Pokémon Black 2 & White 2
Direct sequels set two years later: a wider Unova Pokédex from the start, new gyms, hidden grottoes and the Pokémon World Tournament.
More about the game
Two years after Black and White, a new player crosses an expanded Unova with older Pokémon in the wild from the first route. The games add Aspertia and Virbank gyms, hidden grottoes, the Pokémon World Tournament with gym leaders and champions from every region, and the Pokéstar Studios. Black 2 and White 2 differ in wild species and in the Black Tower and White Treehollow.
Game Freak
This is an official game, not a ROM hack, and this page is here so that the guides for the ROM hacks built on it have the original numbers to point at. Encounters, stats, learnsets and TMs come from PokéAPI's data for this version; trainer teams, where present, from the pret decompilation. The game itself is Game Freak's and Nintendo's.
What this guide covers
This is an official game, so there is no creator documentation to read: the numbers come from PokéAPI's data for this version and, for trainer teams, from the pret decompilation of the game. A section the site has not compiled yet says so below rather than being filled in from memory.
| Section | Source | |
|---|---|---|
| Wild Pokémon by area | From the game itself | |
| Encounter rates | From the game itself | |
| Wild levels | From the game itself | |
| Stats, abilities and movesets | From the game itself | |
| TM and HM compatibility | From the game itself | |
| Where TMs are found | Not published by the creator | TM locations are not yet compiled for this game; the TM list and compatibility above are PokéAPI's. |
| Trainer and boss teams | Not published by the creator | Trainer teams are not yet compiled for this game: PokéAPI carries no trainer data, and the site only takes rosters from a game's own decompilation. |

Reading the tables
SourceThis is an official game, not a ROM hack. Wild tables, species data and TM lists are PokéAPI's records for Black 2 & White 2. Nothing is typed in from memory.
RatesPercentages are the game's encounter-slot chances summed per species; * marks anything at 5% or less. Levels are the range across those slots.
VersionsTables and fights that exist in one version only are labelled with that version; everything else is the same in both.
SeasonsWhere a table changes with the season it is labelled with the season; unlabelled tables apply year-round.
StagesCheckpoints follow the game's own badge order. Where an HM or a rod opens a method, the checkpoint is the site's reading of when the story hands it out; the item's map comes from the game data where it is compiled.
