Need to get somebody in there to know earthquake so I can go ahead and take out the final gym leader. Been EV training with the Macho Brace it gets switched around to whoever is first in the party
 
My W2 team

Hello :) this is my White 2 team:

Yes, I got no starter! Anyway, I'm going to challange the Driftveil gym and I badly need a water-type. Any suggestions? I think I have a nice type coverage, I'm going to put Eelektross instate of Flaaffy for the ground-type coverage with levitate.. What do you think about it?
 
Re: TAKE NOTE: All in-game teams go here.

I would personally stick with Flaffy, and never evolve it into an Ampharos, because sheep are awesome
In all honesty though, Ampharos will be fine throughout the game. I've never personally had an issue with it. Eelektross is debatably better, but the main thing is that you get Eelektross much later in the game. Really personal preference here.
For water types, I would recommend Lapras and Starmie. Starmie will hit hard with a very diverse movepool, but Lapras can act as a physical or special attacker, and has some nice support moves as well. It would really depend on your playstyle; if you want something that's going to hit hard and fast, choose Starmie. If you want something that's maybe a little more bulky and technical, choose Lapras.

I might box the Emboar for her, probably when she's at 50 and evolved.
 
Re: TAKE NOTE: All in-game teams go here.

Legendaries can be trained properly. As far as I know, as long as you get in all the EVs, it doesn't matter if it was level 99 or level 1 when you caught it.

Re: TAKE NOTE: All in-game teams go here.

My current team in White 2... I'm just about to go to Opelucid City for my seventh badge. I'm very happy with it so far. I'm more or less just using my favourites. Ferrothorn is amazing. Any suggestions are welcome, but the only Pokémon I'd consider changing would be Carracosta and Archeops. If I beat the League with these six, I'm going to get to work on training up a load of other Pokémon and put them into rotation for the Pokémon World Tournament.

Galvantula ♂ Lv. 44
Ability: Compoundeyes, Nature: Modest, Item: Magnet
Moveset: Signal Beam / Electroweb / Energy Ball / Thunder Wave
Planned: Bug Buzz / Thunder / Energy Ball / Thunder Wave

Ferrothorn ♂ Lv. 44
Ability: Iron Barbs, Nature: Brave, Item: Rocky Helmet
Moveset: Power Whip / Gyro Ball / Toxic / Leech Seed
Planned: No changes planned as yet.

Get yourself a Frillish!
 
Re: TAKE NOTE: All in-game teams go here.

Since I did a blind nuzlocke on Black 2 (and succeeded), I've been wanting to restart my game and go through with the planned final team below. Any suggestions?

Serperior
- Coil, Leaf Blade, Aerial Ace, Dragon Tail/Dragon Pulse/Outrage

Krookodile
- Crunch, Outrage, Stone Edge, Earthquake

Lucario/Sawk (w/ Sturdy)
- Calm Mind, Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball/Psychic (Lucario)
- Brick Break, Close Combat, Strength/Poison Jab, Stone Edge (Sawk)

Archeops
- Stone Edge, Acrobatics/Fly, Earthquake, Outrage/Dragon Claw

Volcarona/Arcanine
- Quiver Dance, Bug Buzz, Heat Wave/Fire Blast, ? (Volcarona)
- Flare Blitz, Outrage, Crunch, ExtremeSpeed (Arcanine)

Lapras/Walrein (w/ Thick Fat)
- Ice Beam, Surf/Hydro Pump, Perish Song, Bulldoze/Waterfall (Lapras)
- Ice Beam, Surf, Crunch, Bulldoze/Earthquake, Body Slam (Walrein)

I really don't know who to pick for the last slot. I love both Lapras and Walrein, they've saved my butt more times then I care to count, but I can only have one. The same goes for Volcarona and Arcanine.

I plan on adding Dratini to this lineup.
