Guide your Pokémon through the Plasma Frigate in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Learn strategies for double battles and defeat Team Plasma Grunts.

Alright, you've made it to the Plasma Frigate! This is where things get serious with Team Plasma. You'll need to take on a few trainers before the plot can move forward. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it.

Walkthrough
  1. 1

    First up, you'll face a solo battle against a Team Plasma Grunt. They've got a Level 30 Koffing, which is a Poison-type. Just a straightforward fight to get you warmed up.

  2. 2

    Next, you'll battle another Team Plasma Grunt, this time with a Level 30 Trubbish. Another Poison-type, so keep that in mind when choosing your Pokémon.

  3. 3

    Now, things get a bit more interesting. You'll need to engage in a double battle alongside Cheren against two Team Plasma Grunts. Cheren's got a solid team, so work together!

    • Opponent 1: Level 29 Grimer (Poison) and Level 29 Krokorok (Ground/Dark).
  4. 4
    Opponent 2: Level 29 Golbat (Poison/Flying) and Level 29 Liepard (Dark).
  5. 5

    After that, it's time for the final double battle, this time teaming up with Hugh! This is the last hurdle before the plot progresses.

    • Opponent 1: Level 29 Grimer (Poison) and Level 29 Raticate (Normal).
  6. 6
    Opponent 2: Level 29 Koffing (Poison) and Level 29 Watchog (Normal).
  7. 7
    If you picked Snivy: Level 33 Pignite (Fire/Fighting), Level 31 Simipour (Water), Level 31 Tranquill (Normal/Flying).
  8. 8
    If you picked Tepig: Level 33 Dewott (Water), Level 31 Simisage (Grass), Level 31 Tranquill (Normal/Flying).
  9. 9
    If you picked Oshawott: Level 33 Servine (Grass), Level 31 Simisear (Fire), Level 31 Tranquill (Normal/Flying).

Once you've won that last battle, the Team Plasma Grunts will be at a loss. Hugh and Cheren will have a moment, and then Zinzolin shows up. After a brief chat, you'll find yourself back on the docks, and the Plasma Frigate will be gone. Hugh will run off, and Cheren will head out too. Your path forward is now clear!

Tips
  • If you need to heal or do anything else before continuing, you can leave the Plasma Frigate and come back. Just make sure you complete all the battles before leaving for good, or the plot won't advance.
  • Pay attention to the types of Pokémon your opponents are using, especially in the double battles. Having Pokémon with type advantages will make these fights much easier.
  • Work closely with your partner in the double battles. Don't accidentally attack your ally!

After this, you'll be heading towards Relic Passage (via PWT). If you've already been there, you can skip ahead to Chargestone Cave Part 2. Otherwise, make sure you've explored Route 6 and done the first pass through Chargestone Cave.
