'''Nacrene City''' (Japanese: '''シッポウシティ''' ''Shippou City'') is a city in southeastern [[Unova]]. It is the location for the [[Nacrene Gym|second Gym]] that the {{player}} visits in the region, led by [[Lenora]].
Nacrene City is described as having a peculiar cityscape, as it reuses its warehouses built about a century ago. According to the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, the unique cityscape makes it a popular place for avant-garde artists and is usually the place where trends begin. Due to this, Nacrene City is called the "city of art". [[Castelia City]]'s [[Gym Leader]] [[Burgh]] is a renowned artist whose hometown is Nacrene City. Nacrene City houses the Nacrene Museum which happens to include the [[Nacrene Gym]].

===Nacrene Museum===
===Nacrene Museum===
A museum showing various historical treasures, most prominently a skeleton of a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon (resembling {{p|Dragonite}}), is located in Nacrene City. Just to the left of the skeleton is an {{p|Armaldo}} Fossil. There is also a meteorite exhibit located above the Fossil that, when examined, can change {{p|Deoxys}} into any of its four [[Form differences#Deoxys|form]]s, depending on which one it is currently in. The [[Dragon Stone|Dark Stone]]{{sup/5|W}} or [[Dragon Stone|Light Stone]]{{sup/5|Bl}} is located here before [[Lenora]] discovers what it actually is and gives it to the player. On the right side of the museum is an ancient tablet with an unknown script carved into it. Beneath this is a mask that was worn by ancient people at festivals, and three large bones that were once carried as weapons by a certain Pokémon (possibly {{p|Cubone}} or {{p|Marowak}}). By talking to the woman on the right hand desk inside, the player can restore [[Fossil]]s. At the back of the museum there is a library room which also operates as the [[Nacrene Gym]].
A museum showing various historical treasures is located at the heart of Nacrene City. Upon entering the museum, the player may talk to the woman on the right hand desk to restore [[Fossil]]s. The ground floor of the Nacrene Museum is where all of its showcases are located, arranged symmetrically along the left and right sides of the walls. The museum's most prominent display is the skeleton of a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon (resembling {{p|Dragonite}}), which is nestled at the center of the main exhibition room. Over to the left of the skeleton is an {{p|Armaldo}} Fossil. There is a meteorite exhibit located above the Fossil that, when examined, can change {{p|Deoxys}} into any of its four [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Deoxys|forms]], depending on which one it is currently in. The [[Dark Stone]]{{sup/5|W}} or [[Light Stone]]{{sup/5|Bl}} is located here and initially regarded as an "ordinary old stone" before [[Lenora]] discovers what it actually is and gives it to the player. On the right side of the museum is an ancient tablet with an unknown script carved into it. Beneath this is a mask that was worn by ancient people at festivals, and three large bones that were once carried as weapons by a certain Pokémon (possibly {{p|Cubone}} or {{p|Marowak}}). By ascending the flight of stairs at the back of the museum, the player can access a library room, which also operates as the [[Nacrene Gym]]{{sup/5|BW}}.


In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the player can choose to obtain either a [[Cover and Plume Fossils|Plume Fossil or a Cover Fossil]] (neither of which are obtainable at Twist Mountain) from [[Lenora]] upon visiting the Nacrene Museum for the first time. After visiting the [[Cave of Being]], {{p|Uxie}} can also be found when the player is in the center of the paved circle at the front entrance after exiting the museum.

In ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'', {{TRT}} arrived there, intending to go to the Nacrene Museum to steal the [[Meteonite]] under {{an|Giovanni}}'s orders. They successfully hacked into the museum's security to steal the artifact in ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'' and replaced it with a replica.

In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived at Nacrene City and visited the museum while looking for the [[Nacrene Gym]]. There, they found it to be closed due to it being haunted. The Museum's vice-curator [[Hawes]] revealed that the supernatural occurrences began last night. [[Lenora]] showed up in time and was able to calm down the {{p|Yamask}} that was causing havoc in the museum after its mask had been sealed away in a glass case.
Nacrene City is shown to be a very colorful and artistic city in the anime with water fountains, stained glass windows and an unused railway track. The buildings and warehouses are painted in a variety of different colors. It is also shown to have a [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Battle Club]]. Weird things are also shown to be sold here.
 
In ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'', Ash battled Lenora in the Gym, but was defeated. After doing some special training with [[Don George]] at the local [[Battle Club]], Ash returned for a [[rematch]] in ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]''. He defeated Lenora with the help of his Pokémon's improved speed and some newly learned attacks, earning himself the {{badge|Basic}}.
 
In ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'', Team Rocket received orders from [[Pierce]] to visit [[Dr. Zager]]. They went there, and he examined the Meteonite, which was found to contain materials of an extraterrestrial origin.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
Nacrene City first appeared in ''[[PS472|Wheeling and Dealing]]'' when {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} arrived there. After White had advertised her company, the [[BW Agency]], at Café Warehouse, and Black had solved the case of a stolen accordion, the latter went to challenge [[Lenora]] at the [[Nacrene Gym]] in ''[[PS473|Battle at the Museum]]''. While Black battled, White and the director of the BW Agency had a [[Xtransceiver]] call with the mayor of [[Nimbasa City]], who was worried of his city's lowering tourism rates, and wanted White to help in inventing new attractions to solve the issue. White suggested establishing a [[Pokémon Musical]], which the mayor thought to be an excellent idea.


In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the Nacrene Museum looking for the [[Nacrene Gym]] which is closed. The Museum is quite a historical building and features a range of exhibits such as Fossils, skeletons, knight's armor and tombs. [[Hawes]] is the vice-curator of the museum. Near the back is a library where the Gym's entrance is. There was a {{p|Yamask}} causing havoc in the museum.
In ''[[PS474|Defeating Stoutland]]'', Black managed to defeat Lenora and earn himself the {{badge|Basic}}. As Black left, Lenora received a phone call from [[Clay]], who told her about the mysterious item he had [[PS465|recently discovered]] at the [[Desert Resort]], which was revealed to be the [[Dark Stone]]. In ''[[PS475|The Mystery of the Missing Fossil]]'', the Nacrene Museum's [[Dragon Skull|Dragon Fossil]] was stolen by [[Team Plasma]], but Black and [[Burgh]] were able to get it back.


In ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'', Ash battled [[Lenora]] in the Gym, but was defeated; Team Rocket stole a meteorite from the museum, replacing it with a dummy.
In ''[[PS495|The Battle Within]]'', most of Unova's [[Gym Leader]]s set up an ambush on Team Plasma in Nacrene City as they attempted to steal the Dark Stone from the museum. However, in ''[[PS496|Museum Showdown]]'', the Gym Leaders were caught off-guard when the [[Shadow Triad]] unleashed the {{adv|forces of nature}} upon them, completely overwhelming them. In ''[[PS497|Finding Truth]]'', [[Ghetsis]] tricked Black into revealing the Dark Stone's hiding place in the museum's basement, allowing him to steal it. The Gym Leaders who had tried to defend the museum were subsequently taken captive by Team Plasma, except for [[Brycen]], who had managed to replace himself with an ice duplicate before being caught. It was then revealed that the museum had also been hiding the [[Light Stone]], which Team Plasma had not been aware of. As Brycen saw the Light Stone rolling towards Black and thus choosing him as the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|Hero of Truth]], he decided to take him to the [[Tubeline Bridge]] for a {{pkmn|training}} session.


In ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', Ash had a rematch against Lenora and finally won. Its last appearance was in ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'' where Team Rocket got orders by [[Pierce]] to visit [[Dr. Zager]]. They went there and he examined the meteorite which was shown to have materials found nowhere on earth.
===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
In ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]'', Nacrene City was revealed to be one of the settlements frozen over by the [[Plasma Frigate]].

* A boy in Nacrene City mentions that Dire Hit is called Dire Hit in Unova. This is a reference to the change in the Japanese name of Dire Hit from クリティカッター ''Criticutter'' to クリティカット ''Criticut'', in order to make room for the number-level reference of [[Wonder Launcher]] items. Because "Dire Hit" is much shorter than the 12-character limit on English item names, this issue does not come up in the translated games.

* Due to having a variable level, {{tc|Lass}} Dye's Whimsicott{{sup/5|B}}/Lilligant{{sup/5|W}} can potentially be the highest-leveled Trainer-owned Pokémon outside of a battle facility. Depending on the level of the Cottonee{{sup/5|B}}/Petilil{{sup/5|W}} traded to her, the resulting Pokémon may be higher than {{ga|Red}}'s {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and [[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] (both of whom are at level 88) and can potentially reach all the way to level 100. This trait is shared with {{tc|Youngster}} Kyle in the same games and {{tc|Lass}} Diana in {{B2W2}}.
** In addition, if the {{player}} nicknames the Cottonee{{sup/5|B}}/Petilil{{sup/5|W}} that is traded to her, the nickname will carry over into the battle, making her the only Trainer to use a nicknamed Pokémon in battle, excluding the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s Mix Tournament.
* Among the exhibits of the museum, there is an African mask, referring to a place in the real world, in addition to being different from other exhibitions, which are related to the history of the Pokémon.

Nacrene City in spring in Black and White

Nacrene City (Japanese: シッポウシティ Shippou City) is a city in southeastern Unova, connected to Route 3 to the east and bordering Pinwheel Forest to the west. In Pokémon Black and White, it is the location for the second Gym that the player visits in the region, led by Lenora.

Nacrene City is described as having a peculiar cityscape, as it reuses its warehouses built about a century ago. According to the Pokémon Adventures manga, the unique cityscape makes it a popular place for avant-garde artists and is usually the place where trends begin. Due to this, Nacrene City is called the "city of art". Castelia City's Gym Leader Burgh is a renowned artist whose hometown is Nacrene City. Nacrene City houses the Nacrene Museum which happens to include the Nacrene Gym.

Slogan

A Pearl of a Place (Japanese: シッポウは 七つの 宝物 Shippou is the Seven Treasures.)

Places of interest

Nacrene Museum

A museum showing various historical treasures is located at the heart of Nacrene City. Upon entering the museum, the player may talk to the woman on the right hand desk to restore Fossils. The ground floor of the Nacrene Museum is where all of its showcases are located, arranged symmetrically along the left and right sides of the walls. The museum's most prominent display is the skeleton of a Dragon-type Pokémon (resembling Dragonite), which is nestled at the center of the main exhibition room. Over to the left of the skeleton is an Armaldo Fossil. There is a meteorite exhibit located above the Fossil that, when examined, can change Deoxys into any of its four forms, depending on which one it is currently in. The Dark StoneW or Light StoneB is located here and initially regarded as an "ordinary old stone" before Lenora discovers what it actually is and gives it to the player. On the right side of the museum is an ancient tablet with an unknown script carved into it. Beneath this is a mask that was worn by ancient people at festivals, and three large bones that were once carried as weapons by a certain Pokémon (possibly Cubone or Marowak). By ascending the flight of stairs at the back of the museum, the player can access a library room, which also operates as the Nacrene GymBW.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the player can choose to obtain either a Plume Fossil or a Cover Fossil (neither of which are obtainable at Twist Mountain) from Lenora upon visiting the Nacrene Museum for the first time. A replica of the Dark StoneW2/Light StoneB2 is now substituted in place of the real ones, which were originally given to the protagonist by Lenora in Black and White.

Nacrene Gym

Main article: Nacrene Gym

The Nacrene Gym is the official Gym of Nacrene City. It is based on Normal-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Lenora. The Nacrene City Gym is a Gym consisting of a library that require Trainers to find the right answers to opponents' questions through the readable books, before engaging them in battle. For defeating Lenora, Trainers receive the Basic Badge and TM67 (Retaliate).

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Lenora has retired as a Gym Leader to focus on her research and the Gym has been changed into a library.

Café Warehouse

Café Warehouse
Try our delicious specials on Wednesdays and Saturdays!

The Café Warehouse is a diner on the westernmost end of the city, just past the Nacrene Museum. They have specials on Wednesday, where the player can receive a free Soda Pop. In Black 2 and White 2, the player may also receive a free Lemonade on Saturdays. On Sundays, a person in the café will give the player a Grubby Hanky, which can be returned to another customer in the same building on Thursdays.

Loblolly's studio

Loblolly's studio is located in the southeast of Nacrene City. After visiting the Dream World at least once, Loblolly will talk about Décor that "people will dream of". Players may choose one of five pieces of Décor that will be unlocked in the Dream World the next time the Game Sync is used. Each day another piece may be chosen.

Dye's house

Dye's house is located in the southeastern side of Nacrene City. In it, Dye will offer to trade the player Petilil for Cottonee in Black, and Cottonee for Petilil in White. After trading with Dye and stopping Team Plasma at N's Castle, Dye will challenge the player to a battle in which she uses the evolved form of the CottoneeB or PetililW that the player traded to her.

In addition, downstairs in Dye's house, a woman will evaluate the friendship of the first Pokémon in the player's party.

Battle item shop

In the house west of the Pokémon Center, a man will sell battle items out of his house.

Battle items


Move Tutor

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, a Move Tutor in the city will teach the player's Pokémon moves in exchange for six, eight, ten, or twelve Green Shards. In these games, he is the only Shard Move Tutor to not teach a special move, or to teach a move for less than 6 Shards.

Nacrene City in the anime

Nacrene City was shown to be a very colorful and artistic city with water fountains, stained glass windows and an unused railway track. The buildings and warehouses are painted in a variety of different colors. It was also shown to have a Battle Club. The famous Nacrene Museum houses many rare exhibits and also includes the city's library and Gym.

In Minccino-Neat and Tidy!, Team Rocket arrived there, intending to go to the Nacrene Museum to steal the Meteonite under Giovanni's orders. They successfully hacked into the museum's security to steal the artifact in The Battle According to Lenora! and replaced it with a replica.

In A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!, Ash and his friends arrived at Nacrene City and visited the museum while looking for the Nacrene Gym. There, they found it to be closed due to it being haunted. The Museum's vice-curator Hawes revealed that the supernatural occurrences began last night. Lenora showed up in time and was able to calm down the Yamask that was causing havoc in the museum after its mask had been sealed away in a glass case.

In The Battle According to Lenora!, Ash battled Lenora in the Gym, but was defeated. After doing some special training with Don George at the local Battle Club, Ash returned for a rematch in Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!. He defeated Lenora with the help of his Pokémon's improved speed and some newly learned attacks, earning himself the Basic Badge.

In Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!, Team Rocket received orders from Pierce to visit Dr. Zager. They went there, and he examined the Meteonite, which was found to contain materials of an extraterrestrial origin.

Black & White arc

Nacrene City first appeared in Wheeling and Dealing when Black and White arrived there. After White had advertised her company, the BW Agency, at Café Warehouse, and Black had solved the case of a stolen accordion, the latter went to challenge Lenora at the Nacrene Gym in Battle at the Museum. While Black battled, White and the director of the BW Agency had a Xtransceiver call with the mayor of Nimbasa City, who was worried of his city's lowering tourism rates, and wanted White to help in inventing new attractions to solve the issue. White suggested establishing a Pokémon Musical, which the mayor thought to be an excellent idea.

In Defeating Stoutland, Black managed to defeat Lenora and earn himself the Basic Badge. As Black left, Lenora received a phone call from Clay, who told her about the mysterious item he had recently discovered at the Desert Resort, which was revealed to be the Dark Stone. In The Mystery of the Missing Fossil, the Nacrene Museum's Dragon Fossil was stolen by Team Plasma, but Black and Burgh were able to get it back.

In The Battle Within, most of Unova's Gym Leaders set up an ambush on Team Plasma in Nacrene City as they attempted to steal the Dark Stone from the museum. However, in Museum Showdown, the Gym Leaders were caught off-guard when the Shadow Triad unleashed the forces of nature upon them, completely overwhelming them. In Finding Truth, Ghetsis tricked Black into revealing the Dark Stone's hiding place in the museum's basement, allowing him to steal it. The Gym Leaders who had tried to defend the museum were subsequently taken captive by Team Plasma, except for Brycen, who had managed to replace himself with an ice duplicate before being caught. It was then revealed that the museum had also been hiding the Light Stone, which Team Plasma had not been aware of. As Brycen saw the Light Stone rolling towards Black and thus choosing him as the Hero of Truth, he decided to take him to the Tubeline Bridge for a training session.

In Pink Slip, Nacrene City was revealed to be one of the settlements frozen over by the Plasma Frigate.

Trivia

  • Nacrene City has a train track running through the south side of the city.
    • However, it is nonfunctional, as there is no train visible and the track ends abruptly in Pinwheel Forest.
  • Nacrene City shares its Japanese name, Shippou, with Sevault Canyon in the Sevii Islands.
  • A boy in Nacrene City mentions that Dire Hit is called Dire Hit in Unova. This is a reference to the change in the Japanese name of Dire Hit from クリティカッター Criticutter to クリティカット Criticut, in order to make room for the number-level reference of Wonder Launcher items. Because "Dire Hit" is much shorter than the 12-character limit on English item names, this issue does not come up in the translated games.
  • Due to having a variable level, Lass Dye's WhimsicottB/LilligantW can potentially be the highest-leveled Trainer-owned Pokémon outside of a battle facility. Depending on the level of the CottoneeB/PetililW traded to her, the resulting Pokémon may be higher than Red's Pikachu in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and Cynthia's Garchomp in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl (both of whom are at level 88) and can potentially reach all the way to level 100. This trait is shared with Youngster Kyle in the same games and Lass Diana in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
    • In addition, if the player nicknames the CottoneeB/PetililW that is traded to her, the nickname will carry over into the battle, making her the only Trainer to use a nicknamed Pokémon in battle, excluding the Pokémon World Tournament's Mix Tournament.
  • Among the exhibits of the museum, there is an African mask, referring to a place in the real world, in addition to being different from other exhibitions, which are related to the history of the Pokémon.
