Pokemon that used to evolve by trade have new evolution methods so you won't have to trade anymore. A list of Pokemon locations will be provided. This includes legendary Pokemon as well, although they will be especially tough to find. Of course, you should expect your opponents to use non-Unova Pokemon as well.Īll 649 Pokemon will be available in this game without trading, transferring, or accessing the Dream World. This gives you more team options to face the upcoming challenges. Non-Unova Pokemon will be available to you as soon as you begin your adventure. A guide will be given to tell you how to beat the Gym Leaders/Elite 4, but their actual teams won't be revealed because that's for you to find out!

You'll have to rely on more advanced strategies like status effects, stat-lowering moves, and switching constantly to keep your team alive. You can beat the real games simply by using your most powerful attacks, but that won't work in Pure White/Pitch Black. These hacks will prove difficult even for adult Pokemon fans. Because let's face it, Pokemon was made with children in mind so it's made possible for a 6-year old to beat it.
