Which of Purrloin and Pidove is more effective for Black/White 2 playthroughs?

So I’m starting the game and I want a recommendation of 2° Pokemon that’s easy to obtain.(Can be other than these two)!

Purrloin isn’t the best Dark-type. As a pure Dark-type, Zorua is much better. It gains boosted experience as it belongs to N, it’s very easy to grind. While it’s still as frail as Purrloin, it hits harder and has access to good coverage moves, albeit later in the game.

Sandile and Scraggy are also very useful. Both are obtained early-mid game, and their access to good coverage TMs allow them to sweep in fights. The later itself can defeat 3/4th of the Elite Four, handles Iris pretty well as well as Ghetsis.

If this is White 2, then Pidove can later be switched with Braviary. But early game, your best bet is to get hands on it along with Riolu.

I recommend this set:Unfezant @ anythingAbility: Super Luck- Return- Fly- Roost- U-turn (filler)

As for the other option early game, Riolu is suggested.

Lucario @ Expert Belt- Dark Pulse- Force Palm –> Aura Sphere / Close Combat- Bone Rush- Metal Claw –> Meteor Mash
