I just did a runthrough of pokemon black and I just wanna say how much of a MONSTER she is for a pokemon black run.
To briefly explain it, its the trade pokemon in Nacrene City where you trade a cottonee for it. And I know what youre probably thinking, "no duh its busted, quiver dance + petal dance has sent many mons to an early grave", and while thats a significant part of it, theres much more to her.
Since shes traded, she gains XP faster, making her sooo easy to grind up, to the point where I rarely needed to grind her up with the rest of the team.
Her IVs and nature. Her modest nature is perfect as she never uses her attack and always uses her special attack. It doesnt end there however, as in Mistralton city I learned that due to her IVs, her hidden power is ALWAYS GROUND. This makes it so she cant be walled by fire, poison, or steel types. Additional fun fact: if you see 100 pokemon and go and tell professor Juniper, she'll give you the hidden power TM, meaning theres a very good chance youll be able to use it for the e4, which allowed her to completely sweep Shaunal for me, one-shotting her dreaded chandelure (she could've probably swept more, but I wanted others to get a chance lol)
In addition to being a good staller with leech seed and mega drain in the early game (also the fact that protect is also gained from juniper with 60 mons seen, making even better stalling), she is a menace from the moment you get her, and id strongly recommend her for any black team.
