So, I haven't played Pokémon in years, and I really haven't played since generation 3. However, on a whim, I purchased Black 2, and it should arrive today. In advance I've been looking at assembling my team, and below's what I came up with:

Serperior, Electivire, Mamoswine, Chandelure, Yanmega, and Lapras. So, do any off you Pokémon buffs think this a decent team? Any recommendations for substitutes? Thanks!
Boy do I feel honored :yayy:
Unfortunately for you, I can't help you with the locations as the only game(s) in the series that I haven't adamantly played through was the 5th Gen series. However, I've done (and always) do research on Pokemon so as far the ratings of each Pokemon I can help you there, I'll take them one by one and try to help as best I can.
Serperior
Type: Grass
Weaknesses: Fire, Flying, Ice, Posion
Top 3 stats: (1)Speed, (Tie) Defense, Special Defense
The final evolve form of the of the starter Snivy. If you want to have a speedy, defensive grass type, then this is the pokemon for you. Not only can you breed one with Mirror Coat (don't know if you're into that) but it can learn a very nifty move called Coil which raises ATK, Defense and Accuracy as well as the second most powerful grass attack, Leaf Storm. Serperior's movepool is also good as well so I highly recommend it
Elekible/Electivire
Type: Electric
Weakness: Ground; Nullified with Magnet Rise
Top 3 stats: (1)Attack, (2) Speed, (3) Special Attack
One of my personal favorite Pokemon, Electivire boast a little better than average speed stat making it a semi physical sweeper. It's ability, "motor drive" Is a very great ability which absorbs Electric attacks and raises it's speed one stage. The only bad thing about it is obtaining it and that's only through trading with a held item (if it's not the Electrizer in the 5th gen then I recommend you go on serebii.net to find out). Electivire boast a great movepool allowing to fend against those that it is weak against (E.G It can use Ice Punch on a ground type). Electivire has weak defense so matching it up with Physical pokemon such as most fighting pokemon isn't a good idea even if it can do Psychic
Mamoswine
Type: Ice/Ground
Weaknesses: Fire, Steel, Water, Grass
Top 3 stats: (1)Attack, (2) Defense, (3) Speed
Mamoswine, der derp. I personally hate this Pokemon, but I won't late that interfere. Mamoswine has a great attack stat and moves that STAB (STAB is using a move of the same type that allows that attack to gain more damage because of the same type; E.G Earthqauke is a ground type and so is Mamoswine) like Earthquake (Base power will equal 150, it's original is 100. STAB multiplier = Base Power of move/2 + the answer, EG: Earthquake base power is 100. 100/2 = 50, 50+100 = 150) Will usually 1 hit KO Pokemon like Aggron (who has one of the best defenses in the game but it has a dbl weakness) or Pokemon with poor defense stats. Mamoswine has horrible Special Stats, so much that it is fairly easy for a well trained Gengar to kill it with 2 hits. Mamoswine can be evolved from Piloswine by leveling up PS with the move Ancientpower. If Ancientpower is part of it's 4 moves when it levels up, then it will evolve
Chandelure
Type: Ghost/Fire
Weaknesses: Ground, Rock, Ghost, Dark, Water
Best Stats: (1) Special Attack, (2) Speed, (3) Special Defense
Chandelure, has the best special attack out of any Pokemon that isn't a Legendary and is actually the strongest Ghost-type (sorry Gengar). Though it does have a fairly average movepool, it makes up for it's abilities Flash Fire or Flame Body. I recommend getting one with the Flash Fire ability simply because Flash Fire negates all damage done by fire attack and raises you fire attacks by a 1.5 multiplier, great for STAB moves (Fire moves in this case). Breeding this Pokemon wih Acid Armor gives you a Special Sweeping Defensive type as it's Special Defense is a little above average while it's defense is a little below average (Acid armor fixes this problem). Though if you don't want to breed it, I recommend giving it Will - O - Wisp as burning a Pokemon lowers it's Attack stat by 25% while it's in battle
Lappy =3
Type: Ice/Water
Weaknesses: Rock, Thunder, Grass, Fighting
Best Stats? I forgot lol
Also one of my favorite Pokemons and also one of my best (till my bro destroyed my game >_>) through EV and IV training. Lapras has average stats and is well balanced in all of them but speed. Out of this team, Laparas has the best movepool able to learn Electric and even Psychic moves. Lapras has the abilities Shell Armor (Prevents Critical hits on it) and Water Absorb (renders water attack useless and restores 1/4 of it's HP) you choose your own ability lol. What impressive about Lapras is it's HP, it has great enduarance and can be used as a fighter or a staller
My recommendation
Keep em all cept Yanmega, trade him for Crobat
