[DISCUSSION] Help w/ White and White 2 Team please

[Marcusube]

I've only played White so yeah. Oshawott is your go to starter seeing as how several Pokemon outclass Emboar and Serperior. Seriously, Darumaka, Petilil, Cottonee, Simisear (yes as hard as it is to believe) among others outclass these two starters. Also Oshawott gets a wide array of moves and TMs such as Blizzard, Grass Knot, Megahorn, Hydro Pump and Scald relatively early in the game. Scraggy is really good in this game due to its typing, level up learnset, Shed Skin and bulk. Swanna is pretty good as well to give you something that flies though I wouldn't recommend it as it adds an electric weakness (if you pick Oshawott). Swoobat is pretty good as well early game but won't last long due to its piss poor damage output. Rufflet is an option but it comes around very late in the game. Stoutland is good as well with its base 100 attack stat and you get it very early in the game. Return + Crunch really makes this thing a monster plus it gets Intimidate. The elemental monkeys are actually very useful plus they can be evolved early as most of their moveset is TM reliant. Scolipede is pretty good for STAB megahorn and poison jab as well as having Rock slide and Earthquake as coverage options plus that high base speed is really useful as well. That's about it really. Every other Pokemon takes ages to evolve or are just bad options for an in-game team
