Battle Subway rules and BP preparation
Use Nimbasa’s regular and Super lines to train a team for structured Generation V battles.
Nintendo DS sequels; not the original Black and White story.
Select the line and its rules
Singles uses three Pokémon; Doubles uses four. Multi Battles divide the party between partners. Participating Pokémon are set to level 50, duplicate species and held items are restricted, and certain powerful or Mythical species cannot enter. Check the chosen line at reception before building a team.
Unlock the corresponding Super line
Win the regular 21-battle sequence to face the appropriate Subway Boss and open the corresponding Super mode. Super Singles and Super Doubles have a boss milestone at 49 consecutive wins. A streak ends on a loss, so favour reliable accuracy, coverage and recovery over a strategy that requires a fortunate opening.
Plan purchases using Battle Points
BP pays for held battle items and training tools. The item browser identifies BP acquisition separately from ordinary cash prices. Choose a specific item or EV training tool before grinding. Story healing supplies cannot be used from the Bag during facility battles.
Check your version, story progress and difficulty before using a location or battle record. These guides cover the original Nintendo DS sequels.
