General Changes and Information
=========================================================
Trainer rosters in every area have been modified. Important trainers have their
entire roster listed below including species, levels, items, moves.
Indeed, trainers have been made more difficult across the board, compared to the
base game. Compared to Vanilla Black and White 2, you will see a much greater
variety in team composition, as is standard in these projects.
Pokémon Black and White 2 both have inbuilt difficulty modes, which Redux takes
full advantage of.
- Easy mode and Normal Mode both share Trainer rosters team. Where applicable,
trainers have a unique Challenge Mode team.
Compared to the other modes, Challenge Mode increases the levels of trainers and
important trainers have separate, Challenge Mode only teams.
- Where a trainer shares a team between all three difficulty modes, this increase
in levels is separately noted.
- Where a trainer on Challenge mode has a unique team, the trainer's levels are as
stated.
Easy mode differs from Normal mode only by subtracting levels, equal to what they
are raised by in Challenge mode. This is also noted.

This document has been broken down into trainer categories for convenience.
However, the best way to navigate this document is likely to search for specific
trainers [Control-F, Find in page etc.].

Level Cap and Guide
=========================================================
Many players enjoy sticking to the 'level caps' of important trainers. Below is
information on the Redux level curves.
You are of course free to ignore this though, if it's not your thing :).
Now that the game has been out a little while, these caps include spoiler-free caps
for new battles in Redux. These are the recommended caps for playing challenge
runs, but you are of course free to play as you see fit :).

Challenge Mode:
Double Battle.
Double Battle.
On Easy and Normal mode, the trainers will allow the player to pass immediately.
On Challenge Mode only, the trainers will only allow you to pass if you have 8
badges and you can defeat them in battle!
After advancing through Victory Road, the player will encounter Lance - Champion of
the Kanto and Johto regions - training a small group of trainers.
- Players on Easy Mode can choose if they want to fight the first two trainers.
The rest of the trainers and Lance will not fight the player.
- Players on Normal Mode will battle the first two trainers. They can then choose
to battle the other two trainers. Again, Lance will not fight the player.
- Players on Challenge Mode will battle all four trainers and Lance. However, the
player will do so in a gauntlet.
- The Hail and Sun trainers are fought back-to-back. The player is healed
between battles. Then the Rain and Sand trainers are fought back-to-back. The
player is healed between battles. Finally, Lance can be fought.
- Prepare for a brutal challenge which will push you to your absolute limits,
against all Gen V weather has to throw at you!
Upon witnessing the initial cutscene, the difficulty of the gauntlet is set. Thus,
you should pick your difficulty before you get here!
