Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Elite Four

First challenge and postgame rematches

Unova’s four Elite Four members can be challenged in any order. Normal Mode first teams have four Pokémon at levels 56–58; Challenge Mode first teams add a fifth Pokémon at levels 60–62. After the first Hall of Fame, each member fields six Pokémon: levels 72–74 in Normal Mode or 77–79 in Challenge Mode.

Champion Iris follows the four Elite Four victories on the first visit. Her Normal Mode first team has five level 57 Pokémon and level 59 Haxorus; Challenge Mode uses levels 61–63. Her rematch rises to levels 76–78 in Normal Mode or 81–83 in Challenge Mode. The Challenge rematch replaces Druddigon with Salamence. Haxorus holds a Focus Sash, while the Normal Mode Druddigon carries a Life Orb. Account for coverage moves and items as well as levels.

Difficulty keys and exact scope

Defeating Iris in Black 2 unlocks the Challenge Key; defeating her in White 2 unlocks the Easy Key. A player with a key can send it to another Black 2 or White 2 cartridge through the infrared Unova Link feature. Activate the received mode in Unova Link; deleting the save and starting again removes its keys. Both game versions can therefore use a shared difficulty key. The browser records Normal and Challenge Mode teams from the preserved sequel tables. Easy Mode lowers displayed levels and changes opponent behavior, but its exact level records are outside these tables and are not inferred here.

Use the mode and battle selectors to search only the team you will face. “All modes” or “Both battles” compares the preserved records. Linked regional Pokémon open local species profiles; linked moves, abilities and items open the sequel reference pages. Generation V has no Fairy type. The listed levels identify the source team records; the page does not calculate difficulty-mode battle stats.
