Darmanitan in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2: locations, stats and moves
Find Darmanitan’s Black 2/White 2 locations, Generation V Fire typing, base stats, historical abilities, evolution requirements and sequel learnsets.
Nintendo DS sequels; not the original Black and White story.
Generation V identity and base stats
Darmanitan is Unova #103 and National #555. Its Black 2/White 2 typing is Fire. These figures describe its Standard Mode on the original Nintendo DS cartridges. Later Fairy typing and later stat increases are excluded.
The picture shows the Standard Mode; gender, seasonal or alternate battle forms may look different.

| Stat | Base value |
|---|---|
| HP | 105 |
| Attack | 140 |
| Defense | 55 |
| Sp. Atk | 30 |
| Sp. Def | 55 |
| Speed | 95 |
| Total | 480 |
Where to obtain it in Black 2 and White 2
The figures show Standard Mode. Evolve Darumaka at level 35. Zen Mode requires that ability and changes form in battle at half HP or less; no original RageCandyBar statue encounter is listed as a sequel catch here.
No direct Black 2/White 2 encounter is recorded in this dataset. Use its family below to plan evolution or breeding, or obtain a compatible external specimen where required. An absent row is not proof that every possible acquisition route is unavailable.

Evolution family and Generation V requirements
| From | Into | Black 2 / White 2 method |
|---|---|---|
| Darumaka | Darmanitan | Level 35 |
Friendship evolution uses the Generation V threshold of 220. Trades need a compatible second game and system. Eevee’s rock evolutions, magnetic evolutions, learned-move requirements and held-item night evolutions follow their original DS methods.
Abilities, breeding and training reference
| Ability | Slot / availability |
|---|---|
| Sheer Force | Regular ability slot 1 |
| Zen Mode | Hidden slot; use a documented source for availability |
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.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Gender ratio | 50% female / 50% male |
| Egg group(s) | Field |
| Base hatch cycles | 20 |
| Experience growth | Medium Slow |
| Base capture rate | 60 / 255 (not a percentage chance) |
| EV yield when defeated | Attack +2 |
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.

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.
Egg moves and sequel Move Tutors
No Black 2/White 2 Egg moves are recorded for this form.
Recorded Black 2/White 2 tutor compatibility: Endeavor, Fire Punch, Heat Wave, Sleep Talk, Snore, Superpower, Uproar, Zen Headbutt.
Tutor compatibility does not mean every move is taught by a shard tutor. Starter ultimate moves, pledge moves and species-specific services have their own conditions.
