>>44386109Ive replayed black 2 twice now and ditched my starter both times.
Team 1 was Ferothorn, Mandibuzz, Jellicent, Excadrill, Mincinno and Darmanitan. Jellicent was fucking useless unless it could land will o wisp and cursed body, mandibuzz was extremely powerful, excadrill failed to impress and ferothorn clutched most of the tough fights. Every fight went to shit as soon as Mincinno died and Darmanitan was absolutely forgettable.
Team 2 is Lucario, Azumarill, eviolite Magmar, Whimsicott, Galvantula and Banette. This magmar has made its entire species one of my favorites because of the jojo-tier turnarounds hes provided against multiple SE opponents, Whimsicott is extremely useful, Lucario hits pretty hard, Banette's high attack is unfortunately very ill utilized due to having very few options but shes great after whimsicott stuns/leech seeds, Galvantula hasnt been the greatest of help and Azumarill has been of help here and there.
My Magmar's nature and characteristic have completely defined his role in the party; A pokemon so sassy and defiant that he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against Burgh, Eliza, Clay, Skyla, Drayden, Marlon and solo'd Ghetsis's Hydreigon, Elektross and Toxicroak at low hp with the most spectacular confuse ray rng I've ever seen in my 16 years with the franchise. He was also the star of every Pokemusical he starred in and Evolved into Magmar when a hippy musician gave him a Toy Guitar. I fucking adore this pokemon for how much of an absolute chad he's been, and having him around was well worth ditching Snivy even though I never intended to use him in the first place.
