Discover the Marvelous Bridge in Pokémon Black and White. Find rare items like the Adamant Orb, Lustrous Orb, and Griseous Orb, and encounter unique Pokémon.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To reach Marvelous Bridge, head east from Nimbasa City into Route 16. Follow the road towards the gatehouse.
  2. 2
    If you're visiting after conquering the Pokémon League, the previously blocked path will now be open. Proceed through the gatehouse, up the elevator, and onto the Marvelous Bridge itself.
  3. 3
    As you traverse the bridge, you may encounter airborne shadows. These can either trigger a wild Swanna encounter (Water/Flying type, 100% encounter rate) or allow you to pick up various stat-boosting wings (Health Wing, Muscle Wing, Resist Wing, Genius Wing, Clever Wing, Swift Wing, Pretty Wing).
  4. 4
    You will encounter the Shadow Triad. They will not battle you but instead give you three rare items: the Adamant Orb, Lustrous Orb, and Griseous Orb. These orbs boost the power of the respective Sinnoh legendary dragons and the Griseous Orb can transform Giratina into its Origin Forme.
  5. 5
    A man on the bridge offers to sell you a Magikarp for 500 Poke Dollars. This is a unique opportunity as Magikarp cannot be caught in the wild in Unova.
  6. 6
    Upon reaching the other side of the bridge, take the elevator back down. You will then enter the gatehouse leading to Route 15.
Tips
  • The Magikarp deal is excellent because Magikarp is not available through normal wild encounters in Unova, making trading or this specific purchase the only ways to obtain one.
  • Keep the Adamant Orb, Lustrous Orb, and Griseous Orb safe, as they are rare and valuable items for boosting legendary Pokémon or changing forms.
