Absol in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2: locations, stats and moves

Generation V identity and base stats

Absol is Unova #216 and National #359. Its Black 2/White 2 typing is Dark. These figures describe its standard Generation V form on the original Nintendo DS cartridges. Later Fairy typing and later stat increases are excluded.

The picture shows the standard Generation V form; gender, seasonal or alternate battle forms may look different.

Where to obtain it in Black 2 and White 2

Check the version, area and encounter method before travelling. A gift, trade, Hidden Grotto or stationary interaction is different from ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching recorded slots under the same condition.

The following records use only Black 2 and White 2. Seasons and special requirements remain separate. Postgame areas require the appropriate story access; these records do not imply every location is open on a fresh save.

Evolution family and Generation V requirements

Absol has no evolution within the Black 2/White 2 regional roster. Form changes are separate from evolution; evolutions added in later generations do not occur on these cartridges.

Forms and collection requirements

Abilities, breeding and training reference

A Hidden Ability slot does not guarantee an ordinary wild specimen. Hidden Grottos, specific sequel gifts, historical Dream World / Dream Radar access and external specimens have different requirements. Some Generation V slots, including the Unova starter Hidden Abilities and Litwick-line Shadow Tag, were never officially released in that generation.

The Route 3 Day Care is reached after the Hall of Fame in the sequels. Undiscovered species cannot produce Eggs. Baby forms that require an incense need the correct held item on a parent; breeding an evolved parent does not always yield its earliest Pokédex stage.

Black 2 and White 2 level-up moves

Every row is filtered to the Black 2/White 2 version group. Level 1 entries include starting or reminder moves; a later caught specimen need not know every listed move. Evolution timing changes which form learns a move. The Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale.

Compatible TMs and HMs

Compatibility uses Black 2/White 2 learnset records. Machine numbers and move data match Generation V, while acquisition locations must come from the sequel guide. Sequel TM95 is obtainable; the original BW Lock Capsule restriction does not apply. HMs need the Move Deleter to be removed.
