What should be my fifth Pokemon? (Black/White)?

I'm trying to figure out what I should use as my fifth Pokemon in Pokemon White... I'm thinking either Grass (because I'm totally helpless against Palpitoad) or else maybe Ground. Here are my Pokemon:

Dewott

Aqua Jet, Water Pulse, Razor Shell, Revenge

Herdier

Crunch, Retaliate, Take Down (and an empty slot for a fourth move, if necessary)

Pansear

Flame Burst, Acrobatics, Bite, empty

Zebstrika

Volt Switch, Spark, Stomp, Flame Charge

All of these guys are level 33. What type or type combination do you recommend and where should I go to catch it? (This is actually my first time playing through White; I bought the game when it first came out but only got my Pokemon to level ten or so before I stopped... I just recently got back into it a few weeks ago.)

Thank you! A best answer will be chosen!

    If you want a ground type I would go for excadrill (may need to be caught as a drilbur), it's also quite overpowered once you get swords dance and is really useful in the last gym. However you could probably do with a dark type, especially as two of the elite four are weak to it(ghost and psychic) and it resists another type in the elite four (dark). So I would pick up a Scrafty (perhaps caught as scraggy on routes 1,4,18) or Krookodile (caught as sandile on route 4, the desert resort or relic castle), Krookodile will also have the ground type however wont help you against palpitoad, whereas Scrafty is pretty sound defensively so could probably defeat palpitoad. It can take a lot of hits too and acts as a good switch in if one of your other pokemon are in trouble. In terms of grass I would go for lilligant(can be caught as petilil in Pinwheel forest). It can be quite good with the Own tempo and petal dance combo.

    Get a grass pokemon that can learn leech seed! I find them great for poisoning, paralysis, putting the enemy to sleep,,and for defeating ground & water pokemon if you have strong moves.

    I used Liligant, but I used her just to poison and to stall the other team.

    Try

    Whimiscott- leech seed, energy ball, hurricane, psychic/poison powder/toxic

    Its completely your choice, there are a few good grass types...

    That is how I use my grass pokemon :D I never put them to fight unless they're against water and ground but even then they can be taken out by a ice move, so watch out.

    i in my opinion like it! i replaced into shocked by making use of the age the characters are. I had a annoying time determining on which starter i like proper till I observed a preview that confirmed that pokemon pass regardless of in the event that they do no longer look to be attacking. the fireplace starter Pokabu jumps too lots and the water starter Mijumaru strikes like a under the impression of alcohol television tube tubby. i'm completely going with the grass starter Tsutarja! it relatively is annoying to assert...I completely did no longer assume the starters to coach out how they did. I wager it relatively is gonna be the proper set: barely adequate cool-finding, barely adequate sturdy-finding and barely adequate gorgeous-finding. even consistent with threat a sparkling maximum beutiful pokemon. And no offence, yet i will call 26 pokemon that are extra beutiful than milotic: Articuno, ho-oh, cresselia, rapidash, espeon, glaceon, ninetails, roserade, gardevoir, meganium, dragonair, alteria, pidgeot, lapras, vileplume, vaporeon, bellossom, misdreavus, mismagius, kingdra, illumise, lopunny, lanturn (it relatively is beutiful in case you think of roughly it!), flygon (comparable as lanutrn), ampharos (sam as flygon and lanturn), absol (absol i think of is the main beutiful)...I wager extra'll spring to recommendations quickly yet yeah, Milotic isn't all that large. only throwing that obtainable, lol
