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.

Abilities, breeding and training reference
| Ability | Slot / availability |
|---|---|
| Limber | Regular ability slot 1 |
| Imposter | 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 | Genderless |
| Egg group(s) | Ditto |
| Base hatch cycles | 20 |
| Experience growth | Medium Fast |
| Base capture rate | 35 / 255 (not a percentage chance) |
| EV yield when defeated | Hp +1 |
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
| Level | Move |
|---|---|
| 1 / starting move | Transform |
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
Ditto has no compatible TM or HM in Black 2/White 2. Check its level-up and tutor moves for its available techniques.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.
No Black 2/White 2 tutor moves are recorded for this form.
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.
