Legendary Pokémon in Black 2 & White 2

Dragonspiral Tower holds Reshiram in White 2 and Zekrom in Black 2, the reverse of Black & White. Black 2 & White 2 has 17 legendaries, and all but Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion wait until after the credits. Regigigas joins you at Twist Mountain once Regirock, Regice and Registeel are in your party.

The list

The post-game adds the Regis, the Latis, the lake guardians, Heatran and Cresselia. Lugia, Ho-Oh, Dialga, Palkia and Giratina arrive only by Poké Transfer or Dream Radar, which alone sends Therian Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus.

Gen 4 legendaries (Sinnoh)

The Swords of Justice stand in the open at Lv. 45, and a knocked-out one returns at Lv. 65 after you beat the Elite Four.

Where to catch them

How to get every legendary in Black 2 & White 2

Regice and Registeel split by version, each behind its own key at the Underground Ruins, so the Twist Mountain Regigigas needs the other version’s Regi. Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion are the catches before the credits.

Where to find

Finding every legendary in Black 2 & White 2

Save before each fight, and in the Dreamyard do it one step before the final tile. Heatran’s Magma Stone sits on a high cliff on Route 18.

Before you battle

  • Knock one out by mistake and it comes back after you beat the Elite Four again
  • Save before each legendary battle, so a failed catch costs you nothing
  • Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion are the only ones you can catch before the credits; the rest wait for the post-game
Mythicals

Black 2 & White 2 mythicals and what event ones unlock

Black 2 & White 2 offers no mythical to catch, but event ones bring extras: Keldeo turns Resolute at Pledge Grove off Floccesy Town, and Meloetta learns Relic Song at a Castelia City cafe.

From past events only

Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect arrived only through events. Show an event Genesect to a scientist for Drives: Burn and Shock in Black 2, Chill and Douse in White 2.

Sets

Legendary sets in Black 2 & White 2

Regirock comes first in the Regi family, since catching it unlocks your version’s key for the next Regi. In the Tao trio, Kyurem returns to Giant Chasm only after your Dragonspiral Tower catch.
