Where to obtain it in Black and White

Black’s level 50 story dragon. The Dragonspiral Tower alternative applies only if capture was deferred with a full party and full storage at N’s Castle.

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.

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.

    FIELD NOTE

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