Guide

Before heading straight to all the new fangled postgame locations, spare a thought for some of the old places that you haven’t visited in absolute ages. While you won’t find much new there, perhaps you’ll find some items or easter eggs you missed earlier.

As for what’s definitely new, head back to Professor Juniper’s lab in Nuvema Town . You can find Bianca here, offering you advice to ensure your postgame adventure is eventful. On Saturday Nights, you can even challenge her to a Pokemon battle!

Trainer Battle: Bianca

Bianca can be fought every Saturday night and will also offer post-game tips.

Pokemon Level Type Note
"Stoutland" IconStoutland 63 Normal -
"Simipour" IconSimipour 63 Water Only if you picked "Tepig" IconTepig
"Simisage" IconSimisage 63 Grass Only if you picked "Oshawott" IconOshawott
"Simisear" IconSimisear 63 Fire Only if you picked "Snivy" IconSnivy
"Musharna" IconMusharna 63 Psychic -
"Mienshao" IconMienshao 63 Fighting -
"Chandelure" IconChandelure 63 Ghost/Fire -
"Serperior" IconSerperior 65 Grass Only if you picked "Tepig" IconTepig
"Emboar" IconEmboar 65 Fire Only if you picked "Oshawott" IconOshawott
"Samurott" IconSamurott 65 Water Only if you picked "Snivy" IconSnivy

Basically her original team with added "Mienshao" IconMienshao and "Chandelure" IconChandelure. You already fought both of these Pokemon during your Elite Four campaign, so they shouldn’t surprise you.

After showing Bianca who’s boss, set a course for Nimbasa City and head into Route 5. South of the trailer, you can find Cheren mulling over his Pokemon career. In the end, he leaves, but not before inviting you for a rematch. Now you can battle Cheren at the end of Victory Road daily.

Trainer Battle: Cheren

Cheren will once again be proven second best. You have to feel a little sorry for this guy.

Pokemon Level Type Note
"Liepard" IconLiepard 65 Dark -
"Simisear" IconSimisear 65 Water Only if you picked "Tepig" IconTepig
"Simipour" IconSimipour 65 Grass Only if you picked "Oshawott" IconOshawott
"Simisage" IconSimisage 65 Fire Only if you picked "Snivy" IconSnivy
"Unfezant" IconUnfezant 65 Normal/Flying -
"Gigalith" IconGigalith 65 Rock -
"Haxorus" IconHaxorus 65 Dragon -
"Samurott" IconSamurott 67 Water Only if you picked "Tepig" IconTepig
"Serperior" IconSerperior 67 Grass Only if you picked "Oshawott" IconOshawott
"Emboar" IconEmboar 67 Fire/Fighting Only if you picked "Snivy" IconSnivy

Like Bianca, Cheren uses his regular party, plus "Gigalith" IconGigalith and "Haxorus" IconHaxorus. Haxorus, you’ll know is pretty beastly from your final Gym battle. Gigalith is pretty tough too, with a combination of Sturdy (cannot be OHKO) and Stone Edge (high critical) causing potential fatalities.

Upon emerging victorious for the 8th or so time, there’s one more battle to mention, but one that you may want to delay until later. When your Pokemon are suitably strong enough, return to the GAME FREAK HQ in Castelia City and speak to the man in the group of three on the right…

Trainer Battle: GAME FREAK Morimoto

Morimoto is not to be trifled with. This guy packs a serious punch.

Pokemon Level Type
"Liepard" IconLiepard 75 Dark
"Simisear" IconSimisear 75 Water
"Simipour" IconSimipour 75 Grass
"Simisage" IconSimisage 75 Fire
"Swoobat" IconSwoobat 75 Psychic/Flying
"Zebstrika" IconZebstrika 77 Electric

Morimoto is a programmer at GAME FREAK, so you’re kind of fighting a god here. Luckily, his Pokemon aren’t immensely powerful, disregarding their high Levels. At least you’re not fighting "Arceus" IconArceus and five other Legendary Pokemon!
