The Driftveil Drawbridge (Japanese: ホドモエの跳ね橋 Hodomoe Drawbridge) is a bridge that connects Driftveil City and Route 5. It is the pride of Driftveil City and is also referred to as Charizard Bridge (Japanese: リザードンブリッジ Lizardon Bridge) for its beauty and elegance.

Wild Pokémon often fly over the bridge, leaving shadows which can either cause a battle with the flying Pokémon or one of its feathers may fall and be picked up.

In Black 2 and White 2, a small sidequest occurs where if the player has given a man in an orange shirt a Fresh Water at Skyarrow Bridge, then they will meet up with the same man here. Should the player give him another Fresh Water, then he will become re-hydrated and dash to the Tubeline Bridge.

Driftveil Drawbridge in the anime

Driftveil Drawbridge was first seen in Crisis from the Underground Up!, where it was shut down by Dr. Zager hacking into its control system. The bridge was mentioned again in Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!, where Elesa told Ash that he could not travel there yet because it was closed for repairs at the time. In The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!, Ash and his friends finally crossed the bridge to Driftveil City, meeting Clay in the process.

Black & White arc

The Driftveil Drawbridge was first mentioned in Special Delivery. During the Pokémon Musical's opening ceremony, White was informed that problems with the drawbridge meant that the delivery truck carrying the Prop Cases that were meant to be distributed to the audience was not able to arrive on time. As such, White decided to call Skyla to deliver the Prop Cases by air instead.

In Drawing Bridges, the problems at the bridge continued when Black, on his way to Driftveil City, found himself battling a mischievous Zorua on the bridge. Clay later revealed that Zorua was the one responsible for tampering with the controls for the bridge.

Trivia

• Like other Unova bridges, if the player rides the bicycle here, the bicycle music will not play.
• Several sound effects are played at a fixed interval, alternating between the sound of a plane, the sound of a helicopter, and the cry of Charizard, the latter being a reference to the bridge's alternative name.
• This is the only bridge in Unova that the player can cross before the post-game in both Black and White and Black 2 and White 2.
• This is the only bridge in Unova without the need to enter a gate.
