Got Kyurem. Sad part is I had less trouble catching it than I did a Metang on the way to catching it

| See, this is why the game needs the VS Seeker. My team are all level 48, I want them to be at least 50 before I fight the League so my Deino will at least be a Zweilous. But all I've got to train against are four trainers a day in the sports halls & the triple battles, amounting to gaining about two levels for the whole team. |
Audino = Best experience grinding Pokemon in 5th gen.
my team is almost ready for the E4 again.
I just challenged them to do some grinding but I was defeated by rape-a-rona

| It comes from my White originally, I bred Ice & Thunder Fang onto it. Since I got it there I trained it up to level 45 at the stadia before trading it to Black I also got my Golett there, so I could have it early (you see one in a trainer fight at Celestial Tower). Should have raised that up a bit. Ne'er mind. Incidentally, my full team on Black currently is Hamlet (Excadrill), Yorick (Whimsicott), Ophelia (Larvesta), Horatio (Beartic), Laertes (Golurk) and Fortinbras (Deino). Horatio is a good name for a polar bear. |
No Starter?

Keep in mind Pokemon you encounter in dark grass (a.k.a. the grass where wild double battles can occur) are at slightly higher levels then Pokemon encountered in plain grass.
I've checked both Bulbapedia & Serebii and neither of them make any mention of it. Serebii even has every route listed individually with minimum & maximum levels. Maximum in any pre-League area is 36, then there's a jump up to 47, which is of course in post-League areas only.
Neither site even makes mention of the gates as a location, going from route 10 to Victory Road. When you cross between the first gate and the rest of Route 10 no location name shows up either way, but when you leave the gate to Victory Road it does pop up to say that's where you are. I've even searched around to find other sites in case somewhere did mention it, and the only place I could find that even mentioned it was a page on Yahoo Canada Answers (not exactly the most reputable source of information, but there you go), and it entirely agreed with me.
I found a dozen Audino and countless other Pokémon besides, and everything I found just backed up what I'm saying now, and what the fansites say.

Doesn't factor into it, we're talking about shaking grass, different ball game entirely.

No, none of them are exactly great. I used Samurott in White, partly due to a lack of decent Water types (seriously, in their haste to improve Fire and a few other types, feels like they've neglected Water), and it still doesn't really fit with my team.
I MIGHT use Emboar in Grey, but it's awfully slow, and hasn't got a great movepool, the only moves it has that make it stand out from its peers are Wild Charge - which due to it having Rock moves it would only use only Water types, and pitting it against a Water type is suicide - and Scald, which, whilst 100 isn't too bad of a stat, is a waste of its Attack. Not to mention I'm yet to use Darmanitan.
As for Serperior...what a joke. Both its attack stats are awful, and it has no movepool. With Contrary you could construct a gimmick set with Leaf Storm, but that'd involve getting it via Dream World, not as a starter, and it won't be possible to get it from the Dream World in Black & White as none of its line have overworld sprites programmed in, which it'd need to show up in Entralink.

| IMO Serperior is the best starter this gen, sure it's only gonna be useful during the main story, but goddamn that thing can take hits and the improved Giga Drain is wonderful. |
I feel this Generation of Starter's final evos not to have the best of stats as it feels like they emphasized the wrong stats.
Time to catch Landorus! It's gonna be what? lvl 40? maybe 50 to push the leader thing *presses A* HOLYCRAPNOOOOOO!! IT'S GONNA TEAR MY MONS APART! Okay, at least if i can Paraly-IT'SHALFGROUND. ...and it seems to know sandstorm, fissure and earthquake. Jason is immune to most, only Rock Slide hit. Already at a very low red.
...it eventually destroyed my team. Gonna retry over and over..
Caught it on the second try, and caught Kyurem on the first one.
