'''Po Town''' (Japanese: '''ポータウン''' ''Pō Town'') is a town situated on [[Ula'ula Island]] of the [[Alola]] region. It is occupied by [[Team Skull]] and houses their base of operations, the [[Shady House]].

==Places of interest==
===Shady House===
{{main|Shady House}}
Shady House is the base of Team Skull, a dilapidated mansion at the far end of Po Town, where [[Guzma]] also stays from time to time.

===Pokémon Center===
As the [[Pokémon Center]], like the rest of Po Town, is occupied by Team Skull, no operational [[Poké Mart]], [[Pokémon Center Café]], or [[PC]] can be found there. A {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}} will, however, offer to heal the player's Pokémon for {{pdollar}}10 whenever she's asked to. After the player has become {{pkmn|Champion}}, the Grunt, along with her cohort, will offer to sell them a [[Fashion item|Skull Tank]]. If the player purchases the tank top, the two Grunts will leave the Pokémon Center, leaving it with no more functional use.

==In the manga==
[[File:Po Town Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Po Town Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Po Town debuted in the {{chap|Sun & Moon}}. [[Gladion]] traveled there after being made a [[Team Skull]] Enforcer by [[Guzma]]. Shortly after arriving, Gladion was attacked by [[Plumeria]] and a group of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s, who wanted to see if he was skilled enough for the job. Though Gladion proved himself during the battle, his negative attitude angers Plumeria to the point where she refuses to accept him as a true member of Team Skull. When Plumeria tells Gladion to follow her, Gladion complies, but is momentarily distracted when a {{p|Zygarde}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Zygarde|Core]] jumps past him.
