Luvdisc 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 D-Tier.
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.
Luvdisc's best stat is Speed at base 97. Water gives decent defensive coverage with 4 resistances.
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.
