Location Location of Driftveil City in Unova.

Driftveil City in spring in Black and White

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 and White, a small beach to the east of the Pokémon Center was available to use Surf from to reach the lighthouse. In Black and White 2 however, both the beach and Lighthouse have been removed.

In Black 2 and White 2, several strange craters have appeared throughout the city. One of the craters in particular, Clay Tunnel (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.

In Black and White, the houses in Driftveil City all had orange-colored roofs so they looked bright at sunset. However, in Black and White 2, this style has changed, and the city now sports very large emerald-colored towers, which are hotels to house the visitors of Driftveil City for the Pokémon World Tournament. Inside are tables and other furniture all covered in emeralds, which could be a result of Clay's mining operation success in Black and White two years ago; however, this is not confirmed.

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.
