Moves List
The egg pool carries weight here. Aqua Jet and Aqua Ring aren't available any other way for Luvdisc, and they meaningfully change what it threatens. Stack those on top of Hydro Pump and Surf for solid options.

Luvdisc Black 2 & White 2 Guide
Honestly, in Black 2 & White 2 Luvdisc is a tough sell at 330 BST. Plenty of stronger Water options exist. Fun pick, not a practical one.
In Black 2 & White 2, Swift Swim changes the entire equation for Luvdisc. The 330 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier. Hydro Pump with Icegem is the standard set.
Swift Swim is what you want on Luvdisc. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Hydration) work on paper but Swift Swim is what makes Luvdisc worth using.
Base 97 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Luvdisc is a special attacker with base 40 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Fragile, can't afford to take many hits.
Game Availability
Available in 14 titles since its debut in Ruby & Sapphire, Luvdisc spans 8 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in a solid number of games.
