Edition covered

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

Generation V identity and base stats

Trubbish is Unova #074 and National #568. Its original Black and White typing is 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.

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 Trubbish 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.

Abilities and breeding reference

Trubbish ability slots
Ability	Slot / availability
Stench	Regular ability
Sticky Hold	Regular ability
Aftermath	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.

Trubbish breeding and training facts
Property	Value
Gender ratio	50% female / 50% male
Egg group(s)	Mineral
Base hatch cycles	20
Experience growth	Medium Fast
Base capture rate	190 / 255 (not a percentage chance)
EV yield when defeated	Speed +1

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.

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.

FIELD NOTE

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