Whether you're aiming to finish the story or achieve true 100% completion, we've got the strategies to shave seconds off your times and uncover every secret.

Part 1

Welcome to the Pokemon White Version 2 FAQ/Walkthrough. This guide covers the many aspects of Pokemon B/W 2, developed by Game Freak. The primary objectives remain collecting Pokemon, battling, stopping antagonists, and becoming a Pokemon Master.

Pokemon White Version 2 introduces notable changes, including the availability of previous generation Pokemon from the start of the game, allowing you to catch them before obtaining the National Dex. A significant addition is the Pokemon World Tournament, a knockout-style tournament featuring notable Pokemon Trainers from every region, including Gym Leaders, Rivals, and Elite Four Members. You can participate in both single and double battles within this tournament.

The core gameplay of Black/White 2 is largely the same as Black/White, but there is an entirely new plotline.

Exploring, Collecting, and Battling

These three pillars are what Neon White is all about. Let's break 'em down:

Exploring

The world of Neon White is huge and full of secrets. You'll be visiting all sorts of places, from bustling cities to quiet towns and winding routes connecting them. Each area has its own vibe and things to discover. You'll be talking to folks, grabbing items, and generally soaking in the atmosphere. Remember, routes are often where you'll find wild encounters and trainers itching for a fight, while special wilderness areas often hide plot progression and unique themes.

Collecting

Building your ultimate team is a huge part of the fun! You'll be snagging Pokemon from the wild by weakening them and tossing Poke Balls. While your PC can hold a ton, you can only have six active Pokemon in your party at any time. Choosing and training these six is key to tackling tougher challenges.

Battling

This is where the action really happens! Battles are a one-on-one (or sometimes more!) showdown between your Pokemon and an opponent's. You'll take turns unleashing moves to wear down the other Pokemon until it faints. There are two main types of battles: wild encounters, which are usually against single Pokemon you stumble upon, and trainer battles, where you face off against other trainers with their own teams. Wild Pokemon can be tough, but they're generally less prepared than a trainer's seasoned crew.

The basic flow of a battle is pretty straightforward: your first Pokemon faces their first Pokemon. You each take turns using moves. These moves can either dish out damage or provide buffs to your own stats.

Part 3

This section details the fundamental mechanics and advanced strategies of Pokemon battles. Understanding these elements is crucial for success, whether facing wild Pokemon or skilled trainers.

Walkthrough

1
Basic Battle Flow: Both sides choose a move simultaneously. The faster Pokemon generally acts first. Battles continue until one Pokemon faints. If a wild Pokemon faints, the battle ends. If a trainer's Pokemon faints, they choose a new one. If your Pokemon faints, you choose a replacement. The winner is the one who defeats all of the opponent's Pokemon.
2
Moves and Damage: Moves have 'Base Damage' values and can have secondary effects. Type Match-Ups significantly influence battle outcomes.
3
Player Options: Besides attacking, players can:
- Use an item (costs a turn, used before the opponent's move).
4
Switch Pokemon (costs a turn, allows for strategic deployment).
5
Run from battle (wild battles only; higher level increases success chance, failure costs a turn).
6
Advanced Battle Types:
- Double Battles (2v2): Two Pokemon per side are active. Actions are chosen simultaneously. Moves require target selection (teammates or enemies). Fainted Pokemon are replaced after all actions are resolved.
7
Triple Battles (3v3): Three Pokemon per side are active. Similar to Double Battles but with more Pokemon. Key considerations are Range and Pokemon placement.
- Range: Most moves target adjacent Pokemon. Left/right Pokemon target adjacent enemies/middle ally/middle enemy. Middle Pokemon target all. 'Long Range' moves target all.
8
Placement: Position Pokemon to exploit type advantages. The middle Pokemon should be hardy and at least type-neutral to all enemies.
9
Moving: A Pokemon can switch places with an adjacent teammate instead of using a move. This costs a turn. Be mindful of target range after switching.
10
Rotation Battles: Three Pokemon per side, but only one is active at a time. Rotation occurs before moves are used. Neither side knows the opponent's rotated Pokemon, emphasizing prediction and type diversity. To rotate, select 'Fight', then the rotation arrows, and choose a move for the new active Pokemon. Using an item keeps the current Pokemon active.

Tips

Always consider type matchups when selecting moves or switching Pokemon.
Utilize items strategically to heal or gain an advantage.
In Triple Battles, pay close attention to Pokemon positioning and move ranges.
In Rotation Battles, predict your opponent's rotations and switch to a Pokemon that has a type advantage.
