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.

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.

    FIELD NOTE

    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.
