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

01

Generation V identity and base stats

Seel is Unova #265 and National #86. Its Black 2/White 2 typing is Water. 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.

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

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

AbilitySlot / availability
Thick FatRegular ability slot 1

Ice BodyHidden 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.
