What is Pokemon?Catching PokemonRaising PokemonPokemon BattlesIn-Game TimeChoosing a Starter PokemonPokemon CentersTrainersForms

What is Pokemon

Some people may have heard of Pokemon, but still don't understand what you do in the game. If you don't, this is the place to find out!

Pokemon is an adventure type RPG game. In it, you play as a Pokemon Trainer starting out on his/her adventure. What does this mean exactly? Pokemon Trainers leave their home town to explore their region, a region filled with Pokemon. Before leaving, each trainer chooses a starter Pokemon to accompany them on their journey. Once they have a Pokemon in their team, they can fight other Pokemon.

What type of Pokemon are there? Some Pokemon are wild, and some are owned by other trainers. When you encounter wild Pokemon, you have the opportunity to catch them and use them in your team. You can only carry six Pokemon at a time, but you can catch as many as you like. After catching six Pokemon to fill your party/team the others will be automatically stored in the Pokemon Storage System in the PC at every Pokemon Center. Pokemon Centers are buildings that restore the health of your Pokemon for free. Make note: the Pokemon that belong to trainers cannot be caught. Owned Pokemon usually pose much more of a challenge in battle, as well.

Collecting Pokemon isn't the only thing you do in the game. Raising, Breeding, and Trading Pokemon are also key parts of every Pokemon game. The point of your adventure is to go across your region and fight in Pokemon GYMs. GYMs are filled with Pokemon Trainers and a GYM Leader. Defeat the GYM Leader (the toughest trainer in the building) and you'll earn a GYM Badge. Earn all eight Badges to earn the right to fight in the Pokemon League. The Pokemon League is a place with five of the toughest trainers in the entire game (Elite Four and Champion). Defeat all these trainers in a row (you will have time to heal with items before the next match) and you'll be entered into the Hall of Fame!

Depending on the game, there will be a story wrapped up in your adventure with some type of team trying to take over the world or capture everyone's Pokemon. It all depends on the game. There are also certain Pokemon Games that allow you to face even tougher challenges after defeating the Pokemon League.

Catching Pokemon

Next to Pokemon Battles, Catching Pokemon is the most important thing you need to know! Catching Pokemon may seem pretty simple at first, but as you come across rarer Pokemon, you'll find it a more daunting challenge.

Where to Find Pokemon

All trainers start with one Pokemon from a professor in their home town. As you go on your adventure you'll find wild Pokemon in certain areas. The most common area to find wild Pokemon is in tall grass. Other areas are in the water while surfing, in the water while fishing, in caves, in sand, and in certain other landmarks. Sometimes you may see a moving area on the map. These moving areas could be rustling grass, dust clouds, or dark spots in water. Walk into these areas to initiate a battle with a Wild Pokemon. Pokemon in the moving areas, like rustling grass, are usually rarer than Pokemon in non-moving areas, like regular tall grass.

Only Wild Pokemon can be caught. If you try to catch a trainer's Pokemon, the trainer will block the Pokeball and you'll lose what ever Pokeball you threw.

New areas can be found on various routes in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. These areas are called Hidden Grottoes in the Japanese version. See that page for more info.

Capturing Pokemon

Once you encounter a wild Pokemon, you will be thrown into battle with it. To catch the Pokemon easily, you need to weaken it by lowering its HP and, if necessary, cause some type of Status Effect like Sleep or Paralysis. Once you think it's ready to be captured, throw a Poke Ball at it. There are many different types of balls with different rates of capturing a Pokemon. If the pokemon breaks out of the Poke Ball, you may need to weaken it some more or use a better Poke Ball. The Attack False Swipe has the ability to reduce a Pokemon's HP to one, which can definitely help in capturing a Pokemon.

Critical Capture

It is possible, though rare, to capture a Pokemon after the ball rocks once instead of three times. The more Pokemon you capture, the more likely you get Critical Captures, or so the NPCs in Castelia City say.

Multi-Battle Pokemon

If you come across more than one Pokemon in the wild, you must cause all other Pokemon to faint before you can capture the remaining Pokemon. So, if there are two Pokemon in the wild, take out one and weaken the other. When using a Poke Ball, you must use it before choosing any Moves for your team. The Poke Ball will count as a turn for both of your Pokemon in battle.

Raising Pokemon

Raising Pokemon may seem like an easy task, and it may be to some Trainers. Other trainers may need a few tips here and there.

Catch the Right Pokemon

Catching the right Pokemon isn't always the easiest thing for the more advanced trainers. When catching the right Pokemon, you may watch to check its Abilities and their Nature. These things can help make the game slightly easier when facing those tough Gym Leaders.

Don't worry, you can catch as many Pokemon as you like. Once you reach six Pokemon in your party, the others will be transferred to your PC at a Pokemon Center.

For more tips on Catching Pokemon, check the Catching Pokemon Page.

Check the Stats

When choosing the right move sets for a Pokemon, always check the Stats. You don't want to give a Pokemon Special Attacks if its Special Attack stat is horrible and its Attack stat is through the roof. If you want to get into more advanced areas, check out the IVs and EVs sections.

Battle, Battle, Battle

The obvious choice to raising Pokemon is to Battle other Pokemon. Battling Pokemon will earn you EXP, which allows the Pokemon to raise levels. If the Pokemon is too weak to fight any Pokemon around, you can either use an EXP. Share, or send it out at the start of the battle and switch to another Pokemon before using a move. Both ways will earn it EXP without having to do Battle.

Facing Trainers is usually the best way to earn EXP. Facing Wild Pokemon will earn you EXP, but usually not as much as trained Pokemon.

Pokemon Centers

If your Pokemon gets injured, take it to a Pokemon Center. This is usually a no brainer to everyone out there.

Use the PC at the Pokemon Center to switch up your team, or trade for other Pokemon with friends. Traded Pokemon will always grow faster than Pokemon you catch in your game. This is a bit of a double-edged sword. If your Pokemon grows too quickly, you may not earn the badge needed to keep it obeying you. The Pokemon will start using other Attacks in battle, or it may go to sleep instead of battling!

There are also two merchants in Pokemon Centers that sell various items for Pokemon. Pick up

healing items for Pokemon Battles to make things go smoothly. You can also find Stat boosting items at certain Shopping Centers in game which can buff up your team.

Evolution

Evolution may be a mystery to Motorhead, but with our help, any trainer can easily understand it.

Many Pokemon evolve to stronger forms. Evolution is always a good choice, but it's not always instantly the right choice. Most Pokemon learn their moves quicker if they don't evolve. Some Pokemon don't even learn any more moves once they evolve! Then there are some Pokemon that only learn certain moves once they evolve. Evolution can be a tricky choice to make, but it is always the right choice to make when facing tougher challenges. Make sure you fully check out a Pokemon before evolving. It may learn a new Ability or add a new Type.

Remember, not all Pokemon evolve from leveling up. Some Pokemon need to use certain items, level up at a certain time of the day, level up at a certain area, get traded to a friend, or hold an item and get traded to a friend.

Pokemon Battles

Are you new to Pokemon and don't know the ins and outs of Pokemon Battles? This is the place to be! Of course, you can always play and learn through trial and error.

Pokemon Battles are the primary component to any Pokemon game. You can carry one to six Pokemon in your team at any time. The same goes for whoever you face in a battle. You, and the trainer you battle, have the option to switch to another Pokemon at any time during the battle. After a Pokemon on the other team is defeated, you will be given the option to choose a substitute Pokemon to face the new Pokemon, unless you changed the Battle Style option in the options menu to Set instead of Rotate.

The objective of all battles is to make all the Pokemon on the other team faint. To do this, you must drain all HP from the other team's Pokemon. If you lose a Pokemon Battle, you will be sent to the last Pokemon Center you visited to heal your Pokemon. Your Pokemon will keep any increases in levels or new moves they may have earned during the previous battle, but if a Pokemon was about to evolve, you'll have to wait until they reach the next level again.

Now lets go a bit more in depth.

Hit Points

HP, which is short for Hit Points, are the points a Pokemon associates its health with. As Pokemon level up, they gain more HP. You must attack another Pokemon until they lose all HP and faint.

Attacks

To reduce a Pokemon's HP, you must use certain Attacks on a Pokemon. The battling system is based on the old school RPG turn based battling system. Both sides choose an attack and the Pokemon with the higher speed stat, or faster move, hits first. Each and every Pokemon can learn up to four moves at any given time. As they level up, they can learn new moves and replace one of the four in their move set. For more information on Attacks, see the Attacks page.

Power Points

Each Pokemon Attack has PP, which is short for Power Points. PP is the amount of times you can perform an attack before it becomes useless. Each time you use an attack, you will lose one PP on that particular attack.

Some moves have a lot of PP, like Tackle's 35 PP. Other moves may only have 5 PP. If all your moves run out of PP during a Pokemon Battle, you perform a special move called "Struggle." Struggle is a type-less physical attack that hurts the Pokemon that's using it ([[Recoil]) a small amount each time they hurt the enemy.

Items

In addition to Attacks, you can use Items on Pokemon to help them out during battle. Not all Items can be used in battle, but the ones that can may make or break a match. Items can be used to heal a Pokemon's HP, heal a Pokemon's Status Effects, or even revive a fainted Pokemon! For more on Items, check out the Items sections.

Different Battles

Battles are no longer simply one on one; although, the majority of Battles still are. Now days, you can battle two on two and even three on three!

In Battles with more than two Pokemon, some attacks you perform can be done on your team's Pokemon or to the opponent Pokemon. Of course, you don't want to perform any harmful attacks on your team's Pokemon, but there are some attacks that will affect all the Pokemon on the field.

Once one Pokemon faints, another Pokemon can come into the battle until there are no Pokemon left. You may even reach a point where it's one on two or even one on three! Take out all Pokemon to win the match.

Double Battles

Double Battles are two on two. Sometimes Wild Pokemon will even come out in double battles. These battles are pretty simple, they're pretty much like single battles, but with two Pokemon.

As mentioned earlier, some Moves can hurt Pokemon on your team, and other moves are made specifically for helping your team. View the Move Dex page to see the type of attacks that help or hurt your team.

Multi-Battles

Multi-Battles are exactly the same as Double Battles, but two trainers (four total) will be on each side with their own Pokemon. If you defeat all the Pokemon of one trainer, only one Pokemon instead of two will be released on that side.

Triple Battles

Triple Battles are three on three. Unlike Double Battles, Triple Battles are a bit more difficult. The difference in Triple Battles is the range of Pokemon's Attacks. Some attacks can only hit Pokemon in front of the user, or one space to the left or right. Pokemon in the middle can easily hit all three opponents, but all three opponents can also hit the middle Pokemon. As for the Pokemon on the left and right side, they won't be able to reach the Pokemon on the opposite side of the battle unless they use certain long range attacks. View the Move Dex page to see the attacks that can hit long range.

As mentioned earlier, some Moves can hurt Pokemon on your team, and other moves are made specifically for helping your team. View the Move Dex page to see the type of attacks that help or hurt

your team.

If the last two Pokemon are too far away to hit each other, they will both be reset to the middle positions.

Rotation Battles

Rotation Battles were extremely rare, but they are a lot more common in B2W2.

Three Pokemon are on the field, but only one Pokemon faces one Pokemon at a time. It's sort of like a Single Battle, but the three Pokemon can switch places at any time. The trainers can choose an attack, or rotate Pokemon and choose an attack without missing a turn like in single battles. The rotation will always happen before any moves are used. All Stat Changes will remain on all three Pokemon, even if they are rotated out. Eliminate all Pokemon to win the match.

In-Game Time

Pokemon has taken steps to make their environment more unique and fun than most RPGs out there. Just like the real world, Pokemon Black and White has cycles for days, weeks, and even seasons!

Days and Weeks

Daily and Weekly cycles are simple enough to understand, and bring a whole new level to Pokemon games. Time of the day and days of the week are completely dependent on the clock in your DS. If you have it set to the correct time and day, your game will completely reflect real time. If it's 7 PM on a Wednesday where you live (and you DS is set to this), then it will be 7 PM on a Wednesday in Pokemon.

Certain events or specific Pokemon will not be found unless it's a certain time of day or day of the week. Most Pokemon come out at any time, but select Pokemon will only come out at a certain time of the day.

When will it be morning, day, evening, or night? That all depends on the Season.

Seasons

Seasons were a new feature introduced in Pokemon Black and White. Like Days and Weeks, Seasons will use the clock in your DS to set a season. Unlikes Days and Weeks, an entire season will only last for one month. The four seasons and the months they land on are:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

January February March April

May June July August

September October November December

Certain Pokemon, certain Pokemon Forms, or certain events can only be found in specific seasons. You'll also notice a change in the world, some routes more than others. Trees changing color is a benign example, but sometimes the Weather will change with the seasons.

As mentioned earlier, time of day changes with the seasons:

Season Morning Day Evening Night

Spring 05:00-09:5910:00-16:59

17:00-19:5920:00-04:59

Summer 04:00-08:5909:00-18:59

19:00-20:5921:00-03:59

Autumn 05:00-09:5910:00-16:59

17:00-19:5920:00-04:59

Winter 07:00-10:59 11:00-15:59 16:00-18:59 19:00-06:59

As you can see, this is based on a 24 hour clock. 00:00 is midnight, 6:00 is 6 AM, 12:00 is Noon, and 18:00 is 6PM.

Choosing a Starter Pokemon

Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 brings back the same starters from Pokemon Black and White for you to choose from when beginning your adventure with each starting at level 5. Don't know which to choose? Well, we're here to help.

Snivy

Snivy is the Grass-Type Snake Pokemon. At level 16, it evolves into grass type Servine. At level 36, Snivy will evolve to the super fast pokemon Serperior. Serperior will remain a pure grass type.

Serperior's Speed Stat trumps all other stats, followed by its Defense and Special Defense stats. It would not be a great choice if you want an all out attacking Pokemon. Use Serperior for more defensive strategies without having to worry about striking last.

Tepig

Tepig is the Fire-Type Pig Pokemon. At level 16, it evolves into fire-fighting type Pignite. At level 36, Tepig will evolve to the powerful Emboar. While evolving, it will gain the Fighting-Type trait along with Fire. Remember, dual types are like a double edged sword.

Emboar's Attack stat is the best out of all six stats, followed closely by HP and then Special Attack. Its Defense, Special Defense, and Speed are all tied for worse, which are nearly half compared to its Attack stat. As you can see, Emboar is the best choice for an all out physical offense. Of course, Emboar will be completely open to attacks. Some say a good offense is a good defense.

Oshawott

Oshawott is the Water-Type Otter Pokemon. At level 16, it evolves into water type Dewott. At level 36, Oshawott will evolve into the well rounded Samurott. Like Snivy, Oshawott will remain a pure water type throughout it's evolutionary chain.

Samurott is a pretty well rounded Pokemon when it comes to stats, but it's Special Attack is the

highest of all its stats. The Special Attack doesn't get as high as Emboar's Attack stat, but it's not far behind. The next highest stat is the Attack stat and HP stat, which are nearly the same. The next highest stat is defense, and the lowest are special defense and speed. Those two aren't much higher than Emboar's lowest stats, but it still makes Samurott the best choice for well rounded stats.

Gym Advantages

When it comes to facing the eight Gyms of Unova, Snivy may be the worst choice of the three. It has a Type disadvantage to three of the eight Gyms, and is only strong against one. The same could be said with Tepig who is strong against one and weak against three once it evolves to Fighting / Fire. The best choice when it comes to type alone is Oshawott. It's strong against one gym and weak against one other. The other six Gyms are neutral.

If you count the Bug type Gym as part Grass, seeing as how many of the Pokemon are half grass and half bug, Oshawott would be weak and Tepig would be strong. Still, Oshawott may be the easiest choice for the inexperienced trainer.

Pokemon Centers

Pokemon Centers are buildings that can be found in every major city in Pokemon games. In Pokemon Black and White, they are used to heal your Pokemon (for free) and to buy Items specifically for your Pokemon. Past games split this up into Pokemon Centers and Pokemarts, but now everything can be found at the Pokemon Center.

Pokemon Centers are also used for Trading and Battling with friends at the three counters on the top floor.

If there's a Special Wi-Fi Event Pokemon that's given out, you will most likely receive it from a man in a Pokemon Center.

Make sure to head to a Pokemon Center to heal your Pokemon and stock up on items. Pokemon do not automatically heal after battle, which means you may need to heal multiple times while near a city.

Trainers

For those who are unfamiliar to Pokemon games, Trainers are the people who own and battle Pokemon. There are many types of trainers in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. Most of them only look different when compared to each others, but certain trainers may act a bit different.

Common Trainers

Ace TrainerBlack BeltBackpackerBug CatcherFishermanHikerLassPokefanRich Boy / Lady - Gives massive amounts of money.Youngster - Gives small amounts of money.And more

Special Trainers

Breeder - Rebattles you every time you enter the area.Doctor / Nurse - Heals your Pokemon after battle.Ranger - Gives a Berry with money.

Advanced Strategies

There's a lot more to Pokemon's RPG gameplay than meets the eye. In order to truly become a PokeMaster, there are a lot of things you'll need to learn and keep in mind. That's what this section is for. Here you'll find tips from the IGN team, as well as from competitive Pokemon players (and whoever else has something awesome to contribute). Follow the tips and guidelines in the following pages and you'll be destroying the competition faster than you can say, "Pikachu."

Building a Competitive Pokemon Team - Tips from pro trainer Ray Rizzo.

Building a Competitive Pokemon Team

If there's anyone who knows what's what when it comes to team building, it's Ray Rizzo. Those who follow the competitive world of Pokemon might recognize Rizzo as the dude who won the 2010 and 2011 Pokemon World Championships. Recently Professor Rizzo was kind enough to share with IGN his five tips on how to build an affective, competition-ready team.

Are you ready to Poke Pwn with your Poke Party? Or something similar? Good, because here we go. (And thanks for the advice, Rizzo!)

#1 Choose Pokémon that complement your team’s strategy

For example, say your team’s strategy is to utilize the move Trick Room, which makes slower Pokémon move first and faster Pokémon move last. First, you’ll want to choose a couple Pokémon that can learn the move Trick Room. You’ll then want to choose slower Pokémon with either high Attack or high Special Attack to fill out the rest of your team. Using a fast Pokémon like Jolteon or Aerodactyl is counterintuitive to a Trick Room strategy since they will be the Pokémon attacking last when Trick Room is in effect. Whether your team’s strategy involves Trick Room, Rain Dance, Sunny Day, or one of the many other possible strategies, make sure all of your chosen Pokémon bring something to the table.

#2 Choose Pokémon who don’t share common weaknesses

Even though Pokémon like Zapdos, Garchomp and Latios are all really strong monsters, if you create a team with all of them you will have three Pokémon that all share an Ice-type weakness. Even if your other three Pokémon are strong against Ice-types, it’s too risky to use multiple Pokémon with the same weakness. I recommend having no more than two Pokémon on the same team that share a common weakness.

#3 Make good use of your four moves

Each Pokémon can only take four moves into battle, so you need to make good use of them. I recommend not using two attacks of the same type (for example, you wouldn’t want to use both Fire Blast and Flamethrower). Unlike when you’re playing through the game, when you’re battling competitively you don’t need to have Pokémon that know all of the Hidden Machines or HM’s, so learning moves like Strength, Cut or Rock Climb is kind of a waste. Also, moves that are the same type as the Pokémon using it get a power up, so always try to use a move that’s the same type as the user, even if it isn't Super Effective against any type (like Normal moves). Try to teach your Pokemon moves that can hit the opposing Pokémon’s weaknesses super effectively. For example, a Water-type can make great use of the move Ice Beam because it can hit Grass-types super effectively.

#4 Use Pokémon that can go up against commonly used Pokemon and strategies The more powerful Pokémon are naturally used in battle by more players. Make sure your team has a way to defeat these popular Pokémon because you will end up playing against them frequently. Have a way

to defeat commonly used strategies, too. For example, it’s always a good idea to have one slow Pokémon that can be used against opposing Trick Room teams, or a Pokémon that resists Water moves when Battling against Rain Dance teams.

#5 Practice with your team and fix any weaknesses

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version introduced a way to battle against trainers from all over the world. Take advantage of this opportunity and battle against a lot of other people to see how well your team performs against various Pokémon and strategies. Just because your team looks good on paper doesn’t mean it’ll perform well in battle. If your team is losing against the competition, take note of which Pokémon aren’t working well and figure out which Pokémon you can replace them with to fix your team’s weaknesses. It’s very rare for someone to build a really successful team on their first try, so don’t get discouraged if you’re losing a lot at first. Figure out your team’s weaknesses, fix them, and keep battling!

Stats

Every Pokemon has Base Stats in their Menu Summary. There are six different stats that determine how great a Pokemon can be. They are: HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. There are also Accuracy and Evasion stats which don't depend on the Pokemon, but depend on the Pokemon Attacks in Battle.

Base Stats

HP is the Base Stat that determines the Hit Points of your Pokemon. Hit Points are the amount of points each Pokemon has until they faint. In essence, HP goes hand in hand with the Defense stat.

Attack is the Base Stat that determines the Physical Power of your Pokemon. Attacks like Body Slam will rely on the Attack Stat for the damage it deals.

Defense is the Base Stat that determines how much damage your Pokemon can resist from Physical Attacks.

Special Attack is the Base Stat that determines the Special Power of your Pokemon. Attacks like Flamethrower will rely on the Special Attack Stat for the damage it deals.

Special Defense is the Base Stat that determines how much damage your Pokemon can resist from Special Attacks.

Speed is the Base Stat that determines the place your Pokemon will strike in Battle. Since Pokemon Battles are turn based, Speed determines if your Pokemon will attack first or last. This may not be a huge deal in Single Battles, but if it's three on three, one of the Pokemon will attack sixth!

However, some Attacks -- like Quick Attack -- will strike first even if your Pokemon has a lower Speed Stat than the enemy Pokemon. Likewise, attacks like Avalanche may strike last every time. If both Pokemon in the battle use one of these type of moves, the Speed Stat will determine who strikes first.

Battle Stats

Accuracy is the Stat that determines the ability to hit a Pokemon. All Attacks have accuracy which may be 100% accurate or only 30% accurate. The less accurate attacks are usually the stronger ones. Their accuracy is reduced to keep balance in the game. Some moves -- such as Aerial Ace -- will always hit no matter what your Pokemon's Accuracy is!

Evasion is the Stat that determines the ability of your Pokemon to dodge an attack. A Pokemon's Evasion can be increased or decreased in battle to evade a Pokemon's Attacks, just like if you were to lower a Pokemon's Accuracy.

Stat Modification

While in battle, all stats (except HP) can be increased and decreased with certain Attacks. Each stat can be increased six times and decreased six times -- that's twelve times if it's at the maximum and is reduced to the minimum. Base Stats and Evasion / Accuracy modifications are a bit different from each other.

Base Stat Modifications

Base Stats can be increased or decreased a max of six stages with stat changing attacks. Certain stat changing attacks can alter your stats two stages at a time, meaning you only have to use the attack three times instead of six!

The following tables showcase the Increases and Decreases made to Base Stats. Say an attack does 50 Points of Damage. If you increase a stat that affect's that damage by three stages, you'll increase the damage by 150%, adding 75 points to the 50 points of damage, making it a total of 125 damage. Some find it easier to use Damage Multiplier by multiplying 50 by 2.5x to get 125 Damage.

Battle Stat Modifications

Unlike Base Stat changes, Accuracy and Evasion get changed up in different values. The principles are the same, and you can increase or decrease the stats by six stages, but the amount they're increased or decreased is slightly altered.

Individual Values

Individual Values (or IVs) are stats given to a pokemon when you first meet them. IVs are one of the factors that help make pokemon different from other Pokemon. These stats cannot be seen by looking at any stat menu in the game, but they are sometimes calculated roughly by using special calculators around the net. The calculators aren't always accurate but the numbers are usually somewhere between 0 and 31 -- 0 being the worst and 31 being the best.

IVs will determine how high or low a particular stat can possibly be. A Pokemon's Individual Values are best calculated when you first catch the Pokemon. The more you use a Pokemon in battle the more Effort Values it will gain, which will alter the calculations.

Hidden Power

The Element for the attack Hidden Power is calculated entirely on the IVs of your pokemon. Hidden Power is a special move that can be any of the different types for a pokemon (Grass, Electric, Dragon etc). Not only is the type calculated by the IVs but so is the base power of the move up to 70.

If you wish to know the Type of your Pokemon's Hidden Power, talk to a character in a booth at Pokemon World Tournament.

Breed IVs

If you have a Pokemon with a good set of IVs in a particular stat, you can pass down those IVs when Breeding. All you need to do is give a special item to the parent of the Pokemon you want to pass down IVs to. The item will pass down the IV of the stat it boosts.

Power Weight - HP IVsPower Bracer - Attack IVsPower Belt - Defense IVsPower Lens - Special Attack IVsPower Band - Special Defense IVsPower Anklet - Speed IVs

If, however, you give two different power items to both parents, the IV will be chosen at random for the offspring.

Pokemon Personalities

Pokemon's Personalities shown at the stats screen usually shows the best IV in all of your stats. However, it doesn't tell you how good your best stat really. It's possible your best stat only lands a 9 in the 0-31 IV Scale! Each personality will be under a certain IV. For example "Proud of it's Power" is for the Attack stat and "Loves to Eat" is for the HP Stat.

Effort Values

Effort Values (or EVs) are hidden stats you cannot see in any menu screen. Originally, these were made for making Pokemon unique from other Pokemon, but in recent years it has been utilized to make your Pokemon stronger in a particular stat while you train them. Unlike Individual Values, Effort Values must be earned through battle.

Effort Values in Detail

For Effort Values to boost up your stats, you must gain Effort Value points in each of the six Stats. Each stats needs four EV points to boost it by one. Example: Say your Attack is 30 and you want it to gain three more points; you will need 12 EV points from a pokemon that gives Attack EV points to boost it the necessary 3 Attack Points. That's a basic sense of how it works, but it can get a bit more complicated.

Each Pokemon you fight and defeat will give one to three EVs in a particular stat. Very few pokemon give EVs in two stats (i.e. Attack and Defense) at once. We should note, battling friends will not boost your Pokemon's stats, just like it won't boost their EXP. Same can be said for Battle Facilities, with the exception of Black Skyscraper and White Tree Hollow.

Each time a Pokemon levels up, certain stats will earn a few extra points. They may get three to attack, five to HP, etc. EV Training increase the amount of points a stat raises at each level, possibly a bigger increase than usual, but this isn't all that happens. When adding Effort Values to a stat, the stat actually increases before a level up occurs. Most people may not notice with most of the stats, but when an HP Up is used, the HP of the Pokemon visibly changes. Still, the Stats will not increase by EVs alone, the increases will be spread throughout the Pokemon's levels. The Pokemon will get many +4s or +5s in a particular stat. If the Pokemon is already at a high level, you may even see a +30 or so. The full benefit of EVs will occur at Level 100.

Effort Value training will not boost up certain stats while eliminating all increases in other stats during a level up. Pokemon Stats will still increase each time they level up, even if no EVs were earned for that particular stat. However, adding EVs to a particular stat will increase the value more than a stat that has little or no EVs.

Furthermore, Pokemon cannot gain unlimited EVs to max out a their stats. Pokemon can only gain a total of 510 EVs spread throughout all six stats, and only a max of 255 EVs can make it onto one stat.

The 252 EV Rule of Thumb

As mentioned earlier, one Stat increase needs four Effort Values. If you were to put 255 Effort Values on a stat, you would waste three Effort Values since 255 is not divisible by four (255 / 4 = 63.75). You can't add .75 to a stat, so it's rounded down to 63.

You will get the same stat points with 252 EVs, but you're not wasting three (six total if two stats are maxed out) valuable Effort Value Points.

Manage With Nutrient Drinks, Wings, and Berries

Effort Value Points can easily be added on with Nutrient Drinks available at Shopping Mall Nine for $9800. They can also be found at the Battle Subway and Pokemon World Tournament for 1 Battle Point each. The Nutrient Drinks and stats they increase are:

Nutrient Drinks EVs Added To

HP Up Hit Points (HP)

Protein Attack

Iron Defense

Calcium Special Attack

Zinc Special Defense

Carbos Speed

Each Nutrient Drink adds ten Effort Value points to a specific stat. However, you can only give a max of ten Nutrients to a stat to make 100 Effort Value points. If the Stat already reached 100 EV points, or if your Pokemon already has 510 EV points total, you will not be able to use anymore Nutrient Drinks.

Another Effort Value increasing item are special Wings. These will add one EV to a particular stat, similar to Nutrient Drinks. However, they can be used on a stat that's over 100 EVs, but not over the 255 EV limit.

Not only can EV points get added on from items, but it's also possible to remove them with special berries! The berries and stats they reduce are:

Berries EVs Taken From

Pomeg Hit Points (HP)

Kelpsy Attack

Qualot Defense

Hondew Special Attack

Grepa Special Defense

Tamato Speed

The first berry used will reduce the Effort Values on a stat to 100 if it's any number over 100. After that, each berry will lower the EVs by ten points. These berries can be bought from a woman on Route 5 once a day. Only five berries will be given for $200. The berries will be random. If you want a specific berry, save before buying the berry, then soft reset if you got the wrong one.

Boost With Hold Items

Gaining EVs in battle is a lot easier with special hold items. The Macho Brace doubles the amount of EVs you gain from battle. However, other items can make EV Training even easier. These hold items will add four additional EV points to a specific stat after winning a battle or defeating a wild Pokemon. These items and the stats they increase are:

EV Hold Items EVs Added To

Power Weight Hit Points (HP)

Power Bracer Attack

Power Belt Defense

Power Lens Special Attack

Power Band Special Defense

Power Anklet Speed

So, if a Pokemon holding a Power Weight defeats a pokemon that would grant three EV points for HP, they will gain seven EVs at the end of the battle. If that same Pokemon defeats a Pokemon that would grant three EVs for Attack, they would gain three EV points in Attack and four EV points in HP.

Unfortunately, you will not gain four extra EVs per Pokemon you defeat, but only four extra EVs per battle. These items can be bought at the Battle Subway and Pokemon World Tournament.

EXP Share

Lets not forget about the hold item EXP. Share. Not only does this item allow you to share EXP with other Pokemon, but you can EV train lower leveled pokemon too! If a Pokemon is holding EXP. Share, and another Pokemon in your party battles and defeats a Pokemon that gives you one Speed EV, then both Pokemon - the one that fought and the one with EXP Share - will receive one Speed EV.

The same EV Sharing effect will happen without EXP. Share if you switch a Pokemon out of Battle to a new Pokemon. Both Pokemon that earn EXP will earn the same amount of EVs from the defeated Pokemon.

Pokerus

Pokerus, shortened to PKRS in the stats screen, is a very useful and VERY rare virus in the pokemon world. This virus will allow your Pokemon to gain EVs twice as fast as before. It's the same thing as using the Macho Brace, except you don't have to hold an item and your speed will not be cut in half.

You can get pokerus by battling a wild pokemon that has the infection. The virus is about as rare as a Shiny Pokemon. Once you catch it, you'll see the letters PKRS in the menu section of the stats screen. The next time you go to a pokemon center Nurse Joy will tell you that your pokemon has caught Pokerus.

For your other pokemon to catch it, you must keep the infected pokemon in your party with other Pokemon and battle any Pokemon. Each time you battle, a new Pokemon near the infected Pokemon should catch Pokerus.

After 1-4 days (at midnight), the Pokerus will no longer be contagious, but your Pokemon will still have it in their system. It may not say PKRS but it will show a small purple :( in the Pokemon's Summary Menu. To make sure you have Pokerus for a long time to infect other future pokemon, keep a pokemon with Pokerus in your PC. If it's in there, it will remain contagious until you keep it outside of the PC for one to four days. It can vary from virus to virus.

EV Training Locations

Need a great place to train EVs in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2? Try the following areas:

HP

Route 8, Icirrus City, and Moor of Icirrus are all great places to train the HP Stat. Common Pokemon include Stunfisk, Palpitoad, and Seismitoad. Both Palpitoad and Stunfisk give 2 EV Points, and Seismitoad gives 3. Stack the 2 Points with a Power Weight to get 6 EV Points. If you happen to have Pokerus as well, that's 12 EV Points in one battle!

Attack

Victory Road's caves on the side of the mountain are a great place to train the Attack Stat. Two of the caves hold only Druddigon and Zweilous, both give 2 EV Points to Attack. Stack that with a Power Bracer to get 6 EV Points. If you happen to have Pokerus as well, that's 12 EV Points in one battle!

Defense

Chargestone Cave may be the best place to train the Defense Stat. The cave holds Ferroseed, Klink, Nosepass, and Boldore. Each one gives 1 EV Point, but Boldore gives an EV Point to both Defense and Attack. If you're not training Attack, you may want to avoid them. Stack that with a Power Belt to get 5 EV Points. If you happen to have Pokerus as well, that's 10 EV Points in one battle!

Special Attack

Celestial Tower may be the best place to train the Special Attack stat. Celestial Tower has Elgyem and Litwick, but you may get the occasional Golbat as well. Both give 1 EV a piece. Stack that with a Power Lens to get 5 EV Points. If you happen to have Pokerus as well, that's 10 EV Points in one battle!

Special Defense

Route 21 is a great place to train the Special Defense Stat. The river path has many Frillish and Mantyke in the water. You may even run into a Jellicent in the dark spot. Frillish and Mantyke give 1 EV each, but Jellicent gives 2. Stack Jellicent with a Power Band to get 6 EV Points. If you happen to have Pokerus as well, that's 12 EV Points in one battle!

Speed

There are many bodies of water around Unova that hold Basculin. Even a small pool next to your house in Aspertia City hold nothing but Basculin while surfing. Each Basculin gives 2 EV Points. Stack that with a Power Anklet to get 6 EV Points. If you happen to have Pokerus as well, that's 12 EV Points in one battle!

Sample use of EVs

Effort Values are exceptionally useful for creating a competitive team. Take an old double battle's strategy developed for fun in Gen 3 as an example:

Swag and Swat Strategy (Popularized by Brandon Schievenin on the now-defunct netbattle client).

Aerodactyl: (Holding a Persim Berry) Nature: JollyMax Speed (255 EVs)Max Attack (255 EVs)

EarthquakeRock SlideAerial AceProtect

Ninjask (Holding Silverpowder) Nature: JollyMax Speed (255 EVs)Max Attack (255 EVs)

SwaggerHidden Power: BugScreechProtect

This opening team was fairly effective. Ninjask is the fastest pokemon in the game when the EVs are maxed. Use Ninjask to swagger your own Aerodactyl (increasing attack by two stages and confusing it). Aerodactyl's Persim berry would cure the confusion, and he would attack with Earthquake (doesn't affect Ninjask, hits the other two pokemon) or Rock Slide (affects both opposing pokemon, receives a same type attack bonus) as he saw fit. The team's weakness was Jolteon and Electrode, two electric types naturally faster than Aerodactyl. The option to switch Ninjask with Manectric (a pokemon with the ability Lightningrod, which ensures electric attacks hit that pokemon in a double battle) was a

messy solution. With the extra EVs, Aerodactyl was sometimes faster than opposing Jolteon or Electrodes. Because the team's success was dependent on speed, EVs were critical. Also note, however, that Trick Room-based teams were very effective against my opening combination.

Natures

You may notice each Pokemon you catch will have a Nature in their stat menu. What is a Nature? A Nature increases one of your Pokemon's stats by 10% while decreasing another stat by 10%. Five of the 24 natures do nothing at all.

Pokerus

Pokerus, shortened to PKRS in the stats screen, is a very useful and VERY rare virus in the pokemon world. This virus will allow your Pokemon to gain EVs twice as fast as before. It's the same thing as using the Macho Brace, except you don't have to hold an item and your speed will not be cut in half.

You can get pokerus by battling a wild pokemon that has the infection. The virus is about as rare as a Shiny Pokemon. Once you catch it, you'll see the letters PKRS in the menu section of the stats screen. The next time you go to a pokemon center Nurse Joy will tell you that your pokemon has caught Pokerus.

For your other pokemon to catch it, you must keep the infected pokemon in your party with other Pokemon and battle any Pokemon. Each time you battle, a new Pokemon near the infected Pokemon should catch Pokerus.

After 1-4 days (at midnight), the Pokerus will no longer be contagious, but your Pokemon will still have it in their system. It may not say PKRS but it will show a small purple :( in the Pokemon's Summary Menu. To make sure you have Pokerus for a long time to infect other future pokemon, keep a pokemon with Pokerus in your PC. If it's in there, it will remain contagious until you keep it outside of the PC for one to four days. It can vary from virus to virus.

Abilities

Each and every Pokemon has a special Ability attached to them. You can see this ability along with a small summary in the Pokemon Summary Menu when checking out your Pokemon.

Some Pokemon, like your starters, can only learn one type of Ability. Other Pokemon, like Snorlax, have two different abilities they can learn from. The ability is determined the instant you get into a Pokemon Battle with the wild Pokemon. Once the ability is set, you can't change it. Certain Pokemon may change abilities when they evolve, and there's no way around it.

Along with normal abilities found on Wild Pokemon, there are rare abilities that can only be found on Pokemon in Hidden Grottoes, Pokemon Dream World, select Wi-Fi Event Pokemon, or on Unique Pokemon in the game.

Attacks

Attacks are the various moves Pokemon know and learn as they level up. Every Pokemon has at least one move they know from the moment they're born. From there, they can learn up to four moves at one time. If you wish to learn a new move, you'll have to replace one of the four moves.

Attacks can be learned through leveling up, using TMs or HMs, Breeding, or using Move Tutors. Certain attacks can be used outside of battles, most of them being HMs.

For a list of all attacks and moves in Pokemon, see the Move Dex.

Three Different Move Types

All Pokemon Attacks are separated into three categories: Physical, Special, and Status. In the older days, Attacks were always Physical or Special depending on the Type they used. These days, attacks can be either Physical or Special with an Element attached to it.

All Physical attacks use the Attack stat to deal damage, while the Defense stat is used to resist that damage. Just the same, all Special attacks use the Special Attack stat to deal damage, while the Special Defense stat is used to resist that damage. There may be select moves that criss cross.

Status attacks are moves that change Stats or inflict Status Effects on other Pokemon. Elements may not play a role when using these types of Attacks. Sand-Attack (a Ground move) can hit a Flying Pokemon, but Thunder Wave (an Electric move) cannot hit a Ground Pokemon.

Unique Attacks

There are very few unique attacks where Types follow the rules of Immunity (Ground can't hit Flying); however, the Type will not cause any more or less damage than usual (Super Effect / Not Very Effective). Examples are Dragon Rage, Night Shade, and Seismic Toss. Dragon Rage will always take away 40 HP, no matter what. Night Shade and Seismic Toss will take away HP that is equal to the level of the Pokemon using it.

Type Advantage

Pokemon Types - or Elements - are usually the most obvious choice when choosing Attacks in battle. Elements can easily increase or decrease the power of an attack while in battle. Certain types are stronger, weaker, or even completely immune to other types. Make note, Types should not be the only thing you look at when choosing attacks. Remember to look at a Pokemon's Stats when choosing the right move. For more information on Types, check out the Types page.

STAB

Another semi-known fact is STAB, short for Same Type Attack Boost. When a Pokemon of a certain

Type uses an attack of the same Type, it will increase the damage of the attack by 50%. For example, if an Electric Pokemon uses an Electric Attack, that move will now be boosted because it has a "Same Type Attack Boost.”

Attack Conditions

Certain attacks may have certain common conditions to them. See more at the following pages:

Critical HitsFlinchOHKORecoilTrapped

Critical Hits

Critical Hits can happen to any Pokemon Attack that causes damage. Every now and then your attack may cause a little more damage than normal. The game will tell you it was a “Critical Hit.” This means an attack does 100% (2x) extra damage after calculating the Elemental weakness.

Most attacks have a 6.25% chance of becoming a Critical Hit. Other variables can increase your chance all the way up to 50%! These variables can include specific attacks that raise critical hit ratios like Focus Energy, hold items like Scope Lens, items like Dire Hit, and certain attacks that already have higher critical hit ratios like Slash.


1st 6.25% 1.625x

2nd 12.5% 1.125x

3rd 25% 1.25x

4th 33% 1.3x

5th 50% 1.5x

Flinch

Some attacks will cause a Pokemon to Flinch. All Flinching does is make the Pokemon skip a turn, which can be annoying at times. This can even cause attacks that hit multiple times throughout multiple turns to completely stop. An example of a move that hits multiple times through multiple turns is Uproar and Outrage.

OHKO

In addition to all other Attacks, you can also come across instant kill attacks. Instant Kill attacks, or One Hit Knock Out attacks, are a bit rare these days, but they do still exist. These moves have terrible accuracy and low PP, but will instantly kill almost any Pokemon if it lands. Certain Abilities like Sturdy will prevent any move from instantly killing that Pokemon.

Moves That OHKO

FissureGuillotineHorn DrillSheer Cold

Recoil

Recoil is the damage a Pokemon receives in return after using certain attacks. If a Pokemon uses Take Down, they will cause damage to the target and to themselves. The damage to themselves (Recoil) can cause 25-50% of the damage inflicted on the target, depending on the attack.

The Ability Rock Head prevents all damage from Recoil, with an exception from the move Struggle.

Attack Recoil % Recoil Fraction

Brave Bird 33% 1/3

Double-Edge 33% 1/3

Flare Blitz 33% 1/3

Head Charge 25% 1/4

Head Smash 50% 1/2

Struggle 25% 1/4

Submission 25% 1/4

Take Down 25% 1/4

Volt Tackle 33% 1/3

Wild Charge 25% 1/4

Wood Hammer 33% 1/3

Trapped

Some Attacks or Abilities out there will Trap a Pokemon until the Pokemon who does the trapping is defeated or switched out. Trapping prevents a Pokemon from swtching in trainer battles or running away in random battles. Other conditions may apply in the trapping (i.e. Magnet Pull only traps Steel types). These moves and abilities include:

MovesBlockMean LookSpider Web

AbilitiesArena TrapMagnet PullShadow Tag

In addition to these fully trapping abilities, there are moves that can trap Pokemon for a set amount of turns. These are Multiturn Attacks.

Multiturn Attacks

There are some Attacks that will Trap a Pokemon for four to five turns instead of forever. Once the move is over, they will be freed. Moves that can partially trap a Pokemon include:

BindClampFire SpinMagma StormSand TombWhirlpoolWrap

Beneficial Items

If the user is holding a Grip Claw, Multiturn Attacks will always last for five turns.

If the user is holding a Binding Band, the damage of Multiturn Attacks will increase from 1/16th to 1/8th of the target's Max HP.

Escape

Pokemon who are trapped can escape under certain conditions. These conditions include:

The trapped Pokemon is holding a Smoke Ball in random battles.The trapped Pokemon knows the Run Away Ability in a random battle.

The trapped Pokemon is holding a Shed Shell.The trapped Pokemon uses the move Baton Pass.The trapped Pokemon uses the move Rapid Spin. Only works on Multiturn Attacks.The trapped Pokemon uses the move U-Turn.The trapped Pokemon uses the move Volt SwitchThe trapped Pokemon is hit by the move Circle Throw.The trapped Pokemon is hit by the move Dragon Tail.The trapped Pokemon is hit by the move Roar.The trapped Pokemon is hit by the move Whirlwind.

Types

In every Pokemon game you'll find different elemental types on each Pokemon. In recent games you'll see there are 17 different elements that each Pokemon can have.

Elements play a role in both a Pokemon's defense and offense. Each Pokemon is made up of one or two different types. At the same time, each move a Pokemon can learn causes one type of elemental damage.

It's Super Effective

Some types are strong against others and cause twice (2x) the damage compared to neutral types. For example: an electric type move on a normal type pokemon does neutral damage (1x), but an electric type move on a water type pokemon does twice (2x) the damage. The game will tell you when one type is stronger than another by saying "It's Super Effective" when the move is used.

It's Not Very Effective

Some types are weak against others and cause half (.5x) damage compared to neutral types. For example: a fighting type move attacking a bug type pokemon will do only half the damage. The game will tell you when one type is weaker than another by saying "It's Not Very Effective" when the move is used.

Immune

Lastly there are some types that won't even hit another type. For example: normal and fighting types won't touch ghost types, ground types won't touch flying types, and ghost types won't touch normal types. These types are immune to other types. The game will tell you "It Doesn't Affect" if you come across an Immune type.

Mixing and Matching

When it comes to Pokemon of two types, you may cause 4x damage, .25x damage, or just break even. Examples:

Electric type attacks on a water/flying type pokemon mix for 4x damage. This is because electric types are strong against both water and flying types.Fighting type attacks on a flying/poison type pokemon mix for .25x damage. This is because fighting types are weak against both flying and poison types.Poison type attacks on a grass/poison type pokemon mix for a neutral attack. This is because Poison types are strong against grass and weak against other poison types.

Status Attacks

Make note, Elements may not play a role when using these types of Attacks. Sand-Attack (a Ground move) can hit a Flying Pokemon, but Thunder Wave (an Electric move) cannot hit a Ground Pokemon.

Type Chart

The left side of the chart is offense. The top of the chart is defense.

Multiple Types

Most pokemon are 2 types, which can make it harder to find wether its super effective or not. An example of this is Kyurem. Because Kyurem is a Dragon-Ice type, Ice type moves deal normal damage. There is an easy way to figure out any pokemon's weakness and resistances. Think of it as a maths, starting with 0, add 1 for weakness, take away 1 for resistance, and dont change it for

nuetral. An example of this is Genesect versus Terrakion. The result of the maths would mean that Terrakion would win using both Rock and Fighting type moves (Genesect -1 Terrakion 0).

Status Effects

Attacking and Healing aren't the only features in Pokemon Battles. If it were, it may make for a boring fight. In addition to regular attacks, there are Status Effects. There are various different Status Problems your Pokemon can become afflicted with. Some may last a few turns, while others can last until you heal them yourself. Then there are some Status Ailments that will be healed if you switch out the Pokemon.

Some Attacks cause Status Effects while others cause damage and might cause certain Status Problems.

Type A and Type B can be cured by Full Heals, Full Restores, Lum Berries, Lava Cookies, Old Gateau, Heal Powder, and Casteliacones.

In the game, all Status Effects are simply called Status Effects or Status Problems. They have been ranked below from toughest to simplest.

Type A

The first type of Status Effects are the toughest types. These types will not go away unless they are cured with an item or at a Pokemon Center. None can stack up with each other. If a Pokemon is Paralyzed, they cannot be put to burned as well. However, is a Pokemon knows Rest, the Status Effect will be "healed" and replaced with Sleep.

Burn (BRN)

Burn is a Status Effect that reduces a Pokemon's Max HP by 1/8th(12.5%) each turn. In addition to the HP loss, your Pokemon's attack stat will be cut in half. All physical attacks you do will now cause 50% as much damage as it used to. This Status Effect must be cured manually.

Freeze (FRZ)

Freeze (Frozen) is a rare, but effective, Status Effect. A Pokemon that is afflicted by the Freeze Status Effect cannot move until it becomes unfrozen. Each turn is has a small chance of unfreezing, or a Pokemon can be thawed out if a Fire Type attack is used on the Frozen Pokemon. If a Pokemon isn't thawed out by the end of the match, you must cure the status yourself.

Paralysis (PAR)

Paralysis is a common Status Effect. A Pokemon that is afflicted by Paralysis will have their speed reduced by 25%. In addition to the speed loss, the Pokemon may not be able to attack 25% of the time.

Poison (PSN)

There are two types of Poison Status Effects, Poisoned and Badly Poisoned.

When a Pokemon is Poisoned, each turn it makes, it loses 1/8th (12.5%) of its Max HP.

When a Pokemon is Badly Poisoned, each turn it makes, it loses 1/16th (6.25%) of its Max HP and adds another 1/16th (6.25%) each turn. The first turn you lose 6.25% of your Max HP, the next turn you lose 12.5%, and the next turn you lose 18.75%, etc until your Pokemon faints.

Unlike past games, Poison does not sap your Pokemon's HP each step you take outside of battle.

Sleep (SLP)

Sleep is another common Status Effect. A Pokemon afflicted with the Sleep Status Effect cannot attack for one to seven turns, unless the Pokemon has one of the special moves Sleep Talk and Snore. Other Pokemon will also have the ability to use the moves Nightmare and Dream Eater on a sleeping Pokemon to cause damage.

If a Pokemon is still Sleeping after the battle, you must cure the Pokemon manually.

Type B

The second type of Status Effects are a little easier to deal with. Unlike the first type, these types can be cured simply by switched in battle, or they will be cured after the battle. However, they can be a bit more difficult since they will stack with each other or with Type A Status Effects. It's possible for a Pokemon to become Confused and Paralyzed at the same time.

Confusion (Confused)

Confusion is a common status effect. While a Pokemon is confused, they will physically attack themselves half the time instead of using their original attack. The damage done depends on the user's Attack and Defense Stats. This Status Effect last one to four turns or will stop when the Pokemon is switched out.

Infatuation (Love)

Infatuation is a tricky and effective Status Effect. Both Pokemon in battle must have a gender. The genders have to be opposite because there are no homosexual Pokemon. When one Pokemon uses the attack Attract, or has the Cute Charm ability, it causes the Infatuation Status Effect on the other. The Pokemon afflicted with this Status Effect cannot use Attacks 50% of the time. This Status Problem will be removed when the Pokemon is switched out.

Type C

Other types of effects are only called Status Effects by some. They're mainly certain moves over actual Status Effects, with the exception of Flinch and Trapped. Like Type B effects, Type C can stack with all other effects.

The first turn you lose 6.25% of your Max HP, the next turn you lose 12.5%, and the next turn you lose 18.75%, etc until your Pokemon faints.

Weather

Status Effects aren't the only thing you need to pay attention to when in a Pokemon Battle. Weathercan play a major role on the field by affecting a Pokemon's Attacks, Abilities, and Health.

Most of the time Pokemon moves or abilities will change the Weather on the field. Each Pokemon Attack that changes the Weather will last five turns; while each Pokemon Abilities that changes the Weather will last the entire battle unless changed.

A few hold items can extend the length of the Weather in battle. These are Damp Rock, Heat Rock, Icy Rock, and Smooth Rock to extend Rain, Sunshine, Hail, and Sandstorms respectively three more turns.

The majority of the time, if not all the time in some Pokemon games, there will be no specific Weather in a game's map. Sometimes, however, you may find specific Weather patterns somewhere in the game world. When you start a battle, the same Weather will be reflected on the field and last the entire match. It will affect the entire battle in a Good/Bad way depending on what the type of your Pokemon is.

Trading

Trading Pokemon is one of the oldest and greatest feature in Pokemon history! Why else do you think there are always at least two versions in every generation of Pokemon? Certain Pokemon may only appear on one version or another. Trade Pokemon through the versions to fill up your Pokedex, receive unique items from other people, or to get your hands on an awesome type of Pokemon.

Any Pokemon can be traded between certain games. Even Pokemon Eggs can be traded through a "Spin Trade."

Trading Between Generations

For those that don't know, Pokemon are split up into "Generations." There are currently five generations of Pokemon. They are:

Generation 1: Pokemon Red, Blue, and YellowGeneration 2: Pokemon Gold, Silver, and CrystalGeneration 3: Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, and Leaf GreenGeneration 4: Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, and Soul SilverGeneration 5: Pokemon Black (2) and White (2)

In Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, you will only be able to trade Pokemon between Generation Five games. However, the Pokemon Black and White series has a building called the Poke Transfer Lab that allows you to transfer Pokemon from Generation 4 to Generation 5. Although, this trade is more like a one-way transfer from Gen 4 to Gen 5 only.

How to Trade

There are two ways to trade when using a DS. Both methods require you to talk to the trade counters on the second floor of a Pokemon Center.

Wi-Fi

The first method is through Wi-Fi. When using Wi-Fi, you can only use WEP encryption, or use a signal without any encryption on it. There are many free Wi-Fi spots in most cities already, so feel free to use those if you don't have a wireless device with WEP encryption at home.

Before initiating the trade, write down the other person's Friend Code into your Pal Pad. The Pal Pad is a Key Item that is obtained at the beginning of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. Each Pokemon game will have its own Friend Code. Make note: the Friend Code will change if you connect to Wi-Fi on a different DS. Don't forget to tell the person you are connecting with your Friend Code as well. After you are both registered, use the second (middle) counter to trade over Wi-Fi.

Wireless

The second method to trade is to enter a Union Room. This allows your DS to use a wireless signal of its own to trade with people right next to you. Those people need to be in the same room as you for it to work!

Traded Pokemon

You can choose ANY Pokemon to make in a trade. They can also hold any item you want them to hold if it gives the option to be held (No TMs, HMs, or Key Items), which is a great way to transfer items between games.

Once the Pokemon are transferred, their nicknames, Original Trainer Name, and Original Trainer Number will never change. Traded Pokemon will also gain extra experience in each battle, allowing them to grow faster than normal Pokemon.

If you don't have the right badge, the Pokemon will start disobeying you. For example, if you don't have the second Gym Badge (Toxic Badge), traded Pokemon will start disobeying at around Level 10. They may use different moves, use no moves, or even fall asleep! The Toxic Badge will then allow Pokemon up to Level 30 to obey. Of course, non-traded Pokemon may disobey as well if they have too high of a level. After obtaining all eight badges, all Pokemon at all levels will obey.

In-Game Trades

Several Pokemon can be traded within the game without the need for a real person. Trade a certain species to certain characters to get a specific Pokemon in return. The Pokemon you receive will always have the same nature, stats, level, hold item, etc.

Route 4 (Black 2)

A man in one of the buildings on the East side of Route 4 will trade his Petilil for your Cottonee.

Breeding

Pokemon Breeding can be a difficult thing to wrap your head around at first. Once you get the hang of it, you can breed for fun or to get a great Pokemon with top notch stats and unique moves.

Breeding Pokemon

In order to breed Pokemon, you must put two correctly matched Pokemon in the Day Care. The Day Care is located on Route 3, which means you won't be able to breed in Black 2 and White 2 until after the Pokemon League.

While your Pokemon are at the Day Care, they will level up and may learn new moves, but they will never evolve. If the Pokemon match up, the male day care owner will tell you they enjoy being together. After that, you must wait until they make an egg. Waiting for the time to pass by will not help create an egg. The game requires you to move around to pass the time. The more steps, the better. Using the Round Charm will speed up the chances of getting an egg from the Day Care man. If you have nothing else to do in the game, ride your bike back and forth along Route 3. Eventually, the Day Care man will stop you and tell you about the egg he found.

The majority of Legendary Pokemon cannot breed because they're genderless, but some genderless Pokemon can breed with a Ditto. Ditto is usually the go to Pokemon for many Breeders who want an Egg with little effort. If you don't want to use a Ditto for specific reasons, you'll have to find two Pokemon that fit in the same Egg Groups.

Egg Groups

There are 14 Egg Groups that a Pokemon can fall into, 15 if you include Ditto into his own group. A stated earlier, Ditto can breed with almost any Pokemon, and only Ditto can breed with certain genderless or Legendary Pokemon. The 14 Egg Groups are:

AmorphousBugDragonFairyFieldFlyingGrassHuman-LikeMineralMonsterUndiscoveredWater 1Water 2Water 3

Most Pokemon in each egg group look somewhat similar in style such as Charizard and Dragonite, but there are some weirder matches like Skitty and Wailord. After you get a matched pair, you may have to wait for them to make an egg. Sometimes it's quick and sometimes it'll take quite some time. Traded Pokemon take longer to breed than Pokemon you caught yourself. You can find out how long it'll take by asking the Day Care man. He'll usually say stuff that hints to the time frame for an egg. If he says "They prefer to play with other Pokemon," it means you'll never get an egg from them. The more playful they are, the quicker they will make an egg.

What's in the Egg?

If you're not breeding two of the same Pokemon -- like two Samurott -- and instead are breeding two different Pokemon that are in the same egg group, the female of the two Pokemon will be the Pokemon that hatches from the egg. However, for obvious reasons, it will not be the highest evolutionary form. For example: if you're breeding a female Charizard and a male Dragonite, you'll wind up with a Charmander.

There are few Pokemon that can only be male or female, such as the two Nidorans or Chansey. In this case, you will have a 50/50 chance that it will be the male or female version of that Pokemon.

Some Pokemon can only be found through breeding. These Pokemon are usually known as Baby Pokemon in the Pokemon World. To get one, the parent may need to hold a Breeding Item while in the Day Care, but not all Baby Pokemon need a special item to be created.

Passing Down Natures

If you like the Nature of one of the parent Pokemon, you can let that Pokemon hold an Everstone to pass it down to the child.

Passing Down Abilities

The Abilities of a newly hatched Pokemon are usually 50/50, if the Pokemon can have two Abilities that is.

If the mother has a Rare Ability from the Pokemon Dream World, Hidden Grottoes, or some other area, it will have a 80% chance of being passed down. Unfortunately, the Rare Abilities of Male and Genderless Pokemon cannot be passed down.

If the Mother has one of two Abilities, there will be an 80% chance the child will know that same Ability.

Passing Down IVs

Three Individual Values will be passed on from the parent Pokemon to the baby. These three IVs will be selected randomly from the either the male, the female, or both.

If you like a particular Stat's Individual Value, you can attach a Power Weight, Power Bracer, Power Belt, Power Lens, Power Band, or Power Anklet to either parent to pass down the HP, Attack,

Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, or Speed Individual Value on to the hatched Pokemon. If you let both Parents hold one of these items, only one of the IVs will be sent down, and the other two Stats will have random IVs.

Breeding Attacks / Egg Moves

Once a Pokemon hatches, it will be at level 1 and may know certain moves that it normally doesn't learn at such as low level. There are three types of Attacks that can be taught through breeding:

1. A Pokemon can learn an attack from a TM or HM if the father has one in their move set. This only works if the baby Pokemon would normally be able to learn that move.

2. A Pokemon can learn an attack that is normally learned at later levels if both of the parents already have it in their move sets. There are some instances where this will not work.

3. A Pokemon can learn an attack that is normally learned at later levels through specific breeding. A well known example is a male Dragonite with the attack Outrage breeding with a female Charizard to make a baby Charmander that knows Outrage.

Keep in mind, Pokemon will level up while in the Day Care. It is possible they will learn a new move and forget one of the older four. The move at the top will be the first to be replaced, while the move at the bottom will be the last.

CHAIN BREEDING

We'll start with something somewhat complicated: Chain Breeding. Chain Breeding is the act of breeding Pokemon A to get an egg move onto Pokemon B, than breeding Pokemon B with Pokemon C to get the desired egg move. The reason you do this is because Pokemon A cannot breed with Pokemon C, but Pokemon C wants an egg move Pokemon A has. You can also use this to get two different egg moves onto Pokemon C. Confused? Let's look at an example:

Say you wanted a Skitty with both Wish and Fake Tears. These moves are both egg moves. Now, no Pokemon learns both these moves and is in Skitty's egg group: so you have to chain breed. Here's what you do:

First, get a male Togetic that knows Wish (learned at level 29).Breed it with a female Plusle and produce a male Plusle with Wish as an egg move.

Now, level up that male Plusle to level 21 to learn Fake Tears. Be sure not to delete Wish for another move along the way, or else you'll have to go back to the beginning. (Also, it is recommended you keep the move you want to pass down at the bottom of your Pokemon's move roster, because the top-most moves are the ones that are forgotten if the Pokemon learns a new move while in the Day-Care.) Breed the male Plusle and a female Skitty to produce a Skitty with Fake Tears and Wish.

Do you see how the Skitty got the two moves from both Togetic and Plusle? Pokemon that have two different egg groups are really good for this, as they can breed with many more Pokemon. Now let's look at another example.

Let's say that you wanted Charmander to learn Beat Up (Beat Up is an egg move). Now, no Pokemon

both learn Beat Up and is in Charmander's egg group, so you're forced to chain breed.

This time, you just simply need a connection Pokemon that's in both egg groups (in this case, Charmander's egg group and Houndoom's egg group). You would use this when you have a Pokemon that you want to learn an egg move, but no one learns it in that Pokemon's egg group (like our bully that is a Charmander). So, you get that Pokemon in both egg groups and connect the two Pokemon. For example, here you would do this:

Breed a male Houndoom with Beat Up (learned at level 26) with a female Arbok until you get a male Ekans with Beat Up.Breed that male Ekans with Beat Up with a female Charmander.

And there you have it. A Charmander with Beat Up. Not overly difficult. Did you see how the Arbok really didn't contribute to the Charmander's movepool, but had to be in this chain anyways? Of course, as you want more than one egg move, these chains become extremely long. Just be careful and know what you're doing, and it shouldn't be extremely hard.

There's one more part of Chain Breeding: illegal move combinations. These are simply when a Pokemon can't learn two of it's two of it's egg moves. For example, Charmander can't learn AncientPower and Beat Up together, because no Pokemon learns these two moves, and there's no Pokemon that can connect these two moves together like Arbok did just now.

It's worth noting that all this chain breeding isn't needed in the Field egg group, where Smeargle is, simply because Smeargle can learn any move (through it's signature move Sketch). So that also means that there's no such thing as an illegal move combination in the Field egg group.

Hatching an Egg

Hatching an egg can take a really long time depending on the Pokemon that's inside. Actually, it doesn't depend on time, but the amount of steps you take. It could take between 1,000-10,000 steps to hatch an egg. If you have a Pokemon with the Magma Armor or Flame Body Abilities in your party, the amount of steps will be cut in half. You can ride your bicycle in a circle or up and down the same route until the egg hatches, or just take it with you on your adventure. Check the egg's status screen to get hints as to how long it'll take to hatch.

Friendship

Friendship is a unique attribute in the Pokemon World. It cannot be measured by any number on the Pokemon's Stat pages, but it can be measured by select NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) in the Pokemon World. Select NPCs will give you special items if the first Pokemon in your party likes you enough.

All Pokemon will have zero Friendship towards you when first captured, unless you use a Friend Ball to capture them. Friendship slowly builds up over time. Other things will help to build up a friendship.

DosUse the Pokemon in battleUse various items on the PokemonAllow the Pokemon to hold the item Soothe Bell

Do NotsDo not allow the Pokemon to faint in battleDo not use bitter items on the PokemonDo not keep the Pokemon stored in the PCDo not trade the Pokemon

Other than select items from NPCs, Friendship is used for two things: Select moves and Evolution. Certain Pokemon can only evolve if they are friendly enough to you. Sometimes Friendship is needed along with an item, select time, or select location to evolve. The select moves that require levels of friendship are Frustration and Return.

You can find put the Friendship of any of your party Pokemon by calling Bianca on the Xtransceiver.

Hidden Grottoes

Hidden Grottoes are new areas featured in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 that offer a place to battle and capture rare Pokemon.

Where to Find

To find these areas, look for two trees connected to each other at the trunks. These trees will be connected in a way unlike all other trees in the surrounding area. Examine the trees to enter the hidden hole. You can find Hidden Grottoes at (sorted based on when you will find each location):

Sangi RanchRoute 5Lostlorn ForestRoute 6 (2 Locations)Route 7Route 13 (2 Locations)Route 9Route 22Giant ChasmRoute 23Abundant Shrine (2 Locations)Pinwheel Forest (2 Locations)Route 3 (2 Locations)Route 2Route 18

Inside the Grotto

Inside each Hidden Grotto can be a rare item (visible or hidden) or a rare Pokemon. The Pokemon species may or may not be rare, but it will certainly have their rare Ability which is usually found in the Dream World. Save before interacting with the standing Pokemon to ensure you catch it.

After awhile of in game time, the contents of the Hidden Grotto may reset, it all depends on the amount of steps you take. Investigate each hole to find something new!

The following are obtainable Pokemon by location. Eevee can be found in all of them:

Outbreaks

Outbreaks are a returning feature in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 which allow you to catch rare Pokemon in select areas each day. However, outbreaks are only activated after defeating the Pokemon League and receiving the National Dex.

Every day at midnight, several routes or locations will be randomly selected for an outbreak. Check the electronic bulletin boards in between each route (Route Houses) to see which areas currently have an outbreak, and which Pokemon can be found.

Forms

Not all Pokemon look exactly the same. Some Pokemon may have different forms (appearance) for different reasons.

The most common form change is between Male and Female Pokemon. Not all the time, but sometimes there may be a slight alteration between the forms of the different gendered Pokemon. Basculin also have two Forms (Red-Striped and Blue-Striped) that may determine the Pokemon's Ability.

Other Pokemon may have very changeable forms that are only triggered through events. An example in Black 2 and White 2 is taking the Legendary Pokemon Keldeo to the forest in the back of Floccesy Town to change forms. Another example can be found by taking Meloetta to a cafe in Castelia City. Both instances will teach your Pokemon a new Move while changing its form.

Some Pokemon form changes will not only alter the Pokemon's looks, but all the Stats may be altered as well. A perfect example is Darmanitan with the Zen Mode Ability. Once it's HP is reduced below 50%, its stats will drastically change. Not only that, but it will gain the Psychic Type. Another Pokemon that will change Types with forms is Rotom.

Form Changing Pokemon

The following are Pokemon that can change forms at will in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. Make note, the images below do not include the altered forms.

Kyurem

The first obvious new forms are Kyurem's Black and White forms. To change forms, use the DNA Splicer to merge Kyurem with either Zekrom or Reshiram. Both must be in your party at the same time. Kyurem's Type and Nature will remain the same, but it will gain a new move set, the Stats and the Ability of the other legend.

Tornadus, Thundurus & Landorus

Three new forms for the legendary Flying Pokemon Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus are also available. When captured in Pokemon Dream Radar, they will automatically have new forms and Abilities. The Therian Forms can be changed back to Incarnate Forms at Abundant Shrine when the

Reveal Glass is used.

Keldeo

The Event Legendary Pokemon Keldeo also has a new form. Take Keldeo to the small area in the back of Floccesy Town to teach it Secret Sword. Investigating the broken mountain will allow it to learn this new move. Learning Secret Sword will automatically change Keldeo to its Resolute form. If Keldeo forgets this move, its form will revert back to the original.

Make note: Keldeo cannot be traded once he switches to Resolute form. He must forget the move Secret Sword to revert back to regular form before being traded!

Meloetta

Just like in the first Black and White, if you have the Event Legendary Pokemon Meloetta, take it to Cafe Sonata in Castelia City. There it can learn Relic Song, which will change its Form from Pirouette to Aria. Meloetta's Aria form will change its appearance, Type to Normal / Fighting, and Stats, but only when the move is used in battle.

Rotom

Rotom is available through an In-Game Trade in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. If you'd like to switch it to one of six different forms, take it to the storage room in Shopping Mall Nine. There you will find boxes of old appliances. Investigate the appliances with Rotom in your party to change its Form, Type, and Stats.

Shaymin

Another Event Legendary Pokemon, Shaymin, can easily change its form in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. To do so, talk to a lady in the Pokemon Center in Striaton City. She will give you the Gracidea Key Item that will change Shaymin's Form. Shaymin's Sky Form will change its appearance, Type, Ability, and Stats between 5 AM and 8 PM each day.

Giratina

The Legendary Pokemon from the fourth generation, Giratina, can easily change its form in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. To do so, allow it to hold the legendary item called Griseous Orb. This item can easily be found in Dragonspiral Tower. Giratina's Origin Form will change its appearance, Ability, and Stats.

Deoxys

Another Event Legendary Pokemon, Deoxys, can easily change forms in Black 2 and White 2. To do so, investigate the meteorite in the Museum / Gym in Nacrene City. It will allow you to choose one of three other forms. The forms will change the appearance and Stats of Deoxys based on the name: Attack, Defense, and Speed Forms.

Walkthrough

This walkthrough was made with the Japanese version of Pokemon Black 2 and the English version of White 2.

The guide will help you obtain all eight GYM Badges, face the Pokemon League, and complete any remaining quests after the credits.

Aspertia City (Japanese Name: Hiougi City ????) is the first city you start in. It can be found in the South West area of Unova. Route 19 is North of the City.

Start

The game starts out in Aspertia City. Choose the gender and name of your character, then name your Rival. Since any name can be applied, we will use "Rival" in this Walkthrough.

Get Your Starter Pokémon

You will start out in your home in the South Eastern part of town. Exit out of your house to meet up with your Rival. You can enter all the buildings here except for the Pokémon Center and the GYM.

Head to the town overlook at the North Eastern part of the city. At the top is Professor Juniper's assistant, Bianca. She will have three Pokémon. You may want to save before talking to her if you want to get the right Nature or a starter with decent Individual Values, if that's your thing. If you can't decide on which Pokémon to get, view the Choosing a Starter Pokemon page to make the decision a bit easier.

Choose a Pokémon and -- if you want -- give it a Nickname. Directly after that, Bianca will give you your Pokedex! It's a device used to record how many Pokémon you've seen and captured. It will also

tell you where Pokémon live, but only if you have already seen that particular Pokémon.

After getting your starter, your Rival will battle you with a Pokémon he raised from an Egg. This Pokémon will have a Type that has an advatage over yours. Choose Snivy, he'll have Tepig. Choose Tepig, he'll have Oshawott. Choose Oshawott, he'll have Snivy. Now it's time for your first Pokémon battle, starters vs starters.

Rival Battle

This battle will be simple. All starters know two moves - a damaging move and a stat reducing move. No potions or items will be available, so fight wisely. Win the battle to reach Level 6 with your Pokemon and earn $500.

After the battle, Bianca will show you a few need to know things. She will lead you to the Pokémon Center and tell you all about healing your Pokémon, buying items, and using the PC. Buy a Potion or two if you like. Bianca will give you 10 Poké Balls after the brief tutorial!

Before leaving the Pokémon Center you can talk to the people around the Center. Talk to the girl near the waiting area to find out what your Pokémon's Nature is.

MemoryTalk to the person in the red bandanna to see a Memory of N at Chargestone Cave.

Exit out of the center for more free items. Your mother and your rival's sister will walk up to you and give you the Town Map and Running Shoes!

When you're all ready to go, head North to Route 19.

Return After Learning Surf

After learning Surf, return to the pond near your house. Surf across the pond to find TM53 - Energy Ball.

Return After Pokemon League

After defeating the Pokemon League, the credits will roll. Start up the game again to find yourself in Aspertia City. Your Pokedex will be upgraded to the National Dex by Cedric Juniper, and you will receive a Max Revive from your mother.

Route 19 is a Route found in the South West area of Unova. The Western path connects with Aspertia City, and the Eastern path connects with Floccesy Town.

First Visit

When you enter the tunnel that connects Aspertia City to Route 19, the lady at the desk will stop you. Don't worry, you're not in trouble. She'll give you a Potion!

Exit out to Route 19 to find Bianca again. This time she'll teach you how to capture a Pokemon. It's very simple. After the tutorial, you're free to go. Battle the Pokemon in the tall grass to make your starter stronger, or capture any of the Pokemon here.

There are no trainers in this area, but there will be a Potion at the North Eastern part of this route. Find it in the tall grass next to the man who will show you how to jump over small ledges. There is more to the route, but you won't be able to access it until you know Surf.

Continue East until you find Alder, the man who was the Pokemon League Champion in Black and White. He'll talk to you a bit before you head into Floccesy Town.

Return Later

After learning Surf return to Route 19 to grab a few items. A Water Stone is in the North West, a Nest Ball is in the North East, and a hidden Expert Belt is where Alder was standing.

Floccesy Town is the second town you'll visit. It is located in the South West area of Unova. The South Western path connects with Route 19. The North Eastern path connects with Route 20.

First Visit

Enter the town to find Alder again. He'll talk to you a bit and wait at the North part of town. Heal your Pokemon at the Pokemon Center and buy any items if needed.

Visit the house to the right of the Pokemon Center to find three people inside. Talk to the man on the right to obtain a Potion.

Head North to Alder. You can talk to the people in town, but it's not necessary. Alder will block the path to his house at the North West part of town. He wants you to give your Rival the Town Map, first.

WARNING: Your Rival will battle you at the Ranch and there are Trainers on the way there, so be prepared!

Return from the Ranch (Alder's House)

After dealing with Floccesy Ranch, return to Floccesy Town. The path to Alder's House will now be open in the North West. Enter the house and battle two trainers.

After the trainers, exit the house to receive the Medal Box from a man.

Pledge Grove

The path further North takes you to an isolated area near Floccesy Town called Pledge Grove. If you happen to have a Keldeo, interact with the big mountain in the back. This is where you can teach it the special move Secret Sword.

After Obtaining the Basic Badge

Near Alder's place, Bianca will stop you and give your Pokedex an upgrade with the "Habitat List." This allows you to see all the Pokemon in the area, if you've already seen them, of course.

Route 20 is a big route located in the South West area of Unova. The South West path connects with Floccesy Town. The North West path connects with Floccesy Ranch. The Eastern path connects with Virbank City.

First Visit

At this point, Route 20 is a very small, sideways horseshoe-shaped route. The Eastern part of the Route will be blocked off by a Hiker until you get the first GYM Badge. There are a few decent Wild Pokemon on Route 20.

The path you need to take is East across the bridge, North in the grass, and West across another bridge. From there, head North to Floccesy Ranch, or jump the ledges South to quickly return to Floccesy Town.

Before crossing the bridge, a trainer will challenge you to a Pokemon Battle. It's a very simple fight.

A Poke Ballis to the right of the two ledges that allow you to return to the city. The far North West path leads to a seemingly dead end. Investigate the end to find a Potion.

Next, head to Floccesy Ranch.

Return after Basic Badge

After obtaining the Basic Badge, return to Route 20 to continue your journey.

The Hiker that blocked off the East side of the route will now let you pass, if you beat him in a Pokemon Battle, that is!

There are new Pokemon here who are a few levels higher than the Pokemon in the grass to the

West. Cheren will give you three Pecha Berries and be on his way. Grab the Great Ball from the grass and either continue on, or capture some more Pokemon here.

Floccesy Ranch is a large farm area. The front area is small enough, but the forested area in the back is like a small maze. The only path that connects to Floccesy Ranch is the Southern path, which connects with Route 20.

First Visit

There is a bit of tall grass directly to the left. There are some great Pokemon here. Riolu may be the best, especially for the upcoming GYM Battle. Enter the gated area to find your Rival. He will challenge you to another Pokemon Battle.

Rival Battle

Your Rival's starter Pokemon has grown a few levels since you first fought, but if you trained at all or caught any new Pokemon on Route 20, it shouldn't be very difficult. He will use which ever starter he chose, but this time it will be at Level 8. Defeat him to earn $800!

Before entering the forested area, search around the Western side of the ranch for any items. A Poke Ball can be found in some tall grass in the middle area. To the left of that item is a trainer.

To find the stolen Pokemon, you'll need to head as far East as you can, then South until you see the Pokemon. A Potion can be found on your way to the Pokemon. Talk to the thief to recover the Pokemon and TM21 - Frustration. The owner will come and pick up the Pokemon.

Now that the job is done, you can head back to Floccesy Town and talk to Alder. You can also level up your Pokemon or grab some new ones before moving on.

Return Later

After learning Surf, you can return later to find a Hidden Grotto. It's located across the river at the furthest North East corner. You'll have to go through the forested area to find the river to cross.

Alder's House

Alder's House is the small shack in the North West area of Floccesy Town. It will be blocked off until you visit Floccesy Ranch.

After you dealt with Team Plasma at Floccesy Ranch, Alder will clear the path to his house. To the left of the building is an X-Speed. Enter the building for two quick Pokemon Battle.

Depending on your Starter Pokemon, the two trainers will have Pokemon based around your type advantage and disadvantage. The first battle will have the Pokemon you are strong against, the second battle will have the Pokemon you are weak against.

Another path can be found on the right side of the building. It leads to a small area in the back of town. There's nothing to do here for now.

Next, return to Aspertia City. On the way to Route 19, Alder will stop you and hand over Five Oran Berries. Allow your Pokemon to hold them for upcoming battles.

Return After Pokemon League (Alder's Place)

After beating the Pokemon League, return to Alder's House in the back of Floccesy Town. Talk to Alder and his accept his challenge to a full Pokemon Battle.

Alder will use an all out offensive attack. Do not send out Pokemon who are slower or weak against each Pokemon's attacks. Play smart! When two of his Pokemon become injured without fainting, he will use two Full Restores.

After you have defeated all ten areas of Black Skyscraper or White Tree Hollow, Alder's Grandson will return here. Talk to him to receive a Shiny Gible if you're playing Pokemon Black 2, or a Shiny Dratini if you're playing Pokemon White 2. Both Pokemon will be at Level 1 and holding an EXP. Share.

Aspertia City Gym

The Aspertia City Gym is located to the left of the Pokemon Center. The first room is more like a Pokemon School instead of a Gym. Talk to the two kids near the chalk board to receive a X Defend. Head through the back door to find the Pokemon GYM.

The Aspertia City GYM uses Normal type Pokemon. They are weak against Fighting Types, which is why capturing Riolu earlier would have been a great idea. Luckily, they have no Type advantages.

When you enter the GYM, the Gym Guide, Clyde, will give you a Fresh Water. This man can be found at every Gym in Unova. Talk to him to get a few tips to each Gym.

Only two trainers can be found in this Gym. Defeat these two trainers to earn the right to fight Cheren. Talk to each trainer to start the battle.

Gym Leader Cheren

Cheren will fight with the same two Normal Pokemon that were in the other two trainer's teams However Cheren's team is a bit stronger. If one gets weak, he may use a Potion to heal it.

The special technique of this Gym is Work Up. Work Up is a Status Move that increases the user's Attack and Special Attack Stat one level. Combine that with their two Physical Attacks, and it could spell trouble. Try to knock them out as quickly as possible. The longer the battle goes, the worse it will be for your team.

If you happen to have a Riolu, raise it to level 15 and teach it its first real Fighting Attack. The attack along with its level will be more than enough to take out both Pokemon. Riolu's other attack, Feint, will even hit Patrat if he tries to use Detect! Even without Riolu, the battle shouldn't be too difficult for Pokemon that are at the same level.

You can now trade and battle your Pokemon with other players who have Pokemon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2! Head to the Pokemon Center to do so. If you need help on that subject, see the Trading page.

Before heading back to Route 20, visit the second floor of the house North East of the Pokemon Center. Talk to the girl to receive an Ultra Ball.

Toxic Badge

The Toxic Badge is the second badge you'll obtain in Pokemon Black 2 White 2. The Gym Leader you must defeat to obtain the Toxic Badge is Roxie. The Toxic Badge allows Pokemon up to Level 30, even Pokemon you got in trades, to obey you without question.

Virbank City is a small city located in the South Western area of Unova. It's home to the second Pokemon GYM.

The city connects to four different areas: the Western path connects to Route 20, the Northern path connects to Pokestar Studios, the Southern path connects to Virbank Complex, and the docks to the South East connect to Castelia City.

First Visit

The second you step into the city, your mother will call on the Xtranceiver. After the call, walk towards the Pokemon Center to find the GYM Leader talking with a boat captain, who also happens to be her father.

Heal up and collect any medals you may have earned from the Pokemon Center. There are plenty of new items available for sale. You may want to stock up on a few Antidotes and Potions for the upcoming Gym Battle. If you want, talk to the girl in the waiting area to take a short personality test.

Now, go around town and explore.

In the house to the right of the Pokemon Center is a Poke Toy.A lady in the house to the South West will give you a Burn Heal for talking to her.An Antidote can be found in the trash can to the left of the previous house.A man in front of the Gym will give you a Poke Ball for talking to him.Behind the gym, take a walk on the ledge near the water until you come to a dam, use your Dowsing Machine to find a Pearl hidden on the floor.AFTER LEARNING SURF: There's some item to the North West of the town.

The path to the North is blocked until you defeat the GYM Leader. Either face the GYM now, or head South to Virbank Complex to train a bit more.

Return after Pokestar Studios

After helping out the people over at Pokestar Studios, head to the docks in the South East. Your Rival, Roxie, and Team Plasma will be waiting for you. Talk to them to start a one on one battle.

Virbank Complex is a small area in the South Western area of Unova. The entrance of the complex is in the same area as the Virbank City, and it's the only way in or out of the area.

The Pokemon seem to be the same in both areas, with the exception of Growlithe and Koffing who can only be found in the main area.

Entrance

Before going deeper into the complex, pick up the X-Accuracy from the tall grass to the left.

Next, head down the steps into the canal-like area to the right. The man here will exchange his Great Ball for your Poke Ball once a day, if you want. Walk along the path up and to the left until you reach the left side of the complex wall. Here you will find a Silk Scarf.

Now that you have all the available items, enter the main area of the complex.

The main area of the Complex seems pretty simple at first glace, but it's a bit more complex. There are a few beams stretching out from the left side to the right side. It's possible to walk across the beams to reach new areas, but it's extremely easy to fall off. Many trainers in this area won't battle until you talk to them. Let's take this area section by section, trainer by trainer.

Talk to the guy by the tree and he'll ask you to have Pokemon Battles with the three workers in the area.

Head South to find the first trainer in the middle of the road.

Find and talk to him near the wall on the left (West) side of the complex. Next, he'll move to the water front area to the South. Talk to him once more to receive an Ether.

After defeating all trainers, talk to the man near the tree at the entrance to receive TM94 - Rock Smash.

If you haven't faced the GYM Leader yet, go face her now.

Return After Obtaining The Toxic Badge and Cut

After obtaining the Toxic Badge and HM01 - Cut, return to the complex. Walk around the left wall near the big tree to find a small cut-able tree. Use cut to find a Super Potion.

Virbank City Gym

Virbank City Gym specialize in Poison Type Pokemon. The layout is very simple. There are only two trainers and the GYM Leader. All three of them are performing on stage in a band.

The Gym Guide, Clyde, at the door will stop you before entering. Like usual, he'll hand over a Fresh Water.

Talk to the Drummer and Guitarist to challenge them to a Pokemon Battle. After they're dealt with, take on the singer / Gym Leader.

Gym Leader Roxie

Roxie is a tough Poison trainer with one great Pokemon. Use the Pecha Berries you received earlier to cure your Pokemon of the Poison Status Effect. Allow some Pokemon to hold them to auto-cure. If you already used them, stock up on some Antidotes and Potions.

Koffing shouldn't pose much of a threat, but she may Poison your Pokemon if you don't take her out quickly enough. Her ability (Levitate) makes her immune to all Ground type attacks. A decent leveled Pokemon shouldn't have any trouble taking out Koffing.

Whirlipede is the troublesome Pokemon out of the two. If you chose Snivy as your starter, you may have a tough time here. Tepig should be able to burn through the bug half of the Pokemon, but the poison half is the tough part. If you use any physical attacks on Whirlipede, you will become Poisoned by its Poison Point ability. If any of your Pokemon become Poisoned, quickly heal it or they will take massive damage from Venoshock, a Special Poison Attack that causes more damage if the target is Poisoned. Be wary when switching Pokemon out as well. If you switch a Pokemon while Whirlipede uses Pursuit, it will cause a ton of damage before the Pokemon has the ability to switch out. Use Special Attacks as much as possible. Flying and Fire types will do well at this point against Whirlipede.

If one of Roxie's Pokemon is hurt bad enough, she will use a Super Potion to restore its health.

Defeat Roxie to earn $2160, The Toxic Badge, and TM09 - Venoshock. The Toxic Badge allows Pokemon up to Level 30, even Pokemon you got in trades, to obey you. It also allows you to use HM01 - Cut outside of battle.

After the battle, a man from the Gym will come up to you and tell you to head North to Pokestar Studios.

Insect Badge

The Insect Badge is the third badge you'll obtain in Pokemon Black 2 White 2. The Gym Leader you must defeat to obtain the Insect Badge is Burgh. The Insect Badge allows Pokemon up to Level 40, even Pokemon you got in trades, to obey you without question.

The journey to obtaining the Insect Badge takes you through:

Pokemon Battle Company (Optional)Game Freak Building (Optional)Royal Unova (Optional)

Pokestar Studios

Pokestar Studios (Japanese Name: Pokewood??????) is a new area in Pokemon Black 2 / White 2. It allows you to make movies with your own Pokemon or rented Pokemon in a studio. The created movie can then be watched at the theater. The audience in the theater will rate the movie based on the decisions you made in the scripted battle.

The entire area is basically a Studio on the left and a Theater on the right. The only path in or out of the area is the Southern path, which connects with Virbank City.

First Visit

After winning the Toxic Badge, the route house from the city will be opened to Pokewood. As you enter, the owner of the studios, Mr. Stu Deeoh (yet another unique name), will stop and talk to you.

The first stop is the movie theater. A movie will show how the villan has won instead of the hero. They need your help to fix it!

The second stop is the studio where the movies are made. Talk to the man in the green mo-cap suit if you want to know details about how the movies are made. Talk to the man near the door to shoot a film. Instead of using your own Pokemon, use the rented Pokemon for this movie.

Your pokemon will be a Level 13 Riolu. Your opponent is a Level 15 Pawniard. Use Force Palm to quickly take him out. The next Pokemon is Vullaby. Use Riolu's Ice Punch to take him out in one shot as well.

Now that the movie is finished, go to the Theater to view it. Talk to the lady at the desk near the theater door to choose the movie you want to see.

After the movie is over, exit out to the lobby and talk to the man with the backpack on the left. He'll hand over Five Lemonades. You can buy Lemonade, Soda Pop, or Fresh Water at the vending machines in the lobby and around the world.

Leave the theater and return to the South East docks of Virbank City.

Other Movies

If you like, you can head back to the studio and work on other movies. Talk to the same person from earlier to start another movie.

Castelia City is an extremely large city located in Southern Unova. It has five piers, four paths in the middle of the city, and one path in the North part of the city. Technically, a few wild Pokemon can be found in the city, but the location of the grass can only be reached through Castelia Sewers, which is found on the pier on the far right.

Castelia City is also home to the third Gym Badge in Unova.

There are many areas that connect with Castelia City. North of the City is Route 4, East is Sky Arrow Bridge, South East is Castelia Sewers, and South are two boats on two piers. The far left pier takes you to Liberty Garden, and the next pier over takes you to Virbank City.

Since the city is so big, it will be broken down into sections for easy navigation.

Southern Docks / Piers

Prime Pier

Get off the boat and walk to the bottom right of the pier, there you'll find a Heart Scale. This pier is the central pier of the five, known as Prime Pier. Walk North to the city to obtain the Bicycle from a clown.

Unity Pier

The pier to the left of the central pier is called Unity Pier. It has a woman standing in the middle. Talk to her to receive the Destiny Knot.

If you've traded with a player from a different country, the ship at Unity Pier will take you to Unity Tower.

Liberty Pier

The pier to the far left is called Liberty Pier. A boat on this pier will take you to Liberty Garden.

Cruise Dock

The pier on the mid-right has a ship called the Royal Unova. It will leave once a day at evening time. To go on board, you must pay $1000. Talk to everyone on board for more Pokemon Battles.

Thumb Pier

The pier on the far right is called Thumb Pier. It takes you to Castelia Sewers, but the entrance will be inaccessible until you visit the Gym.

There are three buildings in the Southern area of Castelia City. The Pokemon Center is on the right, The Pokemon Battle Company is in the middle, and the Passerby Analytics HQ is on the left.

Head to the Pokemon Center if you need to stock up on some items. The only new item at this time is the Nest Ball, but more items will become available after earning the next badge.

The Passerby Analytics HQ isn't really important. The main thing to do is answer questions and get sub-par items. It'd be much easier to spend that time playing the game and earning money to buy those same items.

Enter the tunnel to the East. The tunnel usually connects to Sky Arrow Bridge, but it will be blocked off for awhile. Talk to a woman inside to receive the Quick Claw.

Now you can visit the Pokemon Battle Company. It's on a separate page to save space.

Castelia Street

The street on the far right side of Castelia City is called Castelia Street. This street has two main buildings worth visiting.

Game Freak

The Game Freak Building is on a separate page to save space.

Building Opposite Game Freak

The only thing this building has is a Technical Machine. Talk to the woman on the 11th floor to obtain TM44 - Rest.

Mode Street

The next street to visit is the middle-right street, known as Mode Street. There are two things to do here.

Ice Cream Stand

The Ice Cream Stand sells Casteliacones for 100 each. These ice creams will heal any status problem on a Pokemon. The only downside is you can only buy ice cream once a day. Furthermore, you can only buy one cone or twelve cones that one time a day. For that price, stock up on twelve!

Studio Castelia

There's not much to do in this art studio. If you talk to the man in the corner, he'll ask to see a certain Type of Pokemon. The type will change from day to day. Show him the type he asks for to earn a few Berries.

Narrow Street

The middle-left street is an alleyway called Narrow Street. Walk down the alley and a man will stop and talk to you. After the conversation, he'll give you TM70 - Flash.

Look on the right side of the alley for a door into Cafe Sonata.

Cafe Sonata

Talk to the bartender to obtain a Moo Moo Milk. If you have Meloetta in your party, you can teach it Relic Song here. Teaching it Relic Song allow it to change into a new form while in battle.

Gym Street

The far left street has two areas, one being the city's GYM.

Building on Top left

This building on the left side of the street holds a few important things.

There is a woman in the lobby who will massage your Pokemon for free. Massaging your Pokemon increases the Friendship of that Pokemon. If you don't know much about Friendship, see that page.

The Name Rater is also found in the lobby. This man will change the nicknames of your Pokemon. Unfortunately, you cannot change the names of Pokemon who have been traded to your game.

The second floor is the Medal office. The people here will tell you all you need to know about Medals.

The third floor of the building has Amanita, the person who fixed the Pokemon PC in Unova (since Bill supposedly created the System in Kanto). Talk to her to learn about the Boxes, Battle Box, and Pal Pad.

Also in the room is Fennel, the Pokemon Researcher. Her assistants will tell you all about the Pokemon Dream World.

Gift PokemonAfter defeating the Pokemon League, talk to one of Amanita to receive an Eevee at Level 10. This Eevee will have its Rare Ability, Adaptability. Make sure to save before accepting the trade. The

Nature and Stats of the Eevee will vary. For more information, see the page: Gift Pokemon

Northern Area

Before going into the sidequest involving the GYM, head to the Northern Area of Castelia City. Near the fountain is a man who will give you the Funfest Mission "Train with Martial Artists!"

North of the fountain has three buildings.

The building on the right is a place where people speak many different languages. Go up to the 47th floor and talk to a woman to the left. She will give you TM45 - Attract.

The building on the left has a man in the lobby who will give you an Amulet Coin. The 11th floor has nothing of importance.

The other building on the right side of the street (further up ahead) has a man who will give you an Eviolite if you've seen 40 different Pokemon. Head up to the 47th floor to obtain a Charcoal. This floor also has a man who will tell you the importance of each of the eight GYM Badges.

Gym

Before you can challenge the Gym Leader, you will have to do a small side task. Talk to the man standing in front of the Gym doors. A girl name Iris will come by and talk to you about the task that needs to be done. Follow her to the Pier on the far Right; your Rival will join the two of you for this particular side quest. From there, head into the Castelia Sewers.

Pokemon Battle Company

The building to the left of the Pokemon Center in Castelia City is the Pokemon Battle Company. It has a few floors of trainers and items.

Lobby

Enter the lobby and a man will give you the EXP. Share. Next, talk to the girl on the right. She'll ask you which Pokemon you chose for your starter. Depending on the answer, you will get a type boosting hold item. All three items can be found in the city or the next route, so it doesn't matter which you get: Mystic Water, Miracle Seed, or Charcoal.

47th Floor

After obtaining the items, enter the elevator and choose the 47th floor. This floor is very small and holds four trainers.

Castelia Sewers is a small underground area in Castelia City. The entrance is found on the far right pier in the city. The Sewers connects with Relic Passage and a small grassy area where the wild Pokemon of Castelia City can be found.

Depending on the season, the canals will either be filled or drained of their water. Without water, certain areas can be reached. The water will be filled during Spring and Summer, and emptied during Autumn and Fall.

First Visit (Water Filled)

Enter the Sewers with your Rival. As long as he is with you, all Wild Pokemon will be in Double Battles. Your Rival will use the second evolution of his starter Pokemon.

Walk west until you find a Twisted Spoon near a few Team Plasma members. Talk to them to start a double battle.

Walk North and then West to find a Heart Scale in a corner. From the sewers, you can head North to Relic Passage, or continue South to clear out the rest of the sewer.

South has a staircase which leads up to a hidden area in Castelia City. It's the only area in the city

with wild Pokemon. See the Castelia City section below for more info.

The only way to reach it is going the long way around and pushing a boulder North. Since you're headed South anyways, it'll be best to clear out the Southern area first.

Walk to the East and South until you reach a boulder to the right. Push the boulder and walk up the path North and to the West. It will take you to a passage that leads to a small room on the first floor.

The Wild Pokemon in this small room will be the same as the past floors. This room contains three items: an Ultra Ball, Rare Candy, and Rocky Helmet. Return to the previous area.

Do not jump the ledges directly beneath or to the right of the boulder! Instead, walk to the West part of the floor and jump the first ledge. To the left of the first jump is a Max Repel. Jump over the second

Castelia City Gym

Castelia City Gym specializes in Bug Type Pokemon. The layout may seem complicated, but it's actually pretty straight forward. A few webs and cocoons are spread throughout the Gym. Enter one of the openings in the cocoon to be taken to a different area.

Like usual, the Gym guide, Clyde, in the front of the Gym will give you a Fresh Water before you start. Enter the first cocoon in the back of the room to be taken to the first trainer.

Gym Leader Burgh

If you need to heal your team before battling the Gym Leader, jump down the hole on the left side of the room. You will be transported back to the entrance, and a path will be permanently opened to the Gym Leader's room.

Like the rest of the Gym, Burgh uses Bug Type Pokemon. However, none of his Pokemon are pure Bug Types; they're all mixed with one other type. If you have a Fire or Flying type Pokemon on your team, it's best to use them here. Two of his three Pokemon are 4x weak to either one of those types. The third Pokemon (Dwebble) is half Rock and half Bug. Ground, Water, or even Fighting type attacks will work well against him. If you chose Snivy as your starter, it'll be best to keep him on the bench for this battle.

Burgh's special attack is called Struggle Bug. This is a Special Bug type attack that will reduce the target's Special Attack Stat. Every one of his Pokemon will know this attack.

When one of Burgh's Pokemon gets hurt enough, Burgh will use a Hyper Potion

Nimbasa City is a large city in central Unova. There are three routes that connect to Nimbasa City: South is Route 4, North East is Route 16, and North West is Route 5.

Nimbasa City is also home to the fourth GYM Badge of Unova.

When you arrive in the city, head to the Pokemon Center to heal up your Pokemon and collect any new Medals. Talk to the man next to the counter to receive Ten Red Shards. No new items are available from the left (top) clerk at the Pokemon Center, but the right clerk will sell four TMs. Walk around the outside of the Pokemon Center until you reach one step North of the sign. A hidden Thunderstone can be found here.

From the Pokemon Center, head North West to the two houses nearby. Enter the house on the right first. Upstairs is an NPC who will hand over a Sun Stone after talking to him. Next, enter the house on the left. Talk to the person inside to receive the Soothe Bell. This is a very useful item if you have Pokemon that level up through Friendship.

The house directly to the left (West) of the Pokemon Center is the Battle Institute. It will not be open until much later. See the Battle Institute page for more info.

Gear Station

Walk to the East until you reach the building to the right of the Pokemon Center. You may have noticed a trainer talking to two men. Talk to the trainer to start a double battle with the trainer. This trainer will be male if your character is female, and vice versa. Their Pokemon will be which ever Pokemon you or your did not choose as a starter. This is how you can figure out the true names of the Heroes.

Next, head to the Northern area of Nimbasa. There will be three buildings in the Northern Area. Two of the three have Trainers, and the third is a building just for fun. The three buildings -- from left to right -- are the Little Court, Big Stadium, and Music Hall.

For consolidation, Little Court and Big Stadium have their own pages.

Musical Theater

The third building in the North area of Nimbasa is the Musical Theater. This place is where Pokemon Musicals are held. Enter the building and a man will present you with the Prop Case. Place props on your Pokemon and enter them in contests. The only prizes for winning contests are more props. Pokemon Musicals aren't for everyone.

Before leaving, talk to the person to the right of the desk. They will hand over TM49 - Echoed Voice.

Routes

Before challenging the Nimbasa City GYM, you may want to train your Pokemon a bit more at Route 5 or Route 16.

Amusement Park

Head through the gates on the South East area of Nimbasa to find the Amusement Park. There are three important places in the Amusement Park: the Roller coaster (Old GYM), the Ferris Wheel, and the Nimbasa City GYM.

Once you enter the area, look South to find a Dropped Item. It's part of a long side quest. Click the item page for more info.

Head to the right (East) until you reach the older GYM from the first Pokemon Black and White. Before entering the GYM, search the trash can next to the vending machines to find a Revive.

Before you can challenge the Nimbasa GYM, you must clear out the old GYM.

Roller Coaster - Old GYM

The former GYM is exactly how it was before. If you remember it, this should be simple. Only two trainers can be found inside.

Enter the roller coaster car on the right side of the entrance area. Once it stops, exit out and step on the switch on the platform. Enter the same car from before, this time it will have a different path. Once the car reaches the next platform, exit out again and stand on the next switch. Wait for the next car. When it comes, a trainer will pop out and battle you.

Ferris Wheel

To the right of the Roller coaster is the Ferris Wheel. Talk to the person in front of the Ferris Wheel to get on. Of course, you must first beat him/her in a Pokemon Battle. The trainer and Pokemon vary from day to day.

Continue to the right side of the Amusement Park until you see an Audino Balloon. Walk around the right side to find a Paralyz Heal. North is the Nimbasa City GYM.

After GYM

After earning the Bolt Badge, head to the North West section of Nimbasa. There you will find your Rival and three members of Team Plasma. Help him take out the two members to open up Route 5.

Gym Leader Elesa

Elesa is the Gym Leader of the Nimbasa City Gym. She uses Electric Type Pokemon for her entire team. One of her Pokemon is half Electric and half Flying, which can cause trouble with her special move. Electric Types are only weak to Ground type Pokemon, but this late in the game, you won't need to rely on Types alone to win a match.

The special attack of this Gym is Volt Switch. This move attacks a Pokemon and switches the user with another Pokemon on their team in one turn. This could be troublesome if you use a Ground Type Attack when one of the Electric Pokemon switches to Emolga (the Flying / Electric). Try to plan ahead with your attacks. When only one Pokemon is left on her team, Volt Switch will not switch out the Pokemon, but it will still cause damage.

When one of Elesa's Pokemon becomes weak, she will use a Hyper Potion to restore its HP.

Driftveil City is located in Western Unova. Four paths connect with the city: Driftveil Drawbridge is to the East, Route 6 is to the North West, the Pokemon World Tournament is to the South, and Clay Tunnel is located to the North.

When you first get off Driftveil Drawbridge, use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Ultra Ballbefore the bridge into town.

Cross the bridge to find Team Plasma. They won't battle you, so don't worry. Follow the street West into town, then North to find the Pokemon Center.

Pokemon Center

Heal up your Pokemon and grab any Medals you may have earned.

The Pokemon Center has a new Poke Ball available for sale. After defeating the GYM, two more items will also become available.

Talk to the woman at the top left part of the center. She'll hand over Three Luxury Balls. These balls make newly caught Pokemon more Friendly towards you.

Driftveil City has many buildings around town. Each building has something useful inside.

Driftveil Continental Hotel

Walk two buildings to the right from the Pokemon Center to find Driftveil Continental Hotel.

Nothing can be found in the lobby nor on the 23rd Floor. Use the elevator to reach the 25th floor. Talk to a man on the on that floor to obtain the Big Root.

Exit out of the building and head South to a small alleyway. A Calcium can be found here.

Driftveil Chateau Hotel

Cross the main road to the West part of Driftveil. The Driftveil Chateau Hotel can be found to the left of the Pokemon Center, just across the road.

Talk to a man inside the lobby. This man is actually a Move Tutor. For Red Shards, he'll teach one Pokemon in your party a move, if that Pokemon can learn the move.

After you're down with the move tutor, use the Elevator to reach the 25th floor. There is nothing on the 11th floor, so you might as well skip it. Talk to an old man on the 25th floor to obtain an Air Balloon. It's a one time use item that makes a Pokemon immune to Ground type attacks.

Exit out of the building and head South to find a Market.

Market

The Pokemon Center isn't the only place to get items in Driftveil. A Market can be found on the West side of town.

Enter the market and talk to the man on the top right counter. If you have a Level 30 Pokemon, he will give you an Expert Belt. This item increases the power of super effective moves by 20%.

The bottom right merchant has many cheap medicinal items, but do not buy any of them. They are all bitter items that your Pokemon will hate!

To the left of the Market is a Team Plasma Merchant who sells Incense.

At the South West part of town is the Driftveil Luxury Suites. Talk to a girl inside the lobby and show her a Pokemon that knows a specific move. If you have that Pokemon, she'll give you a Heart Scale.

Take the elevator up to the 23rd floor. The 19th floor has nothing of interest, so avoid it. Talk to a man on the 23rd floor to obtain the Everstone.

After you defeat the Pokemon League, return to Driftveil City for two matters.

The cave to the North will now be open. This cave is called Clay Tunnel, and it connects to two other caves.

The second matter involves your Rival. After defeating him in Undella Town after the Pokemon League, face him one final time in Team Plasma's Headquarters. To see his full team, see the Rival page.

Driftveil City Gym

The Driftveil City Gym specializes in Ground Type Pokemon. Ground Types are strong against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel Types. They are weak to Grass, Ice, and Water type attacks, and they cannot touch Flying type Pokemon.

Enter the Gym and use the elevator in the back. When you reach the basement, talk to Clyde to receive a Fresh Water.

This Gym is a very complicated Gym if you don't know where you're going. You must walk on conveyor belts to reach trainers throughout the Gym. The shortest path to the Gym Leader takes you through two out of seven trainers. Use the following map to find your way if you find the directions confusing.

Walk forward to find the first trainer.

Gym Leader Clay

The Leader of Driftveil City Gym is a man named Clay. Like the rest of the Gym, he uses Ground Type Pokemon. Only one of his three Pokemon is a pure ground type, the other two are dual types. If you don't have a water or grass type Pokemon, try to play to the other type's weaknesses, but be careful of the moves the Pokemon may know. A Fighting Type Pokemon will work well against both Krokorok and Excadrill. Flying types are immune to ground type attacks, but two of the three Pokemon have Rock type attacks which are super effective to flying type Pokemon. Also, beware of Sandslash's Fury Cutter. It's a bug type attack which may cause massive damage to grass type Pokemon. The more it's used, the more damage it does.

Clay's special move is Bulldoze. This is a Physical Ground Type Attack that damages and reduces the Speed of the target.

When one of Clay's Pokemon gets weak, he Will use Hyper Potion to fully restore their health.

The first time you visit the PWT, you will have to do a few mandatory things before participating in Tournaments. After earning the Quake Badge, meet up with Clay and your Rival at the front of the arena. They will take you to the inside and tell you what the building is used for. You will need to participate in a quick and easy tournament. All Pokemon you face will be at Level 25, but your team will be the same level they are now. Choose three Pokemon to enter. You will face the following three trainers and Pokemon:

Rival

1. Servine or Pignite or Dewott ?2. Simisear or Simipour or Simisage ?3. Tranquill ?

Each relearned move will cost one Heart Scale.Booth 3: The third booth holds the Move Deleter. This man will delete any move on any Pokemon. It's really only useful for deleting Hidden Machines. Unlike the move reminder, the move deleter will do this for free.Booth 4: The fourth booth will teach the fifteen starter Pokemon a specific move. Depending on the Pokemon you chose, and his Happiness, he can teach Blast Burn, Frenzy Plant, or Hydro Cannon.Booth 5: The fifth booth is a Move Tutor who will teach your starter Pokemon a specific move. Depending on the Pokemon you chose, he can teach Grass Pledge, Water Pledge, or Fire Pledge.

There are a few items around the outside area. Talk to a man on the East side near the water to receive a Rocky Helmet. The man will be wearing a blue coat.

From the blue coat man, head North near the vending machines. Investigate the trash can on the right to find a Zinc.

Next, head to the left side of Booth 2. Use your Dowsing Machine to find a secret Ether nearby.

The second floor is now clear. Continue up to the third.

Third Floor

There are no trainers on this floor, nor is there a legendary Pokemon like the first BW.

From the start of the floor, head West and investigate a small rock. Inside is a hidden Full Heal.

Next, walk all the way East and all the way North. TM80 - Rock Slide can be found there.

Walk back down towards the starting area. Up the set of stairs just North of the start is an Escape Rope. Continue along the path to the other side. Two more giant boulders can be found in the middle of the area. Push them South using Strength to open a path to the starting area.

Before leaving, walk up the stairs to the Western part of the cave. A man will be standing alone here. Above him is a hidden Dragon Gem in a small rock.

Further West is a set of stairs that will take you back up to the first floor. It's a very small area near the

beginning of the cave. You can jump the ledge to the left to return to the entrance, but you'd have to walk all the way back.

Mistralton City is a small city and shipping center located in Western Unova. To the South is Chargestone Cave, and to the North East is Route 7.

Pokemon Center

Enter the Pokemon Center to deal with your Pokemon. This Pokemon Center doesn't sell unique Poke Balls at the right counter like other Pokemon Centers. Instead, it sells four Weather based Technical Machines.

Explore The City

Exit out of the Center and visit the house to the right. Talk to the woman inside to receive an HP Upfor having an impressive collection of TMs. When you get more, she'll give you another item -- most likely another HP Up.

Head North into town to find Professor Juniper. After a bit of dialogue, she'll hand over the Master Ball. This ball can catch any Pokemon 100% of the time! You may want to save it for later. The Professor will also be with the GYM Leader of Mistralton City. She'll be waiting for you at the GYM when you're ready.

The house to the North has a boy, girl, and Ducklett. Talk to them after defeating Skyla to bring up an item at the end of the runway to the West.

Next, visit the Mistralton Cargo Service on the West side of town to get two items. Talk to the person in the middle of the building to obtain a Sharp Beak. Next, talk to the person behind the North East counter. If you have a Flying or Psychic type Pokemon, the man will give you Five Net Balls.

Runway

To the West of the City is a long runway. North of the runway is Mistralton City GYM.

All the way South of the runway is a small field with plants. If it's Autumn of Winter, there will be tents here. A Max Repel can be found towards the bottom. An NPC can also be found above the top right plants. This man will buy any Mulch you may have on you.

East of the runway is TM58 - Sky Drop next to a parked plane.

West of the plane is a backpacker girl. Talk to her to receive the Funfest Mission "Big Harvest of Berries!"

Use your Dowsing Machine further North between the two planes. A hidden Flying Gem can be found here.

Now challenge the Mistralton City Gym or level up some more at Route 7.

After defeating the Gym and talking with the people in town with the Ducklett, TM40 - Aerial Ace will appear.

Return After Lentimas

MemoryAfter traveling to Lentimas Town, fly back to Mistralton City. Walk to the Gym to find Skyla standing in front of the door. If you used the Memory Link, you'll see a flashback between Skyla and Elesa. They even threw in an Airplane! (the movie) joke.

After seeing all Unova Pokemon, not counting Event Legends, get the Permit from Professor Juniper to fly from the Mistralton Cargo Service to Nature Preserve.

After ringing the bell, return to the city to receive a Revive.

Mistralton City Gym

The Mistralton City Gym is a Flying Type Pokemon Gym. None of the Pokemon are pure Flying types, of course. There is only one Pokemon in all 649 Pokemon that is a pure flying type -- two if you count Arceus with his plates.

Flying type Pokemon are weak against Ice, Rock and Electric types attacks. Flying type attacks are strong against Grass, Bug, and Fighting type Pokemon. And don't forget, Ground type attacks cannot hit Flying Type Pokemon. Since they're all dual types, try to play to both type's weaknesses.

Head into the Gym to find Clyde, who will give you a Fresh Water. He will blow towards you because of the Gym's layout. Every now and then, big gusts of wind will come and blow you as far downward as it can. An exclamation mark (!) will pop above your head right when it comes. Hide behind walls for cover. The ground below you is almost like a net or chain link fence. You won't be able to cross any holes on foot, but the strong gusts can push you past them until you hit a wall.

The last thing to do is run straight up to the v Leader's area.

Gym Leader Skyla

Skyla is the Leader of Mistralton City Gym. Like the rest of the Gym, she uses Flying Type Pokemon mixed with something else. Unlike many of the other Gym, only one of the Pokemon in her team uses the special move she will award you with for defeating her. That move is Acrobatics. It's a Flying type attack that does extra damage if the user is not holding an item.

Her first Pokemon, Swoobat, is a half Psychic and half Flying Pokemon. It knows Flying and Psychic attacks, but it also knows a Dark type attack, which would be strong against a Ghost type if you happen to have one. Its fourth attack is Attract. If you have a male Pokemon, Swoobat may try to immobilize it with this move.

Her second Pokemon, Skarmory, is a very defensive Pokemon. It would not be wise to attack with Physical Attacks. Special Attacks like Fire, Electric, or Ice type attacks will do well since it's half Steel and half Flying.

Her final Pokemon, Swanna, is a half Water and half Flying Pokemon. Like the other Pokemon, it knows attacks that are the same as its type. Roost, another one of its attacks, will restore some of her HP each time she uses it. She is also holding a berry that will restore some HP when injured. FeatherDance greatly reduces your Pokemon's Attack, so it'll be wise to use Special Attacks. An Electric attack will be 4x strong against her, so that may be the best choice.

Once one of her Pokemon is hurt enough, she will use a Hyper Potion.

Strange House is a small haunted mansion in Eastern Unova. The only way to reach it is through Reverse Mountain. The house is like a maze of sorts. The furniture will move around each of the three floors when you enter or exit out of a room. If you get stuck, exit out of the house to reset the furniture and try again.

The first thing to do is enter the basement. There's a staircase on the left side of the ground floor. A Spell Tag can be found in the basement with another item, but the second item is unreachable at first. Walk to the right side of the basement and up the stairs.

The two doors on the ground floor will now be open on the left and right side of the staircase to the second floor. A trainer can be found inside the right room.

Undella Town is a small town in Eastern Unova. It sits right on the coast of the Eastern Sea. There are five different areas that connect to Undella Town. To the West is Reversal Mountain, North is Route 13, East is Undella Bay, South is Route 14, and there's the Marine Tube in the middle of town that connects to Humilau City after obtaining the seventh badge.

First Visit

Exit from Reversal Mountain to the West. Use your Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Shiny Stone to the North. Head East towards the town, but before entering town, walk along the path to the South West to find Berry Juice. Now you can enter Undella Town.

There's not much to do the first time you visit. Enter the Pokemon Center to heal your Pokemon and buy any items you may need. There's a new Poke Ball for sale as well. Talk to a man on the left side of the lobby to obtain the Prism Scale.

The man in black in the Pokemon Center will ask you a question. Answer either yes or no to receive the Funfest Mission "Shocking Shopping."

The building to the left of the Marine Tube houses three people. The man dressed like a fighter will buy Flutes and Relic Items from you for a high price.

Before heading North to Route 13, you may want to walk around the beach with a Dowsing Machine. You can find a hidden Heart Scale and a Pearl.

Now, if you try to head into the route house that leads to Route 13, you'll be stopped by your Rival. He'll challenge you to a Pokemon battle. The first one in a long time!

Rival Battle - $4100

Your Rival will always have an Unfezant as his first Pokemon. Don't try to use any attacks other than damaging attacks. It'll most likely use Taunt to prevent you from doing so anyways. With its high critical hit ratio moves, item, and ability, take it out before it takes your team out.

The second Pokemon varies between Simisage, Simipour, or Simisear. The Pokemon depends completely on your starter Pokemon. The simi-pokemon will be the one that has a Type disadvantage to your starter.

Your Rival's starter will be at the third evolution by now with a variety of moves. Don't take it too lightly. Go with a high leveled Pokemon that has a type advantage. Make sure it's not at a type disadvantage to Fighting type attacks either.

When one of his Pokemon gets weak without fainting, he'll use a Hyper Potion to fully restore their health.

Undella Bay is a small water area in Eastern Unova. It's partially connected to the East side of Undella Town. To the North is Seaside Cave, but the entrance will be blocked the first time you visit.

The dark spots in the water are areas you can Dive into. They lead to Abyssal Ruins.

First Visit

This entire area is almost square in shape. Start on the North West part by walking up the sandy beach. A Draco Plate can be found at the far North part.

Next, Surf on a Pokemon to the East. You may find four big dark spots in this area. These spots allow you to dive deep into the ocean. Unfortunately, Dive isn't available just yet. A trainer can be found close to the beach.

Route 12 is a wide open, grassy route. There won't be any trees to navigate around to find items and trainers. Tall grass can be found in the South part of the route, and tall dark grass can be found in the North part.

This route connects Lacunosa Town in the East to Village Bridge in the West.

Walkthrough

Enter the route and head West. The first trainer can be found walking in a big circle in the middle of the route. You may need to walk a bit North into the tall grass to see him.

Village Bridge is an area in North Eastern Unova that's part bridge and part town, or village, just as the name implies. There are houses set up on both sides of the bridge, and there are grassy and water areas with wild Pokemon above and below the bridge.

Village Bridge connects to two different routes: Route 12 to the East and Route 11 to the West.

If you don't want to explore the area, you can easily cross the bridge to the West to reach Route 11.

Also, there are four musicians who, if you talk to them all, will change the music being played. The Dark Musicians of Village Bridge are Derleth (Grass Flute), Aickman (Second Acoustic Guitar), Russo (Beatboxxing), and Koontz (Enka Vocals).

Bridge

The first house on the far right side of the bridge contains an NPC who will fully heal your Pokemon. They will heal your Pokemon an infinite amount of times, seeing as how there isn't a Pokemon Center in this area.

Cross the bridge to the West and a man will ask you to battle with him.

Route 11 is a short route in North Eastern Unova. It connects Village Bridge in the East to Opelucid City in the West.

Most of the route is inaccessible until you obtain Waterfall.

First Visit

Since you won't have Waterfall the first time you visit, all you can do is head to the West along the main path. Across the bridge is the first trainer of the area.

Come back later after learning Waterfall to explore the rest of the area.

There are two waterfalls in this area. First, climb up the waterfall to the North. Once you reach the top, use the Dowsing Machine to locate a hidden HP Up to the right. On the left side of the waterfall is a slightly hidden Zinc between two trees.

Next, head down the other waterfall to the South East. At the bottom is a small grassy area to the right. It looks like an item ball is in the grass, but it's really a wild Amoonguss.

North of this area is another small grassy area. Two items are to the left and right of a Pokemon Ranger.

Opelucid City

Opelucid City is a town in Northern Unova. It's the city with the seventh GYM of Unova. Opelucid will vary in looks depending on which Pokemon version you're playing. In Black 2, the city looks very futuristic. In White 2, the city looks much more old-fashioned. However, the entire city is exactly the same between the two versions.

The city connects to two different routes: Route 14 is to the East and Route 9 is to the West.

The Pokemon Center is in the South East part of town. Take your Pokemon there to heal up and collect any Medals. Three special Poke Balls can be found here. The most important is the Timer Ball! This ball is a very powerful ball when used in long matches. It's probably best when trying to catch Legendary Pokemon. The longer the match, the stronger the ball.

Exit out of the Pokemon Center and enter the house to the North West. There's a little path that leads directly up to it. Two very special items can be found on the second floors. Talk to the football player to receive a Float Stone. Talk to the woman on the other side of the table to receive a Ring Target

The next important house is on the far West side of town. Enter the building and talk to the man on the ground floor. He'll give you more accessories for Pokemon Musicals.

Next, head to a building at the North part of town. Inside is a woman who will hand over a Smoke Ball.

The last important house may not be of much use to you right now. Head to a building just North of the Pokemon Center. A man with a ton of Tympoles will be on the second floor. If you happen to have a Tympole, his Tympoles will line up and sing for you. The only way to get a Tympole is to breed a Palpitoad or trade for one.

You can now either challenge the Opelucid City Gym or train a bit more and shop on Route 9.

After GYM

After defeating the GYM Leader, Drayden will exit out of the GYM. Follow him to his home. There, he will tell you the story about the three Dragon Pokemon. Some time later, he will teach any eligible Pokemon the move Draco Meteor.

After a bit of dialogue, Team Plasma will come and ruin everything.

The city will be covered in ice. Slide across the ice and challenge each of the Team Plasma grunts.

Route 9 is a short route in Northern Unova. It connects Opelucid City in the East to Tubeline Bridge in the West. Shopping Mall Nine can also be found in the North.

The first time you visit this route may be after obtaining the seventh GYM badge. If this is so, the area will be partially iced over. It will make the route a bit more difficult to navigate, but it won't be too hard. Just slide from side to side using icicles as stops. Hopefully, you'll visit before you take on Opelucid City's Gym.

Shopping Mall Nine is, as its name implies, a shopping mall found on Route 9. The mall has many items for sale, some which aren't for sale anywhere else.

A woman on the ground floor will ask you to buy a Hyper Potion for her. She'll give you the money to go grab one at a counter. Buy one and give it to her to receive an Energy Root. Remember, bitter items are bad!

Opelucid City Gym

Opelucid Gym specializes in Dragon Type Pokemon. These Dragon types are very versatile. They may have a variety of attacks, but their defenses are pure Dragon. The Dragon type is only weak against Dragon and Ice type attacks. Don't try using Fire, Water, Grass, or Electric type attacks unless the Pokemon is strong enough or at a high enough level to put a dent in the Dragon Pokemon.

This Gym has a very simple layout. Six trainers, including the Gym Leader, are laid out on a giant dragon statue. The first trainer will be at the bottom, the next two are at the legs, the next two are at the arms, and the Leader is at the head. You only need to face one of the two trainers at the legs and arms to progress to the next section. If you like, you can face both trainers to gain some experience.

Like always, Clyde will give you a Fresh Water when you enter. Head forward to face the first trainer.

Gym Leader Drayden

Drayden is the leader of the Opelucid City Gym. He has three very strong Dragon type Pokemon. The special move of this Gym is Dragon Tail. This attack physically damages a Pokemon and forces them to switch to another Pokemon in the party. Don't try to boost your Pokemon's stats, or they will become negated if forced out of battle.

Two of Drayden's Pokemon are pure Dragon types, but the other (Flygon) is half Dragon and half Ground, making it 4x weak against Ice types. If you have an Ice Type Attack and a strong enough Pokemon, you may be able to take it out in one shot. The Ground Type also makes it slightly weaker to Grass and Water type attacks.

Like some of the other trainers in this Gym, these three Dragon type Pokemon have various Types of moves. Try not to choose a Pokemon that's at a disadvantage to their attacks. They are very strong and very high leveled Pokemon. Having a strong Dragon Type attack with a Pokemon that's not weak to any of their attacks would prove useful. Dragon Pulse is available from a Move Tutor in Lentimas Town.

If you get to reach Drayden's final Pokemon, Haxorus, make sure to take him out quickly. If he uses Dragon Dance, his attack and speed will increase, making it more and more difficult to damage him

before he annihilates your Pokemon.

When one of Drayden's Pokemon gets weak without fainting, he'll use a Hyper Potion to fully restore their health.

Humilau City is the hometown of the eighth, and final, Unova GYM badge. It's located in the far North Eastern part of Unova. Route 21 is located to the South of the city, and Route 22 is located to the North West.

To reach Humilau, you can travel North of Undella Bay, or you can take the simple path through Marine Tube.

When you enter through Marine Tube, you will start out in the South East part of the city. The Pokemon Center and Humilau City Gym are located directly to the West; however, the GYM Leader will not be in the GYM at this time.

Visit the rest of the town to the North after healing your Pokemon. The entire town is set alongside docks.

The town is basically built around three docks. The first dock you start on wraps to the North East part of town. The second dock almost forms a circle in the middle of town. The third dock is a short dock to the North West part of town.

Eastern Dock

When you walk North towards the rest of the town, Marlon, the GYM Leader, will come out of the water and talk to you. He'll now be available at the GYM. Before going there, head into town.

The first house to the North holds another Move Tutor. He'll teach your Pokemon select moves for Yellow Shards.

Exit out of the house and follow the dock to the end in the North. Walk down into the shallow water to find a Heart Scale to the right. Bring out your Dowsing Machine to find a second Heart Scale hidden under the dock to the left.

To reach the next dock, walk South West in the shallow water.

Middle Dock

The middle dock forms a sort of circle. Two houses are connected to it. Nothing of interest can be found in the Northern house, but the Southern house will have a man who is willing to trade Pokemon. Trade your Mantine for his Tangrowth. Mantine are very rare Pokemon in the wild. It is possible to find one while surfing on Route 21, but you'd have a much easier time fishing for one. Mantyke, the pre-evolved form of Mantine, is far easier to find, but the only way to evolve one is to level it up with a Remoraid in your party. Remoraids are about as rare as Mantines themselves. North East of the man who wants to trade Pokemon is a hidden Full Restore.

The Old man in front of the trade house will give you the Funfest Mission "Memory Training!"

Walk South of the middle dock to the shallow water. Here, you can surf further South to find a Shell Bell behind the GYM.

Later (possibly after the Pokemon League) return to the Northern House in the middle dock. The lady will ask you to ring the bell at Celestial Tower. Do it and return here to receive a Revive.

Next, walk to the third and final dock to the North West part of town.

North Western Dock

Only one house is connected to this dock. Inside is an old lady who will let you walk her Pokemon around the house. You won't be able to leave the house with her Pokemon, so don't even try. Check with Mienfoo until it says he walks light. When that's done, talk to the lady to receive a Pearl.

To the East of the house is a Protein at the end of the dock. To the West is Route 21. Before going there, challenge the Humilau City Gym.

Humilau City Gym

Humilau City Gym specializes in Water Type Pokemon. Since it's the last Gym in Unova, the Pokemon will be very strong and at a high level.

Some of the Pokemon in the Gym are pure Water types, but there are a few dual types as well. Water type Pokemon are fairly balanced. Water type Pokemon are weak against Electric and Grass type attacks; and Water type attacks are strong against Fire, Ground, and Rock type Pokemon. Of course, with dual types, they may become stronger or weaker to certain types.

When you first enter the Gym, talk to Clyde. He'll hand over a Fresh Water.

The Gym is filled with water. Jump on lily pads to reach docks across the pond. It's very simple at first, but it becomes a bit more difficult later on.

Jump off the dock to the left onto a lily pad to reach the next dock. Walk along the dock to the next pad. A trainer will stop you on the way.

Gym Leader Marlon

The Gym Leader of Humilau City is Marlon. Like the rest of the Gym, he uses Water type Pokemon. Only one of his Pokemon is a pure water type. The other two are dual types, which means they have extra strengths and weaknesses. The special move of this Gym is Scald. It's a Special Water Attack that may leave the target with a Burn.

The first Pokemon Marlon will use is Carracosta. Carracosta is a very tough Water and Rock type Pokemon. It has high defenses, so make sure to use Special Attacks. Since it's half rock and half water, it's 4x weak against Grass attacks. If you have a Grass type Special Attack, you may be able to defeat it in two shots, due to Sturdy. Try to take out it before it uses Shell Smash. That move will lower its Defense and Special Defense, but it raises its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed stats by two levels!

The second Pokemon in Marlon's party is Wailord. This is the pure Water type Pokemon of his team. It's not exactly the strongest Pokemon of the party when it comes to defenses, but it can still take a few hits with its massive amount of HP. Be careful when using Grass types against this Pokemon. It knows a Flying type move called Bounce that could hurt your Pokemon quite a bit.

Marlon's final Pokemon is Jellicent. This Pokemon is half Water and half Ghost with the Cursed Body ability. This is where it gets tough. Jellicent has a weaker defense when compared to its Special Defense, but if you use a move that will make direct contact, that move will become disabled for a few turns due to the Cursed Body ability. In addition to that, it knows Recover to recover its HP. Try taking it out with Electric or Ghost type moves with a strong enough Pokemon.

When one of Marlon's Pokemon becomes injured without fainting, he'll use a Hyper Potion.

Defeat Marlon to win $6120, the Wave Badge, and TM55 - Scald. The Wave Badge allows all Pokemon, even Pokemon you got in trades, to obey you without question.

You now have all eight badges! You can challenge the Pokemon League to become champion. To reach the Pokemon League, you must travel West of the City to Route 22. If you'd like to train a bit more, you can first head South to Route 21 and Seaside Cave after that. It'll form a complete path to Undella Town.

Pokemon League Championship

After obtaining all eight badges in Unova, you will be qualified to face the Pokemon League to become the Champion!

Continue West into the route. This is the half-way point of the entire route. Colress will stop you here and give you the Colress Machine. This item is used at Seaside Cave. You can head there now, or you can continue through this route first. Make note: it is necessary to travel to Seaside Cave -- and Route 21 before it -- before continuing on to the Pokemon League.

Next to Colress is a Legendary Pokemon.

Legendary Pokemon

The Legendary Pokemon Terrakion will be waiting in the middle of the route. Save your game before interacting with this Pokemon! Make sure you catch it, seeing as how there is only one of these Pokemon in the game. It will always be at Level 45.

There's nothing on the first part of land, but if you keep going East, you'll reach another wooden beam that leads to a Hidden Grotto in the trees to the North.

The entire route should now be cleared. The cave entrance to the West leads to Giant Chasm, but you'll need to visit Route 21 first.

The staircase to the right leads out to a blocked off portion of Route 21. That particular area holds Team Plasma's Frigate. Before you can go there, you have to use the Colress Machine on the boulder in front of the door. This will awaken the boulder, which is really a wild Crustle. Crustle is an uncommon Pokemon.

When you enter the basement, you'll notice a puzzle of sorts with boulders to the East. You can't solve the puzzle from this side, however. You'll need to get there from the South to solve it. Obviously, you'll need a Pokemon with Strength.

First, head as far South as you can. A Max Repel is located in a corner to the East. After grabbing it, walk up the stairs a bit North of the item and push the boulder to the East. A trainer will be waiting further to the East.

Giant Chasm is a big area located in North Eastern Unova. This location is part cave and part forested area, which together forms a giant crater.

Giant Chasm is connected to Route 22 in the East, Route 23 in the West, and Route 13 in the South.

Cave

The dust clouds in Giant Chasm's Cave are either Gems or wild Excadrill.

The cave part of Giant Chasm is structured like a giant connected square, the entrance being at the North East corner. Make sure to bring a Pokemon that knows Strength and Surf to fully explore the area.

If you haven't been to Route 21 and Seaside Cave, you won't be able to continue into the cave.

From the entrance, head South until you reach a boulder on the left. Push the boulder with a Pokemon that knows Strength. To the North is a long, narrow body of water. Surf North to find TM13 - Ice Beam.

Continue South West into the cave. There are three possible paths to reach the Western area, but all paths are short and have no items. Take whichever path you like.

To the West are two exits. The exit down a set of stairs on the North wall leads out to the forested crater area. The exit on the South wall leads out to the grassy area which connects to Route 13. Before going to either exit, explore the rest of the cave.

A short distance West of the exits is a lone rock down a small set of stairs. Investigate the rock to find a hidden Star Piece.

Continue going West until you find another boulder. Push the boulder into the hole to the right and grab the Max Repel behind it.

Next, go far North to the end of the cave. On the way, use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Ultra Ball in a small corner on the right.

The Northern side of the cave has two items, both behind two boulders. The first item is another Star Piece. The second item, to the East, is a hidden Ice Gem.

The cave is cleared out now. Return to one of the exits at the South side of the cave. You can jump a ledge at the North East corner of the cave, or return from the path you came. If your Pokemon are in hurt, it would be best to go to the South exit, which connects to Route 13. From there, you can heal up at Lacunosa Town.

Ghetsis - $9360

Ghetsis may very well be the toughest trainer you have faced thus far. He will have a full team of fully evolved Pokemon with well balanced move sets.

The first Pokemon Ghetis uses is Cofagrigus. This Pokemon has high Defense and Special Defenses, and two of its moves are meant to Badly Poison you and protect itself from your attacks. Using a Steel or Poison type Pokemon will prevent it from being Poisoned. Attack with Dark or Ghost type attacks to take it out quickly. Use a Pokemon that will do enough damage, or it will stall you and heal its own HP each turn with Leftovers.

The other five Pokemon are mainly attackers. Do not use Pokemon who are weak to their attacks, or else they may be taken out within a turn or two. Play to each Pokemon's weaknesses, and don't forget about immunity. Drapion is a Poison type, which is weak to Psychic types, but its Dark type makes it immune to Psychic type attacks.

Ghetsis' final Pokemon, Hydreigon is a very powerful Dark / Dragon Pokemon. It will be holding a Life Orb, which increases its attack power while chipping off its own HP each turn. Sending out a Pokemon that has an elemental weakness to its attacks would probably be suicide. Try using Dragon, Ice, or Fighting type attacks to target his elemental weaknesses. Other attacks will do neutral damage, but if your Pokemon are at high enough levels, neutral damage should be fine.

When one of his Pokemon becomes injured enough without fainting, Ghetsis will use a Full Restore.

The Pokemon's Levels will be increased by 4 in Challenge Mode.

The items include: a PP Up to the East, a Star Piece to the South East, TM03 - Psyshock to the West, a Carbos to the North West, and a Sun Stone to the North.

You can also find a Hidden Grotto in between trees to the far South West. It may be easier to find it if you walk in a straight path North of the first cave's exit.

Return to the first cave and exit out to Route 23 in the West.

Return After Dragonspiral Tower

After visiting Dragonspiral Tower and catching Zekrom or Reshiram, return to the Northern Cave in the crater part of Giant Chasm. The Legendary Pokemon Kyurem will return at Level 70. This time, he'll be catch-able.

Legendary Pokemon

Make sure to save your game before capturing. You may even want to use the Master Ball here. After capturing Kyurem, Bianca and Cheren will come in the cave to talk. After the dialogue, grab the DNA Splicer left behind. This allows you to fuse Kyurem with Zekrom or Reshiram to form Black Kyurem or White Kyurem. Black Kyurem has a higher Attack stat while merged, and White Kyurem has a higher Special Attack stat. Make sure you get the right Nature.

If your Pokemon are injured, talk to the woman in the house near the route entrance. She will heal your Pokemon for free as many times as you need.

South of the house is a Heart Scale on the other side of a small, cut-able tree. You can either cut the small tree or surf around the side.

The only way to go now is North. Cross the bridge up ahead to reach the West side of the river. A trainer will be waiting further North.

Return to the bridge you passed a second earlier. To the left is a Star Piece, but you'll have to go all the way around to reach it. You can take a short cut by cutting a small tree, but further South is a Hidden Grotto within some trees.

The Southern part of the route is now cleared out. Return to the Northern part of the route, then go West. A trainer can be found further West, right below the steps to Victory Road.

To explore the area to the West, you will need a Pokemon that knows Cut. Walk into the tall grass to the West until you see a path to the North, this path will be between a few trees. South of this path is a push-able boulder. Walk along the path to the North East. A trainer will be waiting in between a few trees to the West.

To reach the other half of the Western area, you will need to go below trainer 9, seeing as how he blocked the path to the West. You will need to take another path through the trees to the North West of the push-able boulder from earlier. This path will be a a few steps West of the original path you took to get here.

Before taking the path to the West, move the boulder South into a hole with a Pokemon that knows Strength. Next to the boulder is a Full Heal on a raised square of land.

The path to the North of this boulder is the correct path to the West. You may come across another trainer on the way. This trainer will be sitting in between a few trees.

The path you need to take is North of trainer 11, head West until you reach trainer 9 and the path to the West. Further West is a small cut-able tree near a ledge. Cut it down and continue South until you find a Calcium in a corner. Pick it up and return to the ledges.

The next thing you need to do is jump one of the two ledges from earlier. Further East are more boulders near holes. These boulders form a sort of puzzle. Try to follow these directions to solve the puzzle. Two boulders should have already been moved earlier.

Surf across the small pond to the East to find a boulder to the South East. Push it East until it falls into a hole, allowing you to freely move back and forth from the pond to the boulders. South of this boulder is a rock. Investigate this rock to find a hidden Yellow Shard.

The next step is to push the boulder that is sitting North of the last boulder. Push it to the left until it hits the tree. You may not be able to push it North from here. Walk around the path to the South near the pond, then jump the ledge underneath the boulder. This will allow you to come up beneath the boulder and push it North until it hits the rock face above. Pushing it to the East will be impossible from here. Surf back across the pond to to the West, then walk to the East until you reach the boulder. Push it East and North into the hole.

The next boulder that needs to be pushed will be the second boulder from earlier. Now that the last hole was filled, you can push this boulder to the East into its own hole.

Filling the last hole will allow you to push the next boulder to the East and to the South into another hole.

The final boulder must be pushed East into a hole near a staircase.

To the North is what looks to be an item in the tall grass, but it's actually a wild Amoonguss. Near the Amoonguss is a Green Shard.

Head up the stairs near the last boulder to find a trainer.

The route is now cleared. Head to Victory Road.


After visiting Cave of Being, return to the North West side of Route 23. The fastest way to get there is to fly to Victory Road, go South to Route 23, and West to the boulder puzzle. North of the boulder puzzle is a small, raised square piece of land. Walk there to find the Legendary Pokemon Azelf.

Victory Road is a massive route in North Eastern Unova. It's so massive, we had to split it up into five separate sections (areas) for easier navigation. These areas differ between Black 2 and White 2. Click the appropriate pages:

Victory Road - Ruins - Black 2Victory Road - Mountain Base - Black 2Victory Road - Caves - Black 2Victory Road - Mountain - Black 2

Victory Road - Ruins - White 2Victory Road - Mountain Base - White 2Victory Road - Caves - White 2Victory Road - Mountain - White 2

Make sure to have Pokemon that know Surf, Waterfall, Strength, Cut, and Flash, if you want to navigate throughout the entire area. However, if you want to go directly to the Pokemon League, you only need a Pokemon with Strength.

Entrance

The first area of Victory Road is the badge check and entrance. Before you reach the road that checks your badges, N will stop you and hand over HM05 - Waterfall. This Hidden Machine allows you to climb up and slide down waterfalls.

Side Quests with Waterfall

With HM05 in hand, teach it to a Pokemon to climb up waterfalls all over Unova. Fly to the following routes to find climbable waterfalls:

Route 20Route 11Route 14Lostlorne Forest

Cross the gates to the West, each stop will check one of your eight GYM Badges. Up ahead is a Pokemon Center with many different Poke Balls and healing items.

Exit out of the Pokemon Center and walk far East. A long path winds around the mountain to TM01 - Hone Claws.

Before going deep into Victory Road, navigate through the ruined area below the Pokemon Center. It's almost like a maze, but it's not too hard to get through. There are no Wild Pokemon or trainers to worry about here, but there are a few good items. Two of the four items are hidden, use the Dowsing Machine to find them. The items are: PP Up, a hidden Dusk Stone, a hidden Iron, and a Star Piece.

When you're ready, take the stairs down to the Ruins part of Victory Road.

The Pokemon League is the place where the toughest Pokemon Trainers face the top trainers of the region. These trainers are known as the "Elite Four." In addition to those four, you must face the Pokemon League Champion to become the new Champion

The rules are extremely simple: once you enter the gate, you must face all five trainers in a row. You will be able to choose which of the trainers to battle first, second, third, and fourth, but the champion will always be last. Don't worry, you will be able to fully heal your team in between each battle. Make sure you stock up on items at the Pokemon Center.

If you already beat the Pokemon League and wish to challenge them a second time, see Pokemon League - Round 2

Four Paths will be available to choose from. The paths from left to right match up with the trainers below:

Shauntal - $6960 (Left Path)

Shauntal is a member of the Elite Four. She specializes in Ghost type Pokemon, but only one of her Pokemon is a pure Ghost type. Ghost type Pokemon are weak to Ghost and Dark type attacks. Don't forget, Normal and Fighting types can't touch them unless they use a move like Odor Sleuth or Foresight.

Cofagrigus is the first Pokemon Shauntal will use. It is a Pokemon with high Defense and Special Defense. One of its attacks will always leave your Pokemon with a Burn, which then lowers the Pokemon's Attack. Special Attacks should be the way to go, but look out for her own Special Attacks. Using a Dark type Pokemon would be best.

Golurk may be the next Pokemon in Shauntal's arsenal. It is a strong Pokemon with powerful physical attacks, one which is strong against Dark type Pokemon. If you don't think your Dark or Ghost type Pokemon is strong or fast enough, you could go with a Grass type to hit its Ground type weakness. Don't use a half Grass half Poison Pokemon, or its Ground type attack may take it out in one blow.

Drifblim is an interesting Pokemon in Shauntal's team. It's not extremely strong when looking at stats, but it does have a variety of attacks that are strong to a number of elements. Being both Flying and Ghost type, it has its own fair share of weaknesses.

Chandelure may be the last Pokemon Shauntal uses. It's a half Fire and half Ghost Pokemon. If you're thinking about using a Water type, you may want to think again. It knows an attack called Energy Ball which is a Grass type attack. It's best to stick to a Dark type Pokemon.

If you injure one of her Pokemon without causing it to faint, she'll use a Full Restore.

Grimsley - $6960 (Mid-Left Path)

Grimsley is a member of the Elite Four who specializes in Dark type Pokemon. Dark types are weak against Fighting and Bug type attacks, but only one of his Pokemon is a pure Dark type.

Liepard will be Grimsley's starting Pokemon. It's not a very strong Pokemon, but it is pretty fast. With Liepard being a pure Dark type, using Bug or Fighting attacks would be the best way to go. Look out for her flying type attack Aerial Ace. It could heavily damage any Fighting or Bug type Pokemon you have. Another attack to look out for is Attract. If your Pokemon is male, it may become Infatuated.

Krookodile is another one of Grimsley's Pokemon. She is a tough Pokemon with strong Physical Attacks. A Fighting type may be the best choice to take her down. Be wary when using a Bug type, Krookodile's Rock Tomb can deal massive damage. Grass and Water are also good choices for defeating this Pokemon.

Scrafty is another tough Pokemon with strong Physical Attacks. Being half Fighting and half Dark, it's strong against Bug type attacks and immune to Psychic. Flying type attacks would be a good choice, but don't use a Flying type Pokemon. If you do, her Rock Tomb may quickly take it out. Its ability will increase its Attack each time it defeats a Pokemon.

Grimsley's last Pokemon is Bisharp. The best Pokemon to use against her is a Fighting type with Fighting attacks. Their attacks will do 4x damage to Bisharp's two attacks, plus a boost for being a fighting type (4.5x total). Make sure it's at a high enough level with a high enough speed, or Bisharp's Aerial Ace could do a lot of damage. An alternate choice would be Fire type attacks.

If you injure one of his Pokemon without causing it to faint, he'll use a Full Restore.

Caitlin - $6960 (Mid-Right Path)

Caitlin is a member of the Elite Four who specializes in Psychic type Pokemon. Psychic types are weak against Ghost, Bug, and Dark type attacks. Four of Caitlin's five Pokemon are pure Psychic. The only thing you have to look out for is the variety of moves they may possess, mainly Gothitelle's Shadow Ball. The fifth type is half Psychic and half Flying, meaning it will be strong against Bug type attacks, but in return is weak to Electric and Ice.

Marshal - $6960 (Right Path)

Marshal is a member of the Elite Four who specializes in Fighting type Pokemon. Fighting types are weak against Flying and Psychic type attacks, and all of Marshal's Pokemon are pure Fighting types. Yes, these Pokemon are weak against Flying attacks, but three of the four have Rock type Physical Attacks, which are strong against Flying type Pokemon. On top of that, Sawk has an ability which makes it impossible to be knocked out in one shot. Be careful when using Psychic Pokemon as well. Two of Marshal's Pokemon know an attack called Payback. This is a Dark type attack that increases in power if the Pokemon is hit first. Sawk is one of the Pokemon that knows this attack. Pair that with Sawk's sturdy, and it may take out a Psychic Pokemon in one shot.

Champion Iris - $11800 (Middle Statue)

After defeating the Elite Four, the statue at the starting area will glow. Investigate the statue to reach the Pokemon League Champion.

Iris is the only trainer in the Pokemon League with a full team, at least in Normal mode. Iris used to be the Dragon type GYM Leader in Opelucid City, which is why three of her six Pokemon are still Dragon types. The others vary in type, creating a balanced team. Dragon types are weak against Dragon attacks, but that means if you use a Dragon type Pokemon, you may be at a disadvantage as well. It's best to use Ice or Dragon attacks without using Dragon Pokemon.

Hydreigon is the first Pokemon in Iris' team. It's a half Dragon and half Dark Pokemon. As mentioned earlier, using a Dragon type Pokemon will put you at a disadvantage against its attacks. Hydreigon will still have a weakness to Fighting types, since it's also a Dark type.

Druddigon and Haxorus are the other two Dragon type Pokemon in Iris' team. They are also the only two who will be using held items in Normal mode:

Druddigon uses a mix of Physical and Special Attacks, and it's Life Orb will increase the power of its attacks while taking away some of its HP each turn. It wouldn't be wise to use an Ice type against it, seeing as how it knows Flamethrower.

Haxorus may be the strongest Pokemon in Iris' team. It will mainly use Physical Attacks, and one of its move increases its Attack and Speed stats simultaneously. Its held item, Focus Sash, prevents it from being knocked out with one attack. Make sure you have a fast Pokemon who can withstand a hit or two.

Aggron shouldn't be too tough of an opponent if you have the right Pokemon. Send out a Fighting type with Fighting attacks to knock it out in one shot. It has to be at a high enough level, of course, but not too high. The attack will do about 4.5x damage with elemental weaknesses and STAB. Aggron won't have Sturdy to prevent it from being knock out in one move. Its ability is Rock Head, which prevent it from taking damage from Recoil. Make sure to take it out quickly, or it can deal a lot of damage with its Physical Attacks. Its Status Move will sharply increase it's Speed.

Lapras is a well rounded Pokemon. It knows Water and Ice type attacks, just like its own type. Using Water type Pokemon would be an extremely poor choice. Its Ability will absorb any water attacks thrown at it, restoring its own HP. It would then turn around and use an Electric type attack. Using an Electric or Fighting type Pokemon would play to its weaknesses.

The sixth Pokemon on Iris' team is Archeops. This Pokemon has very strong Attack, Special Attack, and Speed, but it has bad Defense and Special Defense. If you can get its HP below 50%, its Attack and Special Attack will cut in half, but it may then use Endeavor, which reduces your Pokemon's HP to the amount it has. Try to take it out quickly with Electric, Water, or Ice type attacks. Ice type attacks will cause 4x damage (4.5 if it's an Ice type Pokemon), but it will also be weak to Archeops' Rock Slide. Rock Slide is a strong Physical Rock type attack, and being a Rock type Pokemon, the attack will cause even more damage.

If you injure three of her Pokemon without causing it to faint, she'll use three Full Restores.

Rare Candies are always placed in the Medicine bag..

Poke Balls

You cannot add Pokemon to your party without capturing them, which is where Poke Balls come into play. Some Poke Balls can catch Pokemon easier than others. Some Poke Balls can catch certain Pokemon easier than all other Pokemon. Then there's the ultimate Poke Ball, the Master Ball. The Master Ball can capture any Pokemon 100% of the time, but there will only be one in each game.

Most Pokeballs can be bought at Pokemon Centers in each town.

All Poke Balls are stored in the Items Bag.

TMs and HMs

Technical Machines (TMs) and Hidden Machines (HMs) are items found throughout the Pokemon world which allows you to teach certain Moves to certain Pokemon. Not all Pokemon can learn all TMs or HMs.

The differences between TMs and HMs are minimal. TMs are mainly used for battle. They can easily be forgotten to make room for another move. HMs are mainly used for exploration in the Pokemon world, such as cutting down small trees and surfing across oceans. Unlikes TMs, HMs cannot be forgotten unless you go to the Move Deleter, a man that can delete any move in your Pokemon's move set.

Both TMs and HMs can be used an infinite amount of times. Previous games made TMs one time use and HMs infinite use.

Here's the list of the TMs and HMs found in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. Locations are being updated with the Walkthrough.

HM Slaves

A common occurrence among experienced or competitive trainers are HM Slaves. What's an HM Slave? An HM Slave is a Pokemon who is used for nothing but Hidden Machines. Many players hate having Hidden Machines on their Pokemon, seeing as how they can only have four moves at a time, so they get one or two Pokemon to use all the HMs themselves.

Who are the good HM Slaves? Rufflet is a good Pokemon to hold Fly, Cut, and Strength. Unfortunately, Rufflet is a White 2 exclusive Pokemon. The Black 2 exclusive Pokemon, Vullaby, can hold all the same except Strength.

As for the others, Psyduck and Frillish are great Pokemon to hold Surf, Waterfall, Dive, and Flash (Not an HM, but once was, and is used in the field). Psyduck can also use Strength.

However, Bibarel, being Normal-Water type, is easily the most useful HM slave as it can learn every 5th generation HM except for fly.

Move Dex

The Move Dex will be a collection of all Attacks (or Moves) that can be found on all Pokemon in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. For beginner information on Attacks, see the Attacks page.

Move Dex Style Guide

Each page will be modeled after the free 3DS App "Pokedex 3D."

Here is an example of how each page should be set up. In this example, the move Aerial Ace will be used. Feel free to copy and paste the example onto another page while changing the info. Remember to copy from the Mark-Up Section, not the Rich Text Editor!

Aerial Ace is a Flying, physical attack that will never miss the target, no matter the accuracy of the user or evasion of the target.

Type Flying Kind Physical

Power 60 PP 20

Accur. N/A DA Yes

Range Normal Long Yes

Description of Each Section

Most of this information is pretty easy to understand. Although, the last area may be a bit confusing. Here is a quick description of it all.

Summary: A quick summary of the attack.Type: The Element the move uses.Kind: The Kind of Attack each move is. It can be Physical, Special, or Status.Power: The Base Power of each move. This is not the amount of HP that will be taken off!Accur.: The Accuracy of each move. If the move never fails or is a Status Move, you'll see N/A.PP: The Power Points each move has. Basically the amount of times a move can be used. 20 PP means you can use the move 20 times, unless the opponent has Pressure.Range: The Range of the move when used in multi-battles. The range of a move can vary greatly. Refer to the table below if needed. Your team would be 1, 2, and 3. The opponent's team will be A, B, and C:

1 Ally - The Move is used on one of your team's Pokemon (1, 2, or 3).Adjacent - The move hits all Pokemon around the user. If the Pokemon is at 1, it will hit A, B, and 2. If the Pokemon is at 2, it will hall all others. An example in this case is Surf.Both Sides - The move hits all Pokemon on your team and the other team (A-C and 1-3). An example in this case is Earthquake.Many Others - The move hits multiple Pokemon on the opponenet's team. If the user is at 1, it will hit A and B. If the user is at 2, it will hit A, B, and C. An example in this case is Icy WInd.

Normal - The move hits one target. If also a long range move, it can hit any target in a triple battle from any position. An example is Thunderbolt.Other Side - The move only affects the Pokemon on the opposing team. An example in this case is Fire Blast.Self - The move is used on the user. An example is Recover.Self, Ally - The move is used on the user and one Pokemon on your team. An example is Reflect.Varies - The move can hit anyone. An example is Thrash.Your Party - The move is used on all Pokemon on your team (in battle or in Pokeballs). An example in this case is Wide Guard.Your Side - The move is used on all Pokemon on your team (in battle only). An example is Light Screen.

A B C

1 2 3

Long: Long means long range. This stat should only be taken into account when in 3 on 3 battles. If your pokemon is set up in position 1 (refer to table above), most attacks will not to be able to hit opposing Pokemon set up in position C (same goes for 3 and A). The attacks that have a "Yes" under Long are the exceptions. An example in this case is Dragon Pulse (a "Yes").DA: DA means Direct Attack. Some moves will attack a Pokemon directly, and some won't. Despite common belief, not all Physical Attacks hit directly. This is relevant when using certain Pokemon with certain Abilities. The Static Ability may cause Paralysis when a Pokemon Directly Attacks the Static Pokemon. An example in this case is Body Slam.

Move Teachers

Move Teachers have become common in Pokemon games. There are three different types of Teachers: Move Tutors, Move Deleter, and Move Reminder.

Move Tutors

Move Tutors are NPCs that will teach specific Pokemon a certain move.

The first two at the Pokemon World Tournament can only be taught to starter Pokemon from all regions. The one on the left can be taught at any time, while the one on the right requires your Pokemon to have high Happiness.

Move Deleter

The Move Deleter is an NPC that will remove any attack your Pokemon knows. It's really only useful when trying to remove Hidden Machines.

Location: Pokemon World Tournament

Move Reminder

The Move Reminder is an NPC that will teach your Pokemon any move it has already learned or passed up in its leveling. They will not do this for free, however. You must give up one Heart Scale.

This is very useful if you place a Pokemon in the Day Care where it can forget moves. The Move Reminder can also teach your Pokemon special powerful moves that may say "Level 1" in the Pokedex when already evolved. An example is Samurott learning Megahorn.

Rare Pokemon

Not all Pokemon are created equal. In fact, there are some Pokemon that appear only once in the entire game. Then there are Pokemon that some trainers will never see in the entire lives -- that's why we call them Rare Pokemon! Rare Pokemon only appear if Tall Grass is shaking, you have the correct items or get to a certain point in the game. Always, save before fighting a legendary/rare pokemon! How to Get Rare Pokemon

Fossil Pokemon

Pokémon have been around for a very long time. Some Pokemon existed many years ago, but became extinct over time. Like any other extinct animals, they were discovered through Fossils. In Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, you can take these special fossils to the Museum in Nacrene City to revive the Pokemon.

Talk to the woman at the right counter at the entrance to revive your fossil. You must have an open slot in your party to receive the newly revived Pokemon. Make sure to save before giving the fossil to get the right Nature and Individual Values. All revived Pokemon will be at Level 25.

Archen and Tirtouga

The two fossil Pokemon of the Unova region are Archen and Tirtouga. The first time you visit the Nacrene City Museum, you will be given a Plume Fossil or a Cover Fossil from Lenora. Choose which ever one you like.

Other Fossils

Seven other fossil Pokemon from the Kanto/Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions can be found in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. To get these fossils, talk to a man in one of the lower caves of Twist Mountain. Once a day, he will give you one fossil at random.

Shiny Pokemon

If you've been playing Pokemon for awhile now, you must have heard of the elusive Shiny Pokemon. If not, we're here to help you out.

Every now and then you may come across different colored or "shiny" pokemon. They obtained the name "shiny pokemon" back in the Pokemon Gold & Silver days when they were first introduced. Every time one of these Pokemon appear, shiny sparkles flash right next to them. Some Shiny Pokemon aren't that easily recognizable unless you see the sparkle when they enter the battlefield. Their color may be a slight tint from their original color. Other Pokemon may be an entirely different color than normal.

Once caught, you will be know to be the best person ever so start catchen em!

Shiny Pokemon are very rare and can be found randomly in the wild. The chances of running into a shiny Pokemon is 1 in 8192! If you see one, make sure you catch it! Other than the color and sparkles, there is nothing special about them. Some Pokemon trainers will be willing to trade some more valuable pokemon for lesser shiny Pokemon based on the rarity.

Methods for Obtaining Shiny Pokemon Easily

Shining Charm

Once you have seen every Pokémon from all regions (649), you get a key item known as the Shining Charm. This raises the ratio to 3 in 8196, or approximately 1 in 2371.

Masuda Method

If you have two Pokémon from two different language versions in one game, you can breed them and raise the ratio to 1 in 1366, or 1 in 1024 with the Shining Charm. This does not work with the in-game international Pokémon obtained in Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver; you have to trade with another real person for it to count.

Dratini or Gible

After defeating Banjirou at Black Tower or White Treehollow, travel to Alder's House in Floccesy Town. There, Benga will give you a Shiny Gible if you're playing Pokemon Black 2, or a Shiny Dratini if you're playing Pokemon White 2. Both Pokemon will be at Level 1 and holding an EXP. Share.

Haxorus

After seeing all Pokemon in the Unova Pokedex (the four Event Legends do not count), talk to Professor Juniper. She will give you a special Key Item called a Permit. Take this item to the Cargo Service in Mistralton City. They will fly you to a special place called Nature Preserve. A ShinyHaxorus can be found here, among other Pokemon. The Nature, Ability, Gender, and Individual Values will be random.

Legendary Pokemon

Legendary Pokemon are special, one of a kind Pokemon that can be found in game. Most of the time you'll hear the characters in the game telling stories about these Pokemon. The stories and the rarity is what makes them Legendary.

These Pokemon are usually very strong and extremely hard to catch. If you have trouble catching a Legendary Pokemon, view the tips below.

Catching Legendary Pokemon

Legendary Pokemon are among the hardest Pokemon to capture in any game. We'll try to prevent you from smashing your (3)DS with a few tips on catching these Legendary Beasts.

Save Your Game

Most Legendary Pokemon are stationary on the map. You can walk up to them and interact with them to initiate the battle. Before doing so, SAVE YOUR GAME. If you really want to catch a Legendary Pokemon, you should save your game before attempting it. You may accidentally make the Pokemon faint or you may get knocked out by going easy on the guy. You might even run out of Pokeballs.

Buy a Ton of Poke Balls

There are many Poke Balls out there that can help you catch a Legendary Pokemon. Ultra Balls may be an obvious choice, but those things still may make it hard on you. If the battle is going on for some time, which it probably will, you can always use a Timer Ball to help out. If it's night, or you're in a cave, using a Dusk Ball will increase your chances a ton.

Note: There are two Master Balls in Black 2 and White 2. One is given in Mistralton City, and the other is given at the Plasma Frigate at the P2 Laboratory. If needed, use them for Kyurem and either Zekrom or Reshiram.

Learn False Swipe

The Attack False Swipe is a valuable move which will reduce a Pokemon's HP to 1 if it would have otherwise caused a Pokemon to faint. If you use it again, it will cause the Pokemon to faint. False Swipe can be taught to a Pokemon from TM54, found at Reversal Mountain.

Inflict Status Effects

The Pokemon's HP is at 1 and it still won't be captured?! Inflict a Status Effect on it. The most valuable Status Effects are Sleep and Paralysis. Place one of these on the beast with 1 HP and you may have a shot at catching it.

The Legendary Pokemon

The following Legendary Pokemon can be found in Black 2 and White 2. Detailed information coming.

Black / White Dragon LegendsZekrom - Dragonspiral Tower (Black 2)Reshiram - Dragonspiral Tower (White 2)

Kyurem

Kyurem is the main Legendary Pokemon of Black 2 and White 2. It can be captured and used as regular Kyurem, or it can be merged with Zekrom or Reshiram to make Black Kyurem or White Kyurem. To get Kyurem you must first catch Zekrom or Reshiram from Dragonspiral Tower. See more about that below. After capturing one of them, go to the North-most cave in Giant Chasm to find Kyurem. After catching Kyurem, you will find a special item that allows you to merge Kyurem with Zekrom or

Reshiram.

Zekrom and Reshiram

Zekrom and Reshiram were originally the main legends of Pokemon Black and White, but in Black 2 and White 2, they are more like secondary legends to be merged with Kyurem. The story goes, Zekrom and Reshiram were once one Legendary Dragon Pokemon owned by twin trainers. The twin trainers didn't see eye to eye, so the Pokemon split into two, which became Zekrom and Reshiram.

Zekrom and Reshiram can only be found in one version of these Pokemon games. Zekrom is found in Black 2, and Reshiram is found in White 2. In both games, N owns this Legendary Pokemon. After defeating the Pokemon League, visit N's Castle to find and battle N. He will turn either Reshiram or Zekrom into the Dark Stone or Light Stone and give it to you. Take this stone to the top of Dragonspiral Tower to capture it.

Accumula Town is a small town located in South Eastern Unova. It connects to Route 2 in the North West and Route 1 in the South East.

Pokemon Show and Tell

There are three people in this town that want to see certain Pokemon:

One woman in the North East part of town wants to see a really tall Pokemon. She'll be standing at the top part of town. Show her a tall Pokemon to receive a Fluffy Tail. Common Pokemon would be Onix, Gyarados, Wailord, and Milotic.

One woman in the house to the North East wants to see a Kricketune.

One boy in the low South West part of town wants to see a really short Pokemon. Common Pokemon would be Foongus, Azurill, and Tynamo. Show him the right Pokemon to receive a Poke Doll.

North West House

The building in the North West part of town contains two items on the second floor. Talk to the man to receive Ten Poke Balls. The woman on the same floor will give you a quiz on your starter Pokemon. Get it right to receive a Gem based on your starter's Type. Get it wrong to get a different Gem. They are Fire, Water, and Grass Gems.

North House

To the right of the last house is another house with an item. Head up to the second floor to receive a Balm Mushroom.

South West House

The final important location in town is the house to the South West. Inside is a woman who will offer two separate trades. At the first trade, she will battle you with the Pokemon you traded her. Win the battle to get a second trade offer.

See the In-Game Trades page for more info on the trades.

Trade 1The girl will offer an Ambipom for your Excadrill. If you don't have any Excadrill, you can find one in many caves all over Unova. They appear in the dust clouds that pop up from time to time. Like most other trades in the game, Ambipom is a very rare Pokemon for this region.

TradeThe girl will offer an Alakazam for your Hippowdon. Hippowdon aren't normally found in the Wild in Unova. Either wait for an Outbreak in Desert Resort, or transfer one over from Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum. Like most other trades in the game, Alakazam is a very rare Pokemon for this region.

There's nothing left to do in Accumula. Head South to Route 1.

Anville Town


Anville Town is a small town that can only be reached through the Battle Subway in Nimbasa City. Take the Brown Train to reach it.

This is a small town with only three houses. Enter the house on the bottom right to find a lone man. Talk to the man to get a Rare Candy. After battling many times in the Battle Subway, this man will give you more items, like Nutrient Drinks. The max amount is ten.

Every weekend, many NPCs will come to this town to trade items. Examples are a star piece for a PP Up, 10 Poke Balls for a Full Restore, or two escape ropes for a revive.

Aspertia City

Wild Pokemon

Pokémon Area





Aspertia City (Japanese Name: Hiougi City ????) is the first city you start in. It can be found in the South West area of Unova. Route 19 is North of the City.

Start

The game starts out in Aspertia City. Choose the gender and name of your character, then name your Rival. Since any name can be applied, we will use "Rival" in this Walkthrough.

Get Your Starter Pokémon

You will start out in your home in the South Eastern part of town. Exit out of your house to meet up with your Rival. You can enter all the buildings here except for the Pokémon Center and the GYM.

Head to the town overlook at the North Eastern part of the city. At the top is Professor Juniper's assistant, Bianca. She will have three Pokémon. You may want to save before talking to her if you want to get the right Nature or a starter with decent Individual Values, if that's your thing. If you can't decide on which Pokémon to get, view the Choosing a Starter Pokemon page to make the decision a bit easier.

Choose a Pokémon and -- if you want -- give it a Nickname. Directly after that, Bianca will give you your Pokedex! It's a device used to record how many Pokémon you've seen and captured. It will also

tell you where Pokémon live, but only if you have already seen that particular Pokémon.

After getting your starter, your Rival will battle you with a Pokémon he raised from an Egg. This Pokémon will have a Type that has an advatage over yours. Choose Snivy, he'll have Tepig. Choose Tepig, he'll have Oshawott. Choose Oshawott, he'll have Snivy. Now it's time for your first Pokémon battle, starters vs starters.

Rival Battle

This battle will be simple. All starters know two moves - a damaging move and a stat reducing move. No potions or items will be available, so fight wisely. Win the battle to reach Level 6 with your Pokemon and earn $500.

After the battle, Bianca will show you a few need to know things. She will lead you to the Pokémon Center and tell you all about healing your Pokémon, buying items, and using the PC. Buy a Potion or two if you like. Bianca will give you 10 Poké Balls after the brief tutorial!

Before leaving the Pokémon Center you can talk to the people around the Center. Talk to the girl near the waiting area to find out what your Pokémon's Nature is.

MemoryTalk to the person in the red bandanna to see a Memory of N at Chargestone Cave.

Exit out of the center for more free items. Your mother and your rival's sister will walk up to you and give you the Town Map and Running Shoes!

When you're all ready to go, head North to Route 19.


After learning Surf, return to the pond near your house. Surf across the pond to find TM53 - Energy Ball.


After defeating the Pokemon League, the credits will roll. Start up the game again to find yourself in Aspertia City. Your Pokedex will be upgraded to the National Dex by Cedric Juniper, and you will receive a Max Revive from your mother.

Black City is a town in Eastern Unova. It connects Route 14 in the North to Route 15 in the South West. This town is only available in Pokemon Black 2, unless you are given a special Key from White 2 to change the town.

Black Tower

To the North is Black Tower, a battle facility that is only opened after visiting Alder's House in Floccesy Town. See the Black Tower page for more info.

Southern Shop

South of Black Tower are two buildings. One of the buildings will have four counters, like a shop. Nothing will be available at first, but after defeating areas of Black Tower, the shops will start selling items for different prices.

Booth 1 - Beat Area 2Booth 2 - Beat Area 5Booth 3 - Beat Area 8Booth 4 - Beat Area 10

These items will change on the weekend to a secondary item. Only one item can be bought at each of the shops every day -- four items total a day.

Castelia City

Wild Pokemon

Pokemon Area






Eevee Grass



Pidove Grass

Rattata Grass



Castelia City is an extremely large city located in Southern Unova. It has five piers, four paths in the middle of the city, and one path in the North part of the city. Technically, a few wild Pokemon can be found in the city, but the location of the grass can only be reached through Castelia Sewers, which is found on the pier on the far right.

Castelia City is also home to the third Gym Badge in Unova.

There are many areas that connect with Castelia City. North of the City is Route 4, East is Sky Arrow Bridge, South East is Castelia Sewers, and South are two boats on two piers. The far left pier takes you to Liberty Garden, and the next pier over takes you to Virbank City.

Since the city is so big, it will be broken down into sections for easy navigation.

Southern Docks / Piers

Prime Pier

Get off the boat and walk to the bottom right of the pier, there you'll find a Heart Scale. This pier is the central pier of the five, known as Prime Pier. Walk North to the city to obtain the Bicycle from a clown.

Unity Pier

The pier to the left of the central pier is called Unity Pier. It has a woman standing in the middle. Talk to her to receive the Destiny Knot.

If you've traded with a player from a different country, the ship at Unity Pier will take you to Unity Tower.

Liberty Pier

The pier to the far left is called Liberty Pier. A boat on this pier will take you to Liberty Garden.

Cruise Dock

The pier on the mid-right has a ship called the Royal Unova. It will leave once a day at evening time. To go on board, you must pay $1000. Talk to everyone on board for more Pokemon Battles.

Thumb Pier

The pier on the far right is called Thumb Pier. It takes you to Castelia Sewers, but the entrance will be inaccessible until you visit the Gym.

There are three buildings in the Southern area of Castelia City. The Pokemon Center is on the right, The Pokemon Battle Company is in the middle, and the Passerby Analytics HQ is on the left.

Head to the Pokemon Center if you need to stock up on some items. The only new item at this time is the Nest Ball, but more items will become available after earning the next badge.

The Passerby Analytics HQ isn't really important. The main thing to do is answer questions and get sub-par items. It'd be much easier to spend that time playing the game and earning money to buy those same items.

Enter the tunnel to the East. The tunnel usually connects to Sky Arrow Bridge, but it will be blocked off for awhile. Talk to a woman inside to receive the Quick Claw.

Now you can visit the Pokemon Battle Company. It's on a separate page to save space.

Castelia Street

The street on the far right side of Castelia City is called Castelia Street. This street has two main buildings worth visiting.

Game Freak

The Game Freak Building is on a separate page to save space.

Building Opposite Game Freak

The only thing this building has is a Technical Machine. Talk to the woman on the 11th floor to obtain TM44 - Rest.

Mode Street

The next street to visit is the middle-right street, known as Mode Street. There are two things to do here.

Ice Cream Stand

The Ice Cream Stand sells Casteliacones for 100 each. These ice creams will heal any status problem on a Pokemon. The only downside is you can only buy ice cream once a day. Furthermore, you can only buy one cone or twelve cones that one time a day. For that price, stock up on twelve!

Studio Castelia

There's not much to do in this art studio. If you talk to the man in the corner, he'll ask to see a certain Type of Pokemon. The type will change from day to day. Show him the type he asks for to earn a few Berries.

Narrow Street

The middle-left street is an alleyway called Narrow Street. Walk down the alley and a man will stop and talk to you. After the conversation, he'll give you TM70 - Flash.

Look on the right side of the alley for a door into Cafe Sonata.

Cafe Sonata

Talk to the bartender to obtain a Moo Moo Milk. If you have Meloetta in your party, you can teach it Relic Song here. Teaching it Relic Song allow it to change into a new form while in battle.

Gym Street

The far left street has two areas, one being the city's GYM.

Building on Top left

This building on the left side of the street holds a few important things.

There is a woman in the lobby who will massage your Pokemon for free. Massaging your Pokemon increases the Friendship of that Pokemon. If you don't know much about Friendship, see that page.

The Name Rater is also found in the lobby. This man will change the nicknames of your Pokemon. Unfortunately, you cannot change the names of Pokemon who have been traded to your game.

The second floor is the Medal office. The people here will tell you all you need to know about Medals.

The third floor of the building has Amanita, the person who fixed the Pokemon PC in Unova (since Bill supposedly created the System in Kanto). Talk to her to learn about the Boxes, Battle Box, and Pal Pad.

Also in the room is Fennel, the Pokemon Researcher. Her assistants will tell you all about the Pokemon Dream World.

Gift PokemonAfter defeating the Pokemon League, talk to one of Amanita to receive an Eevee at Level 10. This Eevee will have its Rare Ability, Adaptability. Make sure to save before accepting the trade. The

Nature and Stats of the Eevee will vary. For more information, see the page: Gift Pokemon

Northern Area

Before going into the sidequest involving the GYM, head to the Northern Area of Castelia City. Near the fountain is a man who will give you the Funfest Mission "Train with Martial Artists!"

North of the fountain has three buildings.

The building on the right is a place where people speak many different languages. Go up to the 47th floor and talk to a woman to the left. She will give you TM45 - Attract.

The building on the left has a man in the lobby who will give you an Amulet Coin. The 11th floor has nothing of importance.

The other building on the right side of the street (further up ahead) has a man who will give you an Eviolite if you've seen 40 different Pokemon. Head up to the 47th floor to obtain a Charcoal. This floor also has a man who will tell you the importance of each of the eight GYM Badges.

Gym

Before you can challenge the Gym Leader, you will have to do a small side task. Talk to the man standing in front of the Gym doors. A girl name Iris will come by and talk to you about the task that needs to be done. Follow her to the Pier on the far Right; your Rival will join the two of you for this particular side quest. From there, head into the Castelia Sewers.

Driftveil City is located in Western Unova. Four paths connect with the city: Driftveil Drawbridge is to the East, Route 6 is to the North West, the Pokemon World Tournament is to the South, and Clay Tunnel is located to the North.

When you first get off Driftveil Drawbridge, use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Ultra Ballbefore the bridge into town.

Cross the bridge to find Team Plasma. They won't battle you, so don't worry. Follow the street West into town, then North to find the Pokemon Center.

Pokemon Center

Heal up your Pokemon and grab any Medals you may have earned.

The Pokemon Center has a new Poke Ball available for sale. After defeating the GYM, two more items will also become available.

Talk to the woman at the top left part of the center. She'll hand over Three Luxury Balls. These balls make newly caught Pokemon more Friendly towards you.

Driftveil City has many buildings around town. Each building has something useful inside.

Driftveil Continental Hotel

Walk two buildings to the right from the Pokemon Center to find Driftveil Continental Hotel.

Nothing can be found in the lobby nor on the 23rd Floor. Use the elevator to reach the 25th floor. Talk to a man on the on that floor to obtain the Big Root.

Exit out of the building and head South to a small alleyway. A Calcium can be found here.

Driftveil Chateau Hotel

Cross the main road to the West part of Driftveil. The Driftveil Chateau Hotel can be found to the left of the Pokemon Center, just across the road.

Talk to a man inside the lobby. This man is actually a Move Tutor. For Red Shards, he'll teach one Pokemon in your party a move, if that Pokemon can learn the move.

After you're down with the move tutor, use the Elevator to reach the 25th floor. There is nothing on the 11th floor, so you might as well skip it. Talk to an old man on the 25th floor to obtain an Air Balloon. It's a one time use item that makes a Pokemon immune to Ground type attacks.

Exit out of the building and head South to find a Market.

Market

The Pokemon Center isn't the only place to get items in Driftveil. A Market can be found on the West side of town.

Enter the market and talk to the man on the top right counter. If you have a Level 30 Pokemon, he will give you an Expert Belt. This item increases the power of super effective moves by 20%.

The bottom right merchant has many cheap medicinal items, but do not buy any of them. They are all bitter items that your Pokemon will hate!

To the left of the Market is a Team Plasma Merchant who sells Incense.

Grand Hotel Driftveil

From the market, walk across the street to the right to find the Grand Hotel Driftveil. Talk to the bald man in the lobby to obtain the Shell Bell, as long as you've seen 70 or more Pokemon. Nothing of interest can be found on the 14th or 19th floors.

Driftveil Luxury Suites

At the South West part of town is the Driftveil Luxury Suites. Talk to a girl inside the lobby and show her a Pokemon that knows a specific move. If you have that Pokemon, she'll give you a Heart Scale.

Take the elevator up to the 23rd floor. The 19th floor has nothing of interest, so avoid it. Talk to a man on the 23rd floor to obtain the Everstone.

Ex-Team Plasma HQ

Next, head far North. A house can be found on top of a hill. Ex-Team Plasma and Rood (A former Sage) will be stationed here. Talk to them at the door to battle the sage.

The last thing to do is challenge the Driftveil City GYM to the East.


After you defeat the Pokemon League, return to Driftveil City for two matters.

The cave to the North will now be open. This cave is called Clay Tunnel, and it connects to two other caves.

The second matter involves your Rival. After defeating him in Undella Town after the Pokemon League, face him one final time in Team Plasma's Headquarters. To see his full team, see the Rival page.

Floccesy Town is the second town you'll visit. It is located in the South West area of Unova. The South Western path connects with Route 19. The North Eastern path connects with Route 20.

First Visit

Enter the town to find Alder again. He'll talk to you a bit and wait at the North part of town. Heal your Pokemon at the Pokemon Center and buy any items if needed.

Visit the house to the right of the Pokemon Center to find three people inside. Talk to the man on the right to obtain a Potion.

Head North to Alder. You can talk to the people in town, but it's not necessary. Alder will block the path to his house at the North West part of town. He wants you to give your Rival the Town Map, first.

WARNING: Your Rival will battle you at the Ranch and there are Trainers on the way there, so be prepared!

Return from the Ranch (Alder's House)

After dealing with Floccesy Ranch, return to Floccesy Town. The path to Alder's House will now be open in the North West. Enter the house and battle two trainers.

After the trainers, exit the house to receive the Medal Box from a man.

Pledge Grove

The path further North takes you to an isolated area near Floccesy Town called Pledge Grove. If you happen to have a Keldeo, interact with the big mountain in the back. This is where you can teach it the special move Secret Sword.

After Obtaining the Basic Badge

Near Alder's place, Bianca will stop you and give your Pokedex an upgrade with the "Habitat List." This allows you to see all the Pokemon in the area, if you've already seen them, of course.

Humilau City is the hometown of the eighth, and final, Unova GYM badge. It's located in the far North Eastern part of Unova. Route 21 is located to the South of the city, and Route 22 is located to the North West.

To reach Humilau, you can travel North of Undella Bay, or you can take the simple path through Marine Tube.

When you enter through Marine Tube, you will start out in the South East part of the city. The Pokemon Center and Humilau City Gym are located directly to the West; however, the GYM Leader will not be in the GYM at this time.

Visit the rest of the town to the North after healing your Pokemon. The entire town is set alongside docks.

The town is basically built around three docks. The first dock you start on wraps to the North East part of town. The second dock almost forms a circle in the middle of town. The third dock is a short dock to the North West part of town.

Eastern Dock

When you walk North towards the rest of the town, Marlon, the GYM Leader, will come out of the water and talk to you. He'll now be available at the GYM. Before going there, head into town.

The first house to the North holds another Move Tutor. He'll teach your Pokemon select moves for Yellow Shards.

Bind2 Yellow Shards













Exit out of the house and follow the dock to the end in the North. Walk down into the shallow water to find a Heart Scale to the right. Bring out your Dowsing Machine to find a second Heart Scale hidden under the dock to the left.

To reach the next dock, walk South West in the shallow water.

Middle Dock

The middle dock forms a sort of circle. Two houses are connected to it. Nothing of interest can be found in the Northern house, but the Southern house will have a man who is willing to trade Pokemon. Trade your Mantine for his Tangrowth. Mantine are very rare Pokemon in the wild. It is possible to find one while surfing on Route 21, but you'd have a much easier time fishing for one. Mantyke, the pre-evolved form of Mantine, is far easier to find, but the only way to evolve one is to level it up with a Remoraid in your party. Remoraids are about as rare as Mantines themselves. North East of the man who wants to trade Pokemon is a hidden Full Restore.

The Old man in front of the trade house will give you the Funfest Mission "Memory Training!"

Walk South of the middle dock to the shallow water. Here, you can surf further South to find a Shell Bell behind the GYM.

Later (possibly after the Pokemon League) return to the Northern House in the middle dock. The lady will ask you to ring the bell at Celestial Tower. Do it and return here to receive a Revive.

Next, walk to the third and final dock to the North West part of town.

North Western Dock

Only one house is connected to this dock. Inside is an old lady who will let you walk her Pokemon around the house. You won't be able to leave the house with her Pokemon, so don't even try. Check with Mienfoo until it says he walks light. When that's done, talk to the lady to receive a Pearl.

To the East of the house is a Protein at the end of the dock. To the West is Route 21. Before going there, challenge the Humilau City Gym.

Icirrus City is a large, marsh-like city in North Western Unova. It's connected to Route 8 in the North East, Dragonspiral Tower in the North West, and Twist Mountain in the South West.

When you first enter the city, heal up at the Pokemon Center. Do not attempt to cross the bridge to the East side of town for an item.

Pokemon Center

The Pokemon Center has the usual items at the counters. Talk to the woman on the left side of the center to obtain a Black Belt.

The man near the counter that heals your Pokemon is known as a Maniac. He will buy various ores from you for a high price. This includes valuable items like Nuggets, Star Pieces, Star Dust, Comet Shards, Pearls, and a few other gems and stones. The other gems and stones actually have uses, like Thunderstones and Fire Gems, but the other items have no use other than being sold.

Shadow Triad Ambush

The item the Shadow Triad blocked is a PP Up.

South of the city are a few marshes and ponds. If it's winter, the marshes will freeze over, removing all wild Pokemon. Other than that and the way to Twist Mountain, there's nothing of use.

North of the Pokemon Center are a few buildings. First, to the West of the center is a Max Elixir. You may not be able to get it unless it's the right season. North of the item is the Pokemon Fan Club.

Pokemon Fan Club

The Pokemon Fan Club is the building North West of the Pokemon Center. The Woman inside the building will tell you how friendly your Pokemon are towards you.

The old man will give you several items for showing him several Pokemon that were raised from low levels. These items are Cleanse Tag, Experience Share, and King's Rock.

Quiz House

The house to the far North East of town is the quiz house. Each day the man in the house will ask you a Pokemon related question. Pick the right answer through a huge list of words to win an Antidote. If you get it wrong, the consolation prize is a Paralyz Heal. You can skip this house if you want.

Icirrus City GYM

The building to the far North West of town was the Icirrus City GYM. Since you already earned all eight GYM badges, you won't be able to challenge the GYM Leader, Brycen. You can still find him at the back of the GYM. Talk to him to hear about his thoughts. After a bit of dialogue, he'll leave the GYM.

Memory

If you used the Memory Link, Brycen will tell you about the day he went back to the movies and Alder resigned as Champion.

To Dragonspiral Tower

The North part of town leads out to Dragonspiral Tower. If it's Winter, you'll be able to climb on top of the GYM and grab a NeverMeltIce. Technically, that part is Dragonspiral Tower.

Lacunosa Town is a small town located in North Eastern Unova. It's connected to Route 13 in the East and Route 12 in the West.

The first time you visit Lacunosa, Professor Juniper and Bianca will stop and escort you to a house. There, you will exchange a few words with an old lady. No Spoilers!

After the dialogue, head to the Pokemon Center to heal your Pokemon. Three new TMs will be available at the bottom merchant. These TMs and very powerful, but not too accurate, attacks: Blizzard, Thunder, and Fire Blast.

Exit out of the Center and head up the stairs to the upper part of town. A Full Heal can be found on the South West part.

Walk all the way to the North East part of town to find a house on the upper area. Inside is a Metronome sitting out in the open. Talk to the businessman in the middle of the house each night to receive a Random Berry. These berries usually have no use other than being sold to the maid on Route 5, but there may be useful ones from time to time.

Everything in town is cleared. Head to the Route 12 to the West. Before you can enter the route, your Rival will stop you. A Double Battle will commence with you and your Rival vs Team Plasma.

Lentimas Town is an extremely small town in Eastern Unova. It's a new town in Pokemon Black 2 / White 2, so the English name is not yet known.

To get to Lentimas Town, talk to Skyla in Mistralton City's Shipping Center. She will offer to fly you to Lentimas.

To the North of Town is a small path behind a few buildings. A Fire Stone can be found there.

Pokemon Center

Mistralton City is a small city and shipping center located in Western Unova. To the South is Chargestone Cave, and to the North East is Route 7.

Pokemon Center

Enter the Pokemon Center to deal with your Pokemon. This Pokemon Center doesn't sell unique Poke Balls at the right counter like other Pokemon Centers. Instead, it sells four Weather based Technical Machines.

Explore The City

Exit out of the Center and visit the house to the right. Talk to the woman inside to receive an HP Upfor having an impressive collection of TMs. When you get more, she'll give you another item -- most likely another HP Up.

Head North into town to find Professor Juniper. After a bit of dialogue, she'll hand over the Master Ball. This ball can catch any Pokemon 100% of the time! You may want to save it for later. The Professor will also be with the GYM Leader of Mistralton City. She'll be waiting for you at the GYM when you're ready.

The house to the North has a boy, girl, and Ducklett. Talk to them after defeating Skyla to bring up an item at the end of the runway to the West.

Next, visit the Mistralton Cargo Service on the West side of town to get two items. Talk to the person in the middle of the building to obtain a Sharp Beak. Next, talk to the person behind the North East counter. If you have a Flying or Psychic type Pokemon, the man will give you Five Net Balls.

Runway

To the West of the City is a long runway. North of the runway is Mistralton City GYM.

All the way South of the runway is a small field with plants. If it's Autumn of Winter, there will be tents here. A Max Repel can be found towards the bottom. An NPC can also be found above the top right plants. This man will buy any Mulch you may have on you.

East of the runway is TM58 - Sky Drop next to a parked plane.

West of the plane is a backpacker girl. Talk to her to receive the Funfest Mission "Big Harvest of Berries!"

Use your Dowsing Machine further North between the two planes. A hidden Flying Gem can be found here.

Now challenge the Mistralton City Gym or level up some more at Route 7.

After defeating the Gym and talking with the people in town with the Ducklett, TM40 - Aerial Ace will appear.

Return After Lentimas

MemoryAfter traveling to Lentimas Town, fly back to Mistralton City. Walk to the Gym to find Skyla standing in front of the door. If you used the Memory Link, you'll see a flashback between Skyla and Elesa. They even threw in an Airplane! (the movie) joke.

Return Later

After seeing all Unova Pokemon, not counting Event Legends, get the Permit from Professor Juniper to fly from the Mistralton Cargo Service to Nature Preserve.

When you first enter Nacrene City, heal up at the Pokemon Center, like usual. Nothing special can be found inside, but if you walk all the way West to the train tracks, you can find a hidden PP Up. Use the Dowsing Machine to locate it.

House West of PC

The house to the West of the Pokemon Center has two things of interest. One is the fourth Shard Move Tutor in the game. Give him Green Shards to teach eligible Pokemon new moves.

The man to the left of these two will sell Battle Items.

Nacrene City GYM

The next location to visit in Nacrene City is the GYM, which is also a Museum and Library. Like the GYM in Icirrus City, you will not be able to challenge the GYM Leader.

If you had visited Cave of Being at an earlier time, you will run into Uxie at the front of the GYM. Save your game before interacting with it.

Legendary Pokemon

Uxie will only come after visiting Cave of Being. Save your game to ensure capture.

The first part of the GYM is the Museum. The counter on the right will revive any Fossils you may have received from Twist Mountain. There must be an empty slot in your party to receive the Pokemon. Save before receiving the fossil to get the right Nature and Individual Values.

When you walk further into the museum, a scientist will stop and talk to you. After a bit of dialogue, the GYM Leader Lenora will come by and offer you a Cover Fossil or Plume Fossil. The Cover Fossil will revive a Tirtouga, while the Plume Fossil revives an Archen.

Look around the Museum if you like. If you have a Deoxys, you can transform it here by investigating a meteorite with bacteria in the back left corner of the museum.

MemoryIf you used the Memory Link, Lenora will share a memory with you at the top of the stairs.

When you're done with the fossils, head to Route 3 in the East. Inside the route house is a girl with a green visor. Talk to her to receive a Pokemon Egg. Of course, you will need an open slot in your party to receive the egg. Eventually, it will hatch into the rare Pokemon Happiny.

Nimbasa City is a large city in central Unova. There are three routes that connect to Nimbasa City: South is Route 4, North East is Route 16, and North West is Route 5.

Nimbasa City is also home to the fourth GYM Badge of Unova.

When you arrive in the city, head to the Pokemon Center to heal up your Pokemon and collect any new Medals. Talk to the man next to the counter to receive Ten Red Shards. No new items are available from the left (top) clerk at the Pokemon Center, but the right clerk will sell four TMs. Walk around the outside of the Pokemon Center until you reach one step North of the sign. A hidden Thunderstone can be found here.

From the Pokemon Center, head North West to the two houses nearby. Enter the house on the right first. Upstairs is an NPC who will hand over a Sun Stone after talking to him. Next, enter the house on the left. Talk to the person inside to receive the Soothe Bell. This is a very useful item if you have Pokemon that level up through Friendship.

The house directly to the left (West) of the Pokemon Center is the Battle Institute. It will not be open until much later. See the Battle Institute page for more info.

Gear Station

Walk to the East until you reach the building to the right of the Pokemon Center. You may have noticed a trainer talking to two men. Talk to the trainer to start a double battle with the trainer. This trainer will be male if your character is female, and vice versa. Their Pokemon will be which ever Pokemon you or your did not choose as a starter. This is how you can figure out the true names of the Heroes.

Next, head to the Northern area of Nimbasa. There will be three buildings in the Northern Area. Two of the three have Trainers, and the third is a building just for fun. The three buildings -- from left to right -- are the Little Court, Big Stadium, and Music Hall.

For consolidation, Little Court and Big Stadium have their own pages.

Musical Theater

The third building in the North area of Nimbasa is the Musical Theater. This place is where Pokemon Musicals are held. Enter the building and a man will present you with the Prop Case. Place props on your Pokemon and enter them in contests. The only prizes for winning contests are more props. Pokemon Musicals aren't for everyone.

Before leaving, talk to the person to the right of the desk. They will hand over TM49 - Echoed Voice.

Routes

Before challenging the Nimbasa City GYM, you may want to train your Pokemon a bit more at Route 5 or Route 16.

Amusement Park

Head through the gates on the South East area of Nimbasa to find the Amusement Park. There are three important places in the Amusement Park: the Roller coaster (Old GYM), the Ferris Wheel, and the Nimbasa City GYM.

Once you enter the area, look South to find a Dropped Item. It's part of a long side quest. Click the item page for more info.

Head to the right (East) until you reach the older GYM from the first Pokemon Black and White. Before entering the GYM, search the trash can next to the vending machines to find a Revive.

Before you can challenge the Nimbasa GYM, you must clear out the old GYM.

Roller Coaster - Old GYM

The former GYM is exactly how it was before. If you remember it, this should be simple. Only two trainers can be found inside.

Enter the roller coaster car on the right side of the entrance area. Once it stops, exit out and step on the switch on the platform. Enter the same car from before, this time it will have a different path. Once the car reaches the next platform, exit out again and stand on the next switch. Wait for the next car. When it comes, a trainer will pop out and battle you.

To the right of the Roller coaster is the Ferris Wheel. Talk to the person in front of the Ferris Wheel to get on. Of course, you must first beat him/her in a Pokemon Battle. The trainer and Pokemon vary from day to day.

Continue to the right side of the Amusement Park until you see an Audino Balloon. Walk around the right side to find a Paralyz Heal. North is the Nimbasa City GYM.

Nuvema Town

The image is copyrighted and qualifies as fair use. [1] Nuvema Town is a small town located in South Eastern Unova. It is connected to Route 1 in the North.

This was the first town players start out in when playing the first Pokemon Black and White.

First, use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Zinc near the middle of town.

Former Hero's House

The house in the middle was the house of the main character. The woman inside will fully restore your Pokemon's health. Up stairs is a Kings Rock.

Bianca's House

The house in the South West is Bianca's house. There's nothing of interest in there.

Cheren's House

The house in the South East is Cheren's house. The man inside will give you a Berry Juice.

Professor Juniper's Lab

The final, and most important, building is Professor Juniper's Lab in the North West. Inside is both Professor Juniper and Cedric Juniper.

Talk to Cedric Juniper to receive a Super Rod. This will allow you to fish for Pokemon in any body of water around Unova. Cedric will also upgrade the Habitat section of your Pokedex to include Fishing

areas.

Talk to Professor Juniper to review your Pokedex. Depending on the outcome, you could receive some awesome items:

Name Pokedex Needed Description

Permit

Opelucid City is a town in Northern Unova. It's the city with the seventh GYM of Unova. Opelucid will vary in looks depending on which Pokemon version you're playing. In Black 2, the city looks very futuristic. In White 2, the city looks much more old-fashioned. However, the entire city is exactly the same between the two versions.

The city connects to two different routes: Route 14 is to the East and Route 9 is to the West.

The Pokemon Center is in the South East part of town. Take your Pokemon there to heal up and collect any Medals. Three special Poke Balls can be found here. The most important is the Timer Ball! This ball is a very powerful ball when used in long matches. It's probably best when trying to catch Legendary Pokemon. The longer the match, the stronger the ball.

Exit out of the Pokemon Center and enter the house to the North West. There's a little path that leads directly up to it. Two very special items can be found on the second floors. Talk to the football player to receive a Float Stone. Talk to the woman on the other side of the table to receive a Ring Target

The next important house is on the far West side of town. Enter the building and talk to the man on the ground floor. He'll give you more accessories for Pokemon Musicals.

Next, head to a building at the North part of town. Inside is a woman who will hand over a Smoke Ball.

The last important house may not be of much use to you right now. Head to a building just North of the Pokemon Center. A man with a ton of Tympoles will be on the second floor. If you happen to have a Tympole, his Tympoles will line up and sing for you. The only way to get a Tympole is to breed a Palpitoad or trade for one.

You can now either challenge the Opelucid City Gym or train a bit more and shop on Route 9.

After GYM

After defeating the GYM Leader, Drayden will exit out of the GYM. Follow him to his home. There, he will tell you the story about the three Dragon Pokemon. Some time later, he will teach any eligible Pokemon the move Draco Meteor.

After a bit of dialogue, Team Plasma will come and ruin everything.

The city will be covered in ice. Slide across the ice and challenge each of the Team Plasma grunts.

The South West part of town has a house with a girl who will play Rock, Paper, Scissors with you. No matter the outcome, you'll add the Funfest Mission "Rock-Paper-Scissors Competition!"

In the South East part of town is a man who will give Five Dusk Balls. He will be walking around the back side of a few buildings. The entrances to these buildings are located on the other side.

One of the houses contains an Up-Grade on the second floor. That was the house Fennel was doing her research in.

The house to the South of the last house contains a lady who will give a Great Ball when you talk to her.

Before heading to Route 2, go to the Dreamyard in the North East. Be prepared to catch a Legendary Pokemon.

Trainer's School

The building to the left of the Pokemon Center is the Pokemon Trainer School. A few things are taught here, but all of the info can be learned through this guide.

Talk to the kid near the top left desk to take a quick quiz. The answers should be Persim Berry and Confused. If you get the quiz right, you'll get a few Persim Berries.

The blue haired boy in the back right corner will challenge you to a Pokemon Battle after asking you a few questions. The answers should be yes, gravity, and mold breaker.

Icirrus City Gym can be found in the game, along with its Gym Leader Brycen, but he will not face you in a Pokemon Battle.Striaton City Gym can also be found in the game, along with its Gym Leaders, all which can be challenged.

Aspertia City Gym

The Aspertia City Gym is located to the left of the Pokemon Center. The first room is more like a Pokemon School instead of a Gym. Talk to the two kids near the chalk board to receive a X Defend. Head through the back door to find the Pokemon GYM.

The Aspertia City GYM uses Normal type Pokemon. They are weak against Fighting Types, which is why capturing Riolu earlier would have been a great idea. Luckily, they have no Type advantages.

When you enter the GYM, the Gym Guide, Clyde, will give you a Fresh Water. This man can be found at every Gym in Unova. Talk to him to get a few tips to each Gym.

Only two trainers can be found in this Gym. Defeat these two trainers to earn the right to fight Cheren. Talk to each trainer to start the battle.

Gym Leader Cheren

Cheren will fight with the same two Normal Pokemon that were in the other two trainer's teams However Cheren's team is a bit stronger. If one gets weak, he may use a Potion to heal it.

The special technique of this Gym is Work Up. Work Up is a Status Move that increases the user's Attack and Special Attack Stat one level. Combine that with their two Physical Attacks, and it could spell trouble. Try to knock them out as quickly as possible. The longer the battle goes, the worse it will be for your team.

If you happen to have a Riolu, raise it to level 15 and teach it its first real Fighting Attack. The attack along with its level will be more than enough to take out both Pokemon. Riolu's other attack, Feint, will even hit Patrat if he tries to use Detect! Even without Riolu, the battle shouldn't be too difficult for Pokemon that are at the same level.

Virbank City Gym

Virbank City Gym specialize in Poison Type Pokemon. The layout is very simple. There are only two trainers and the GYM Leader. All three of them are performing on stage in a band.

The Gym Guide, Clyde, at the door will stop you before entering. Like usual, he'll hand over a Fresh Water.

Gym Leader Roxie

Roxie is a tough Poison trainer with one great Pokemon. Use the Pecha Berries you received earlier to cure your Pokemon of the Poison Status Effect. Allow some Pokemon to hold them to auto-cure. If you already used them, stock up on some Antidotes and Potions.

Koffing shouldn't pose much of a threat, but she may Poison your Pokemon if you don't take her out quickly enough. Her ability (Levitate) makes her immune to all Ground type attacks. A decent leveled Pokemon shouldn't have any trouble taking out Koffing.

Whirlipede is the troublesome Pokemon out of the two. If you chose Snivy as your starter, you may have a tough time here. Tepig should be able to burn through the bug half of the Pokemon, but the poison half is the tough part. If you use any physical attacks on Whirlipede, you will become Poisoned by its Poison Point ability. If any of your Pokemon become Poisoned, quickly heal it or they will take massive damage from Venoshock, a Special Poison Attack that causes more damage if the target is Poisoned. Be wary when switching Pokemon out as well. If you switch a Pokemon while Whirlipede uses Pursuit, it will cause a ton of damage before the Pokemon has the ability to switch out. Use Special Attacks as much as possible. Flying and Fire types will do well at this point against Whirlipede.

If one of Roxie's Pokemon is hurt bad enough, she will use a Super Potion to restore its health.

If you need to heal your team before battling the Gym Leader, jump down the hole on the left side of the room. You will be transported back to the entrance, and a path will be permanently opened to the Gym Leader's room.

Like the rest of the Gym, Burgh uses Bug Type Pokemon. However, none of his Pokemon are pure Bug Types; they're all mixed with one other type. If you have a Fire or Flying type Pokemon on your team, it's best to use them here. Two of his three Pokemon are 4x weak to either one of those types. The third Pokemon (Dwebble) is half Rock and half Bug. Ground, Water, or even Fighting type attacks will work well against him. If you chose Snivy as your starter, it'll be best to keep him on the bench for this battle.

Burgh's special attack is called Struggle Bug. This is a Special Bug type attack that will reduce the target's Special Attack Stat. Every one of his Pokemon will know this attack.

When one of Burgh's Pokemon gets hurt enough, Burgh will use a Hyper Potion

Elesa is the Gym Leader of the Nimbasa City Gym. She uses Electric Type Pokemon for her entire team. One of her Pokemon is half Electric and half Flying, which can cause trouble with her special move. Electric Types are only weak to Ground type Pokemon, but this late in the game, you won't need to rely on Types alone to win a match.

The special attack of this Gym is Volt Switch. This move attacks a Pokemon and switches the user with another Pokemon on their team in one turn. This could be troublesome if you use a Ground Type Attack when one of the Electric Pokemon switches to Emolga (the Flying / Electric). Try to plan ahead with your attacks. When only one Pokemon is left on her team, Volt Switch will not switch out the Pokemon, but it will still cause damage.

When one of Elesa's Pokemon becomes weak, she will use a Hyper Potion to restore its HP.

Driftveil City Gym

The Driftveil City Gym specializes in Ground Type Pokemon. Ground Types are strong against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel Types. They are weak to Grass, Ice, and Water type attacks, and they cannot touch Flying type Pokemon.

Enter the Gym and use the elevator in the back. When you reach the basement, talk to Clyde to receive a Fresh Water.

This Gym is a very complicated Gym if you don't know where you're going. You must walk on conveyor belts to reach trainers throughout the Gym. The shortest path to the Gym Leader takes you through two out of seven trainers. Use the following map to find your way if you find the directions confusing.

Gym Leader Clay

The Leader of Driftveil City Gym is a man named Clay. Like the rest of the Gym, he uses Ground Type Pokemon. Only one of his three Pokemon is a pure ground type, the other two are dual types. If you don't have a water or grass type Pokemon, try to play to the other type's weaknesses, but be careful of the moves the Pokemon may know. A Fighting Type Pokemon will work well against both Krokorok and Excadrill. Flying types are immune to ground type attacks, but two of the three Pokemon have Rock type attacks which are super effective to flying type Pokemon. Also, beware of Sandslash's Fury Cutter. It's a bug type attack which may cause massive damage to grass type Pokemon. The more it's used, the more damage it does.

Clay's special move is Bulldoze. This is a Physical Ground Type Attack that damages and reduces the Speed of the target.

When one of Clay's Pokemon gets weak, he Will use Hyper Potion to fully restore their health.

Mistralton City Gym

The Mistralton City Gym is a Flying Type Pokemon Gym. None of the Pokemon are pure Flying types, of course. There is only one Pokemon in all 649 Pokemon that is a pure flying type -- two if you count Arceus with his plates.

Flying type Pokemon are weak against Ice, Rock and Electric types attacks. Flying type attacks are strong against Grass, Bug, and Fighting type Pokemon. And don't forget, Ground type attacks cannot hit Flying Type Pokemon. Since they're all dual types, try to play to both type's weaknesses.

Head into the Gym to find Clyde, who will give you a Fresh Water. He will blow towards you because of the Gym's layout. Every now and then, big gusts of wind will come and blow you as far downward as it can. An exclamation mark (!) will pop above your head right when it comes. Hide behind walls for cover. The ground below you is almost like a net or chain link fence. You won't be able to cross any holes on foot, but the strong gusts can push you past them until you hit a wall.

From the starting position, run right to the first wall for cover. The first trainer is right above.

Gym Leader Skyla

Skyla is the Leader of Mistralton City Gym. Like the rest of the Gym, she uses Flying Type Pokemon mixed with something else. Unlike many of the other Gym, only one of the Pokemon in her team uses the special move she will award you with for defeating her. That move is Acrobatics. It's a Flying type attack that does extra damage if the user is not holding an item.

Her first Pokemon, Swoobat, is a half Psychic and half Flying Pokemon. It knows Flying and Psychic attacks, but it also knows a Dark type attack, which would be strong against a Ghost type if you happen to have one. Its fourth attack is Attract. If you have a male Pokemon, Swoobat may try to immobilize it with this move.

Her second Pokemon, Skarmory, is a very defensive Pokemon. It would not be wise to attack with Physical Attacks. Special Attacks like Fire, Electric, or Ice type attacks will do well since it's half Steel and half Flying.

Her final Pokemon, Swanna, is a half Water and half Flying Pokemon. Like the other Pokemon, it knows attacks that are the same as its type. Roost, another one of its attacks, will restore some of her HP each time she uses it. She is also holding a berry that will restore some HP when injured. FeatherDance greatly reduces your Pokemon's Attack, so it'll be wise to use Special Attacks. An Electric attack will be 4x strong against her, so that may be the best choice.

Once one of her Pokemon is hurt enough, she will use a Hyper Potion.

Opelucid City Gym

Opelucid Gym specializes in Dragon Type Pokemon. These Dragon types are very versatile. They may have a variety of attacks, but their defenses are pure Dragon. The Dragon type is only weak against Dragon and Ice type attacks. Don't try using Fire, Water, Grass, or Electric type attacks unless the Pokemon is strong enough or at a high enough level to put a dent in the Dragon Pokemon.

This Gym has a very simple layout. Six trainers, including the Gym Leader, are laid out on a giant dragon statue. The first trainer will be at the bottom, the next two are at the legs, the next two are at the arms, and the Leader is at the head. You only need to face one of the two trainers at the legs and arms to progress to the next section. If you like, you can face both trainers to gain some experience.

Like always, Clyde will give you a Fresh Water when you enter. Head forward to face the first trainer.

Gym Leader Drayden

Drayden is the leader of the Opelucid City Gym. He has three very strong Dragon type Pokemon. The special move of this Gym is Dragon Tail. This attack physically damages a Pokemon and forces them to switch to another Pokemon in the party. Don't try to boost your Pokemon's stats, or they will become negated if forced out of battle.

Two of Drayden's Pokemon are pure Dragon types, but the other (Flygon) is half Dragon and half Ground, making it 4x weak against Ice types. If you have an Ice Type Attack and a strong enough Pokemon, you may be able to take it out in one shot. The Ground Type also makes it slightly weaker to Grass and Water type attacks.

Like some of the other trainers in this Gym, these three Dragon type Pokemon have various Types of moves. Try not to choose a Pokemon that's at a disadvantage to their attacks. They are very strong and very high leveled Pokemon. Having a strong Dragon Type attack with a Pokemon that's not weak to any of their attacks would prove useful. Dragon Pulse is available from a Move Tutor in Lentimas Town.

If you get to reach Drayden's final Pokemon, Haxorus, make sure to take him out quickly. If he uses Dragon Dance, his attack and speed will increase, making it more and more difficult to damage him

before he annihilates your Pokemon.

When one of Drayden's Pokemon gets weak without fainting, he'll use a Hyper Potion to fully restore their health.

Humilau City Gym

Humilau City Gym specializes in Water Type Pokemon. Since it's the last Gym in Unova, the Pokemon will be very strong and at a high level.

Some of the Pokemon in the Gym are pure Water types, but there are a few dual types as well. Water type Pokemon are fairly balanced. Water type Pokemon are weak against Electric and Grass type attacks; and Water type attacks are strong against Fire, Ground, and Rock type Pokemon. Of course, with dual types, they may become stronger or weaker to certain types.

When you first enter the Gym, talk to Clyde. He'll hand over a Fresh Water.

The Gym is filled with water. Jump on lily pads to reach docks across the pond. It's very simple at first, but it becomes a bit more difficult later on.

Jump off the dock to the left onto a lily pad to reach the next dock. Walk along the dock to the next pad. A trainer will stop you on the way.

Gym Leader Marlon

The Gym Leader of Humilau City is Marlon. Like the rest of the Gym, he uses Water type Pokemon. Only one of his Pokemon is a pure water type. The other two are dual types, which means they have extra strengths and weaknesses. The special move of this Gym is Scald. It's a Special Water Attack that may leave the target with a Burn.

The first Pokemon Marlon will use is Carracosta. Carracosta is a very tough Water and Rock type Pokemon. It has high defenses, so make sure to use Special Attacks. Since it's half rock and half water, it's 4x weak against Grass attacks. If you have a Grass type Special Attack, you may be able to defeat it in two shots, due to Sturdy. Try to take out it before it uses Shell Smash. That move will lower its Defense and Special Defense, but it raises its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed stats by two levels!

The second Pokemon in Marlon's party is Wailord. This is the pure Water type Pokemon of his team. It's not exactly the strongest Pokemon of the party when it comes to defenses, but it can still take a few hits with its massive amount of HP. Be careful when using Grass types against this Pokemon. It knows a Flying type move called Bounce that could hurt your Pokemon quite a bit.

Marlon's final Pokemon is Jellicent. This Pokemon is half Water and half Ghost with the Cursed Body ability. This is where it gets tough. Jellicent has a weaker defense when compared to its Special Defense, but if you use a move that will make direct contact, that move will become disabled for a few turns due to the Cursed Body ability. In addition to that, it knows Recover to recover its HP. Try taking it out with Electric or Ghost type moves with a strong enough Pokemon.

When one of Marlon's Pokemon becomes injured without fainting, he'll use a Hyper Potion.

Pokemon Day Care

The Pokemon Day Care will raise Pokemon for you for a small fee. The Pokemon increase in Levels, but they won't Evolve, nor will they earn any Effort Values. As they level up, they will replace their old moves with new moves, starting at the top.

The fee the Day Care charges is the Level Increase X 100 + 100. Example: If the Pokemon raises five levels, you owe $600.

Two Pokemon can enter the day care at the same time. If they're compatible, they can even breed! For more information on that subject, see the Breeding Page.

The house to the left of the Day Care will heal your Pokemon for free. A Rare Candy can also be found in the back of the room.

Around this house are four children around the playground. These children will all challenge you to Pokemon Battles.

The first trainer is a purple haired girl.

This particular Pokemon will be a Minccino with a rare Ability.

Return back to the starting area to find a woman near the tunnel to Nimbasa. She will offer you five berries for $200 every single day. These Berries will lower Effort Values of select Pokemon. Perfect for EV Training.

Next, walk beneath the fence in the southern-most area of this route. A Hyper Potion can be found at the end.

Route 8 is a short route in North Western Unova. This route is mostly covered in shallow water (puddles) around a few deeper ponds. During the Winter, all the puddles freeze over, removing any wild Pokemon from them. It also makes navigation a bit more difficult. You must slide over the puddles in order to get from side to side. Surfing over the ponds make it much easier to explore, and the water never removes wild Pokemon. If it's not winter, it may be Raining.

There are three different areas that connect to Route 8: Tubeline Bridge in the East, Moor of Icirrus in the North East, and Icirrus City in the South West.

If you didn't take the bottom current earlier, do so now to reach Route 18.

Northern Half

The Northern Half of Route 17 can only be reached through Route 18. It starts off in the North West and ends in the North East at P2 Laboratory. Be careful, there are a few currents that can take you directly back to the start of Route 17, near the route house to Route 1. If you take that current, the only way back to P2 Lab would be through Route 17, Route 18, and Route 17 again.

Three currents can be found at the start. The top current will bring you back on the bottom current, which means avoid those two. The middle current is the current that takes you further East. It will bring you to a small, shallow water island. Use the small island in the middle of this area as a short stopping point around the route.

If you want to go directly to P2 Laboratory, Surf East onto another current. The current will take you directly to the shore of P2 Laboratory.

If you want to explore more of the route, Surf South of P2 Lab's shore to another small island. On the island is a very valuable Pearl String. Do not jump on the current to the right unless you want to go back to Route 1.

Return to the Island in the North and Surf South and West between the currents. Directly to the West is a trainer.

When you enter the tunnel that connects Aspertia City to Route 19, the lady at the desk will stop you. Don't worry, you're not in trouble. She'll give you a Potion!

Exit out to Route 19 to find Bianca again. This time she'll teach you how to capture a Pokemon. It's very simple. After the tutorial, you're free to go. Battle the Pokemon in the tall grass to make your starter stronger, or capture any of the Pokemon here.

There are no trainers in this area, but there will be a Potion at the North Eastern part of this route. Find it in the tall grass next to the man who will show you how to jump over small ledges. There is more to the route, but you won't be able to access it until you know Surf.

Continue East until you find Alder, the man who was the Pokemon League Champion in Black and White. He'll talk to you a bit before you head into Floccesy Town.

Return Later

After learning Surf return to Route 19 to grab a few items. A Water Stone is in the North West, a Nest Ball is in the North East, and a hidden Expert Belt is where Alder was standing.

The next thing you need to do is jump one of the two ledges from earlier. Further East are more boulders near holes. These boulders form a sort of puzzle. Try to follow these directions to solve the puzzle. Two boulders should have already been moved earlier.

Surf across the small pond to the East to find a boulder to the South East. Push it East until it falls into a hole, allowing you to freely move back and forth from the pond to the boulders. South of this boulder is a rock. Investigate this rock to find a hidden Yellow Shard.

The next step is to push the boulder that is sitting North of the last boulder. Push it to the left until it hits the tree. You may not be able to push it North from here. Walk around the path to the South near the pond, then jump the ledge underneath the boulder. This will allow you to come up beneath the boulder and push it North until it hits the rock face above. Pushing it to the East will be impossible from here. Surf back across the pond to to the West, then walk to the East until you reach the boulder. Push it East and North into the hole.

The next boulder that needs to be pushed will be the second boulder from earlier. Now that the last hole was filled, you can push this boulder to the East into its own hole.

Filling the last hole will allow you to push the next boulder to the East and to the South into another hole.

The final boulder must be pushed East into a hole near a staircase.

To the North is what looks to be an item in the tall grass, but it's actually a wild Amoonguss. Near the Amoonguss is a Green Shard.

The door to the North leads to the basement in Twist Mountain. East is another mining cart. Take the cart back to Area one.

Area 1 Return

The mining cart takes you to the Northern part of Area one. Push the boulder to the South to open up the path back to Driftveil City. If your team is injured, you can heal up back there. South of the boulder is a Rare Bone at a dead end.

Next, push the boulder at the North East part of the cave. Push it East into a hole to open up the path to another mine cart. Before using the cart, pick up the Green Shard below. Take the mine cart to a small room where another mine cart is located, then take the new cart back to area three.

Area 3 Return

From this area, surf North across the water to a door. Before going in the door, investigate the rock near it to find a hidden Iron.

The door leads back to the small room with the mine carts. Push the boulder East into the hole, then take the third cart to the North East part of Area three.

Back in Area three, push the boulder West to open the area up. Go North to the next door, but investigate the rock near the door first. The rock contains a hidden Big Nugget. Now enter the door to a big room and a Mysterious Door.

Underground Ruins

The Underground Ruins hold the Mystery Door. It is a slightly hidden area in Clay Tunnel.

Through the door is nothing but rocks and a few ruins with inscriptions. To change the inside, return to the front of the door where the circle is. From the circle, take six steps down and nine steps to the right, then press A. A hidden switch is located here. Say yes to change the inside of the ruins.

Rock Peak Chamber

Inside will be the Legendary Pokemon Regirock. Save the game to make sure you capture it!

Legendary Pokemon Regirock

Regirock was originally one of three Regi Pokemon. Last generation, a fourth Regi was added. Only two Regis can be caught in each game, but if you capture the third by using the Key System, you'll gain access to the fourth.

Exit out of the ruins and save your game again. Return to the main menu of your game (Hold L + R + START = SELECT). Go to Unova Link > Key System > Key Settings. The last setting is the Mystery Door. Change to the newly unlocked chamber to alter the ruins for the new Regi. Start the game back up and enter the Mystery Door to see the new chamber. Make sure to save before capturing, again.

Giant Chasm is a big area located in North Eastern Unova. This location is part cave and part forested area, which together forms a giant crater.

Giant Chasm is connected to Route 22 in the East, Route 23 in the West, and Route 13 in the South.

Cave

The dust clouds in Giant Chasm's Cave are either Gems or wild Excadrill.

The cave part of Giant Chasm is structured like a giant connected square, the entrance being at the North East corner. Make sure to bring a Pokemon that knows Strength and Surf to fully explore the area.

If you haven't been to Route 21 and Seaside Cave, you won't be able to continue into the cave.

From the entrance, head South until you reach a boulder on the left. Push the boulder with a Pokemon that knows Strength. To the North is a long, narrow body of water. Surf North to find TM13 - Ice Beam.

Continue South West into the cave. There are three possible paths to reach the Western area, but all paths are short and have no items. Take whichever path you like.

To the West are two exits. The exit down a set of stairs on the North wall leads out to the forested crater area. The exit on the South wall leads out to the grassy area which connects to Route 13. Before going to either exit, explore the rest of the cave.

A short distance West of the exits is a lone rock down a small set of stairs. Investigate the rock to find a hidden Star Piece.

Continue going West until you find another boulder. Push the boulder into the hole to the right and grab the Max Repel behind it.

Next, go far North to the end of the cave. On the way, use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Ultra Ball in a small corner on the right.

The Northern side of the cave has two items, both behind two boulders. The first item is another Star Piece. The second item, to the East, is a hidden Ice Gem.

The cave is cleared out now. Return to one of the exits at the South side of the cave. You can jump a ledge at the North East corner of the cave, or return from the path you came. If your Pokemon are in hurt, it would be best to go to the South exit, which connects to Route 13. From there, you can heal up at Lacunosa Town.

Ghetsis - $9360

Ghetsis may very well be the toughest trainer you have faced thus far. He will have a full team of fully evolved Pokemon with well balanced move sets.

The first Pokemon Ghetis uses is Cofagrigus. This Pokemon has high Defense and Special Defenses, and two of its moves are meant to Badly Poison you and protect itself from your attacks. Using a Steel or Poison type Pokemon will prevent it from being Poisoned. Attack with Dark or Ghost type attacks to take it out quickly. Use a Pokemon that will do enough damage, or it will stall you and heal its own HP each turn with Leftovers.

The other five Pokemon are mainly attackers. Do not use Pokemon who are weak to their attacks, or else they may be taken out within a turn or two. Play to each Pokemon's weaknesses, and don't forget about immunity. Drapion is a Poison type, which is weak to Psychic types, but its Dark type makes it immune to Psychic type attacks.

Ghetsis' final Pokemon, Hydreigon is a very powerful Dark / Dragon Pokemon. It will be holding a Life Orb, which increases its attack power while chipping off its own HP each turn. Sending out a Pokemon that has an elemental weakness to its attacks would probably be suicide. Try using Dragon, Ice, or Fighting type attacks to target his elemental weaknesses. Other attacks will do neutral damage, but if your Pokemon are at high enough levels, neutral damage should be fine.

When one of his Pokemon becomes injured enough without fainting, Ghetsis will use a Full Restore.

The Pokemon's Levels will be increased by 4 in Challenge Mode.

After defeating Ghetsis, exit back out to the Crater. Team Plasma's Frigate will be gone, along with the giant ice mountain they created.

The items include: a PP Up to the East, a Star Piece to the South East, TM03 - Psyshock to the West, a Carbos to the North West, and a Sun Stone to the North.

You can also find a Hidden Grotto in between trees to the far South West. It may be easier to find it if you walk in a straight path North of the first cave's exit.

Return to the first cave and exit out to Route 23 in the West.

Return After Dragonspiral Tower

After visiting Dragonspiral Tower and catching Zekrom or Reshiram, return to the Northern Cave in the crater part of Giant Chasm. The Legendary Pokemon Kyurem will return at Level 70. This time, he'll be catch-able.

Make sure to save your game before capturing. You may even want to use the Master Ball here. After capturing Kyurem, Bianca and Cheren will come in the cave to talk. After the dialogue, grab the DNA Splicer left behind. This allows you to fuse Kyurem with Zekrom or Reshiram to form Black Kyurem or White Kyurem. Black Kyurem has a higher Attack stat while merged, and White Kyurem has a higher Special Attack stat. Make sure you get the right Nature.

Reversal Mountain is a large area in Eastern Unova. The area is set around the outside and the inside of the mountain.

The outside of the mountain looks to be open, but all the dead trees actually block the path. To the West is Lentimas Town, to the North is the entrance to the inside of the mountain, and to the East is Strange House.

The inside of Reversal Mountain is a two floor cave. The entrance is located on the Western part of the cave, and the exit to Undella Town is located on the East part of the cave.

Outside of Mountain

From Lentimas Town, head East into the route. The first two trainers can be found riding bikes. Challenge them both to a battle.

Strange House

To the East is a building called Strange House. Around the left side is TM30 - Shadow Ball. It's

partially hidden by the house itself. Walk through the rocks and dead trees on the left side to reach the back left side.

Investigate the inside to get a few new items, one being an important Key Item for some later time.

When you're ready to continue, head inside the cave.

Inside Reversal Mountain (Cave)

The inside of Reversal Mountain is like most other caves. Dust Clouds will appear from time to time. Inside the clouds are wild Excadrill or colored Shards.

Along with a slight appearance change, there will be different items and trainers between Black 2 and White 2. Click the appropriate page:

The staircase to the left leads down to the Basement. There are two items and a TM that way. You may want to go that way first.

The staircase to the right leads out to a blocked off portion of Route 21. That particular area holds Team Plasma's Frigate. Before you can go there, you have to use the Colress Machine on the boulder in front of the door. This will awaken the boulder, which is really a wild Crustle. Crustle is an uncommon Pokemon. You may want to save before interacting with it, just in case you want a specific Nature, Ability, or set of Individual Values.

When you enter the basement, you'll notice a puzzle of sorts with boulders to the East. You can't solve the puzzle from this side, however. You'll need to get there from the South to solve it. Obviously, you'll need a Pokemon with Strength.

First, head as far South as you can. A Max Repel is located in a corner to the East. After grabbing it, walk up the stairs a bit North of the item and push the boulder to the East. A trainer will be waiting further to the East.

Twist Mountain is a large mountain in North Western Unova. It connects Icirrus City in the East to Route 7 in the South West. A link to Clay Tunnel can also be found in the basement.

During the Winter, snow will fill the main area of Twist Mountain, making it far easier to navigate through the area. However, some areas will be blocked off when it's snowing, and other caves will be inaccessible when it's dry. Use the attached maps to help get through the area.

Cave from Icirrus

Enter Twist Mountain from Icirrus City. The South Exit (A) will be blocked off if it's winter, forcing you to go to the North cave (B). Exit A leads directly to the main area, and Exit B leads to another cave, which then leads out to the main area.

Main Area

Before exploring all around, head to the very bottom Cave. This is Cave D, which leads to the basement.

Cave (D)

The cave at the bottom of the main area should be the first place you go to. It leads to a small tunnel with a man staring at the wall. This man will give you one random fossil each day. Take this fossil to the Nacrene City Museum to revive it into a Rare Pokemon!

The next door leads to a small cave with TM71 - Stone Edge and Ice Rock. Ice Rock is used to evolve Eevee into Glaceon. Level up Eevee while near Ice Rock to get it to evolve.

The South East exit leads out to Clay Tunnel. The North exit leads to cave F, a deeper basement.

Cave (F)

Legendary Pokemon Regigigas

This cave contains the Legendary Pokemon Regigigas in the back. Unfortunately, it will be sleeping until you catch all three other Legendary Pokemon Pokemon: Regirock, Registeel, and Regice. You will need to bring all three Legends with you in order to awaken Regigigas. Catching them is not enough.

Return to the main area to continue through Twist Mountain.

Main Area

As mentioned in the intro, this area is much easier to get through during the Winter. Snow will fill most of the crater, blocking off certain caves and allowing access to others. The snow will block off caves A, G, and I. At the same time, the snow gives access to caves V and T.

There are several paths you can take if it's Winter. Caves J, K, L, M, S, R, T, and V are all reachable from the main area.

A Full Restore and TM91 - Flash Cannon can also be easily reached in this area but only if it's snowing. Along with the items, a Pokemon Nurse and Trainer five will be reachable.

If it's Spring, Summer, or Autumn, go to Cave (G). Make sure to investigate the trash can near the vending machine to find a hidden Full Restore.

The Cave names are in the headers below. Choose your path and use the maps to help you through.

Dragonspiral Tower is a landmark in North Western Unova. It can only be accessed from Icirrus City in the South. There are no trainers in the entire tower, but there are many wild Pokemon.

Only come here after visiting N's Castle!

Entrance

The entrance to Dragonspiral Tower starts out connected to Icirrus City. If it's winter, you can climb the top of the GYM and find a NeverMeltIce.

Many types of Pokemon are in the grass before Dragonspiral Tower. Some Pokemon only appear at certain Seasons.

When you enter through the trees, you'll find Cedric Juniper. He will stop you and hand over an Old Gateau.

Before going into the tower, surf East across the water. More tall grass is across the moat, along with a Carbos. Now enter Dragonspiral Tower.

First Floor

The first floor is a straight shot to the second.

Second Floor

The second floor has a few collapsed columns around the room. You can walk up and across the columns in the back like a bridge. This bridge will connect to the West side of the room. An Elixir can be found near the collapsed columns in the back as well.

Pushing the boulder to the West will allow you to reach the same area. A bit South is an Ultra Ball on half a column.

Third Floor

The third floor is sort of a maze. Jump from platform to platform using the ramps. Follow these instructions to pick up the two items and reach the exit:

Jump down to where the three ramps are. First, use the middle ramp to jump three platforms over. A Shiny Stone can be found on the last platform.

Jump across the ramps up, up, right, and right to reach a platform where a Protein is located.

Return back to the starting position and down to the three ramps once more. This time, take the bottom ramp until you reach the curved staircase at the far side of the room. Take the stairs up to the fourth floor.

Fourth Floor

The fourth floor is another short path to the next floor. Before going up to the fifth floor, make sure you grab the three legendary hold items: Adamant Orb, Griseous Orb, and Lustrous Orb.

Fifth Floor

The fifth floor is another maze area. This particular area is a bit confusing to get through because the camera moves with you. Try to follow these instructions:

From the entrance, head right until you find a bridge. Cross the bridge to the next ring inward. Walk left until you reach another bridge to the next ring inward, and pick up TM02 - Dragon Claw on the other side.

Jump the ledge to the right of the TM. Walk right along the ring past the first bridge, then cross the next two bridges two rings outward. Head left to find an HP Up at a dead end.

Return across the two bridges until you reach the ring with the ledge you jumped after obtaining TM02. This time, take the other bridge to the next ring inward. This ring is the center pillar. Jump the ledge in the center pillar, then cross the bridge to the next ring outward. Head left, cross the bring to the next outer ring, then head right until you reach a Max Revive.

Walk left until you reach a bridge to the final ring outward. Head left up the stairs to the next floor.

Sixth Floor

The sixth floor is another simple path to the next floor. Pick up the Comet Shard along the way.

Seventh Floor

Walk to the middle of the seventh floor. The game will ask if you want to use the Dark Stone or Light Stone. Choose "yes" to release Zekrom (Black 2) or Reshiram (White 2). As noted at N's Castle, it depends on the version you're playing. After a short cut scene, you will be able to battle and capture the legendary Pokemon. Make sure to save your game before attempting to do so! Try using Ultra Balls and Timer Balls. Save your Master Ball for the next Legendary Pokemon.

Legendary Pokemon Zekrom

Make sure you catch this Legendary Pokemon! If you don't, you won't be able to create Black Kyurem

when you catch Kyurem later on.

Another thing to do is meet N at the Ferris Wheel in Nimbasa City on Friday. After riding the wheel with him, return to N's Castle to battle him in an extremely tough 6 on 6 battle. His team will change depending on the season.

Dreamyard is a small area in South Eastern Unova. It was once the location of a Pokemon Research lab before it was demolished. They were researching Pokemon Dreams and the Dream World. Now, it's a forested area and part of the demolished building where wild Pokemon live.

The only way to reach Dreamyard is through Striaton City.

Outside

When you first enter Dreamyard, you will come into contact with a certain Legendary Pokemon. This Pokemon depends entirely on the version you're playing. If you're playing Black 2, you'll see Latios. If you're playing White 2, you'll see Latias. The objective here is to follow it around this first area. Find it at the correct spots to enter battle. These spots are:

1. North East area, through the gate.2. Use Cut to go inside demolished building.3. Second floor of demolished building.4. Left side of second floor near item.5. Right side of second floor.

The final spot will initiate the battle. Make sure you save before going to the fifth spot.

This first area of Dreamyard is completely void of trainers. There are a few patches of tall grass with wild Pokemon, however. Grab the items from around Dreamyard, then go into the basement via the staircase in the North East.

The items in this area are as follows:

A Rare Candy is located on the left side of the demolished building in the tall grass.TM85 - Dream Eater is located in front of the staircase inside the demolished building.An Ultra Ball is located on the left side of the second floor in the demolished building.A Moon Stone is located on the North East side of the area, near the staircase to the basement.

There is a path to the South part of this main area, but it's blocked off by a big hole. Take the long way around and push a boulder into the hole using Strength.

Basement

The basement of the Dreamyard building has a few trainers inside of it, but it's the only place where the trainers will try to avoid battling you if they make eye contact. You can avoid them all or talk to them to initiate a battle.

The first trainer can be found a few steps into the basement.

Now that the job is done, you can head back to Floccesy Town and talk to Alder. You can also level up your Pokemon or grab some new ones before moving on.

Return Later

After learning Surf, you can return later to find a Hidden Grotto. It's located across the river at the furthest North East corner. You'll have to go through the forested area to find the river to cross.

Liberty Garden

Liberty Garden is a small island in South West Unova. It can only be reached by a ship in Castelia City.

In Black and White 1, this could only be reached if you had a special key item. You would then be able to capture Victini, a very rare Pokemon. In Black 2 and White 2, anybody can reach this island.

If you happen to have a Victini, bring it along and take it into the building. When you enter the building, the game will ask if you want to let Victini out of his Poke Ball. If you allow it, he will look around the room for a bit and return to you. You can exit and re-enter the room to do this as many times as you like.

The Nature Preserve is a small forested area somewhere in the world. It's far away from Unova, so it won't show up on the map.

The only way to reach the Nature Preserve is by plane from Mistralton City. To get the Permit to fly to Nature Preserve, you must see all 297 Pokemon in the Unova Pokedex. Of course, there are more than 297 Pokemon in the Unova Pokedex, but the other four are Event Legendary Pokemon which aren't needed. After seeing all 297, fly to Professor Juniper's Lab in Nuvema Town. She will check your Pokedex and give you the item. Take the permit to the clerk in the shipping center in Mistralton.

The Nature Preserve is a very small area with three items and several Pokemon. The main attraction of this area is a Shiny Haxorus in the middle of the forest. If you can wait, grab the items around the area first.

From the plane, surf North up the river. A Max Potion will be at the end.

Next, surf East until you reach a waterfall. Climb up the waterfall and grab the Rare Candy.

Return to the plane and head South path a few trees. Walk all the way South until you reach the edge of the mountain, then walk East and North into the forest. The area at the Northern part of the forest has a small pond. North of the pond is a Big Nugget. The forest is so small, you will pass the Haxorus on the way to the nugget.

Make sure to save before attempting to catch Haxorus. You may want a specific Nature, Individual Values, Ability or Gender. Even if you don't care about those, make sure to save to ensure capture. There's only one of these in the entire game, and it's not exactly easy to get to.

Inside the Lab is a Scientist. If you have a Genesect, the Scientist will challenge you to a battle.

Two paths can be found further South. One path leads to the Western area of Pinwheel Forest, and one path leads out to the small area of Pinwheel Forest near Nacrene City. If you want to reach Nacrene City quickly, take the path to the East, but you will need to come back later for the Western part of Pinwheel Forest.

The South West part of the road has a scientist that will give you five Nest Balls. if you complete the Habitat list for Pinwheel Forest.

Before you can take the route house to the other part of Pinwheel Forest, you'll have to battle two trainers in a double battle.

The path will split into two. North is a dead end with a few items, so it'll be best to go that way first.

Walk through the hollow log to the Northern area. To the right is a second hollowed out log. On the other side of that hollow log is a hidden Bug Gem. Next, walk to the West side of this area to find a Sun Stone.

North leads to an isolated area known as the Rumination Field. In the first BW, a Legendary Pokemon could be caught here. Nothing is here now, so return to the last trainer and head South.

South East quickly leads to a dead end with TM22 - Solar Beam. Pick it up and head West.

The path to the West leads to the river which stretches to the Western area of Pinwheel Forest. Before using Surf, use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Rare Candy nearby.

Surf West until you reach land. A small set of stairs at the end of the river lead up to a PP Max near a ledge. Do not jump over the ledge just yet! Head back to the stairs and investigate the trees to the North. A Hidden Grotto can be found here.

This part of Pinwheel Forest is cleared out. Continue East to the Pinwheel Forest near Nacrene City.

The Pokemon League is the place where the toughest Pokemon Trainers face the top trainers of the region. These trainers are known as the "Elite Four." In addition to those four, you must face the Pokemon League Champion to become the new Champion

The rules are extremely simple: once you enter the gate, you must face all five trainers in a row. You will be able to choose which of the trainers to battle first, second, third, and fourth, but the champion will always be last. Don't worry, you will be able to fully heal your team in between each battle. Make sure you stock up on items at the Pokemon Center.

If you already beat the Pokemon League and wish to challenge them a second time, see Pokemon League - Round 2

Four Paths will be available to choose from. The paths from left to right match up with the trainers below:

Shauntal - $6960 (Left Path)

Shauntal is a member of the Elite Four. She specializes in Ghost type Pokemon, but only one of her Pokemon is a pure Ghost type. Ghost type Pokemon are weak to Ghost and Dark type attacks. Don't forget, Normal and Fighting types can't touch them unless they use a move like Odor Sleuth or Foresight.

Cofagrigus is the first Pokemon Shauntal will use. It is a Pokemon with high Defense and Special Defense. One of its attacks will always leave your Pokemon with a Burn, which then lowers the Pokemon's Attack. Special Attacks should be the way to go, but look out for her own Special Attacks. Using a Dark type Pokemon would be best.

Golurk may be the next Pokemon in Shauntal's arsenal. It is a strong Pokemon with powerful physical attacks, one which is strong against Dark type Pokemon. If you don't think your Dark or Ghost type Pokemon is strong or fast enough, you could go with a Grass type to hit its Ground type weakness. Don't use a half Grass half Poison Pokemon, or its Ground type attack may take it out in one blow.

Drifblim is an interesting Pokemon in Shauntal's team. It's not extremely strong when looking at stats, but it does have a variety of attacks that are strong to a number of elements. Being both Flying and Ghost type, it has its own fair share of weaknesses.

Chandelure may be the last Pokemon Shauntal uses. It's a half Fire and half Ghost Pokemon. If you're thinking about using a Water type, you may want to think again. It knows an attack called Energy Ball which is a Grass type attack. It's best to stick to a Dark type Pokemon.

Grimsley - $6960 (Mid-Left Path)

Grimsley is a member of the Elite Four who specializes in Dark type Pokemon. Dark types are weak against Fighting and Bug type attacks, but only one of his Pokemon is a pure Dark type.

Liepard will be Grimsley's starting Pokemon. It's not a very strong Pokemon, but it is pretty fast. With Liepard being a pure Dark type, using Bug or Fighting attacks would be the best way to go. Look out for her flying type attack Aerial Ace. It could heavily damage any Fighting or Bug type Pokemon you have. Another attack to look out for is Attract. If your Pokemon is male, it may become Infatuated.

Krookodile is another one of Grimsley's Pokemon. She is a tough Pokemon with strong Physical Attacks. A Fighting type may be the best choice to take her down. Be wary when using a Bug type, Krookodile's Rock Tomb can deal massive damage. Grass and Water are also good choices for defeating this Pokemon.

Scrafty is another tough Pokemon with strong Physical Attacks. Being half Fighting and half Dark, it's strong against Bug type attacks and immune to Psychic. Flying type attacks would be a good choice, but don't use a Flying type Pokemon. If you do, her Rock Tomb may quickly take it out. Its ability will increase its Attack each time it defeats a Pokemon.

Grimsley's last Pokemon is Bisharp. The best Pokemon to use against her is a Fighting type with Fighting attacks. Their attacks will do 4x damage to Bisharp's two attacks, plus a boost for being a fighting type (4.5x total). Make sure it's at a high enough level with a high enough speed, or Bisharp's Aerial Ace could do a lot of damage. An alternate choice would be Fire type attacks.

Caitlin - $6960 (Mid-Right Path)

Caitlin is a member of the Elite Four who specializes in Psychic type Pokemon. Psychic types are weak against Ghost, Bug, and Dark type attacks. Four of Caitlin's five Pokemon are pure Psychic. The only thing you have to look out for is the variety of moves they may possess, mainly Gothitelle's Shadow Ball. The fifth type is half Psychic and half Flying, meaning it will be strong against Bug type attacks, but in return is weak to Electric and Ice.

Marshal - $6960 (Right Path)

Marshal is a member of the Elite Four who specializes in Fighting type Pokemon. Fighting types are weak against Flying and Psychic type attacks, and all of Marshal's Pokemon are pure Fighting types. Yes, these Pokemon are weak against Flying attacks, but three of the four have Rock type Physical Attacks, which are strong against Flying type Pokemon. On top of that, Sawk has an ability which makes it impossible to be knocked out in one shot. Be careful when using Psychic Pokemon as well. Two of Marshal's Pokemon know an attack called Payback. This is a Dark type attack that increases in power if the Pokemon is hit first. Sawk is one of the Pokemon that knows this attack. Pair that with Sawk's sturdy, and it may take out a Psychic Pokemon in one shot.

Champion Iris - $11800 (Middle Statue)

After defeating the Elite Four, the statue at the starting area will glow. Investigate the statue to reach the Pokemon League Champion.

Iris is the only trainer in the Pokemon League with a full team, at least in Normal mode. Iris used to be the Dragon type GYM Leader in Opelucid City, which is why three of her six Pokemon are still Dragon types. The others vary in type, creating a balanced team. Dragon types are weak against Dragon attacks, but that means if you use a Dragon type Pokemon, you may be at a disadvantage as well. It's best to use Ice or Dragon attacks without using Dragon Pokemon.

Hydreigon is the first Pokemon in Iris' team. It's a half Dragon and half Dark Pokemon. As mentioned earlier, using a Dragon type Pokemon will put you at a disadvantage against its attacks. Hydreigon will still have a weakness to Fighting types, since it's also a Dark type.

Druddigon and Haxorus are the other two Dragon type Pokemon in Iris' team. They are also the only two who will be using held items in Normal mode:

Druddigon uses a mix of Physical and Special Attacks, and it's Life Orb will increase the power of its attacks while taking away some of its HP each turn. It wouldn't be wise to use an Ice type against it, seeing as how it knows Flamethrower.

Haxorus may be the strongest Pokemon in Iris' team. It will mainly use Physical Attacks, and one of its move increases its Attack and Speed stats simultaneously. Its held item, Focus Sash, prevents it from being knocked out with one attack. Make sure you have a fast Pokemon who can withstand a hit or two.

Aggron shouldn't be too tough of an opponent if you have the right Pokemon. Send out a Fighting type with Fighting attacks to knock it out in one shot. It has to be at a high enough level, of course, but not too high. The attack will do about 4.5x damage with elemental weaknesses and STAB. Aggron won't have Sturdy to prevent it from being knock out in one move. Its ability is Rock Head, which prevent it from taking damage from Recoil. Make sure to take it out quickly, or it can deal a lot of damage with its Physical Attacks. Its Status Move will sharply increase it's Speed.

Lapras is a well rounded Pokemon. It knows Water and Ice type attacks, just like its own type. Using Water type Pokemon would be an extremely poor choice. Its Ability will absorb any water attacks thrown at it, restoring its own HP. It would then turn around and use an Electric type attack. Using an Electric or Fighting type Pokemon would play to its weaknesses.

The sixth Pokemon on Iris' team is Archeops. This Pokemon has very strong Attack, Special Attack, and Speed, but it has bad Defense and Special Defense. If you can get its HP below 50%, its Attack and Special Attack will cut in half, but it may then use Endeavor, which reduces your Pokemon's HP to the amount it has. Try to take it out quickly with Electric, Water, or Ice type attacks. Ice type attacks will cause 4x damage (4.5 if it's an Ice type Pokemon), but it will also be weak to Archeops' Rock Slide. Rock Slide is a strong Physical Rock type attack, and being a Rock type Pokemon, the attack will cause even more damage.

If you injure three of her Pokemon without causing it to faint, she'll use three Full Restores.

The Pokemon World Tournament (PWT on map) is located in Western Unova. Reach it by walking South of Driftveil City. Relic Passage can be found in the South West corner of PWT, linking it to Castelia Sewers.

PWT is a place similar to the Battle Subway. Take part in an eight trainer tournament (three battles) to earn Battle Points. There are a variety of tournaments, some which must be unlocked. Defeat the Pokemon League to bring Gym Leaders from all past games into the Pokemon World Tournament.

Rules

Unlike real battles, the Pokemon World Tournament does not reward you with Experience Points or Money. Instead, you battle three trainers with select Pokemon to earn Battle Points (BP). The Battle Points can then be spent on items at the two counter in the lobby. Before beating the Pokemon League, there are four different tournaments, each with four types of battles.

After selecting your Pokemon for battle, your team will fight in three battles back to back. Items cannot be used in battle, but Hold Items will be allowed. If your Pokemon uses a one-time use hold item in battle, it will be restored in the next battle. No two Pokemon can use the same Hold Item. Pokemon are fully healed after each match. When a Pokemon faints in Tournament Battles, the opponent's next Pokemon will be selected without allowing your team to switch to another Pokemon.

Win all three matches to earn a set amount of Battle Points (BP). If you lose a match, you will be awarded a consolation prize. The prize will either be a Blue Shard, Green Shard, Red Shard, or Yellow Shard.

Tournaments (Green Attendant)

The first time you visit, only the Driftveil Tournament will be available. After the story-related battles, three more tournaments will be unlocked. These tournaments allow you to face one regular trainer and two of the first five trainers in B2W2's Unova (Plus Bianca).

Pokestar Studios

Pokestar Studios (Japanese Name: Pokewood??????) is a new area in Pokemon Black 2 / White 2. It allows you to make movies with your own Pokemon or rented Pokemon in a studio. The created movie can then be watched at the theater. The audience in the theater will rate the movie based on the decisions you made in the scripted battle.

The entire area is basically a Studio on the left and a Theater on the right. The only path in or out of the area is the Southern path, which connects with Virbank City.

First Visit

After winning the Toxic Badge, the route house from the city will be opened to Pokewood. As you enter, the owner of the studios, Mr. Stu Deeoh (yet another unique name), will stop and talk to you.

The first stop is the movie theater. A movie will show how the villan has won instead of the hero. They need your help to fix it!

The second stop is the studio where the movies are made. Talk to the man in the green mo-cap suit if you want to know details about how the movies are made. Talk to the man near the door to shoot a film. Instead of using your own Pokemon, use the rented Pokemon for this movie.

Your pokemon will be a Level 13 Riolu. Your opponent is a Level 15 Pawniard. Use Force Palm to quickly take him out. The next Pokemon is Vullaby. Use Riolu's Ice Punch to take him out in one shot as well.

Now that the movie is finished, go to the Theater to view it. Talk to the lady at the desk near the theater door to choose the movie you want to see.

After the movie is over, exit out to the lobby and talk to the man with the backpack on the left. He'll hand over Five Lemonades. You can buy Lemonade, Soda Pop, or Fresh Water at the vending machines in the lobby and around the world.

Leave the theater and return to the South East docks of Virbank City.

Other Movies

If you like, you can head back to the studio and work on other movies. Talk to the same person from earlier to start another movie.

Strange House is a small haunted mansion in Eastern Unova. The only way to reach it is through Reverse Mountain. The house is like a maze of sorts. The furniture will move around each of the three floors when you enter or exit out of a room. If you get stuck, exit out of the house to reset the furniture and try again.

The first thing to do is enter the basement. There's a staircase on the left side of the ground floor. A Spell Tag can be found in the basement with another item, but the second item is unreachable at first. Walk to the right side of the basement and up the stairs.

The two doors on the ground floor will now be open on the left and right side of the staircase to the second floor. A trainer can be found inside the right room.

Unity Tower

Unity Tower is a small island in South Western Unova. It can only be reached through a boat from Unity Pier in Castelia City. To get on that boat, you must trade with at least one person from a different country over Wi-Fi.

The tower will hold avatars of different trainers you've traded with over different countries. Each country will have its own floor. Trade with different countries to gain access to those different floors.

Virbank Complex is a small area in the South Western area of Unova. The entrance of the complex is in the same area as the Virbank City, and it's the only way in or out of the area.

The Pokemon seem to be the same in both areas, with the exception of Growlithe and Koffing who can only be found in the main area.

Entrance

Before going deeper into the complex, pick up the X-Accuracy from the tall grass to the left.

Next, head down the steps into the canal-like area to the right. The man here will exchange his Great Ball for your Poke Ball once a day, if you want. Walk along the path up and to the left until you reach the left side of the complex wall. Here you will find a Silk Scarf.

Now that you have all the available items, enter the main area of the complex.

The main area of the Complex seems pretty simple at first glace, but it's a bit more complex. There are a few beams stretching out from the left side to the right side. It's possible to walk across the beams to reach new areas, but it's extremely easy to fall off. Many trainers in this area won't battle until you talk to them. Let's take this area section by section, trainer by trainer.

Talk to the guy by the tree and he'll ask you to have Pokemon Battles with the three workers in the area.

Head South to find the first trainer in the middle of the road.

Find and talk to him near the wall on the left (West) side of the complex. Next, he'll move to the water front area to the South. Talk to him once more to receive an Ether.

After defeating all trainers, talk to the man near the tree at the entrance to receive TM94 - Rock Smash.

If you haven't faced the GYM Leader yet, go face her now.

After obtaining the Toxic Badge and HM01 - Cut, return to the complex. Walk around the left wall near the big tree to find a small cut-able tree. Use cut to find a Super Potion.

White Treehollow

To the North is White Treehollow, a battle facility that is only opened after visiting Alder's House in Floccesy Town. See the White Treehollow page for more info.

Shops

South of White Treehollow are four booths. Nothing will be available at first, but after defeating areas of White Treehollow, the shops will start selling items for different prices.

Poke Transfer Lab

The Poke Transfer Lab is a Laboratory located on Route 15. The primary function of this lab is to transfer Pokemon from Generation four to generation five.

For those who don't know, Pokemon games are split up into "Generations." There are currently five generations of Pokemon:

Generation 1: Pokemon Red, Blue, and YellowGeneration 2: Pokemon Gold, Silver, and CrystalGeneration 3: Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, and Leaf GreenGeneration 4: Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, and Soul SilverGeneration 5: Pokemon Black (2) and White (2)

When you first enter the Poke Transfer Lab, a scientist will ask you if you want to experiment with the system. He will give you a quick rundown on how everything works. Transferring Pokemon is fairly simple.

Transferring Pokemon

In order to transfer Pokemon, you need two Nintendo DS Systems. The Nintendo 3DS also work for this process. Start wireless communications on the system that is running Pokemon Black or White. The other system with the Gen four Pokemon game will bring up a DS Download Play button at the main menu. Click the button and select six Pokemon from your PC to transfer over to Pokemon Black and White. Remember, once the Pokemon are transferred over, you cannot transfer them back! Not all Pokemon can be transferred:

Pokemon cannot hold itemsSelect event PokemonPokemon EggsPokemon with Hidden Machines

After sending Pokemon to the Poke Transfer Lab, you will play a short mini-game. Launch Poke Balls at the Pokemon as they dodge from bush to bush. After all Pokemon are caught, the game will end, and the Pokemon will be transferred to your PC.

Royal Unova

The Royal Unova is a ship that sails from Castelia City each evening. To get on board, you must pay $1000.

The ship contains various Pokemon Trainers. Talk to each one to challenge them to a battle. The trainers and their Pokemon will change after defeating the Pokemon League.

Shopping Mall Nine

Shopping Mall Nine is, as its name implies, a shopping mall found on Route 9. The mall has many items for sale, some which aren't for sale anywhere else.

A woman on the ground floor will ask you to buy a Hyper Potion for her. She'll give you the money to go grab one at a counter. Buy one and give it to her to receive an Energy Root. Remember, bitter items are bad!

Two trainers can be found in the mall, but they'll only battle with you if you talk to them.

The first trainer is a woman near the stairs to the right of the bottom counter.

Battle Facilities

Battle Facilities are special buildings or locations that allow you to face several trainers under special rules. Most of them have similar rules, but some may have their own select rules.

Battle InstituteBattle SubwayBlack TowerPokemon World TournamentWhite Treehollow

Battle Institute

The Battle Institute is a small building located to the West of the Pokemon Center in Nimbasa City. It won't be open the first time you come to Nimbasa, but it certainly will be after the Pokemon League - perhaps before hand.

The Battle Institute is a place where you battle several trainers in five consecutive battles. These battles are used to score how you fight and how great of a trainer you are.

Note: Your Pokemon will not gain any EXP, nor will you earn any money. This is simply for testing purposes.

Rules

Choose between a single battle (three Pokemon each) or a double battle (four Pokemon each). Battle five trainers consecutively. All Pokemon will be healed after each battle.

Pokemon entered will be set to level 50. This may increase or reduce the Pokemon's levels and stats, but it will not alter the move sets. The same species of Pokemon cannot be entered twice, meaning you can't have two Golducks or Lucario etc.

Items from your bag cannot be used, but Hold Items are allowed. However, no two Pokemon can use the same Hold Item. One time use items will regenerate after each battle, just like in other tournaments.

Pokemon Battles are simple. Make the opponent Pokemon faint to bring out the next. Your team will not be allowed to switch Pokemon when the opponent switches their Pokemon. You will be able to switch Pokemon at any other time, but it will count as a turn. Using Run will forfeit the match.

Winning or losing a match allows you to progress to the next trainer, but it will reduce your score if you lose. The more matches, the tougher the Pokemon.

Battle Subway

The Battle Subway is a Battle Facility in the Gear Station. The Gear Station is the building East of the Pokemon Center in Nimbasa City.

Subway Type Color of Subway

Single Battle Green

Super Single Battle Light Green

Double Battle Red

Super Double Battle Pink

Subway to Anville Town

Brown

Super Multi Yellow

Multi Orange

Wi-Fi Light Blue

Unlike real battles, the Battle Subway does not reward you with Experience Points or Money. Instead, you battle lines of trainers with select Pokemon to earn Battle Points (BP). The Battle Points can then be spent on items at the counter near each Subway. There are seven different types of battle subways, and one regular subway. From the door, walk counter clockwise to find each subway:

Rules

Select a Subway to battle at. Depending on the subway, you will choose 2, 3, or 4 Pokemon to use in seven battles. Two Pokemon are selected in Multi-Battles, three Pokemon are selected in Single Battles, and four Pokemon are selected in Double Battles. Some Pokemon are not allowed to complete, mainly Legendary Pokemon. Also, two of the same species will not be eligible, and no two Pokemon can have the same Hold Item.

All Pokemon in the Battle Subway will be at Level 50. If your Pokemon are above or below Level 50, they will be automatically adjusted to that level. Only Stats and Levels will increase. Your Pokemon's Moves will stay the same.

Regular Battles are easier than Super Battles. Most of the Pokemon in Regular Battles are unevolved or only once evolved. Almost all Pokemon are fully evolved in Super Battles. The more battles you win, the tougher the Pokemon become. Super Battles will unlock once you complete the regular battle train (21 consecutive battles) and obtain the National Pokedex from defeating the Elite Four.

After selecting your Pokemon for battle, your team will fight in seven successive battles. Items cannot be used in battle, but Hold Items will be allowed. If your Pokemon uses a one-time use hold item in battle, it will be restored in the next battle. Pokemon are fully healed after each match. You are also given the option of continuing to the next match or quitting. When a Pokemon faints in Subway battles, the opponent's next Pokemon will be selected without allowing your team to switch to another Pokemon.

Earn Battle Points through seven successive wins. After seven, you are given a choice to continue or go back to Nimbasa City. If you continue, you can select a new team of Pokemon for the next seven battles.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi trains allow you to team up with another player over Wi-Fi connections.

Battle Points

After winning seven battles in a row, you are awarded with Battle Points. The Battle Points vary between Regular and Super Matches. After a set amount of battles in each Subway, you must fight the Subway Boss. In Regular Matches, you must win 21 matches. In Super Matches, you must win 49 matches.

Black Tower & White Treehollow

Black Tower (Black 2) and White Treehollow (White 2) are battle facilities located in Black City and White Forest respectively. Before you can challenge them, you must defeat Alder at his house in Sangi Town. Return to the battle facilities and talk to the lady at the counter to start a challenge.

Rules & Tips

Black Tower and White Treehollow pit you against a random set of trainers in each area. The objective is to find the Gate Trainer on each floor. Talk to defeated trainers for hints to the location of the Gate Trainer. Find and defeat the Gate Trainer in battle to open up the gate in the area. After Area 5, the Gate Trainer may be on a different floor from the gate.

Reach the gate, which you may have passed, to find the Boss Trainer. Defeat the Boss Trainer to pass the area, return to the lobby, and unlock the next area.

There are ten areas in total. All areas and trainers will be randomly selected. Challenging the same area twice will give you two different results.

Pokemon you face can vary from level 45-80, depending on the area you challenge. Each Pokemon Trainer will have two Pokemon, but The Area Boss will have three. After defeating a Pokemon, you will have the option to switch to another Pokemon, unlike the Battle Subway and PWT.

Players can enter the battle facility with a full team of any Pokemon at any level. These Pokemon can hold any items, but you will not be able to use items inside or outside of battle. Unlike the Battle Subway and Pokemon World Tournament, you will be able to earn EXP and Money.

Your team will be fully healed before and after challenging an area. Each area will have a Pokemon Doctor who will heal your team after defeating him. Unlike other Pokemon Doctors, this Doctor will give you the option to heal now or later. Choose wisely, he will only heal your team once.

Rewards

After defeating an area, you will earn one of the following rewards randomly.

For example, send the key to from Black 2 to White 2 to open up Black City in White 2, or send the key from White 2 to Black 2 to open up White Forest in Black 2.

Reach the end of the tenth area to battle Alder's Grandson, Banjirou, who will be the Area Boss. Defeat him to earn a special Shiny Pokemon as a gift. This Pokemon will be given at Alder's House and depends on which version game you're playing.


The Pokemon World Tournament (PWT on map) is located in Western Unova. Reach it by walking South of Driftveil City. Relic Passage can be found in the South West corner of PWT, linking it to Castelia Sewers.

PWT is a place similar to the Battle Subway. Take part in an eight trainer tournament (three battles) to earn Battle Points. There are a variety of tournaments, some which must be unlocked. Defeat the Pokemon League to bring Gym Leaders from all past games into the Pokemon World Tournament.

Rules

Unlike real battles, the Pokemon World Tournament does not reward you with Experience Points or Money. Instead, you battle three trainers with select Pokemon to earn Battle Points (BP). The Battle Points can then be spent on items at the two counter in the lobby. Before beating the Pokemon League, there are four different tournaments, each with four types of battles.

When a Pokemon faints in Tournament Battles, the opponent's next Pokemon will be selected without allowing your team to switch to another Pokemon.

StorylineWARNING: The following page contains spoilers of the storyline, just in case you didn't think it would.

Pokemon Black 2 and White 2's story is set two years after the events of Pokemon Black and White. The story starts with a new Hero and their Rival in Aspertia City on the day they start their Pokemon adventure. The Hero receives his first Pokemon from Bianca, who is Professor Juniper's assistant, but the Rival already has a Pokemon hatched from an Egg.

During their adventure, they run into Team Plasma, a group that was abandoned by their former leader N after having a long fight with Hilbert and Hilda, the Heroes of the first Black and White. Team Plasma is only half as strong as it once was, because the other half left along with N.

The Rival admits to having a deep hatred for Team Plasma for stealing his sister's Purrloin five years back. He decides to make Team Plasma his number one goal as the Hero goes around collecting Gym Badges. He wants to find the stolen Purrloin and take down Team Plasma in the process.

As the adventure progresses, the Hero runs into a new character named Colress. This man is a Pokemon scientist who would do anything to research Pokemon.

Further into the adventure, the Hero runs into Zinzolin, a Team Plasma Sage who plans to keep Team Plasma going under Ghetsis. Together, they enslave the legendary Pokemon Kyurem and hold it in a flying ship called the Plasma Frigate. Team Plasma's new goal is to freeze over Unova with Ice Missiles powered by the Dragon and Ice type Kyurem.

Team Plasma attacks and freezes Opelucid City to steal DNA Splicers from Drayden, the Gym Leader of the town. They plan to use the DNA Splicers with Kyurem, but nobody knows why just yet.

Colress later joins up with Team Plasma at the request of Ghetsis. Ghetsis makes Colress the new boss of Team Plasma to replace N, but it would seem Ghetsis is still the leader.

The final showdown happens at Giant Chasm. Ghetsis comes out of hiding to attack the Hero and Rival after they take down many Team Plasma members, including Zinzolin and Colress. During those battles, the Rival found his sister's Purrloin, but it had evolved into a Liepard. One of the Shadow Triad members had it. As Ghetsis comes face to face with the Hero, N comes out of no where with his Legendary Black or White Dragon Pokemon to save the day. However, Ghetsis still has the DNA Splicers. He uses them to absorb and fuse Kyurem with the Black or White Dragon Legend (Zekrom or Reshiram). The Hero steps back in to defeat the Black or White Kyurem in battle, which then separates the two dragons. Kyurem then flies off and leaves Ghetsis behind. What happens to Ghetsis after that is unclear.

Much later, N fights the Hero once more at the ruined Team Plasma Castle from long ago. After the battle, he gives the Hero his Zekrom / Reshiram. Zinzolin will also appear at Undella Bay and give research on Abyssal Ruins.

Ex-Team Plasma

Years ago, Ghetsis and six other sages created an organization known as Team Plasma. These Sages chose N as the "King of Team Plasma" to rule over everyone and spread their message of "Liberating Pokemon." Of course, unbeknownst to N, this was just a ploy by Ghetsis to steal everyone's Pokemon and rule the world.

Two years ago, N and Team Plasma were setting this plan into action. However, Hilbert, Hilda, Cheren, Bianca, and the Unova Gym Leaders decided to step in and stop them. N soon realized that separating people from Pokemon was wrong, and he decided to disband Team Plasma. Ghetsis, however, had other plans. He continued to try to rule the world, but was thwarted by the others, even after taking over the Pokemon League. After that, Ghetsis went into hiding, and six of the seven sages were captured by International Police.

These days, a separate faction of Ex-Team Plasma members, including former Sage Rood, still follow N. They now try to find the original trainers of the Pokemon they stole, or they raise those stolen Pokemon as their own until they can. They are located in Driftveil City.

Fennel

Fennel is a Pokemon Researcher who created the Pokemon Dream World. In the Black and White, Fennel was located in Striaton City. These days in Black 2 and White 2, Fennel is located in Castelia City.

Ghetsis

Years ago, Ghetsis and six other sages created an organization known as Team Plasma. These Sages chose N as the "King of Team Plasma" to rule over everyone and spread their message of "Liberating Pokemon." Of course, unbeknownst to N, this was just a ploy by Ghetsis to steal everyone's Pokemon and rule the world.


These days, a separate faction of Ex-Team Plasma members still follow N, but original Team Plasma members are still active around Unova, following Ghetsis. His goal is still to steal all trainer's Pokemon and rule the world.

N

N was once known as the King of Team Plasma. When he was young, he was abandoned in the woods. He was a strange orphan who grew up alongside Pokemon, namely Darmanitan and Zorua, and was even able to talk to them. N was then discovered by Ghetsis, one of seven sages who created an organization known as Team Plasma. Ghetsis told N that he was his father, but nobody knows is this is true. Ghetsis and the other Sages chose N as the "King of Team Plasma" to rule over everyone and spread their message of "Liberating Pokemon." Of course, unbeknownst to N, this was just a ploy by Ghetsis to steal everyone's Pokemon and rule the world.


These days, N travels around Unova still trying to figure out how people and Pokemon should co-exist. Although he's no longer part of Team Plasma, a separate faction of Ex-Team Plasma people still follow him.

N's Pokemon

N reluctantly released all his Pokemon into the wild. You can find them and capture them yourself. See more info at N's Pokemon. You can also obtain a Zorua in Driftveil City that was once N's.

As for the Pokemon N now carries, he uses one of the Legendary Dragon Pokemon, depending on which version you're playing.

Professor Juniper

Professor Aurea Juniper is the Pokemon Professor from Nuvema Town. Along with her assistant Bianca, she helps the Hero and Rival along their journey.

Rival

Rival is one of the main protagonists of Pokemon Black 2 / White 2. His default name is Hugh (Japanese Name: Hyuu ???).

He is the Hero's friend who is also from Aspertia City. Five years ago, Team Plasma stole his sister's Purrloin. He was only a kid at the time, so he couldn't do anything. During the adventure, he'll express his deep hatred for Team Plasma, and vow to get stronger and stronger.

Rival will fight alongside the Hero through most of the game. At a few points, he will challenge the Hero to a Pokemon Battle. Those points are in:

Aspertia CityFloccesy RanchUndella TownVictory RoadUndella Town (After Pokemon League)Driftveil City (After Pokemon League)

Final Team

Rival's final Pokemon team will be six Pokemon around level 65. They will barely change from Undella Town. If you're playing Challenge Mode, they will all be three levels higher.

Unova Link

The Unova Link is a set of link systems that can be found at the main menu of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. The three link systems allow you to share data with other Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 games (Key System), completed Pokemon Black and White games (Memory Link), and the Pokemon Dream Radar App on the Nintendo 3DS (Nintendo 3DS Link). Click each page for more information.

Key System[[Memory Link]Pokemon Dream Radar

Key System

A new feature in Black 2 and White 2 are special unlocks. "Keys" will be given after completing certain tasks. Unlike all other items, these keys will not show up in any of your bags.

These keys can be sent to other Black 2 and White 2 games to unlock features in that particular game, or you can use them in your own game. NOTE: It seems you cannot transfer a key from one cartridge, restart that game, and send the same key back. Many people have tried this with the Challenge Mode Key and have failed.

If you want to start a new game on the same cartridge, you will have to clear all saved data. Doing so will delete all Keys you have unlocked!

Key System in Unova Link

There are two option in the Key System: Send and Receive Keys, and Key System Settings.

Send and Receive Keys

Just as the name implies, this will allow you to send and receive your keys to friends playing Pokemon Black 2 or White 2. Keys can only be sent through Infrared (IR) and DS Wireless Communications.

Key System Settings

Key System Settings allow you to change settings in your own game. Three more option can be found under Key System Settings: Set Difficulty, Change City, Mystery Door

Set Difficulty allows you to change your game from Normal to Easy or Challenge (Hard) modes.Change City allows you to change from Black City to White Forest, and vice versa. Those towns are usually version exclusive, unless you use this Key feature.Mystery Door allows you to change the ruins in Clay Tunnel between the following:

Memory Link

Memory Link is a feature in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 that allows you to bring memories from the first Pokemon Black and White game. This will unlock new things in your Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 game, such as N's Pokemon, memories from the first game and in between those two years, and extra battles with Cheren (Route 5) and Bianca (Route 1).

The first Pokemon Black and White game must have the main story completed. The game is completed once the credits roll. However, according to the Pokemon Website, "The more you've played in the first game, the more story scenes open up for you in the new game!" Transfer information through the Memory Link in the Unova Link option at the Main Menu.

Memory List

After connecting to a past game, a list of memories will appear on the Black 2 or White 2 game. This includes:

A Triple Team: Listen to Cress, Chili, and Cilan's story at Striaton City's Restaurant.Different Bones and Dreams: Go to Nacrene City Museum to hear Lenora, the bone specialist, tell a story.Hearts' Desire: Brycen is waiting in a place with a frozen floor in Icirrus City.A New Light: After your entering of the Hall of Fame, Drayden starts thinking about the past in Opelucid City.Taking it to the Next Level: After your visit to Lentimas Town, Skyla stares blankly while standing in front of the Mistralton City Gym. She wants to talk to someone about something that's worrying her.White and Black: After participating in the PWT, someone is visiting he house in Driftveil City where the ex-Team Plasma members are...Meeting Friends, Saying Good-Bye: At a Pokemon Center (Floccesy Town), a Pokemon Breeder is thinking about Pokemon.

How To

Note: you must have completed the story (Defeat Pokemon League) of the first Black and White

game before doing this.

Select Memory Link from the Unova Link Menu at the starting menu. There, you can establish a link two different ways.

Two DS Handhelds

If you have two DS Handhelds, you can establish a link using both at the same time.

Insert Pokemon Black 2 or White 2 in one DS. Select the Memory Link option from the Unova Link Menu at the start menu. THE GAMES DO NOT HAVE TO BE THE SAME COLOR. You can use White's memories with Black 2, and Black's memories with White 2.

On the other DS, select "Download Play" from the DS Menu before starting up the game. Select the Pokemon option in the Download Play, and wait for the game to establish a link. A message will pop up on the first DS confirming the link.

Wi-Fi

If you don't have two DS Handhelds, you can establish a link over Wi-Fi. Remember, you need WEP Encryption or no Encryption when using Nintendo Wi Fi. That being said, DSi and 3DS users can set up "advanced" connections for WPA2 Encryption.

Register the first Pokemon Black or White at the Pokemon Global Link. To do so, you'll need to use the Game Sync feature at the Main Menu of the first Pokemon Black or White. Use the Game Sync ID to register the game at Pokemon Global Link after creating an account.

Next, insert Pokemon Black 2 or White 2 into the DS. Start up the game and select the Memory Link option from the Unova Link menu at the start menu. Select the Wi-Fi option and enter the same Game Sync ID. A message will pop up confirming the link.

Pokemon Dream Radar

Pokemon Dream Radar (Pokemon AR Searcher in Japan) is a Nintendo 3DS App which allows players to catch Rare Pokemon using the Nintendo 3DS system, similar to the Pokemon Dream World. The App uses the Nintendo 3DS camera, motion control, and augmented-reality technology to catch Pokemon in your home!

The Pokemon Dream Radar App was released in 3DS eShop on 2012, October 7th to coincide with the North American release date. The price was 300 Yen in Japan, and $2.99 in US.

The objective in Pokemon Dream Radar is to shoot Dream Clouds and capture Dream Orbs that pop out of them. To capture the Dream Orbs, shoot them with the beam used to shoot clouds. Use these orbs to purchase upgrades in the Development Lab.

Dream Clouds usually appear at a rate of one every five minutes, but they won't form while recharging. Maximize the number of Dream Clouds with five Play Coins from the 3DS. That feature can only be used three times a day. To get Play Coins, walk around with the 3DS on. Only a max of ten Play Coins can be earned each day.

Capturing Pokemon and Items

Every now and then, a Pokemon will appear out of a Dream Cloud instead of Dream Orbs. Only a bright light will appear, so you won't know the Pokemon until you capture it. The bright light may even be a Pokemon that drops an item instead of being capture. To capture it, shoot it with the beam to stall it, then shoot it repeatedly until a meter fills up. If you're not quick enough, it will run away. The captured item or Pokemon will fill one of twelve slots in the lab. Six slots are for Pokemon, and six slots are for items.

All Pokemon found in the Pokemon Dream Radar will have Rare / Dream World Abilities. What level they're on depends on how much of Pokemon Black 2/White 2 you've completed when you transfer them, level 5 before the first gym, level 10 before the second, and so on up to level 40. Many Pokemon can be captured, including rare Legendary Pokemon.

Past Legends

Once you beat Landorous and you have one of the Generation IV games in your game cartridge slot,

you can obtain the main legendary of that game. They act like the other legendary battle areas as they each contain only one Pokemon. The legendary Pokemon can only be sent to one game and can only be received by a Black 2 or White 2 cartridge.

Dream World In Detail

Home

When you enter the Dream World, you'll arrive at an Island called Home. If it's your first time, you will get a tutorial on every thing you do and every place you go.

Home is the place to sort everything out. It has a small house, a share shelf, a bridge to the Island of Dreams, and a garden.

The Share Shelf is to the right of your House. Place an item from your treasure chest on an empty spot. Anyone who visits your home will be able to take the item for themselves.

To the right of the Share Shelf is a Bridge to the Island of Dreams. More info on the island at the end of this page.

To the right of the Bridge, or the left of the House, is the Garden. Plant and water berries to grow more. The berries will then be placed in the treasure chest in your House.

House

The house is where you organize everything. It contains a Treasure Chest, Friend Board, and Dream Catalogue.

Use the Treasure Chest to store all your Berries and any other items you may find. Send however many items from the Treasure Chest when you're ready to leave the Dream World. The items will be sent to a boy at Entralink. Don't leave berries in the treasure chest for too long. After 100 days, they will disappear forever.

The Friend Board holds a picture of all Pokemon you've met on the Island of Dreams. It also holds any event Pokemon you may have received from the Pokemon Global Link. All the Pokemon on the board will be sent to the Forest Clearing in the Entree Forest, which is in Entralink. The friend board can hold up to 50 Pokemon. Any more, and you won't be able to go to the Island of Dreams.

The Dream Catalogue isn't as important as the other two items. It's used to buy decor for your room. Trade specific Berries for Decor.

Island of Dreams

The Island of Dreams is a place to find items and Pokemon. Locations include:

Icy CavePleasant ForestRugged MountainSparkling SeaSpooky ManorWindswept Sky

Click the arrows at the bottom of the screen to navigate through the area. You can visit ten different areas (each involves a click of an arrow) in each location. After ten areas, you will always arrive at the Tree of Dreams.

Each time you click to an area in the Island of Dreams, you may see sparkles or a moving spot on the area. Click Sparkles to find items, and click moving spots to find Pokemon. Items will be instantly added to your Treasure Chest. Pokemon on the other hand require a bit more work.

After finding a Pokemon, you must play a game with them. If you're good at the game, you will befriend the Pokemon. There are many mini-games to play. Before starting, you can click "How To Play" to find out the rules. Pokemon found in the Dream World may have unique Moves or Abilities.

Once you reach the Tree of Dreams, you can ask it to grant you a wish. The wish sends a Pokemon you befriended to the Friend Board in your House. You must place a berry in the shining part at the hollow in the tree in order to grant this wish. However, you can only choose one Pokemon.

After making your wish, you will return Home. You can return to the Island of Dreams until your time is up (One Hour in the Dream World), or until you get one Pokemon from the Tree of Dreams.

Black 2 and White 2 ExclusiveIf you register your Black 2 or White 2 game to the Global Link, you'll get more out of the Island of Dreams. Newer Pokemon will be discovered. Plus, which Pokémon you tuck in will affect your time in the Pokémon Dream World: when you go to the Island of Dreams, the location you explore will be determined by the tucked-in Pokémon's type.

Waking Up

When you're ready to leave, select items from your treasure chest to send, and make sure you have Pokemon on the Friend Board. Click the "Leave Dream World" button at the top right corner of the screen. You will then need to Sync your game once more to wake up the Pokemon and send any items or Pokemon from the Dream World. Remember, it's C-Gear > Online > Game Sync. To get your items and Pokemon in your game cartridge, click C-Gear > Wireless > Entralink.

Entralink

Entralink is a place located in the direct center of Unova. To get there, turn on your C-Gear, select Wireless, and click Entralink.

Entree

A tree is located in the middle of the Entralink. This tree is called the "Entree." Examine it to see the available Funfest Missions. See that page for more info. Complete missions to earn Pass Orbs and Pass Powers.

Pass Orbs and Pass Powers

Pass Orbs are small white orbs that appear in your Items bag. Collect them and use them at the Entree to earn Pass Powers. Some may not be available until you play Funfest Missions.

There are a variety of Pass Powers like more wild Pokemon, Pokemon Center Shop discounts, Pokemon HP recovery, more money gained, more EXP gained, and more! These powers only last three minutes each.

Entralink and Dream World

The Entralink is a place you must visit after using the Pokemon Dream World to obtain your items and Pokemon from the Dream World.

After Syncing your Game, head to the Entralink from your C-Gear. Click in this order: C-Gear > Wireless > Entralink. You will be instantly warped there. When you want to leave, step on the teleporter to the South.

Entree Forest

North is Entree Forest. Before entering it, talk with a boy at the entrance to the forest. He'll hand over any items you sent from the Dream World.

Inside Entree Forest are all the Pokemon you sent over from the Dream World. Walk up and interact with them to start a sort of battle. Use the Dream Ball to instantly catch them and add them to your party.

Funfest Missions

Funfest Missions are new additions to Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. Talk to select NPCs around Unova to add these Missions to the Entralink.

Head to the Entralink and interact with the Entree (the tree at the entrance) to accept a Funfest Mission. You can play these missions with people nearby, or use the "Tag Log" in the center of your C-Gear to participate in someone else's mission (You cannot play certain missions until you progress to a certain point in the game). When you accomplish the mission objective, you'll receive Pass Orbs and gain Pass Powers. See the Entralink for more info.

What are the new Forms in Black 2 and White 2?

The first obvious new forms are Kyurem's Black and White forms. To change forms, use the DNA Splicers to merge Kyurem with either Zekrom or Reshiram. Both must be in your party at the same time. Kyurem's Type and Nature will remain the same, but it will gain a new move set and the Ability of the other legend.

Three new forms for the legendary Flying Pokemon Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus are also available. When captured in Pokemon Dream Radar, they will automatically have new forms and Abilities. Their forms can be changed at Abundant Shrine when the Reveal Glass is used.

The legendary Pokemon Keldeo also has a new form. Take Kaldeo to the small area in the back of Floccesy Town to teach it Secret Sword. Investigating the broken mountain will allow it to learn this new move. Learning Secret Sword will automatically change its form. If Keldeo forgets this move, its form will revert back to the original.

I created a new game, why can't I save?

Before saving in a new game, you must delete all saved data from the game.

How do you delete Saved Data?

Press UP + SELECT + B at the main menu. After you do that, the game will ask if you really want to delete all data. If you delete the saved data, you will never be able to get it back.

How do you "soft" reset the game?

Press L + R + START + SELECT. This will return you to the main menu. Make sure you know when you saved last.
