The Ranger Union (Japanese: レンジャーユニオン Ranger Union) is an organization in the Pokémon Ranger series that aims to protect humans and Pokémon. Members of the organization are known as Pokémon Rangers, who use Capture Stylers to maintain peace in the region where they work. The Ranger Union is known to operate in Fiore, Almia, and Oblivia.

In the spin-off games

The Ranger Union headquarters are located west of Altru Park in Almia, and can be reached by traveling along Union Road. The organization was founded and led by Chairperson Erma. Professor Hastings, the creator of the Capture Styler, also works here, along with Murph, Rhythmi, Linda, and Marcus.

Pokémon Ranger

The Ranger Union operates four Ranger Bases in Fiore.

Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

The Ranger Union headquarters play a major part in the story of Shadows of Almia. The player visits once with Barlow while stationed at the Vientown Ranger Base. They are promoted to the rank of Top Ranger after the events at the Cargo Ship, and move to the Ranger Union headquarters to continue their Ranger duties there. Late in the game, after clearing the Oil Field Hideout, the building is attacked by Team Dim Sun, and the player must defend the institution.

Quests

These are the quests which can be found in the Ranger Union:

Murph's Ranger Contest Ranger Union Murph Reward: Time Assist So, this is my contest, and the theme is Eevee! The seven evolutions of Eevee are Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon. Gotta capture 'em all and bring 'em to me!

Roserade Red, Roserade Blue? Ranger Union Rhythmi Reward: Bug Defense The flower on Roserade's right hand... I can't remember if it was red or blue. There's a big argument over that! Supposedly there's one deep in the forest. Will you capture one for us?

Charge Up the Trio! Ranger Union Nage Reward: Electric Defense Raichu, Luxray, and Ampharos. That threesome appears to be what we need for our studies. They look capable of generating seriously powerful electricity. Please, bring them to us.

What Happened to Machop!? Ranger Union Old Man Reward: New Partner Pokémon There was a Machop up on Peril Cliffs that was training for something. It's disappeared! Maybe, just maybe, it could be in trouble. It could be trapped under a giant boulder! Go check on it, please!

Staraptor High in the Sky Ranger Union Wendy (Ranger) Reward: Latent Power I think it will lift my guy's spirits to see wild Staraptor. It will inspire him to soar again, I'm sure of it. Please, can you bring back six Staraptor for the two of us?

Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs

Pokémon Rangers in Oblivia take orders directly from the Ranger Union, as there are no Ranger Bases in Oblivia. The Union's map room can be seen briefly in the game's opening and epilogue, this time displaying a map of Oblivia rather than Almia.

In the anime

The Ranger Union headquarters made an appearance in the Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs anime special.

Trivia

• Although the Ranger School stresses the importance of Rangers, Operators, and Mechanics working together, there are no Mechanics at the Ranger Union headquarters.
• The Ranger Union has an azure globe with meridians as insignia, as seen in the Glossary from the first game of the series. The globe represents worldliness, and might thus hint the Union is an organization operating world-wide. Below the globe, however, an arrow-like shape is seen. It might be a reference to the motion of the Styler's top-like part resembling that of a planetary orbit.
• Inside Rand's House in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, players can see on the wall what is assumed to be Ranger Union's flag : a red field with a gray-bordered white oval in the center containing the Union's globe. The same colours are seen on professional Stylers as well as the uniforms worn by most Rangers.
• In Pokémon Ranger: The Comic – Shadows of Almia, the Union's flag is portrayed as a white field with the Union's globe in the middle. It might possibly be a reference to the colours of the UN, representing neutrality.
