What is a good Pokemon to sweep the Champions from Black, Black2 and Y?

6 minute read

Something that can take out the Elite Four and Champions without;1. Needing a healing item2. Being switched out or using moves that force switching of your Pokemon3. KO’ing any Pokemon in more than one hit (unless they have sturdy)4. Needing a Leppa Berry, PP Up or Ether5. Switching moves via TM or HM between battles

Please provide a full moveset and name as well as which moves target which Trainer.

Shauntal: Since she uses only Ghost Pokemon, any Dark type can easily exploit and defeat her. Make sure that it mainly uses special moves, as her Cofagrigus can tank a physical hit quite easily. and Jellicent’s Cursed Body can disable physical moves.Hydreigon, while being difficult to get, is a very good option as it learns Dark Pulse.

Grimsley: The first thing you’ll realise looking at his team is a huge Fighting weakness, which you can exploit with next to no problems.Sawkand, if you can access it,Conkeldurrare amazing Pokemon that can completely wipe him out. If you have a Samurott with Megahorn or a strong Bug type (Escavaier, Accelgor, Scolipede etc.) that is also a good choice against half his team.

Caitlin: If you still retain that Dark type you used against Shauntal, the same can be used here. A note though: her Reuniclus knows Focus Blast so you might want to use a a different Pokemon against it.Hydreigonis a solid option again if Reuniclus can be dealt with, and for Reuniclus a Bug or Ghost type (or a Pokemon with those moves) should do the trick. Escavalier is also a great Pokemon to use here.

Marshall: His team has variety in coverage, but putting Grass Knot on physical Pokemon is just pushing ones luck. Most of his Fighting type Pokemon know a Fighting, Normal and Rock move, so that rules out Flying Pokemon. Sawk also has Sturdy. Golurk resists it all, but is very weak to Grass Knot, being one of the heavier mons. Another option is, if you can get it from someone else,Gliscor.Escavalierwith Aerial Ace is also a choice, but outside of Marshall it doesn’t really do much good.

Champion Alder: His team is varied, and can’t be countered entirely by just one poke. But a Rock type dents half his team, so a Pokemon with Rock type moves is a good idea. Things like Rock Slide / Stone Edge on aSawkcan significantly help. Sawk counters 60% of his team with Stone Edge and Close Combat, leaving out only Escavalier and Druddigon. A strong fire type move can easily dispose of Escavalier, while Ice can do away with Druddigon. You can be the risky man and give your Hydreigon Fire Blast and Dragon Pulse if you want, and if it outspeeds the two then it can easily scoop them up.

Now let’s see the Pokemon you’ve required:

It’s possible to beat the Elite with less really, but I added three to be sure.

Shauntal: In the remakes, it is possible for you to obtainZoroarkand access move tutors for Dark Pulse. If you’re willing to wait it out though, at level 64 it learns Night Daze, which can single-handedly raze Shauntal’s whole team.

Grimsley: All previous choices can still be used effectively, but the fun part about the remakes is the availability of Pokemon from other regions. This means you can accessLucario, which is very good against Grimsley as well. The Krookodile can look like an issue, but if you knock it out fast with a Close Combat/Megahorn it won’t bother as much.

Caitlin: As always,Zoroarkis your pal. Use it and you shouldn’t face many issues other than Reuniclus (if it lives the hit). In Challenge mode though, she uses a Metagross, which means that it would be wise to teach Zoroark Flamethrower.

Marshall: In the remakes, you can catch Gligar, which evolves intoGliscor(albeit it is a little pricey to evolve). Unlike the shaky counters in the earlier game, Gliscor completely shuts down Marshall. It can also use Acrobatics to deal some serious damage in return. Just be weary to not let Conkeldurr not set up too many Bulk Ups though.

Champion Iris: Only half of her Pokemon are Dragon types, so if you think Ice types would have won you this match you have another thought coming. An Ice type Pokemon may not even be the best choice here, but a one with Ice type moves definitely is. A very nice counter to her team in general is aSamurottor any other water type (Lapras or Vaporeon) with Ice Beam and a water type move (Surf I guess). After doing some training with it, you can beat 80% of Iris' team without breaking a sweat. Lucario again can break the two (counting Hydreigon as it probably can tank an Ice Beam and do serious damage).

The Pokemon required were:

*Again, you can beat it with less Pokemon if you want to, but these many are just to ensure full defeat.

Malva: As much of a pushover every one of these is, Malva can pretty much be defeated by any Water type. If you choseGreninja, that would be your best bet. Otherwise you can also useAzumarill, a nice new alternative with Fairy typing that can come in use later.

Wikstrom: His team has a gaping Ground weakness that is very exploitable withFlygonorDugtrio. For his Scizor, a Fire type likeTalonflameor yourMega Charizard Ywould easily do the trick.

Drasna: Here’s whereAzumarillcan do some work again. It can do away with all of Drasna’s Pokemon other than her Dragalge. For Dragalge, you can resort to your Flygon as it is pretty slow and you’re almost guaranteed to hit it’s weaker defense side before it does a thing.

Siebold: This could possibly be your hardest match, but that’s hardly saying much. An Electric type can seal the game, but the Gyarados knows Earthquake, so playing safely around that is always better. A hard hitter likeMagnezoneis the best Pokemon to use against him.

Champion Diantha: Yet again our little Azumarill wrecks 60% of her team with Waterfall, Play Rough and Superpower. It won’t like playing around with the Gourgeist though, for which you might wanna pull out your Mega Charizard Y or Talonflame to clean it again. Gardevoir can set up Calm Minds, so to make sure that you can take it out in one shot. Magnezone comes in use again with Flash Cannon, which can seal the game to quite an extent.

In Black & White, Alder uses mainly bug types and normal types, so a defensive rock type would be able to withstand a normal type’s STAB attack and be able to beat most of the bug types if it was offensive. Also, a fighting type would easily take out any normal types there. Some suggestions are Gigalith and Sawk respectively.However in Black & White 2, Iris uses mostly dragon types, so steel types could resist STAB attacks while dragon and ice types would be good offensively. You could use Steelix, Haxorus or Beartic respectively.
