Should I use Leafeon or serperior in White 2?

I really can’t decide. I lack a fire type and have 2 grass in my team. I need Leafeon’s dig and it’s a little mean putting away your starter. If it helps here is their movesets:

Tory (Leafeon)Item: rocky helmet (not sure why)Ability: leaf guard

Leaf bladeGiga drainDigShadow ball

Blade (serperior)Item: big rootAbility: overgrow

Leaf bladeGiga drainLeaf stormDragon Pulse

Help if you can! :)

If you need dig particularly badly, throw out Serperior and replace it with Leafeon. Doesn’t matter too much if it’s the starter, I’ve traded my starter out for a more useful Pokemon before too :P

Anyway in any case I’d still supportLeafeon. This is because Leafeon’s attacking stats (110/60) are still better than Serperior’s ones (75/75). Also Leafeon holds the superior physical bulk, and it’s special bulk and HP aren’t too much behind Serperior’s. Serperior does hold a much better speed, but Leafeon’s is also more than enough for ingame purposes.Since you’re running offensive sets on both, Leafeon woud generally outdamage Serperior, and Leafeon’s better moveset right now leaves it walled by less types. Serperior relies too much on 3 grass STAB attacks and Dragon Pulse as coverage, while Leafeon has a better coverage range with attacking moves of 3 different types.
