Defeat Team Plasma in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've run into some Team Plasma grunts who are being a real nuisance. Don't worry, this is a pretty straightforward encounter, and we'll get you through it so you can grab a super useful item!

Walkthrough

1
First up, you'll face a Team Plasma Grunt. Their only Pokémon is a Level 14 Patrat. This should be a pretty easy win for you.
2
After you defeat the grunt, he and his buddies will just barge past you. More chatter ensues, and then Roxie will hand over HM01. This is awesome because it teaches your Pokémon the move Cut, which you'll need to get through certain areas later on.
3
Now, it's time to head back to Route 20. You want to backtrack to where you saw the Hiker earlier.
4
Just west of the Hiker, you'll find Hugh. He's looking for the grunts, so chat with him.
5
To get back to the start of Route 20 without dealing with too much wild Pokémon grass, just jump down the ledges to your west.
6
Once you're back at the beginning of the route, head east across the bridge. You'll spot another Team Plasma Grunt to your south. Talk to her to start the next battle.
7
This grunt's only Pokémon is a Level 14 Purrloin. Again, this should be a fairly simple fight.
8
After this battle, the grunt will leave, and Hugh will have another quick chat with you. With the immediate threat gone, it's time to head back to Virbank City.

Tips

Don't forget that HM01 Cut is super important for progressing through the game, so make sure you teach it to a Pokémon you use often!
Keep an eye on your Pokémon's HP after these battles, especially if you plan on heading straight into more challenges.
