Tranquill Black & White Guide
Tranquill is meant to evolve into Unfezant. At 358 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.
Big Pecks is the go-to ability for Tranquill. It protects against Defense drops. Its hidden ability Rivalry can work in specific setups. Super Luck is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Tranquill is a mixed attacker with base 77 Attack and 50 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Fragile, can't afford to take many hits.
For Black & White, you can run Tranquill through the first few routes without issues. 358 BST won't carry you far though. Get it to Unfezant as fast as you can.
Game Availability
