There are nine Tribes in Yo-Kai Watch 2, all of which you will see below. 

Charming: These Yo-Kai have a high Speed stat. This gives a higher initiative to act in combat before other Yo-Kai. 

Brave: Yo-Kai in the Brave Tribe have a high Attack stat. They are perfect for dealing great physical damage to enemy Yo-Kai.

Tough: Tough Yo-Kai generally have high Health and Defense stats. Think of these Yo-Kai as tanks. Many of them have Inspirit abilities that goad enemy Yo-Kai into attacking them. 

Mysterious: These Yokai usually have powerful Inspirit abilities that can affect both allied and enemy Yo-Kai. They fulfill the role of a wizard in a standard RPG formula, somewhat like a Red Mage in the Final Fantasy games. 

Eerie: Yo-Kai in the Eerie Tribe specialize in inflicting powerful Inspirit abilities onto foes. They act as debuffers that can cripple enemy Yo-Kai. 

Shady: Shady Yo-kai are also debuffers, very similar to Eerie Yo-kai. However, while Eerie Yo-Kai’s Inspirit abilities may stun enemy Yo-Kai or cause them to attack their allies, Shady Yo-Kai will directly affect the stats of enemy Yo-Kai. 

Heartful: Heartful Yo-Kai are the support class in Yo-Kai Watch 2. They specialize in Inspirit abilities that help friendly Yo-Kai, particularly with healing abilities. 

Slippery: These Yo-Kai are very unique, since their main attribute is evasion. It is very difficult for them to be affected by enemy Inspirit abilities.

Wicked: Finally, this Yo-Kai Tribe is very different from the other Tribes in Yo-Kai Watch. Introduced in Yo-Kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls, the Wicked Tribe basically means evil Yo-Kai. They do not have a notable specialization like the other Tribes, but many Yo-Kai from other Tribes can become Wicked when they are infused with the Wicked Parts item.

Now we’ll tell you how to get the unlimited train pass in Yo-Kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls.
