Nate (Japanese: キョウヘイ Kyouhei) is the male player character in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. His female counterpart is Rosa.

Terminology

The name Nate (Japanese: キョウヘイ Kyouhei) is used in-game when he appears as a non-player character.

Prior to the release of Black 2 and White 2, pre-release media referred to Nate as Black2.

In the core series

As the protagonist

Nate is a young boy living in Aspertia City with his childhood friend Hugh. At the start of the game, he sets off with Hugh to collect his first Pokémon. They then go their separate ways, and he starts his journey across the Unova region.

Rental Pokémon in Pokéstar Studios

For all rental teams used by the player at Pokéstar Studios, see here.

As a non-playable character

If the player chooses Rosa, Nate will appear in-game as an NPC, first met in Nimbasa City. He will join the player in a Multi Battle against Emmet and Ingo. Afterwards, he will give the player the Vs. Recorder.

Nate will then appear as the player's partner in the Battle Subway when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants him to base his team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Nate's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

Multi Battle partner

Snivy If the player chose Snivy:



Tepig If the player chose Tepig:



Oshawott If the player chose Oshawott:



Battle Subway Pokémon

This is a list of all the Pokémon used in the Multi Train and Super Multi Train battles. Each Pokémon has a non-Hidden Ability that, along with gender, is randomly selected. These Pokémon will always have the maximum 31 individual values across every stat and the full 510 effort values evenly distributed (rounding down) among two or three stats.

Offensive-based Pokémon



Defensive-based Pokémon
