Gyms - Challenge Mode

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, you will receive two items for defeating the Elite Four; in Pokémon Black 2 you will receive the option of Challenge Mode, whilst White 2 will receive the option of Assist Mode. Challenge Mode is exactly how it sounds, it raises the AI's intelligence and increases the individual Gym roster's levels by varying amounts, even adding to them.

Below is a list of the Gym Leader's rosters when you active Challenge Mode. For more information on how to acquire Challenge Mode and Assist Mode, please visit;

Gym Leader #1 - Cheren


Patrat

Normal
Level 12
Keen Eye

Pidove

Normal | Flying
Level 12
Super Luck

Lillipup

Normal
Level 14
Vital Spirit


Work Up | Bite
Tackle | Detect


Work Up | Tackle
Leer | Quick Attack

Work Up | Bite
Tackle | Helping Hand
Pro Tip: Be wary of Work Up here, it can catch you unaware and at the levels and stage of the game you will be at, you want to be careful of how much damage it'll inflict.
Gym Leader #2 - Roxie


Koffing

Poison
Level 17
Levitate

Grimer

Poison
Level 17
Stench

Whirlipede

Bug | Poison
Level 19
Poison Point

Tackle | Smog
Venoshock | Assurance


Venoshock | Mud-Slap
Disable| Poison Gas

Protect | Poison Sting
Venoshock | Rollout
Pro tip: Roxie is manageable should you have caught a Magnemite, the only move to be aware of is Grimer's Mud Slap which will be four times effective. If you haven't got a Magnemite, try and stick to things that resist Poison types as Venoshock is a powerful move at this stage of the game.
Gym Leader #3 - Burgh


Dwebble

Bug | Rock
Level 24
Sturdy

Shelmet

Bug
Level 24
Shell Armor

Karrablast

Bug
Level 24
Shed Skin

Leavanny

Bug | Grass
Level 26
Swarm

Struggle Bug | Rock Polish
Rock Blast | Faint Attack


Struggle Bug | Acid
Mega Drain| Curse


Struggle Bug | Endure
Headbutt| Aerial Ace

Struggle Bug | Aerial Ace
Grasswhistle | Razor Leaf
Pro tip: Flying types are your friends here, especially Pidove and relatives. Only Dwebble can stand up to an offensive Flying type move, but can be handled easily enough with any Pokémon capable of special attacks that are neutral at worse.
Gym Leader #4 - Elesa


Emolga

Electric | Flying
Level 30
Static

Flaaffy

Electric
Level 30
Static

Joltik

Bug | Electric
Level 30
Unnerve

Zebstrika

Electric
Level 32
Motor Drive

Quick Attack | Pursuit
Volt Switch | Aerial Ace


Volt Switch | Take Down
Confuse Ray| Thunder Wave


Volt Switch | X-Scissor
Energy Ball| Thunder Wave

Volt Switch | Stomp
Flame Charge | Pursuit
Pro tip: If you haven't got a Ground Pokémon, be prepared to be in for a world of pain; Electric Pokémon are monstrous especially the fast ones. Volt Switch is a Base 70 move that allows Emolga to switch out after use, so it's not always unwise to try and predict a move past that happening, such as using a Ground move in the hope Elesa switches Flaaffy or Zebstrika in.
Gym Leader #5 - Clay


Krokorok

Ground | Dark
Level 34
Intimidate

Sandslash

Ground
Level 34
Sand Veil

Onix

Rock | Ground
Level 34
Sturdy

Excadrill

Ground | Steel
Level 36
Sand Force

Bulldoze | Torment
Sandstorm | Crunch


Bulldoze | Rock Slide
Crush Claw| Hone Claws


Bulldoze | Rock Slide
Rock Polish| Explosion

Slash | Metal Claw
Bulldoze | Rock Slide
Pro tip: Water Pokémon and Grass Pokémon are your bestest of best friends here, the higher leveled the better. All of Clay's Pokémon are suspect on the Special side, whilst the most powerful Grass and Water moves are usually Special. If you picked either Snivy or Oshawott, you're laughing here.
Gym Leader #6 - Skyla


Swoobat

Psychic | Flying
Level 40
Unaware

Skarmory

Steel | Flying
Level 40
Sturdy

Sigilyph

Psychic | Flying
Level 40
Magic Guard

Swanna

Water | Flying
Level 42
Big Pecks


Attract | Acrobatics
Psychic | Energy Ball

Aerial Ace | Steel Wing
Agility | X-Scissor


Air Cutter | Hypnosis
Psychic| Flash Cannon

Air Slash | Surf
Featherdance | Roost
Pro tip: Always look at the secondary typing as you're not always going to be in a position to use the most effective; Electric being the case here. Dark moves make quick work of Swoobat and Sigilyph, Fire roasts Skarmory and Swanna is somewhat fragile and can be handled with anything that resists Air Slash or Surf.
Gym Leader #7 - Drayden


Druddigon

Dragon
Level 50
Sheer Force

Flygon

Ground | Dragon
Level 50
Levitate

Altaria

Dragon | Flying
Level 50
Natural Cure

Haxorus

Dragon
Level 52
Mold Breaker

Revenge | Rock Slide
Crunch | Dragon Tail


Dragon Tail | Earth Power
Crunch| Rock Slide


Dragon Pulse | Sing
Cotton Guard | Fire Blast

Dragon Tail | Shadow Claw
Dragon Dance | X-Scissor
Pro tip: You never see a Dragon out in the Winter. And for good reason too, they just cannot handle the cold. Altaria and Flygon will fall quickly to pretty much any Ice move, although Druddigon and Haxorus can be peskier to take down; Haxorus especially. Status moves are your friend against Haxorus.
Gym Leader #8 - Marlon


Wailord

Water
Level 53
Water Veil

Carracosta

Water | Rock
Level 53
Sturdy

Mantine

Water | Flying
Level 53
Swift Swim

Jellicent

Water | Ghost
Level 55
Cursed Body


Scald | Earthquake
Ice Beam | Rain Dance

Scald | Rock Slide
Shell Smash | Crunch


Scald | Air Slash
Confuse Ray| Ice Beam

Scald | Energy Ball
Shadow Ball | Recover
Pro tip: Kids, there's a reason you don't have electrics in the bath, and this is no exception to the case; fry the Water Pokémon with your Electric Pokémon. If you don't have such a Pokémon, Grass types can hold their own, although watch out for the occassional Ice Beams which are super effective.
