Pokémon Black and White/Driftveil City

Driftveil City is a busy port town, with many important locations for your quest. As you enter the city, you see Cheren, and Clay, the city's Gym Leader. He asks you to find two Team Plasma Grunts that escaped.

New Battle Style

This section is optional.
Charles can be found riding his motorbike in the west of the city. He learned a new battle style to get the attention of a girl he liked. In Black version he will challenge you to a Rotation Battle, whereas in White version he will challenge you to a Triple Battle. This is the first time you can try the new battle style, but definitely not the last.

• Motorcyclist Charles
  • Zebstrika (Lv. 27, Electric) Shock Wave, Spark, Pursuit, Flame Charge
  • Krokorok (Lv. 27, Ground/Dark) Mud-Slap, Embargo, Swagger, Assurance
  • Basculin (Lv. 27, Water) Chip Away, Take Down, Crunch, Aqua Jet
  • 864

Driftveil Market

You can buy some items here; Moomoo Milk for 500 each or in bulk, and some herbs which will heal your Pokemon, but make them less happy because of their bitter taste.

Cold Storage

Cold Storage is the backbone of Driftveil City's industrialised economy, where goods are stored. Wild Pokemon can be found outside of the refrigerative chamber, as well as a vending machine.

• Herdier (Lv. 21-23/25-27 in dark grass)
• Vanillite (Lv. 20-23/24-27 in dark grass)
• Timburr (Lv. 21-22/25-26 in dark grass)

It seems a few Team Plasma Grunts went into the refrigerative chamber. Follow Cheren in. The main Cold Storage area is full of 'sliding ice' puzzles, with many workers to battle.

  • Timburr (Lv. 24)
  • 960

--- Inside an open container in the north west is Zinzolin, one of the Seven Sages, who is trying to keep warm, with eight Grunts around him. He commands you and Cheren to battle four Grunts each:

• Team Plasma Grunt
  • Watchog (Lv. 23)
  • Scraggy (Lv. 23)
  • 920

• Team Plasma Grunt
  • Liepard (Lv. 24)
  • 960

• Team Plasma Grunt
  • Trubbish (Lv. 24)
  • 960

• Team Plasma Grunt
  • Sandile (Lv. 23)
  • Watchog (Lv. 23)
  • 920

Afterwards, Clay and some workers will arrive to remove the Team Plasma people. After this scene, pick up the NeverMeltIce in the corner, and go back to Driftveil.

Driftveil Gym

Driftveil City's Gym specialises in Ground-type Pokemon. The puzzle is based around elevators which you can take up or down to battle trainers.
