Pignite in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2: locations, stats and moves
Find Pignite’s Black 2/White 2 locations, Generation V Fire/Fighting 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
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.

| Stat | Base value |
|---|---|
| HP | 90 |
| Attack | 93 |
| Defense | 55 |
| Sp. Atk | 70 |
| Sp. Def | 55 |
| Speed | 55 |
| Total | 418 |
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.

Evolution family and Generation V requirements
| From | Into | Black 2 / White 2 method |
|---|---|---|
| Tepig | Pignite | Level 17 |
| Pignite | Emboar | Level 36 |
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 |
|---|---|
| Blaze | Regular ability slot 1 |
| Thick Fat | 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 | 12.5% female / 87.5% male |
| Egg group(s) | Field |
| Base hatch cycles | 20 |
| Experience growth | Medium Slow |
| Base capture rate | 45 / 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.
