Cheren, the rival from Black and White, replaces Lenora; Roxie and Marlon are two new Gym Leaders. The teams are detailed in The Gym Leaders and, for Challenge Mode, in The Gym Leaders (Challenge).
The Pokémon League
The Elite Four has the same members as in Black and White, to be fought in the order of your choice: Shauntal (Ghost), Marshal (Fighting), Grimsley (Dark) and Caitlin (Psychic). The Champion, however, has changed: it is Iris, a specialist in Dragon-type Pokémon. Our article The Pokémon League recommends a team around level 50 and details each battle; the Challenge Mode version is in Pokémon League (Challenge).
The rival
Your rival, Hugh, the hero’s childhood friend, wants to get back the Purrloin that Team Plasma stole from his sister five years earlier. His teams and every encounter are detailed in Hugh: the rival.
After the credits, the adventure continues: see After the League.
