Opelucid City is host to the final Gym Trainers challenge on their journey through Unova. The Gym Leader faced depends on the game version. In Pokémon Black, the player will battle Drayden; in Pokémon White the player will battle Iris. They both specialize in Template:Type2s.
Battle House
The Battle House, located west of the entrance, is a building where the player can battle two Ace Trainers in rotation battles in Black, and triple battles in White. Unlike most Trainers in Black and White, these Trainers can be rematched, and will battle the player once per day.

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 Template:Type2 Gym, that Gym is the eighth gym of the region, having the effort value checker and a move tutor for Draco Meteor and 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.
