The Official B&W/5th gen Discussion Thread - GAMES OUT EVERYWHERE

[Neerb]

Wow, Zebstrika made the 6th and 7th gyms REALLY REALLY REALLY easy. Hopefully the 8th gym will be more difficult (I assume it will, given that the only Dragon counter on my team is an Archeops with Dragon Tail).

At any rate, I'm now at Dragon Spiral Tower and have a fully evolved team in its late 30s:

Samurott
Zebstrika
Lilligant
Victini
Zoroark
Archeops

I originally was going to use Gigalith instead of Archeops, but then I realized I'd need a flyer. It's worked out, though; Archeops is a freaking monster of a pokemon, especially with a 110 stab move (Acrobatics without item). Granted, he loses health fast, and once he gets half-way down his ability renders his attacks useless, but he's fast enough to make it work against these NPCs.

Funny, I sigilyphs all the time.

On Black? I've seen a significantly HIGH amount Maractus and Dwebble, and a grand total of TWO Sigilyphs. Even though they're all 10%.

I need a flyer. But my team is torn between 8 Pokemon so I currently rotate. What I'll do for the E4? Hell if I know.

My dragon stuff has been covered, once I concluded that my Solosis's Hidden Power is a rather high-powered Dragon type. Awesome little blob.

Awesome. I got to Victini. I paralyzed it. When I started chucking Balls at it, I realized, "Wow, I REALLY came unprepared for this, I can't even buy Ultra Balls yet, and I only have 2" And I also had 5 Great Balls and 7 Pokéballs. I used them all and failed. Then I decided "well, I'll chuck this 1 Premier Ball and then restart" and the Premier Ball CAUGHT IT.
It's cool to catch legendaries in Pokéballs, but is it cooler to catch them in Premier Balls? If not I STILL THINK I'M COOL, and that's all that matters.

I'm waiting until I beat the game to grab Victini. I kind of want to use it competitively, so I'll be trying for nature and stuff. I have all of march though. NO PROBLEM

Um, easy solution. Catch it, don't train it yet.
Or
Get Liberty Pass, don't go to Island (yet)
or the first option.

Uh, first option definitely won't work.

I'm aiming for NATURE. That means, either transfer over a Synchronizer or spend hours SRing for the right nature. Don't feel like going through that now. I could get the Liberty Pass now, but again, I have more than enough time to do that. I'll finish the game before the event ends.

You get screwed over if you evolve the elemental monkeys very early because they STOP learning skills through leveling after evolving, no matter where they are.

Caught Reshiram on my first Ultra Ball.... wow. And caught Volcan...whatever *The bug/Fire thing* on my third Ultra ball. How curious...

Most things that evolve from Stones don't learn level-up moves. The downside to being able to evolve as early as level 1.

Wrong thread.

I hope Soothe Bell and Luxury Ball is in this.
I really need to evolve my Woobat fast.

Sweet.
Also, I don't think you really need to use Spoiler tags here since this entire thread is already filled with open spoilers.

Yeah, luckily I won't be using them (except as filler Pokémon so Pokémon I catch will auto-go to PC), so I evolved one.

[FruitFlow]

Doesn't that normally apply to all Stone evolving pokemon?
