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.

Price

Effect

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it has no use. If received via Mystery Gift, the menu option "VIEW LOCK CAPSULE CARD" will appear in the Mystery Gift menu, displaying "The Lock Capsule is held in the strictest safekeeping." as Wonder Card text. It can then be transferred to Pokémon Black and White by using the Relocator, which will change the Wonder Card text to "The Lock Capsule was delivered safely!".

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.

Distribution

The Lock Capsule was never distributed.

Trivia

• The Lock Capsule also contains a letter read by Mr. Lock upon opening it: "I entrust the Technical Machine in the Lock Capsule to a trustworthy Trainer in the Unova region. Don't allow it to fall into the hands of villains like Team Rocket."
