Real-World Experience

I was ready to give up on Pokémon White 2’s Challenge Mode. The relentless difficulty was crushing my spirits. But I stumbled upon a few simple tweaks that made all the difference. I’m so glad I stuck it out, because this is one of the most rewarding Pokémon experiences I’ve ever had.

Everyday Use

One of the best changes I made was to focus on getting type coverage early on. In regular Pokémon games, it’s easy to get away with using a few powerful Pokémon to dominate. But Challenge Mode forces you to think more strategically. Having a wide variety of Pokémon gives you a better chance of handling any situation.

Everyday Use

Another tip is to use all the resources at your disposal. Explore every nook and cranny of the game world to find hidden items, power-ups, and experience points. You can also talk to other players and read guides online. The more you know about the game, the easier it will be to overcome its challenges.
