'''Driftveil City''' (Japanese: '''ホドモエシティ''' ''Hodomoe City'') is a major ocean port city in western [[Unova]]. It has strong wind currents popular with sailboaters. More importantly, its ports are used by freighters and fishing boats that import and export goods such as vegetables in and out of Unova. A large market offering a variety of useful items occupies part of the city. Driftveil is typically subject to precipitation year-round. | '''Driftveil City''' (Japanese: '''ホドモエシティ''' ''Hodomoe City'') is a major ocean port city in western [[Unova]].

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, several strange craters have appeared throughout the city and its associated establishments, indicating an increase in mining activity in the city. One of the craters in particular, [[Clay Tunnel]] (named after the city's Gym Leader), connects the city to an underground mining cave that stretches to the nearby [[Mistralton Cave]], [[Twist Mountain]], and [[Underground Ruins]]. [[Relic Passage|Another crater]], located west of the | In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the [[Cold Storage]] is located south of the city, where cargo ships deposit shipping containers to be frozen before its contents are used for commercial use. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the Cold Storage no longer exists, and in its place now stands the [[PWT]]. The Pokémon World Tournament attracts tourists from across the world, and its success can be reflected by the city's rapid development. | ||

In Black and White, the houses in Driftveil City all had orange-colored roofs so they looked bright at sunset. However, in Black and White 2, this style has changed, and the city now sports very large emerald-colored towers, which are hotels to house the visitors of Driftveil City for the Pokémon World Tournament. Inside are tables and other furniture all covered in emeralds, which could be a result of Clay's mining operation success in Black and White two years ago; however, this is not confirmed. | In Black and White, the houses in Driftveil City all had orange-colored roofs so they looked bright at sunset.

The market is located on the western side of the city. [[Herbal medicine]] and {{DL|Drink|Moomoo Milk}} can be bought here. After defeating Team Plasma and obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], a former {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} sells [[incense]] for {{pdollar}}9600 each. In Black 2 and White 2, the National Pokédex requirement is removed, and they can be bought on the first visit. | The market is located on the western side of the city.

In Black and White, Driftveil City had a small barren beach located east of the Pokémon Center. If the player {{m|Surf}}s directly off the beach, they can find the lighthouse, which has a [[Water Stone]] on its shore. The beach and the lighthouse are no longer present in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, for unknown reasons. | In Black and White, Driftveil City had a small barren beach located east of the Pokémon Center.

In the house north{{sup/5|BW}}/south{{sup/5|B2W2}} of the Driftveil Market, there is a girl who requests to see a certain random [[TM]] or [[HM]] move every day. When the player presents a Pokémon that knows the move she asked for, she will reward the player with a {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale}}. The girl will only request moves from TMs or HMs the player currently owns. | In the house north{{sup/5|BW}}/south{{sup/5|B2W2}} of the Driftveil Market, there is a girl who requests to see a certain random [[TM]] or [[HM]] move every day.

===Team Plasma's safehouse=== | |||
At the northern end of the city, a house is located atop a hill. | |||
In Black 2 and White 2, it acts as a sanctuary for former Team Plasma members. [[Rood]], one of the [[Seven Sages]], will battle the player before allowing them to enter the building. He will also give the player the option to adopt [[N's Zorua]]. [[Anthea]] and [[Concordia]] remain here as well, staying in the new lower section of the house constructed within the two year period between the games. | |||
