Complete walkthrough for Route 15 in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, including trainer battles, item locations, and wild Pokémon encounters.
Route 15 is the final route covered in this guide. Near the entrance, you'll encounter a Pokefan.
Trainer Battle: Pokefan
Pokemon: Meowth (60), Glameow (60), Liepard (60)
After the battle, you can head towards Marvelous Bridge, but this walkthrough assumes you want to explore Route 15 fully. Head south from the Pokefan and use Strength on the boulder. Push it three tiles south, one tile east, one tile south, and one tile east into the hole. This allows you to obtain TM26 - Earthquake. If you get the boulder stuck, exit the area to reset it.
From the boulder puzzle, head north-east through the Tall Grass to another boulder. Push this one three tiles west, two tiles north, and one tile east. Then, battle the female Backpacker to the south.
Trainer Battle: Backpacker
Pokemon: Poochyena (60), Torkoal (60), Cubone (60)
After the battle, return north over the boulder and up the stairs. Head north through the Dark Grass and use your Dowsing MCHN to find a hidden Ultra Ball. Return down the stairs and head west to another set of stairs. Go up and follow the path under the bridge to find a Max Potion. Jump over the ledge to the south where a male Backpacker awaits.
Trainer Battle: Backpacker
Pokemon: Seedot (60), Croagunk (60), Cacnea (60)
After defeating the male Backpacker, head east and jump over the first ledge. Use your Dowsing MCHN to find a hidden HP Up. Jump down the second ledge, then circle around to the northern ledge and jump back over to return to the previous area.
Head west up the stairs to find another Pokefan.
Trainer Battle: Pokefan
Pokemon: Growlithe (60), Stoutland (60), Houndour (60)
To the north, you'll see the gate to Marvelous Bridge. Before heading there, visit the trailer to the north. Inside, Scientist Lilian will trade you a Level 60 Rotom for a Ditto. Rotom can be bred with Ditto to produce more.
Exit the trailer and head east, then north up the stairs and over the small bridge to find another Scientist who wants to battle.
Trainer Battle: Scientist
Pokemon: Gulpin (60), Garbodor (60), Magnezone (60)
The nearby building is the Pokemon Transfer Lab, which allows you to transfer Pokémon from Generation III games and onwards. After your business there, head back to the western gate and proceed onto Marvelous Bridge.
