The ACTUAL Best Team for Pokemon Black and White

I'm not uploading videos as frequently because I am attending law school, but you can rest assured that no matter how long I am gone, I will continue making videos as the years go by.

Edit: I rewatched my video and corrected photos with incorrect size and formats multiple times before uploading, but I failed to notice that my editing software incorrectly saved the image at 10:01 displaying the mummy ability of Cofagrigus. For any viewer who notices this, just want you to know I spotted it only after uploading and will do my best to avoid mistakes like that in the future.

My first ever playthrough of Black I finished the game with Volcorona, Darmanitan, Excadrill, Hydreigon, Samurott and Whimsicott. It was by far some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing through a Pokémon game as a kid and Gen 5 was the generation that pushed me to actually study Pokémon move sets and get into IV breeding and EV training. Once you understand how to EV train effectively on low level mobs and are willing to grind any main line games’ E4 essentially becomes a breeze as you can just pivot and use neutral STAB, not even super effective, moves and absolutely sweep. Volcorona is a beast with Quiver Dance. Also Darmanitan Sheer Force Life Orb STAB Fire Punch made my brain go brrr as a kid. I also loved Haxorus and Conkeldurr on a subsequent playthrough of Pokémon White. Guts Facade Conkeldurr is a beast, thank god my brother had a DS so I could actually use it instead of just coping with a Gurdurr. Truly love these games. Also, great video man. I’m glad this popped up in my recommended.

I remember having a Leavanny on my first playthrough and liking it's design, but I never anticipated it could also make for a strong member against important battles! Really cool to see it!

This was 1 billion percent worth the wait

3:45 Actually, neither of them are version exclusive. Sawk is just harder to find in White and Throh is just harder to find in Black. You can get Sawk/Throh respectively if you hunt the rustling grass encounters in pinwheel forest.

I am so happy with this video!

Just finished black and white with this team. Felt perfection.

You can get the Rock Tomb TM before the 4th gym which helps with the Emolga

This is a good list for battling, but a poor one for exploration enjoyment. "Best" team is subjective, and in my case, a team needs to have 1 flyer and 1 surfer. For me, this basically means I'm running Jellicent and either Braviary/Mandibuzz or Tornadus/Thunderus. Also, for catching Pokemon, sleep is indispensable, even if you're not trying to complete the dex, and Amoongus is the best there is.

btw, for trade evolution, if anyone playing this in emulator, you can modify the rom with *universal pokemon game randomizer* to negate the trading part. timburr with wakeup slap smashes the 2nd gym

Finally, after 53 years you have returned.

never have I experienced better 3d audio in a video than this one.

the team i used in my first pokemon black playthrough was emboar, sigilyph, eelektross, carracosta, krookodile and vanilluxe, since I was like 7, I copied the team from this one walkthrough I watched lmao, I also used a swoobat for a while until I could catch sigilyph

Something I’d like to note that increases Krookodile’s viability is that Excadrill doesn’t learn a good Steel STAB move in BW. It gets Iron Head from the Driftveil move tutor in BW2, but in BW it’s best Steel STAB is Metal Claw. In comparison, Krookodile gets Crunch as its secondary STAB which is much better than Metal Claw. I think Excadrill still does better for Skyla given that you can’t get the Rock Slide TM until after defeating her bc Mistralton Cave is locked till you get Surf, but the lack of decent secondary STAB is a point against Excadrill for me. Plus Moxie is OP and Dark types kinda do great in the E4. So I think I would give Krookodile the edge personally but I will concede that Excadrill is better for Skyla specifically.

my right ear loves this video

As much as I dislike scraggy and its design, it is a very solid pokemon for any BW team. Very good job. I had to beat Ghetsis's hydregon with alomamola stalling the crap out of it with toxic and raindance/rest.

say you dont care about level caps and want to use the legendary dragon in the final fight, what would you box to make room? also, I dont know if im blind or not but did you put the movesets anywhere?

My black team was Samurott Excadrill simisear Archeops Elektross Hydregion

My game glitches and I got a ho-oh early

Why wouldn’t you use leavanny and excadrill as temporary members then replace them later with galvantula and krookidile galvantula has compound eyes hits thunder every single time krookidile has moxie and can sweep 3/4 elite 4 members by himself use emboar, krookidile, archeops, galvantula, ferrothorn and jellicent, the only reason I pick jellicent over carracosta is bc I like having 4 attacks and 2 tanks

Lvl 100 pansage

My team isn’t very good but still want to share it Crookodile Moves:shadow claw, aerial ace, crunch, rock slide Heracross Moves:brick break, close combat, mega horn, and cut (need to replace this) Druddigon Moves: revenge (because of how slow it is), night slash, dragon tail, rock climb Sigilyph Moves: fly, psychic, ice beam, energy ball Emboar Moves: scald, brick break, flare blitz, flame thrower And my last member is a flagon that I’m attempting to train

Does this team work for b2w2 too?

Any good team to go with if oshawott was your starter?

This team is interesting definitely not the best out there I revolve my whole team around ferrothorn easily the best tank in the whole game bc he’s a steel type don’t pick exadrill

if excadrill aint on it, it aint the best

I had this exact team lol as a kid. Not even a reason. Except exadrill I had some flying type for fly.

I know I’m in the minority but Gen 5 was the worst imo. B2W2 was a much better game than BW, but still overall was not as good as the other gens
