Reversal Mountain (Japanese: リバースマウンテンReverse Mountain) is a mountain located in eastern Unova. It is connected to Undella Town from the east and to Lentimas Town from the west. The Strange House is just east of Lentimas Town on the exterior of the mountain. Inside the mountain, Bianca will join the player as a Multi Battle partner.
Reversal Mountain was where Heatran used to come to cool off. If the player finds and brings the Magma Stone to the mountain's lowest floor, Heatran will appear.
Geography
The exterior of Reversal Mountain is an arid desert landscape. The mountain's interior differs between versions: in Pokémon Black 2, the mountain's interior is filled with water, while in Pokémon White 2, it is filled with magma.
The first time that the player travels through the main cavern of the mountain, Bianca will decide to accompany them. She fully heals the player's Pokémon after each battle and stays with the player until they've reached the Undella Town exit. If the player tries to leave through the Lentimas Town exit, she will stay and wait for the player's return. While she's with the player, all wild battles become Double Battles, and all Trainer battles that would be Double Battles become Multi Battles.

While Bianca is with the player, the following Pokémon will be faced in Double Battles, with Bianca as the player's partner.

While Bianca is with the player, the following Trainers, if they would normally be faced in Double Battles, will instead be faced in Multi Battles, with Bianca as the player's partner.

Reversal Mountain's name might be based on the different conditions in the interior between the versions and the different times of eruptions, seeming to be a dormant volcano in Black 2, and an active one in White 2. However, true to its name, their respective map descriptions seem to be reversed.
When talking to Battle Girl Chan after fighting her, she says "A flood of attacks from three Pokémon... I know! "Jetstream" attack! Let's call it that." This is a reference to a famous combat formation from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam involving three units, two focusing on distanced attacks and one focusing on melee.
When talking to Pokémon Ranger Eliza after fighting her, she says "Volcanoes are called 'kazan' in my language!" Kazan (火山) is the Japanese word for volcano.
Both versions of the main cavern of the mountain contain an empty, walled-off room that cannot be accessed by the player; these correspond to the areas in the opposite version that lead to the basement level.
If the player enters Reversal Mountain from the west entrance during the main story, causing Bianca to follow them, then goes through the southernmost exit and comes back inside, returning to the start of the cave will cause her to ask to split up. The player will then move to the next screen, where, if they then use either an Escape Rope or Dig, they will exit back to the southernmost point. Returning to the main part of the cave will cause Bianca's dialogue box to appear, but she will not be on-screen. After walking around for a while, she will eventually catch up to the player, but may travel through walls in the process.
