Dewgong in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2: locations, stats and moves
Find Dewgong’s Black 2/White 2 locations, Generation V Water/Ice 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
Dewgong is Unova #266 and National #87. Its Black 2/White 2 typing is Water / Ice. 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.

| Stat | Base value |
|---|---|
| HP | 90 |
| Attack | 70 |
| Defense | 80 |
| Sp. Atk | 70 |
| Sp. Def | 95 |
| Speed | 70 |
| Total | 475 |
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.
Encounter methods · Legendary and event requirements · Gifts, fossils and trades
| Location / area | Version | Method | Level | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Giant Chasm | Black 2 | Rippling water (Surf) | 40–50 | No special condition recorded |
| Giant Chasm | White 2 | Rippling water (Surf) | 40–50 | No special condition recorded |
| Seaside Cave 1F | Black 2 | Rippling water (Surf) | 30–40 | No special condition recorded |
| Seaside Cave 1F | White 2 | Rippling water (Surf) | 30–40 | No special condition recorded |
Evolution family and Generation V requirements
| From | Into | Black 2 / White 2 method |
|---|---|---|
| Seel | Dewgong | Level 34 |
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 |
|---|---|
| Thick Fat | Regular ability slot 1 |
| Hydration | Regular ability slot 2 |
| Ice Body | 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) | Water 1 / Field |
| Base hatch cycles | 20 |
| Experience growth | Medium Fast |
| Base capture rate | 75 / 255 (not a percentage chance) |
| EV yield when defeated | Special Defense +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: Aqua Tail, Drill Run, Icy Wind, Iron Tail, Signal Beam, Sleep Talk, Snore.
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.
