Following on from the capture of Regirock, you will receive a special Unova Link key. The Iron Key in Black 2 or the Iceberg Key in White 2.

Typically, this would make them version exclusives with Registeel being Black 2 and Regice being White 2. However, the ability to share across Unova Link means that if your friend has the opposite game and has captured Regirock and got the key, he can send that key to you
