Zekrom in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2: locations, stats and moves
Find Zekrom’s Black 2/White 2 locations, Generation V Dragon/Electric 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
Zekrom is Unova #296 and National #644. Its Black 2/White 2 typing is Dragon / Electric. 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 | 100 |
| Attack | 150 |
| Defense | 120 |
| Sp. Atk | 120 |
| Sp. Def | 100 |
| Speed | 90 |
| Total | 680 |
Where to obtain it in Black 2 and White 2
Black 2’s postgame dragon is level 70. Defeat N at his castle, obtain the Dark Stone and take it to Dragonspiral Tower. The original White 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.
Encounter methods · Legendary and event requirements · Gifts, fossils and trades
| Location / area | Version | Method | Level | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dragonspiral Tower 7F | Black 2 | Stationary interaction | 70 | Bring N’s Dark Stone; Postgame: defeat N at his castle, then take his stone to Dragonspiral Tower |
Evolution family and Generation V requirements
Zekrom 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 |
|---|---|
| Teravolt | Regular 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.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Gender ratio | Genderless |
| 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.
