Elgyem in Pokémon Black and White: locations, stats and moves

Generation V identity and base stats

Elgyem is Unova #111 and National #605. Its original Black and White typing is Psychic. 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.

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 Elgyem 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.

Evolution family and original requirements

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

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.

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.

Original breeding, EV, IV and nature rules

Original Black and White level-up moves

Level 1 entries are starting or reminder moves, not a guarantee that a later caught specimen already knows all of them. Evolution timing can change which moves are learned before the evolved form takes over. The Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale.

Compatible TMs and HMs

Compatibility is filtered to the original Black/White version group. TM95 appears only as compatibility data: its Lock Capsule was never officially distributed. HMs must be removed by the Move Deleter.
