Appendix:Black 2 and White 2 walkthrough/Section 1: Difference between revisions

* The {{type|Fire}} {{p|Tepig}} is great when battling {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon, but is vulnerable to {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, and {{type|Rock}} attacks. Tepig is unique amongst the Unova starters due to it gaining a secondary type as it grows, while Snivy and Oshawott do not. The {{type|Fighting}} adds two weaknesses, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}, but eliminates the Rock-type weakness. With their ability to learn Fighting moves (albeit {{m|Arm Thrust|only}} {{m|Hammer Arm|two}} naturally) as well as Fire attacks, Tepig's evolutions have the most type advantages of the starter evolutions, with the added edge against {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

* The {{type|Water}} {{p|Oshawott}} has an advantage when facing {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, but may struggle against {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Electric}} attacks. With only these two disadvantages even in its final form, Oshawott is arguably the safest choice of the three starters.
