Marvelous Bridge

Learn how to find and catch the Legendary Pokémon Cresselia on Marvelous Bridge in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, including battle tips and strategies.

Alright, so you've made it to Marvelous Bridge in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2! This place is pretty cool because it's not just a bridge; it's also a spot where you can snag a Legendary Pokémon. Before we even get there, though, there's a super important item you need: the Lunar Wing. If you don't have it yet, you'll want to head over to the Strange House and grab it. Trust me, without it, you won't be able to interact with Cresselia, and that would be a real bummer.

Now, about Marvelous Bridge itself. It works a lot like the Driftveil Drawbridge you might remember. Keep an eye out for airborne shadows – that's where you'll find Swanna. Sometimes, when you step into one of these shadows, you'll either battle a Swanna or find a feather. You can't tell which is which until you step in, so just be ready for either!

As you head west across the bridge, you'll notice a girl who disappears. Yep, that's the ghost from the Strange House! Keep going, and partway across, Cresselia will show up. If you've got that Lunar Wing, it'll fly down onto the bridge, ready for you to try and catch it. This is your chance to snag a Legendary, so make sure you Save your game right before you interact with it. That way, if you mess up the catch, you can just reset and try again. No biggie!

If you're not feeling ready to catch it just yet, that's totally fine! You can just leave it be and come back later when you're better prepared. Just don't interact with it, and it'll wait for you.

Legendary Pokemon Battle: Cresselia

So, you're facing Cresselia. This Psychic-type Pokémon is Level 68. While it has some pretty solid defenses, its offense isn't the strongest, making it a bit of a sitting duck for you to catch. If you've battled the Lake trio before, you'll know that Dark-types are super useful here. They can help absorb Cresselia's Future Sight and Psycho Cut attacks.

The main thing you need to watch out for is Cresselia's move called Moonlight. This move heals it, and it's even more effective at night. The good news is that it can only use Moonlight a limited number of times – five, or three if your Pokémon have the Pressure ability. After it runs out of healing moves, it's pretty much smooth sailing from there. Just keep tossing those Poké Balls!

Once you're done with Cresselia, continue heading west. Near the very end of the bridge, you'll find a guy selling a Level 5 Magikarp for just $500. It might seem a bit random, but Magikarp can be a bit trickier to find in Unova compared to Kanto, so if you want one, now's a good time to grab it!

After all that, you'll reach an elevator at the end of the bridge. Take it down to the gate below, and boom! You've just unlocked the path between Marvelous Bridge and Route 16. From here, you can fly wherever you want and continue your adventure in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Pretty neat, huh?
