Is Walrein or Jellicent better for a BW2 playthrough?

Question

Jellicent @ Leftivers
Ability: Cursed Body
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hex
- Surf

Walrein @ Leftovers
Ability: Ice Body
- Hail
- Blizzard
- Surf
- (some other move probably coverage)

I'm leaning towards Jellicent, but I want some Dragon coverage so I'm not really sure.

Why don't you use Starmie, Vaporeon, or Azumarill?

I dislike using non-native pokemon I don't know why don't ask me, but I did make an exception this time because it also triggers me when I don't have perfect type coverage even if it's in-game. I guess I'm just crazy.

You probably want Walrein, honestly. It learns some pretty good moves, and there are a lot of types Ice and Water hit super effectively together. The annoying part about Walrein is how it's obtained, but you already have one. Thick Fat is the better Ability -- if you can, get one with that. While it doesn't get a lot, it functions as a great HM Slave or mixed attacker.

Jellicent is also quite good, but it's a bit less bulky. Will-O-Wisp and Recover are never really necessary in-game, and it doesn't have many other options.

Walrein @ Leftovers
Ability: Ice Body / Thick Fat
- Surf
- Blizzard / Ice Beam
- Strength
- Signal Beam / Super Fang / really anything

Hope I helped!

Thanks, I will consider your advice. (also I don't have a Walrein I was just speculating in general ;-;)

Ah, then Jellicent might be the better option. You can only find Spheal in winter, and it takes a bit to level up. Good luck!

My brother didn't save my game so it lost me about 5 levels of grinding on my pokemon and a wide lens so I'm kind of unmotivated to play BW2. ;-;
(BTW I chose Jellicent just because I found a good-natured one that was level 40)
