolu, are:

• Eevee
• Zorua (Zoroark is a great choice to help you swiftly complete the game)
• Cinccino (Dig, a move able to be taught to this, can be very useful)
• Growlithe (if you are looking for something else, Darumaka outclasses this and is also attainable very early)
• Jolteon (Eevee) / Elekid (Electabuzz)
• Joltik (I would recommend the electric options above over this, however)

If you are looking for other suggestions for early Pokèmon without any very significant use:
- Tympole
- Scraggy
- Magnemite

Hope this helps!

Trapinch's and Vibrava's stats are very weak until it evolves at level 45. Growlithe is outclassed by Darumaka, which learns fire punch and flare blitz much more easily than Growlithe does.

---

Trapinch and Vibrava can only be found after beating Skyla. Also I used Dig on my Lucario.  I guess this works well... if you wanted to suggest Pokémon to beat Skyla I would have suggested Zebstrikas as they can be found in the grass right next to the town and can learn Volt switch. Overall this answer doesn’t seem that great.

---

The tympole line isn't bad. Sandile line, Scraggy line, and sigilyph are solid choices too. Galvantula is probably the best non-legendary electric type with compound eyes. Thunder and bug buzz are great moves.

---

I think the best electric Pokemon is either Electabuzz or Jolteon. Both are obtainable earlier, and their stats are very similar. Pinsir and Heracross are better bug Pokemon than Galvantula. Also, I don't think Mandibuzz is good for playing the game even though it's powerful. Its relatively weak physical attack means it slows down battles, so other Pokemon like Sigilyph or Zoroark let the player finish the game faster even if they might not be as reliable.

---

I do apologize for suggesting a Pokèmon that is only available later on, my knowledge of White 2/Black 2 is definitely not as sharp as it was back when. Zoroark (thus Zorua) and Sigilyph may absolutely outclass Mandibuzz, I’d only suggested the stationary bird for something to get easily that could last a while! While I chose not to include it, the Tympole line can have potential. I’d love to edit my answer with some more useful information for you!

---

galvantula is the best imo because its a fast strong special attacker with powerful and accurate Bug and electric STAB.  you get the bug type and electric type in one pokemon.

---

Bug type has one of the worst offensive coverage... :P

---

Bug is good against grimsley and catlin

---

In addition to being obtainable earlier, Jolteon has better stats, and Electabuzz has stuff like psychic and ice punch. Also 2 of Grimsley's Pokemon, including his strongest one, aren't weak to bug.

---

Jolteon has a terrible movepool and thunderbolt is found at victory road. Galvantula can use thunder instead of thunderbolt because of compound eyes. elekid is also a version exclusive.

---

Good enough answer. I think I’ll use thundorus as my electric type.

---

Who suggested thundorous?

---

Nobody, because it’s not usually a valid option. I just chose it because I had one, otherwise I would have gone with Galvantula.

---

Oh ok. Good to know you made a decision.

Answer 2

Once you can get it, cobalion. Great false swiper and overall fighter. And I suggest maybe azzumail for hm slaves. And mareep. False swipe is in reversal mountin. Theres a scientist that will give it to you once you see or catch all the Pokemon (not including heatran) in reversal mountin. Once you have them all, talk to the scientist and you got it.

Comments

This would get best answer... if I knew where to get False swipe.

---

See all the pokemon in and around reversal mountin. Then talk to the scientist inside. You dont have to catch them, just enter a battle against them and your good.

---

There you go, read the updated answer

---

Good enough.

Happy time i got best answer. (Shinjix enter the ultra beasts remix starts playing) happy time.
