I tried a White 2 Challenge mode earlier this year and decided to test it out with the some extremely powerful pokes (Hydreigon, Magmortar, Jellicent, Metagross, Mamoswine, and Virizion) and upon reflection, I managed to invest time into some grinding to keep team levels consistent, but overall even with those grinds I've found myself either under or just on par with the Gym leaders in terms of levels, and I've found that for the most part the gym leaders almost take out one of my team members, to the point for which if I didn't grind a level higher, that mon would be fainted, and that's big since I ended up deciding to train some powerful mons for combat, with vitamins to assist to boot. With a team that isn't so high in power level, I have no doubts that the games are going to be harder than my experience, as I was only testing the waters.
