Pokémon Black 2 / White 2 / Unova Champion

Iris

Unova Champion · Opelucid City / Pokémon League

Iris becomes Unova’s Champion in Black 2 and White 2. Her connection with Dragon training remains important, but her League team is broader than a single-type Gym roster.

  • Story: The player meets her in a Unova where former rivals and Gym figures have taken on new responsibilities. Her Champion battle concludes the main League challenge.
  • In the game: Prepare for a mixed team and powerful Dragon threats, particularly Haxorus. This is Generation V, so Fairy-type counters are unavailable; coverage and defensive planning must use the systems that actually exist here.
