Preperations for Black Tower; Leafeon or Haxorus?

In Black 2, I have access to the Black Tower but I’m currently training my 2nd Tepig I’ve obtained by breeding with a Ditto.

I also need a new Partner that needs to be a Dragon type or Grass type. For dragon, I need to get an Axew and train it up to Lv. 75. For grass, I need an Eevee then use the mossy rock in Pinwheel Forest at Lv. 45 then train it to Lv. 75. Which is Better?

Conclusion: Adder does not need to be EV trained and my future partner might need EV training.

There’s very little need for EV training when your team is at level 82+, since this is in game, even if Benga is tough. If you plan on using them later in competitive play, then EV training wouldn’t be a bad idea. I’ll add EVs for the movesets anyway.

I would suggest Haxorus; Emboar is a slow sweeper with good HP, while Haxorus is a fast & strong sweeper with good boosting moves.

Emboar @ LeftoversAbility: BlazeEVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Def- Flamethrower/ Fire Punch- Stone Edge/ Rock Slide- Brick Break- E-Quake (filler move)

While this set isn’t appealing, let me explain. Since this is Black Tower, you won’t be able to use healing items. Flare Blitz will only shorten the life span of your Emboar. Your two other options are Flamethrower or Fire Punch, since Fire Blast has too low a PP. Emboar has a decent Sp. Atk base of 100, so Flamethrower is a viable option.

Haxorus @ Draco Plate/ Dragon FangAbility: Mold BreakerEVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP- Dragon Dance- Dragon Claw- Low Kick- Aqua Tail/ E-Quake (filler move)

No Outrage for the same reason as Flare Blitz; Outrage will confuse you & your Haxorus is liable to hurt itself (really badly even without a DD boost), shortening its life span. Dragon Claw is good STAB, Low Kick is coverage against Ice types, and Aqua Tail/ E-Quake are coverage moves of your choice.

Additionally, you’ll be facing Benga @ the end (I assume, otherwise why go to Black Tower).

I would recommend a bulky water type as an addition to your team, like Samurott, Milotic, Azumarill, or Politoed, as they can also learn an Ice move as well. Weavile will also be of help, since it out speed both Dragons, has a very good attack stat plus STAB in super effective moves.

Weavile @ Expert BeltAbility: PressureEVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP- Ice Shard- Ice Punch- Pursuit/ Low Kick- Night Slash

Competitive set works just as well in-game; Weavile is frail, but it’s there to sweep fast.

Milotic (fem) @ LeftoversAbility: Marvel ScaleEVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 Sp. Def- Scald/ Surf- Ice Beam- Dragon Pulse/ Attract- Recover

I’d suggest Milotic over the others since it has very good bulk & a reliable recovery move.

Attract is actually not a totally worthless move in game, since you know what the main trainers' Pokemon’s genders are. All of Benga’s Pokemon are male, so if you want, you can use Attract. Dragon Pulse is there for coverage.

ok,so heres the thing… do you need a sweeper or a wall?If you really need the sweeper,I reccomend haxorus,a physycal sweeperHaxorus @Dragon gem/draco plateability-mold breakerOutrage-stab+boost from plate/gemDragon dance/swords dance-for boosting statsIron tail/superpower-to counter ice typesEarthquake-takes care of steel types that iron tail and outrage cant K.O.

Leafeon is a physical wall but has a pretty good attack stat even though I recomend haxorus more I’ll give you my suggested leafeon setLeafeon @occa/yache berryleaf blade-stabIron tail-to take care of ice typesDouble edge-Its a normal type move!Synthesis/wish-to restore health
