N/Nate, known mostly as SecondBestShipping and/or Nキョウ (NKyou), is a rare ship in the Pokémon fandom. It pairs N (N) and Nate (Kyouhei). While N was first introduced as the leader of Team Plasma and a rival to the player character in Pokémon Black and White, Nate comes from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 as those games' male playable character.
N/Nate is often seen as a successor to Hilbert/N, which pairs Hilbert, the male playable character from Black and White, with N. The ship is more popular than N/Nate.
