QuestionCan I catch both Reshiram and Zekrom in Pokemon Black version 2?
Community AnswerYou can only catch the Pokémon that is in your game. However, you can always trade with a friend who has the legendary opposite of yours. -
QuestionHow I can get Zekrom in Pokemon Black 2 without using a Masterball?

Community AnswerYes, as long as you return to the tower after you have defeated the Elite 4 again. -
