The Silph Corporation (Japanese: シルフカンパニー Silph Company) is a company in many versions of the Pokémon franchise. They are the manufacturers of many tools, including the Silph Scope, which allows the user to view spectral entities, and have headquarters in Saffron City. They are also speculated to run the Poké Marts in Kanto and possibly Johto and the Sevii Islands.

Company information

A Silph Co. Master Ball.

Overview

Silph Co. is the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology. It is this company that develops the most commercially used Poké Balls, constantly looking for ways to improve upon them. Silph is also known to produce several other Pokémon-related items, including medicine and Technical Machines, supplying Poké Marts of their territory. Its president is a kind, old man.

History

Silph's status had made it a target of Team Rocket, which, in Generation I and III, orchestrated the takeover of their headquarters in Saffron City. The situation will be resolved by the player, who will take on the mission of driving them out of the city. It is revealed by the company's president that the top-secret development project Team Rocket was after is the Master Ball, which can catch any Pokémon without fail.

Headquarters

The Silph Co. Head Office Building, based in Saffron City, is an eleven-floor skyscraper that is effectively a giant maze.

Generations I and III

In the games, the player can navigate it using warp tiles in order to reach the board room on the top floor. The player must find the Card Key, which unlocks Silph's doors like a hotel key, on the fifth floor of the building in order to do this. All the while, the player must battle through numerous Team Rocket Grunts, including the Rocket Brothers, and one Juggler.

Then the player must return to the third floor, open the doors in the center-left of the floor, and use the warp tile to the far left to be taken to the room with a further warp tile that leads to board room. The player's rival waits in that room and the player must face him before continuing on. After he has been beaten, the other person in the room will give the player a Lapras, an extremely rare Pokémon that cannot be obtained any other way in Generation I.

After this, the player may continue on to the board room to face Giovanni for the Master Ball. After rescuing Silph, the player is free to explore the building and talk to the employees.

Generations II and IV

In Generation II, Silph Co. has increased security, and the player is not allowed to enter the upper floors. One of the guards will kindly give the player an Up-Grade for talking to him. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the elevator has broken and is unsafe, denying the player access to the upper floors.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, one of the Hoenn region's starter Pokémon may be obtained here from the Hoenn Champion, Steven Stone, after defeating Red. He will also trade his Beldum for a Forretress.

Generation IV introduced a logo for the company that appears on the Pokégear and has a statue based on it in the company's building.

Rotom's Room

Main article: Rotom's Room

The alternate forms of Rotom may also be accessed here in Generation IV via the broken elevator. When Rotom is in the party the Silph Co. building will be deserted of all people, including Steven. The notebook present in the room indicates that Charon may have had past connection to the company.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Silph Co. made a brief appearance at the end of Holy Moltres in the Red, Green & Blue arc, where Sabrina was in the office with Giovanni saying that they have captured all the legendary birds. It collapsed, as seen in Ponyta Tale. Two years later, Agatha picked up the Badge Amplifier that was buried in the rubble for usage at Cerise Island.

Silph Co. in Super Smash Bros.

Silph Co. appears in Saffron City as a playable stage in Super Smash Bros.. The battle takes place on the roof of Silph Co. and a few smaller surrounding buildings, along with two small moving platforms. This is the home stage of Pikachu and Jigglypuff in the game.

Certain Pokémon will emerge from the elevator on the Silph Co. building and attack briefly, similar to Pokémon summoned from Poké Balls. Occasionally, Pidgey, Fearow, Butterfree, and other Template:Type2 Pokémon will appear in the background.

Trivia

• Oddly enough, among the Grunts and Team Rocket scientists in Silph Co. is Juggler Dalton, who attacks the player like any grunt, exclaiming that kids shouldn't be here. He battles the player with a Kadabra and a Mr. Mime. After the battle, he says that it's a long way to his boss, indirectly referring to Giovanni, which hints that Dalton is associated with Team Rocket (though is clearly not a grunt). He is also the only Team Rocket member not belonging to Team Rocket or Scientist Trainer classes.
• When the player encounters Scientist Taylor, before battle he says that he was shipped off to the "Tiksi branch" of the company, which after being defeated he says is "in Russian no-man's-land". This is another reference of the real world in Pokémon games, and shows that Silph probably has more branches than just the one in Saffron City.
• On the eleventh floor there is an accessible PC. It is possibly there to allow players with a full party to deposit a Pokémon so that they can receive the Lapras from the person on the seventh floor without having to go all the way to the Pokémon Center.
• Though a logo for the company was not introduced in-game until Generation IV, several possible logos have been seen in previous games. One appeared on the side of the Silph Co. building in Super Smash Bros. (see above). Another appeared on the original Pokégear artwork as a stylized 'S'; however, neither is truly confirmed to be the company's logo.
• It should be noted that none of the overworld office buildings so far contain exactly eleven floors, despite the interior having 11. FireRed and LeafGreen's building only has nine on the outside, while the building used in every other game with access to Kanto has ten.

Name origin

It is speculated that Silph Co.'s name is derived from the sylph, a mythological creature.
