Haunted House team?

Hey hey! Never played a gen 5 game and wondering if this team would be any good for a playthrough, or if there are any mons to switch to make it better while sticking to the theme? I'm not great with abilities and items I just know it's leaning into Sp Atk (as my team's usually do 😅) and needs some Ice/Dragon and maybe Fighting moves to cover type gaps. Thanks in advance!

Played White & W2 for the first time, Muk is the boss

Just beat the E4 for the first time, Muk after 3 acid armours basically solo’d the dragon gym and Iris. I did use a full restore when Lapras put me to sleep… maybe thunderpunch instead of fire punch next time?

Side note these games are gold and really feel like the perfect successor of the OG gameboy pokemon games. BW2 makes up for a lot of the shortfalls of BW. I wish I had challenge mode unlocked instead of easy mode… not giving that to both games seems a dumb final decision.

Part 2 of my EV-lution training complete! This Jolteon has put maximum effort into Speed and Sp. Atk. Do you comp players think this is viable?😇

Nature: Timid (-Attack/+Speed), Ability: Volt Absorb, Item: Expert Belt, Moves: Thunder Bolt, Signal Beam, Volt Switch, Shadow Ball

What is the objectively best Join Avenue setup?

What is the objectively best Join Avenue setup?

I've seen a lot of different recommendations for Join Avenue, but I'm curious if there's an objectively optimal shop layout for a fully developed avenue.

Assuming your goal is to maximize long-term value , what would your ideal combination of the 8 shop slots be? How many Raffle Shops?How many Antique Shops?Are multiple Dojos worth it? Is it better to have several Beauty Salons, Nurseries, Markets, Flower Shops, or Cafés, or just one of each?

From what I've read, Flower Shops seem to be considered very valuable because of the EV-reducing Berries, and Dojos are often recommended since they make EV training much faster. Is that generally the consensus, or is there a better overall setup?

Thanks in advance!

Umbreon defeated Metagross, Charizard, and other powerful mons only to get defeated by Red's Pikachu! Fortunately, Toxic took Pikachu with it.

Apparently, Pikachu had a Light Ball.

Was looking for a good nature Sneasel for my team and found a shiny one instead

Weavile was supposed to be the last member of my in-game team, since it’s my favorite pokemon oat and cleans house against half of the E4 and Iris’s dragons. And the thing about me is that for these teams, I always try to get a beneficial nature for every member. It makes finding team members a pain, but it’s what makes me feel at peace. So while I was trying to find a jolly or adamant Sneasel, I came across this shiny instead. Obviously I had to catch it, and even thought it was a neutral nature, it was a FRICKING SHINY, so I picked it up for the team. She ended up kicking ass in the pokemon league as a Weavile and one shotted Iris’s Druddigon with ice punch. (I expected her to have a bigger role in the fight, but my other members took care of them before Weavile had to step in.) I just beat the champion, so I’m sure she’ll have many more chances to shine in the post game.

White 2 team in Challenge Mode

The team for this White 2 run on Challenge mode so it's tougher. Any ideas or changes, suggestions? Just arrived by boat in Castelia City.

As I've finished White couple days ago, and enjoyed it alot I think BW and BW2 might be a favorite after Silver and SoulSilver.

Still have Omega Ruby, Ultra Sun and Y to play.

Are there any things in White 2 I shouldn't miss? I did the movies and will be definitely returning to it now and then.

Thank you.

The Lilligant Problem

Starting out with Snivy, I chose my grass type early. But I’ve since been training a Petilil -> Lilligant and I’m questioning my life choices.

Lilligant is awesome. Special attack, Sleep Powder, Synthesis, Quiver Dance. Immenseness is off the charts. I’m minded to drop my starter for it, which seems sacrilegious in Pokémon circles. The other option is I power through with two grass types, which feels just as illegal.

Thoughts? I’m currently in Nimbasa, about to take on Elesa (pray for me) and I’m sporting Growlithe, Psyduck, Elekid, Crobat & Lucario.

Thoughts?
