The Lock Capsule (Japanese: ロックカプセル Lock Capsule) is an unobtainable Key Item that was first included in the game data of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. It is not legitimately available in any game. The Lock Capsule's menu sprite differs between Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and Pokémon Black and White.

In Pokémon Black and White, it would have been the only way to obtain TM95 (Snarl), but was never released. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, TM95 can be obtained in regular gameplay.

In Pokémon Black and White, it can be opened by Mr. Lock in Castelia City, allowing the player to retrieve the exclusive TM95 (Snarl) from inside it.
