Thundurus in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2: locations, stats and moves
Find Thundurus’s Black 2/White 2 locations, Generation V Electric/Flying 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
Thundurus is Unova #199 and National #642. Its Black 2/White 2 typing is Electric / Flying. These figures describe its Incarnate Forme on the original Nintendo DS cartridges. Later Fairy typing and later stat increases are excluded.
The picture shows the Incarnate Forme; gender, seasonal or alternate battle forms may look different.

| Stat | Base value |
|---|---|
| HP | 79 |
| Attack | 115 |
| Defense | 70 |
| Sp. Atk | 125 |
| Sp. Def | 80 |
| Speed | 111 |

Where to obtain it in Black 2 and White 2
No ordinary wild encounter exists in either sequel. An already obtained compatible specimen can be traded or transferred. Pokémon Dream Radar historically supplied the Therian Forme; this profile shows Incarnate Forme stats.
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
Thundurus 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
| Ability | Slot / availability |
|---|---|
| Prankster | Regular ability slot 1 |
| Defiant | 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 | Male only |
| Egg group(s) | Undiscovered |
| Base hatch cycles | 120 |
| Experience growth | Slow |
| Base capture rate | 3 / 255 (not a percentage chance) |
| EV yield when defeated | Attack +3 |
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.
