Location Location of Opelucid City in Unova.

Opelucid City (Japanese: ソウリュウシティ Soryu City) is a city in the northern and central area of the Unova region. The look of Opelucid City differs between versions. In Pokémon Black, the city has a technological appearance, while in Pokémon White, it has a natural appearance. The music reflects their respective appearances in both versions as well. Black 2 and White 2 maintains this difference as well.

During storyline of Black 2 and White 2, the city is frozen by the Plasma Frigate. During the credits, it is seen thawing out. Additionally, after the events of Pokémon Black and White, a landslide on Victory Road apparently occurred and, as a safety precaution, the northern exit to Route 10 is sealed off; Route 10 therefore no longer exists in Black 2 and White 2. The gate is also completely destroyed.

Route 10 Exit

Northern exit as it appears in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.

The northern exit of the city differs between the two sets of games. In Pokémon Black and White it exits to Route 10, but thanks to the events in the two years preceding Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the northern exit was sealed off.

This change removes Route 10 from Unova completely.

Trivia

• Opelucid's Japanese motto is 過去と 未來が 絡みあう街.
• The city is similar to Blackthorn City in that they are both host to a Dragon-type Gym, that Gym is the eighth Gym of the region at some point, that they both have the effort value checker and a Move Tutor for Draco Meteor, and that they are both located in the northern part of their respective regions.
• This is the second city in Unova where the Gym Leader varies, though not in the same way as the Striaton Gym.
