Learn how to defeat the Team Plasma Grunt double battle in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Get details on their Pokémon and levels to prepare for the fight.

Alright, you've made it to the Plasma Frigate and you're about to run into a couple of Team Plasma Grunts. They're going to try and stop you, but don't worry, we'll get through this.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll encounter a Double Battle. This means both you and the opposing trainers will send out two Pokémon at a time. The Grunts are working together, so expect them to try and coordinate their attacks.
  2. 2
    The Male Grunt will send out his Pokémon: a level 46 Trubbish, a level 46 Garbodor, and a level 46 Golbat. Remember that Trubbish and Garbodor are pure Poison-types, while Golbat is Poison/Flying.
  3. 3
    The Female Grunt will have her Pokémon ready: a level 46 Scraggy, a level 46 Scrafty, and a level 46 Whirlipede. Scraggy and Scrafty are Dark/Fighting types, and Whirlipede is a Bug/Poison type.
  4. 4
    Since it's a double battle, try to use moves that hit multiple opponents if you have them, or focus your attacks on one Pokémon at a time to take them out faster. Be mindful of type matchups – strong Psychic or Ground-type moves will be great against the Poison-types, and Fighting or Fairy-type moves will be effective against the Dark/Fighting types.
  5. 5
    Once you've defeated both Grunts and their Pokémon, you'll be clear to proceed. Look for the teleportation pad located to your south. Step onto it to be transported further into the Plasma Frigate.
Tips
  • Since this is a double battle, consider using moves that hit both opponents, like 'Earthquake' (if you have a Pokémon immune to it, like a Flying-type) or 'Dazzling Gleam'.
  • Keep an eye on your Pokémon's HP. The Grunts' Pokémon aren't super high level, but a coordinated attack can still do significant damage. Heal up if you need to.
  • Type effectiveness is key here. Exploit weaknesses to make the battle quicker and easier.

After this battle, you'll be able to use the teleportation pad to continue your progress through the Plasma Frigate.
