Find Reshiram’s Black 2/White 2 locations, Generation V Dragon/Fire 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

Reshiram is Unova #295 and National #643. Its Black 2/White 2 typing is Dragon / Fire. 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

White 2’s postgame dragon is level 70. Defeat N at his castle, obtain the Light Stone and take it to Dragonspiral Tower. The original Black version pairing and level-50 story encounter do not apply.

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.

Evolution family and Generation V requirements

Reshiram has no evolution within the Black 2/White 2 regional roster. Form changes are separate from evolution; evolutions added in later generations do not occur on these cartridges.

Abilities, breeding and training reference

Reshiram Generation V ability slots
AbilitySlot / availability
TurboblazeRegular ability slot 1

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.
