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 in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. It docks at various locations throughout Unova, first appearing at Prime Pier in Castelia City, and later appearing 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: Black 2 has a warp tile puzzle on B1F and a password puzzle on B2F, while it is the opposite in 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.

One of the female Team Plasma Grunts on B1F will add Zekrom and Reshiram's seen entries to the player's Pokédex.

Black 2 & White 2 arc

The Plasma Frigate debuted in Unforgettable Memories. It was created by Team Plasma to wage war on the Unova region after their defeat two years prior.

The Frigate was fully unveiled in Therian Forme III, where it was taken to the abandoned Cold Storage in Driftveil City, where Colress was battling against Blake. Using his Colress Machine, Colress took control of the Kyurem that Zinzolin had caught and had it enter a special chamber aboard the ship. Afterwards, Colress activated the Plasma Frigate's engines, allowing the ship to fly through the air. Although Blake successfully got on the ship's deck before it flew away, Colress decided to let him roam free.

In Frozen World, the Plasma Frigate was flown to Castelia City, where Colress attacked the city with the ship's Kyurem Cannon. The beam fired from the cannon froze the entire city and most of the people there in an instant. Shortly afterwards, Ghetsis spotted Rood, a traitor to Team Plasma, and ordered Colress to capture him. Colress reluctantly agreed, but ended up accidentally grabbing Whitley instead. After Rood escaped, Whitley was thrown into an empty cabin and held prisoner.

After Blake freed Whitley from the cabin, they teamed up to try and free Kyurem from the machine powering the Kyurem Cannon. Though they successfully destroyed the machine, they found out that Kyurem wasn't inside it. Colress appeared and revealed that they had already drained enough energy from Kyurem to power the ship and freeze all of Unova, so the machine's destruction was inconsequential to them. He then summoned Kyurem and had it freeze Blake and Whitley, before telling some Grunts to throw the two into the ocean. Afterwards, Colress set off to freeze more of Unova's cities.

As of Pink Slip, the Plasma Frigate had successfully frozen over seven different populated areas across the Unova region.

In Giant Chasm, the Plasma Frigate arrived at the Giant Chasm after following Kyurem there, taking off again when Colress lost control of Kyurem and it started to threaten the flying ship. In The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition, N, Looker, Alder, and Whitley confronted Ghetsis in a storage room full of Poké Balls containing the Pokémon "liberated" by Team Plasma. Willing to die rather than be arrested, Ghetsis triggered an explosion that tore the ship open, causing all the Poké Balls to fall out and the ship to fly out of control, which eventually led to it colliding into N's Castle and requiring all the Unova first partner Pokémon to combine their pledge moves to put our the resulting fire. Ghetsis was subsequently arrested by the International Police, which, combined with Blake arresting Colress, meant an end for Team Plasma.

Trivia

  • In Pokémon Black 2, while the Frigate is at the Giant Chasm, one of the Team Plasma Grunts on B2F claims to be a former member of Team Galactic.
  • The player can use Dig and Teleport to exit the Plasma Frigate, but not Fly.
  • The player cannot use the Xtransceiver here, as anyone on the calling list will be temporarily removed while onboard.
  • The Plasma Frigate specifically being a frigate may be a reference to the words "frigid" and "refrigerate", referring to the ship's ability to freeze large areas.
