The Plasma Frigate (Japanese: プラズマフリゲートPlasma Frigate) is a flying ship that serves as Team Plasma's main means of transportation, which appears in various locations throughout Unova, first appearing at Prime Pier in Castelia City. It later appears at the Pokémon World Tournament's harbor, at Opelucid City, outside Seaside Cave in a secluded area of Route 21, and at the Giant Chasm. After the player has defeated Ghetsis, it is permanently docked at the P2 Laboratory.
The sub-levels of the ship are different depending on the version played: Pokémon Black 2 has a warp tile puzzle on B1F and a password puzzle on B2F, while it is the opposite in Pokémon White 2, with a password puzzle on B1F and a warp panel puzzle on B2F.
The ship is powered by both Kyurem and solar panels, as conventional power sources won't be usable when Unova is covered in ice.
The Plasma Frigate made an appearance in The Frozen World, in which is floated above Opelucid City during Team Plasma's attack on the city. The ship contained an imprisoned Kyurem, whose power Colress used to freeze Opelucid City.

The Plasma Frigate debuts in the Black 2 & White 2 arc. It was created by Team Plasma to wage war on the Unova region after their defeat two years prior.
The Frigate officially debuts in PS538. It was taken to Driftveil City, where Colress was battling against Blake. Using his Colress Machine, Colress took control of the KyuremZinzolin captured and had it enter a special room. Afterward, Colress activate the Plasma Frigate's engines, allowing the ship to fly through the air. Although Blake successfully gets on the ship's deck before it flies away, Colress decides to let him roam free.
The Plasma Frigate is flown to Castelia City, where Colress attacks with the ship's Kyurem Cannon. The beam fired from the cannon freezes several buildings and people in an instant. Shortly afterward, Ghetsis spots Rood, a traitor to Team Plasma, and orders Colress to capture him. Colress reluctantly agrees, but ends up accidentally grabbing Whitley instead. After Rood escapes, Whitley is thrown into an empty cabin and held prisoner.
