After cold lager'ing for 2 month, do I need to pitch some yeast in my bottle bucket for carbonation.
 
No, you don't really need to. But many people do to ensure a quicker carbonation.

If you choose to, use a "clean" ale yeast like nottingham. Boil up the priming solution, cool it, and add 1/3 package of dry ale yeast to the solution. Stir it well, and then rack the beer into that.
 
Thanks form the info. Will the different yeast strain mess with the beers flavor? I've put a lot of work into it and am hoping for a nice product. Thanks in advance.
