Edition covered

Original Black and White; their sequels have different routes and encounter availability.

Generation V identity and base stats

Amoonguss is Unova #097 and National #591. Its original Black and White typing is Grass / Poison. These figures describe the standard form in the original Nintendo DS games.

The illustration uses a standard Generation V sprite; colour, gender or seasonal forms can differ in the cartridge.

Amoonguss Generation V base stats

Sp. Def	80
Speed	30
Total	464

Where to obtain it in Black and White

Check the version and method columns before travelling. An encounter listed as a gift or stationary interaction does not mean Amoonguss appears in ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching slots within the same recorded condition.

The following records are filtered to Black and White. The table preserves separate seasons and special conditions. These are documented locations, not a promise that every encounter is available at the start of the story.

Friendship evolution uses the original Generation V threshold. Trades require a compatible second game and system; trading an Everstone holder prevents the evolution.

Abilities and breeding reference

Amoonguss ability slots
Ability	Slot / availability
Effect Spore	Regular ability
Regenerator	Hidden slot; historical availability must be checked

A Hidden Ability in the data is not proof of an obtainable original-game specimen. Some Hidden Abilities were never released in Generation V; the starter Contrary/Reckless/Shell Armor slots and Litwick-line Shadow Tag cannot be treated as ordinary Black/White catches.

Amoonguss breeding and training facts
Property	Value
Gender ratio	50% female / 50% male
Egg group(s)	Grass
Base hatch cycles	20
Experience growth	Medium Fast
Base capture rate	75 / 255 (not a percentage chance)
EV yield when defeated	Hp +2

The No Eggs / Undiscovered group cannot produce Eggs. An Egg move must be inherited through an eligible parent in these original games; it is not automatically learned by every caught specimen.

FIELD NOTE

Use the exact Black or White method and condition before hunting Amoonguss. Event prerequisites and evolution-only species need a different collection plan from ordinary wild encounters.
