Generation V identity and base stats

Trubbish is Unova #105 and National #568. Its Black 2/White 2 typing is Poison. 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

Trubbish regional evolution family
From	Into	Black 2 / White 2 method
Trubbish	Garbodor	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

Trubbish Generation V ability slots
Ability	Slot / availability
Stench	Regular ability slot 1
Sticky Hold	Regular ability slot 2
Aftermath	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.

Trubbish breeding and training facts
Property	Value
Gender ratio	50% female / 50% male
Egg group(s)	Mineral
Base hatch cycles	20
Experience growth	Medium Fast
Base capture rate	190 / 255 (not a percentage chance)
EV yield when defeated	Speed +1

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.
