Landorus in Pokémon Black and White: locations, stats and moves
Find Landorus’s original Black and White encounter records, Generation V Ground/Flying typing, base stats, abilities, evolution family and level-up moves.

Generation V identity and base stats
Landorus is Unova #151 and National #645. Its original Black and White typing is Ground / Flying. 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
Abundant Shrine requires both Tornadus and Thundurus in the party; your own version’s roamer must have your Trainer ID.
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.
Encounter methods · Legendary and event requirements · Gifts, fossils and trades
| Location / area | Version | Method | Level | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abundant Shrine | Black | Stationary encounter | 70 | Both Tornadus And Thundurus In Party; Own Version Roamer Must Have Your Trainer Id |
| Abundant Shrine | White | Stationary encounter | 70 | Both Tornadus And Thundurus In Party; Own Version Roamer Must Have Your Trainer Id |
Evolution family and original requirements
Landorus has no evolution within the original Unova Pokédex. Form changes are separate from evolution.
Abilities and breeding reference
| Ability | Slot / availability |
|---|---|
| Sand Force | Regular ability |
| Sheer Force | 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.
| 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 | Special Attack +3 |
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.

No original Black/White Egg moves are recorded for this standard species.
Return to Landorus in the illustrated regional Pokédex.
Use the exact Black or White method and condition before hunting Landorus. Event prerequisites and evolution-only species need a different collection plan from ordinary wild encounters.
