In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player can obtain three specific Shiny Pokémon (however two are mutually exclusive and cannot both be obtained by the same savefile). If the player registers every non-event Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black 2 and White 2)|Unova Pokédex]], they can receive a [[Permit]] that allows them to travel to the [[Nature Preserve]], where they can encounter a Shiny {{p|Haxorus}}. After defeating [[Benga]] in the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}} or [[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}, Benga will give the player a Shiny {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}} or Shiny {{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}}, the player can only choose one. Additionally, all of [[N]]'s Pokémon that can be found in the wild or obtained as a gift are coded to never appear as Shiny.
