Unobtainable Pokemon

As with all of the previous games in the series save for the first generation pair, in Black 2 / White 2 there are certain Pokemon from the previous generations of games that are not available to be captured or obtained in trade (or as gifts) in the game. What that means is that players will have to either find another trainer who can trade those Pokemon to them, or they will need some of the previous games (at a minimum Black or White and two of the Generation IV titles).

Although a number of these can be encountered on other trainers in the game, the following Pokemon are unobtainable in Black 2 / White 2 and will need to be traded into the game in order to add them to your National Pokedex:
