About Pokemon Volt White 2 Redux
Three game modes, revised evolution methods and catchable Legendary and Mythical Pokémon make Pokémon Volt White 2 Redux a substantial White 2 overhaul. AphexCubed and Drayano created this completed v1.4.1 NDS hack. It adds more gift Pokémon, updated moves and item locations, and changes to type combinations, Trainers, trades and wild areas. The project uses Drayano's engine and adds important NPCs, with documentation included in the game files.
What's in it
- Changed evolution methods.
- A wider variety of gift Pokémon.
- Drayano's engine and new important NPCs.
- Easy, Challenge and Black City game modes.
- Every Legendary and Mythical Pokémon can be caught.
- Redux documentation included with the game files.
- Changed item locations and updated Pokémon moves.
- Changes to type combinations, Trainers, trades and wild areas.
A White 2 overhaul built with Drayano, with reworked progression and a roughly two-to-three-hour Unity Tower postgame. Its Fairy-type implementation can fail on original DS hardware, so the official documentation recommends using an emulator.
Base ROM: Clean Pokémon White 2 ROM.
Before you patch
- Start with a clean Pokémon White 2 ROM. Do not patch an existing Volt White 2 build; the project documentation says that will fail.
- Use the official v1.4.1 archive. Its Drive preview shows a
Pokemon Volt White 2 Redux Complete v1.4.1.xdeltapatch. The included secondary patches are labelled for use after the Complete patch. - Prefer an emulator. The documentation warns that the Fairy-type implementation can fail on original hardware.
Who it’s for
Redux is for players who want White 2’s campaign with a more demanding trainer curve but room to tune it: Easy lowers levels and AI, Normal is above vanilla difficulty, and Challenge adds more six-Pokémon boss teams, doubles and triples. It is a poor fit for original-hardware play, given the stated Fairy-type compatibility issue.

Pokemon Volt White 2 Redux: common questions
- Which ROM should I patch?
- Use a clean Pokémon White 2 ROM. The documentation specifically says not to apply Redux to the older Volt White 2 patch; that process will fail.
- Can I play it on an original DS?
- The project documentation says the Fairy-type implementation is known to have issues on original hardware and recommends an emulator.
- What difficulty should I pick?
- Easy uses Normal Mode's teams with lower levels and AI difficulty. Normal is intended to be tougher than vanilla White 2, while Challenge adds six-Pokémon Gym teams, varied battle formats and scaled regular trainers.
- What is inside the official v1.4.1 download?
- The creator-linked Drive archive contains a Patches folder with the Complete v1.4.1 xdelta patch, plus secondary patches that its preview says to apply after the Complete patch.
- Does it have postgame content?
- Yes. The documentation describes an expanded Unity Tower questline of roughly two to three hours, which also leads to Dialga, Palkia, Giratina and Arceus encounters.
