Location of Driftveil City in Unova.

Driftveil City (Japanese: ホドモエシティ Hodomoe City) is a major ocean port city in western Unova. It has strong wind currents popular with sailboaters. More importantly, its ports are used by freighters and fishing boats that import and export goods such as vegetables in and out of Unova. A large market offering some useful items occupies part of the city. Driftveil is typically subject to precipitation year-round.

In Black 2 and White 2, several strange craters have appeared throughout the city. One of the craters in particular, Clay Road (named after the city's Gym Leader), connects the city to an underground mining cave that stretches to the nearby Mistralton Cave, Twist Mountain, and Underground Ruins. Another crater leads to Castelia Sewers and the Relic Castle.

The city has two possible entrances on foot: from Route 6 to the west and from the Driftveil Drawbridge to the east, which leads to Unova's central peninsula.

A hiker inside Pinwheel Forest says that trees that are cut down are sent from Driftveil City to the rest of the world.

Places of interest

Market

The market is located on the western side of the city. Herbal medicine and Moomoo Milk can be bought here. After defeating Team Plasma and obtaining the National Pokédex, a former Team Plasma Grunt sells incense for $9600 each.

The Driftveil Gym is the official Gym of Driftveil City. The Gym Leader is Clay, who uses Ground-type Pokémon. Trainers who defeat him are awarded the Quake Badge, as well as TM78 (Bulldoze) as a reward.

Move lover's house

In the house north of the Driftveil Market, there is a girl who requests to see a certain random TM move every day. When the player presents a Pokémon that knows the move she asked for, she will reward the player with a Heart Scale. The move requested will always be one that can be taught via a TM the player currently owns.
