Find Pignite’s Black 2/White 2 locations, Generation V Fire/Fighting typing, base stats, historical abilities, evolution requirements and sequel learnsets.

Edition covered

Nintendo DS sequels; not the original Black and White story.

01

Generation V identity and base stats

Pignite is Unova #005 and National #499. Its Black 2/White 2 typing is Fire / Fighting. 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.

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.

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

Pignite Generation V ability slots
AbilitySlot / availability
BlazeRegular ability slot 1
Thick FatHidden 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.

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.

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.

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.

Recorded Black 2/White 2 tutor compatibility: Covet, Endeavor, Fire Pledge, Fire Punch, Heat Wave, Helping Hand, Iron Tail, Low Kick, Sleep Talk, Snore, Superpower, ThunderPunch.

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.

Use Pignite’s Black 2 or White 2 method and condition. Version-specific catches, postgame breeding and historical distribution requirements need their own collection plan.
