Location Location of Nimbasa City in Unova.

Nimbasa City in spring in Black and White

Nimbasa City (Japanese: ライモンシティ Raimon City) is a city located in central Unova. There are three routes connecting to it: to the south of the city is Route 4 and the vast Desert Resort, to the west is Route 5, and to the east is Route 16. Nimbasa City is the most populous city in the Unova region and the fourth-most populous in the Pokémon world, behind Kalos's Lumiose City, Galar's Wyndon, and Paldea's Mesagoza. In contrast to Castelia City, which is the heart of business and economy in the region, Nimbasa serves as the heart of leisure and entertainment. Nimbasa City is well known for its grand-scale landmarks such as the Musical Theater, Gear Station, Big Stadium and Small Court, Battle Institute, and the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel and amusement park.

Elesa is the Gym Leader of Nimbasa City. She specializes in the Electric type and hands out the Bolt Badge upon defeat.

Slogan

Lit by the Flash of Lightning! (Japanese: 稲妻きらめく　輝きの街 Shining city where lightning sparkles.)

Places of interest

Musical Theater

Main article: Pokémon Musical

The Musical Theater (Japanese: ミュージカルホール Musical Hall) is where the Pokémon Musical takes place, located in the north of Nimbasa. In Pokémon Black and White, the player meets Bianca here upon their first arrival.

Inside, the owner of the theater will give the player a Prop Case and show them how to dress up their Pokémon.

Gear Station

Main article: Battle Subway

Gear Station is the central hub of the Battle Subway. All eight lines of the Battle Subway are accessed through Gear Station, including the only available route to Anville Town. The stats judge which can appraise a Pokémon's IVs is located in Gear Station as well.

Big Stadium and Small Court

Main article: Big Stadium and Small Court

Nimbasa City's sports venues, Big Stadium and Small Court, are where sportspeople and sports fans go to practice and engage in both Pokémon battles and the sport of their choosing. They are also the places where sporting events are hosted in the Unova region. Big Stadium hosts sports requiring fields, specifically baseball, soccer, and football; meanwhile, Small Court hosts sports requiring courts, specifically tennis and basketball.

Trainers may be battled daily at both facilities except during event hours.

Battle Institute

Main article: Battle Institute

The Battle Institute is a facility located west of the Pokémon Center. Once the player has completed the main game, they can take part in a Battle Test at the facility to have their battling skills rated.

Rondez-View Ferris Wheel

The Rondez-View Ferris Wheel is a couples-only Ferris wheel.

Trainers may be battled here daily; the Trainer varies with the season and the gender of the player. The Trainers' Japanese names are related to the season they appear in; however in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Hiker Natsumi (Andy in English) appears in autumn even though his name contains natsu (summer). The English names occasionally relate to the seasons, with some containing months (such as Maya and Augustine) and others having more indirect relationships (such as Aurora appearing in the autumn like its real life counterpart, and Persephone being named after the Greek goddess with an association to spring).

After the battle, the Trainer will accompany the player on the Ferris wheel. In the Japanese version, the conversations on the Ferris wheel are laced with double entendres. In the Japanese and French versions of Black 2 and White 2, Nursery Aide June admits to being a man disguised as a woman in order to be a Nursery Aide, but this dialogue is cut from the English translations.

In Pokémon Black and White, N is battled here as part of the main storyline. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, after entering the Hall of Fame, special non-battleable characters will appear on certain days of the week prior to the Trainers that would normally be there; with the player's rival appearing on Tuesdays, Bianca appearing on Wednesdays, N appearing on Fridays, and Cheren appearing on Saturdays. After meeting certain requirements, Yancy*/Curtis* can be met in front of the Ferris wheel to trade with the player daily. If both Yancy/Curtis and a special character are at the Ferris wheel at the same time, then the former will get priority and will remain there until they are interacted with. The special character will appear afterwards, followed by a standard Trainer.

Pokémon Black and White

These Trainers can only be battled after defeating Elesa.

Nimbasa City Gym

Main article: Nimbasa Gym

The Nimbasa Gym is the official Gym of Nimbasa City, specializing in Electric-type Pokémon. In Pokémon Black and White, it contains a series of roller coasters. In Pokémon Black and White 2, the Gym moved from its original location (which is still explored by the player before visiting the official Gym) and is now a runway for models. The Gym Leader is Elesa, who gives out the Bolt Badge and TM72 (Volt Switch) upon being defeated.
