IV Breeding

Theoretically, you IV breed then only you EV train.. But the reason it's put after EV training is because it's less important compared to EV train or nature.. Slightly unlike EV training.. If EV training is all about effort.. Then I would say IV breeding is all about luck..

What's IV breeding?
"IV" stands for Individual Values.. Just like us, some of us are born with a better creativity, athletic or smart while some are less fortunate.. Pokemons have these IV ranges from 0 to 31 each stats.. It acts like a ratio, so of course 31 is the best.. A Pokemon with 31 IVs in all its 6 stats is called flawless pokemon..

Now let's talk about "luck".. 3 IVs are RANDOMLY taken from any parents.. While the other 3 IVs are total random.. However, there's Power Items which can fix one of  the parent's IV for his/her child.. So assuming one of the parents have a max IV, you can easily pass down to the child, but don't forget about nature.. Another parent will have to get his/her nature pass down to his/her child with Everstone.. What I am trying to imply is, getting a correct nature with one 31 IV is pretty simple.. You can probably get it less than an hour.. But if you are aiming two 31 IVs with correct stat, it should spent you an hour.. 3 max IV with correct nature will takes you hours, or maybe days if you are aiming for really good IV.. I just want to let you know this before you start.. :)

Why IV Breed?
Probably if you want to try wifi battle.. Otherwise it doesn't play any important role in game unless you are crazy about Battle Subway.. This is my opinion if you ask how "important" is IV in wifi battle.. Let's say both you and your opponent started with a Gengar with Timid nature.. And both of them have 252 EVs in Spd and Sp.Atk stats, which isn't surprising.. In this case, whoever has the first hit has a high chance killing opposing first with Shadow Ball.. So the question now is who goes first? The answer will be your IV.. Even if it's just a difference of 30 and 31.. It will decides who lands the finishing blow..

How to Know the IVs of Each Pokemons?
Let me say this first, you can only check a Pokemon's IVs if you know its EVs.. If it's a newborn/new-caught Poke, then it has 0 EV.. But if it's the Poke which you used to battle randomly in game, you can't check its IV without hacking the game..

There's few ways... You can get a rough reading from a boy with blue hair in Battle Subway.. First he will tell you the overall IV of your Poke.. The best would be "Outstanding", with nearly all stat above 28 IVs, followed by "Relatively superior".. Then he will talk about its highest IV (he will mentioned all if there's more than one of the same value) and the rough value of it.. The best would be "It can't be better", means that Poke has 31 IVs on that particular stat.. Followed by "It's fantastic", which should be around 2x~30..

The second way is the Rare Candies method.. You will need at least 30 of it.. The reason we use Rare Candies is because there's no EV invest.. So you can Rare Candy a Poke till lvl 30 + to know its stat better.. Once you have a "clearer" stat, go to the net and check for IV calculator.. Type the nature, stat etc. into it and it will tell you all of its value.. The more Rare Candies you use, the more accurate it is.. 50 should get you an accurate result..

The third way will be wireless/wifi battle with a friend.. You will, probably, want to lose on purpose in this case.. Set a battle fixed at lvl 50/100 with your friend.. Then during your turn, check and write down all of your 6 Pokemons' stat.. After the battle, go to the net and check with the IV calculator..

The third way will be PWT, you can enter the Unova tournament.. Save before you participate.. They will default your Pokemon lvl to 50.. Then from there, note down all your 3 or 4 Pokemons.. Then use IV calculator to check their exact IV.. After you are done, just reset your game.. *Credit goes to Gayr*

What you need for IV Breeding
All Power Items, or at least the important ones.. These Power Items will fixed one of the parents' stat.. Means you can have easily 2 stats fixed, assuming that the parents have good/max IV..

Everstone, I bet without effort you will have one.. And you should know it's pretty useful for breeding as well.. This item fix one of the parents' nature to pass down to his/her child..

Last but not least, lots of Dittos.. I'm not sure if you are willing to spend time on this, but I do think it's helpful.. Try to get at least a box of Dittos.. You should be able to get all the important natures such as Adamant, Timid, Modest etc.. Meanwhile, you should also get some with max IV in their stat.. Release all the "useless" ones, keep each of good natures and max IV of each stat.. You might want to name them and write down in your notepad so you can recognize them..

How to IV Breed?
Just like your usual breeding, attach Everstone to the Ditto with the nature you want and breed with the Poke you want..
Ditto with Everstone (Nature) x Poke = Child 1 (Nature)
Once you get the nature correct, breed it with another Ditto with the max IV you want WITH the correct power item attached to it..
Ditto with Power Item 1 (No.1 Max IV) x Child 1 with Everstone (Nature) = Child 2 (No.1 Max IV & Nature)
Once you have another child with the max IV and the correct nature, attach the previous power item on it.. And get another Ditto with another max IV you want, of course attach the power item that fixed it.. Breed both of them..
Ditto with Power Item 2 (No.2 Max IV) x Child 2 with Everstone (No.1 Max IV & Nature) = Child 3 (No.1 & No.2 Max IV & Nature + Time)
From here, you are close to getting what you want, all you have to do is wait till a child with two max IV.. To improve your chance/poke even greater.. The result will be based on your luck and requirement.. Keep switching the parents with the child if the child's IV is better, even if both of them have the same max IV, because this way, you no longer need to attach that particular power item as the chances of getting it fixed is slightly higher.. If you are lucky enough, you might even get extra max IV out of no where.. Keep doing this till you get your ideal Ability, Nature, two max IV you wanted and the guy in Battle Subway says it's overall IV is "superior" or better still "Outstanding"..

Dream World Ability
Female parents have their own role as well, they increase the chance of the child getting same ability with them.. But obviously passing down DW ability is like 10 times harder.. Simple, because both Parents must not be Ditto to pass down the ability.. Second, passing down DW ability is not even 50%.. Third, DW ability can only pass down by the FEMALE Poke.. But don't worry, Ditto is not useless even if the first rule apply..
Ditto with Everstone (Nature) x DW FEMALE Poke = MALE Poke (Nature)  
MALE Poke with Everstone (Nature) x DW FEMALE Poke = DW FEMALE (Nature)
Ditto with Power Item 1 (No.1 Max IV) x DW FEMALE with Everstone (Nature) = MALE Poke (No.1 Max IV & Nature) 
MALE Poke with Power Item 1 (No.1 Max IV & Nature) x  DW FEMALE with Everstone (Nature) = DW FEMALE (No.1 Max IV & Nature) 
Ditto with Power Item 2 (No.2 Max IV) x DW FEMALE with Everstone (No.1 Max IV & Nature) = MALE Poke (No.1&2 Max IV )
MALE Poke with Power Item 2 (No.1&2 Max IV ) x DW FEMALE with Everstone (No.1 Max IV & Nature) = ~
Moves
Moves can only be passed down by the MALE parent, kinda reverse of DW.. However it should be faster/easier because passing down move(s) is 100%.. Not only that, you can breed it with Ditto just to pass down its move.. As long as you haven't take out the male the parent, it will keep on passing his move to the child even if it's erased by the breeder (of course you don't know whether it's deleted or not). But be aware that the moment you took the male out, there's a high chance that his move will be erase.. Even if you put him back, he won't be able to pass down the old moves to his child.. So if you doesn't want that to happen, delete one or two moves to that the Breeder won't erase his move randomly..

EV Training

Taadaaa! I hereby present you the EV Training lesson! I have always wanted to write this because I fear that in future I might forget it.. In fact I always forgot bit by bit if I stopped playing Pokemon for 3 months+.. So this is a message to my future self.. However I believe that a lot of you don't get how to do this even if you have checked the net..

What is EV Training?
EV stands for Effort Value.. Just like its name stated, it needs effort.. The purpose of this is to maximize your Poke's stat.. These EVs have limit, so EV training is used to make full use of them.. For example, if you are using Haxorus.. You will need high Atk and Spd.. So, let's say you keep battling Pokes randomly, you will probably produce just an average Haxorus.. Yes, IF you battle RANDOMLY.. That's to say it's nearly impossible for you to EV train during Story Mode.. Those Pokes you use to pass through Story Mode, even any wild Pokes/trainers in Post Game, are probably fully invested with random EVs to the point it's more or less permanently incurable..

Unlike "rubbish" training to get a Poke lvl 100, you will need to battle the probably-same Pokes for about 20~25 times MINIMUM or 252 times MAXIMUM just for one max stat without any vitamins used.. If you ask me whether you should try to EV train then I will say... Depends! If you don't have Pokerus currently, give up.. If you have it already, then go for it.. Cause you will totally be having different point of view in Pokemon.. AS IF THIS GAME IS FOR CHILDREN ONLY!

When to EV Train?
If you are still in "Story Mode", don't bother.. The earliest to start EV training is in post-game.. But it's really unnecessary too, cause all you need is out-lvl every opponent you are going to face.. So when? Probably when you are aiming for Battle Subway/tournament-like or competitive battles (means battle with another player) because here, lvls are fixed.. Plus, I would HIGHLY suggest you have these before you start..
  • Pokerus (Get it from GTS, keep offering Pokes for Pokes till you can get one)
  • Power Items
If you already have all that and a Poke you are ready to EV train, check the nature before you begin.. Seriously, nature is as important as EVs.. There's no point for you to EV train a Modest (Atk down, Sp.Atk up) Anew in the first place..

Pokerus & Power Items
Before I continue, you need to know their jobs.. You can actually get Pokerus in game, but it's rarer than meeting a shiny Poke, or so I heard.. It doesn't give you any hint in appearance like shinies in battle.. So you can't tell that the Poke is Pokerus or not.. You will get Pokerus if you battled with it, running is out of question.. However, you can't tell if it's infected or not till you talk to Nurse Joy.. She will tell you your Poke is infected by a virus.. Basically, it's all about luck getting one.. The purpose of this virus is twice the EVs you get each battle..

There's another sign that tells you if your Pokes are infected.. If you look at its stat page, under its name it will have Pokerus sign (with purple coloured box) or a small smiley.. Pokerus will only lasts 48hrs, after that it turned into a smiley.. It still give that Pokerus-ed pokes x2 EVs, but it can't spread anymore.. You can freeze Pokerus by putting it in PC..So if you have the Pokerus one, quickly spread it to other Pokes.. To spread it easily, have the Pokerus poke in the middle (3rd/4th) of the team.. Then use your 1st Poke (of course not the one you are EV-ing) keep beating random wild Pokes.. Eventually all the 6 Pokes in your party will have it..  Keep repeating this for at least 2~3  times and store some Pokerus poke you seldom use in PC..Since it's pretty easy to spread, GTS has became one of the best source for you to get one.. Of course, it's random as well..

I think Pokerus is far more important than Power items.. I would say it's a MUST to have in fact.. Reason? I did say you are going to mass battle the wild pokes right? What if you get Pokerus in the middle of EV training a non-Pokerus poke? The whole process will be messed up.. That's why you might not want to start EV train without Pokerus..

There's total 6 power items, each of them helps you in their respective stat.. Power items have 2 purposes.. One of it is to pass down the IV of the parent to the child, ignore this purpose for now.. The second is to add 4 EVs after each battle REGARDLESS of the opposing Poke you against.. Let's say you attach Power Anklet (for Spd) on your Magnemite and it defeated a Golduck (for Sp.Atk).. The Magnemite will gets 4 Spd EVs and 2 Sp.Atk EVs..

I noticed BW2 is kind enough to give the players Power Items, not all though..

For B2:
Power Anklet: In Route 4, there's a girl in the first house from the top/Join Avenue who is willing to trade a Cottonee for Petilil.. The TRADED Petilil will hold Power Anklet ..
Power Lens: Route 13, it's located in the west-most and it's pretty much hidden.. Inside the house, there will be someone who will give you Power Lens.
Power Band: You should get it during the story inside the Plasma's ship..

For W2:
Power Weight: In Route 4, there's a boy with cap in the second house from left who is willing to trade a Petilil for Cottonee.. The traded Cottonee will hold Power Weight..
Power Band: Route 13, it's located in the west-most and it's pretty much hidden.. Inside the house, there will be someone who will give you Power Lens.
Power Belt: You should get it during the story inside the Plasma's ship..

The rest you will have to get it from PWT/Battle Subway.. Since you haven't EV trained, you are going to face trouble at first.. Still you need to get enough BP to buy all.. You will need one each.. Get the important ones first: Spd, Atk and Sp.Atk.. Second get HP.. Lastly Def and Sp.Def..

How to EV Train?
Here's the basic rules you need to know..
  • Every Pokes can only store 510 EVs.. Any additional EVs won't have any effect..
  • One stat can only have 255 EVs..
  • 4 Evs makes +1 stat
From these, if you are analytical, you should know that..
  1. Since 255 is not divisible by 4, it's the best to have only 252 Evs the most in a stat..
  2. So, you can have 2 stats maxed with Evs.. (Total Evs: 504)
  3. With the another 4 Evs, we can make another +1 stat on the 3rd stat.. That's to say the 2 Evs left is useless..
With this, we conclude that a Poke can have 2 max stat and +1 stat for the 3rd one.. Well, I believe some of you think that "Might as well we ditch the 3rd one to make our job easier.. This way, we don't need to keep calculator by our side.. " TRUE! Go ahead, IF you are not a hardcore battler, because that +1 stat isn't going to help anything in-game..

And this is really basic and most-probable type of EV Train.. When you enter the pro's lvl, you will be calculative enough to invest a specific amount of EVs just "enough" to do this and that.. Like 252 Atk EVs, 120 Def EVs, 136 Sp.Def EVs etc.. Don't ask me how to get this, but it's MOSTLY apply for tanker Pokes where they need both Def and Sp.Def..

Okay now on the real "How".. First Pokerus the Poke you are going to EV-train.. Then equip your Poke with Power item depending on which stat you are boosting.. I shall assume the Poke you are going to EV-train is weak/low lvl now.. Put that Poke as the 1st Poke.. The first thing you do when you encounter a wild poke for EVs, switch it to your "boss" Poke which can kill the wild poke within 2 turns.. Please don't think this as an EV train for your boss poke cause you will make things messy.. You will only get EVs if you DEFEATED the Poke.. Running/Catching doesn't count..

Always invest both the 252 EVs first.. Then check with Bianca through Xtransceiver who will tell you whether your Poke is filled with 510 EVs or no.. If she says yes, you either did the wrong thing OR you accidentally invested both stats 255 EVs.. If not, you are PROBABLY on the right track.. Do the 4 EVs one, since it's small amount, don't use any Power items.. Then check with Bianca again, she should says it still has to work hard.. Then jsut randomly get EXACTLY 2 EVs from wild poke and ask again.. If she says it has 510 EVs, then you are correct all the way.. If not.. Means you calculate something "less"..

How to Calculate EV?
Learn how to calculate EVs given by each battle! SIMPLE, if you have nothing but Poke here.. You need 252 Evs in one stat right? If you battle a Poke that gives you 1 Evs, then you will need to defeat 252 of them.. If you battle a Poke that gives you 2 EVs,then you will need to defeat 126 of them.. That's why I highly suggest you to have the stuff above before starting EV training.. So let's say we are going to EV train a Chandelure (a Sp.Atker) that has Pokerus or/and Power Lens attached to it.. It defeated a Golduck in battle..

Total Sp.Atk EV gained after this battle with Pokerus ONLY
= [2 (Golduck's Given EVs)] x 2 (Pokerus' effect)
= 2 x 2 = 4 Sp.Atk EVs -------------------------- Total Golduck needed: 63

Total Sp.Atk EV gained after this battle with Power Lens ONLY
= 2 (Golduck's Given EVs) + 4 (Power Lens)
= 6 Sp.Atk EVs -------------------------- Total Golduck needed: 42

Total Sp.Atk EV gained after this battle with Pokerus and Power Lens
= [2 (Golduck's Given EVs) + 4 (Power Lens)] x 2 (Pokerus' effect)
= 6 x 2 = 12 Sp.Atk Evs -------------------------- Total Golduck needed: 21

Since you need 252 Sp.Atk EVs, you will have to defeat EXACTLY 21 Golduck with both Pokerus and Power item, no more no less.. So how to record? Two ways.. If your 2nd Poke is able to OTK the wild Poke, then record it by its PP used.. If not, a safer way is to do a tally chart.. You know? The one cut means one thing?

Just in case you still haven't notice, there's NO WAY you can tell a poke how many EVs are invested on which stat.. You can only call Bianca with Xtransceiver to check if your Poke has 510 EVs or not.. Means if you miscalculate, it's going to be one hell of work.. If you accidentally invest more, then you might want to move to the "lazy" way investing 255 EVs on both stats.. If you invest less (which you roughly know).. Then you will probably have to invest EXACTLY 252 EVs and 4 EVs on the other stats then come back for this mistake again.. You can just invest the miscalculate EVs to max till Bianca says you have fully invested 510 EVs.. If you invest less (which you don't even notice till last minute) it's pretty the worst situation.. It's pretty hopeless.. You might want to use EV reducing berries on whichever stat you think it's a mistake..

Where to EV train?
Here's my list for BW2:
  • Atk: Victory Road's first cave where you enter from Route 23.. Here, we have Banette and Golurk which gives you 2Atk EVs with 100% meeting rate..
  • Sp.Atk: Celestia Tower, all Pokes here give 1 Sp.Atk EV except Golbat.. Flee if encountered it..
  • Def: No idea yet.
  • Sp.Def: Route 18/P2 Lab.. By surfing you will be able to encounter Frillish at 100% meeting rate.. But beware of ripping water.. Each Frillish will gives 1 Sp.Def EV..
  • Spd: The lake in Asperia City.. Each Basculin gives 2 Spd EVs
  • HP: Iccirus City, surfing here will get you Stunfisk who gives 2 HP EVs.. You will also be able to meet Palpitoad and Stunfisk in the shallow water.. However it's not 100% meeting rate, so be aware of what poke you encounter..
As you can see, this list is superb incomplete cause I don't plan to EV train in my JP game.. If you have any suggestion, feel free to leave a comment.. :)

But here's an idea how to find a good hotspot.. Make sure that Pokes will appear as often as possible.. It's also fine if there's other Poke that gives same and exact EVs as that one..  If possible, get low lvl wild pokes which enables you to OTK them.. Also, it would be the best if the Pokes that give 2 EVs.. 1 EV needs more calculating and more battles.. Avoid those who gives 3 EVs cause they are too rare..

Other Stuff that Affects EV
Vitamins: Ever wonder what's the use of Protein, Carbon and stuff? They gives 10 EVs depending on the stat they are in charged.. Though their effect will only stacks up to 100 of that particular stat.. After that they won't be able to take anymore.. Just my opinion, no need for vitamins.. The vitamins are expensive, and they have limit..

Wings: Just like vitamins.. They only gives 1 EV each and there's no limit for this.. They are useful as a correction for your calculation during EV training..You can save before use, then check with Bianca..This way you can tell if your calculation has been right or not..

EV-Reducing Berries: Each of these berries reduce 10 EVs from a specific stat.. It's the only thing that can save you when you make an error in EV training.. You can get these berries from Berry Shop in Join Avenue, or a girl who's selling 5x (random) berries each day for 200dollars in Route 5..

Macho Brace: Twice the EVs like Pokerus.. Again, in my opinion.. Power items are far better than this..

Exp.Share: The shared poke gains EVs equal to the opposing poke given.. Don't bother to use this for EV training..

The End of Lesson
So this is the end of it.. The moment you used up all 510 EVs, you can randomly battle Pokes without any worries.. Well, I hope you do understand what's in here.. Feel free to drop any quests on the comment box.. :)

Pokemon World Tournament (PWT)

Pokemon World Tournament (PWT) is probably one of the fun challenge in the game.. In short, you will have to battle with 3 trainers like the Battle Subway to win the tournament.. Every type of tournaments here will offer you either Single, Double, Triple or Rotational battles.. If you win, you will get 1BP for Single Battle or Double Battle.. You will win 2BP for Triple or Rotational Battles.. If you lose, you will still get a Shard.. Single Battle uses 3 Pokes, while the others need 4 Pokes.. For unknown reason, you seems to be able to use Uber Pokes like Zekrom in the Left Side Tournaments and Unove Gym Leader Tournament..

Left Side Tournament (Green woman)
  • Driftveil Tournament
- The lvl will be fixed at 25.. It's a small tournament with 2~3 gym leaders entered..
  •  Rental Tournament
- You will be randomly given 6 Pokes here.. You will have to choose 3/4 Pokes (depends on your battle) out of those Pokes.. In my opinion, this is probably the hardest tournament here.. The Pokes they are giving you is weak, as in they aren't fully evolved..
  • Mix Tournament
 - The lvl will be fixed at 50.. This is an interesting one.. Before the battle start, your opponent will take one of your Pokes, you will then have to choose one of his/her Pokes.. The selected Pokes will be swapped... You can't arrange your team after swapped, means if your opponent takes away your starting Poke, you will have to use his Poke as your starting one.. The Pokes will be returned after each battle.. 
  • Download Tournament
 - Like the name stated, you will be able to play with the international top team after you have downloaded them from wifi..

Right Side Tournament (Red Women)
Here, it will be a tournament with only the gym leaders.. The lvl will be fixed at 50.. Since it's gym leaders, I highly suggest that you play this in Rotational Battle.. If you have their weakness, you can just use one Poke and use the same move on the 4 Pokes they will be using.. You will be only able to choose Unova Tournament at first.. Once you have win this, you will unlocked Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh Tournaments..

Once who have beaten all of the region tournaments, you will be able to unlock Leader Tournament, here you will be battling gym leader regardless of their regions.. Beat this tournament for 10 times and you will unlock Champion Tournament, where you will be able to fight all the Champions so far with Red included..

Elite 4

From Lacunosa Town, go to Route 13 then enter the Giant Chasm's cave.. Now heads toward the west, you will see an exit here.. Now, you will be on Route 23.. You will meet lots of trainers before reaching the gate.. Before you reach the fancy gates, you will meet N who will give you Waterfall HM.. Now go through the road till you reach the gates that check all your badges.. Heal your Pokes and buy lots of healing items.. We are heading to the Victory Road BW2 version..

You will first go through a nicely decorated underground.. Once you have reach outside of the cave, march toward the north.. You will eventually see a doctor outside of another cave.. Go inside the cave and head to north-west.. If you go to other exits, it will most probably leads you back to the "nicely decorated" cave.. Through you will get items in process, so it's up to you whether you wanna explore or not..

March all your way to the top.. When you enter the old Victory Road's cave, your rival will ambush you for a battle.. BUT! You should be glad, because the moment you sees him, it means you are just few steps away from Elite 4! After defeat him, you will get Thunderbolt TM from him.. Get out of the cave.. Head north and of course, here's the Elite 4..

Buy LOTS of Super/Hyper Potions, condition items and Revives.. For those who are using Emboar, you might want to get Arm Hammer from Remember-old-move in PWT.. X-Scissor is pretty a must for Serperior.. Serperior will totally be useless against Iris, so for those who use it, you need tons of hard work on other pokes..  Samurott shouldn't be a problem, since it can learn Ice Beam..

Like BW, you can challenge the Elite 4 in any sequence.. IMO, it doesn't matter which one you battle first though.. It doesn't change the fact you have to face him/her later.. They will be using 4 Pokes each with lvl 56~58.. The champion will have 6 Pokes with lvl 57~59.. The first will be ghost, second will be dark, third will be psychic and fourth will be fighting.. Iris will of course be dragon-type.. After each battle, heal all your Pokes with your items then save before entering the next room..

The real shit comes from Champion Iris.. She started with Hydreigon, I would highly suggest you kill every Poke she uses within a turn or two cause most of her pokes hit hard.. Be alert that she has wide type usage, means she can hit you by weakness more than you can do to her.. So yea, speed is important here.. Her trump, Haxorus, will of course be the deadliest here.. It will be holding Focus Sash, so OTK won't work.. Don't ever let it Dragon Dance twice, you might need to turn off your Ds if she did that..

After you have won, it will be the Hall Of Fame time.. Then you (automatically) leaves the Elite 4 with their escort.. The credits will then roll, while showing you backtrack all the way back from where you came from.. You will visit the gym leaders from the last to the first one.. And eventually meet up with your mom.. The End... And welcome to the Post Game.. :)

Seigaiha City (8th Gym)

Here's Seigaiha City, or known as Humilau City in EN.. You will see your rival here, but he doesn't do anything.. So ignore him.. Notice the blue building on the right? This building will lead you back to Undella Town via Underwater tunnel.. There's nothing but just for your information.. :) Marlon will jump out from the water when you heads toward the village.. After the event, you are free to challenge the gym anytime.. But before that let's do some training first, head to the north-west, Route 22 to explore everything except the cave, Giant Chasm, on the west side..

This will obviously be a Water-type gym.. If you have a good Lightning/Grass Poke, this will be a piece of cake.. The gym riddle is like this.. You will have to step on the lotus to reach the leader.. The lotus will only move in a straight line.. And the lotus can also bang another lotus.. In this case, the 2nd lotus will move till it hits something while the one you step on will be stationary.. His Pokes' lvls will be 49~51..

After you have defeated him, go to Route 22.. On the way, you will see Terrakion and meet Colress.. Colress will give you the device that makes the "rock" blocking one of the exit in Seaside Cave moves.. Catch Terrakion, heal fully and head back to Seaside Cave.. The other exit is on the same floor, it's on the right side.. So don't bother going through any floor.. After going through the exit, you will see Team Plasma's ship landed here..

Together with your rival, you will infiltrate the ship.. First go to the room at the top side, both of you will notice that there's lightning that stops you from going through.. Now go to the stair below.. Here you will have to defeat LOTS of Team Plasma's members.. But don't worry cause you will be able to heal in the second room on the right.. Just click on the bed there to here, other rooms' beds don't work though.. Depending on your games, you have different missions..

For B2: Your mission is to get to a wrap panel that wraps you to a room with switch.. There's total 4 switches that you have to shut down..

For W2: You have to get a password and a Team Plasma's card from the grunts.. Each grunts you fought will give you a hint or the card.. There's a lot of hints so the password is simple, "Reshiram"..

Once you have accomplished the mission, go back to the room just now.. But they will again, kick you out of the ship.. Now head back to Route 22 and enter the cave.. This cave is Giant Chasm and will leads you to Giant Chasm.. The moment you reach inner side of Giant Chasm, you will see the old sage there helping out.. Now head to the middle where the ship landed and board on the ship again..

This time go to the lower room.. You will eventually notice there's a room where it blocks you from proceeding further with lightning, again.. Again, depends on which version you are playing, the mission is different.. It's reversed.. You will have a doctor far at the south side.. So, I highly suggest you to beat him first..

For B2: This time, you will need both card and password to switch off.. You have to go to the lower part and fight the trainers till you get Team Plasma's card.. They will also give you hints on the password.. The password should be either 2202, 7707 or 9909..

For W2: Now, you will be playing wrap panels like B2 did.. You will have to go through all the wrap panels till you get to 4 switch rooms.. You will have to switch off all the switch..

Once you have go through the lightning-ed gate, you will be ambushed by Zinzolin.. After you have defeated him, go to the right side and step on the wrap panel.. You will be sent to Colress' room.. Defeat him and leave the room.. Now go to the left wrap panel, this one will sent you to Ghetsis' room.. He will then run away leaving the ninjas with you.. You will have to defeat all the 3 ninjas to pass through them.. Once you are able to leave the ship, head to cliff..

You will then see Kyurem with Ghetsis.. N will then appear with Zekrom/Reshiram.. But eventually Zekrom/Reshiram will be absorbed by Kyurem forming Black/White Kyurem.. Now, you will have to defeat Black/White Kyurem.. This time you won't be able to catch it, it's still Ghetsis and N's Poke.. After you have beaten it, you will be challenged by Ghetsis.. You will be healed, so don't worry about your HP.. After you won the battle, N will leaves with Zekrom/Reshiram and you are "officially" done with Team Plasma.. Go back to the cave that leads you to Giant Chasm, and use the south exit which leads you to Route 13.. Use Strength to make a road.. Now you will be able to enter Giant Chasm from Route 13/Lacunosa Town..
