What Water-type should I add to my Black 2 team?

3 minute read

I defeated Black 2 a year ago and decided to do another run of it in challenge mode, but this time all the Pokemon on my team had to be from gen 5. I have a lan for my team except a water type. I want a water type that can learn surf and waterfall. Swanna and Jellicent I ruled out since I already have a ghost and flying on my plan. So any suggestions for a good water type from gen 5? I don’t like repeat typings on my team btw. Feel free to offer some feedback on my plan team.

Reading your comments I believe you want one that is not post-game it seems?Well, the only one that have then there is not dual type with any type you are already using and is from generation five is Simipour in that game. However if it could use post-game pokémons, pokémons from another generation that also have there or even dual types using the same types you are already using I would sujest something else.

But according to what you are asking, this pokémon is Simipour.It can learn both surf and watterfall, as you want (however I would not advice, especially if you want to beat in hard mode)

As for the movesets:For standarthNature: ModestAbility: Gluttony (Is the ability that you can have if you gonna catch it on the wild, make good use of this ability in places like battle subway is easy, just let it hold a berry with good effect for what you want, like for example a berry that increase special atk in a pinch, but in-game it could be a little difficult, but with the criteria you want, it has to be this, In-game let it hold the berries that can give it some support but you have acess, like preventing sleeping for example, as is easy to get)

It could be difficult to EV train in the in-game team early/mid game, but if you ever get some of the drinks that raise stats, focusing in special attack/speed.–

For covering PartnersNature: TimidAbility: Gluttony (same case as before)

Hydro pump/surfRain danceFocus blastBlizzard/Ice bean

For backup/supportNature: CalmAbility: Gluttony (Lum/chesto/Cheri/Persim berry)

ScaldDouble teamTauntSwagger

EV in Special defense/speed

I’l never advice to use the same pokémon that fights to do HM tasks, it limit you too much but if you really want do this. The following setup is not terrible for both things:

CustomNature: Rash (since increase spl attack but doesn’t dreacrease the attack stats since will be needed)Ability: Gluttony (same as The first two movesets)

SurfWatterfallFocus blastBlizzard

EV in Special attack, attack, speed.

(Just a reminder, i’l never use this last moveset, i’m just trying to be nice and help you the way I believe you want, but the moveset who really would do greath would be the first three ones)

Hope I helped, have a good day!

Carracosta should be the perfect Water type for your team. It can learn both Surf and Waterfall, and can serve as a wall for your team. Its abilities, Sturdy and Solid Rock, are good. HOWEVER, to get Carracosta you must trade from Black/White, get it from the backpacker in Relic Castle(BW), then revive the Cover Fossil in Nacrene City.

Starmie is the best choice because it has a good base and moveset:-High Sp.Atk and Speed-Moveset: Thunderbolt, Icebeam, Scald, Psychic*Can learn Surf and Waterfall
