Lumiose City (Japanese: ミアレシティ Miare City) is a large city nestled in the north-central part of the Kalos region. It is a prominent central hub of the region and is the most populous city in the Pokémon world.
Tourism is a major industry of the city due to its famous landmarks, such as the Prism Tower, which serves as the city's symbol, and the Lumiose Museum. A wide variety of shops, cafés, and restaurants are spread throughout the entire city and are popular with both tourists and locals alike.
The outer portion of the city is lined by tall office buildings and wide brick and cobblestone boulevards, while the avenues of the inner portion are lined by smaller Parisian-style buildings. The wide roadways throughout the city afford safe and easy passage for both automobile and Gogoat traffic. A large canal also runs diagonally through the city.
Lumiose City has five gates connecting it to outside routes. In the southeast is the Route 4 Gate, in the southwest the Route 5 Gate, in the northwest the Route 13 Gate, in the north the Route 14 Gate, and in the northeast the Route 16 Gate.
Slogan
The City of Light (Japanese: 光の都 The city of light.)
Places of interest
Layout
Many small shops and cafés line the many streets and avenues of Lumiose City. This is a brief guide to the city's layout and where all of its establishments are located.
The city is basically shaped like a spoked wheel. The outside "wheel" is split into North and South Boulevards, while the spokes are divided among several avenues and plazas. The boulevards and avenues are lined with the city's many establishments, while the plazas are primarily open gathering spaces, with an occasional establishment or two on the outskirts. The center hub is devoted to a wide, open area with Prism Tower at its center.
The boulevards are laid out as follows, moving along the street in a clockwise direction:
- South Boulevard
- North Boulevard
All of the avenues and plazas are connected by a continuous ring near the hub, but occasionally there will also be an alleyway connecting two of the spokes farther out from the hub. A group of randomly battlable Trainers also lurk around this inner part of the city.
The city's spokes are laid out in the order given below, moving through them in a clockwise direction starting from the first spoke connected to South Boulevard. The left and right sides referred to below presume the player is facing out from the hub.
- Vert Plaza
- Vernal Avenue
- Bleu Plaza
- Estival Avenue
- Magenta Plaza
Lysandre Café lies on the street between Magenta Plaza and Autumnal Avenue.
- Autumnal Avenue
- Rouge Plaza
- Hibernal Avenue
- Jaune Plaza
- Unnamed street
The city's hub area is called Centrico Plaza and contains only Prism Tower and a Photo Spot.
Prism Tower
- Main article: Lumiose Gym
Prism Tower is a large tower located in Centrico Plaza in the middle of Lumiose City. It houses the Lumiose City Gym. Prism Tower is based on the real-world Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It is also a playable stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
North Boulevard
Galette Stand
A small stand located on the North Boulevard outside Autumnal Avenue that sells Lumiose Galettes for $100 ($80 if the player has at least 50 points of style). The stand only sells freshly baked galettes, which last four hours at a time starting at 3 AM, 9 AM, 3 PM, and 9 PM. Once per day, if the player purchases a galette within an hour of the time they were baked, the player will also receive a free Moomoo Milk.
Lumiose Museum
- Main article: Lumiose Museum
A large, white building that houses many paintings of people and locations in the Pokémon world. Entrance is free, but an audio guide is available for $200 (or for free if the player has at least 90 points of style).
Hotel Richissime
- Main article: Hotel Richissime
A large, black luxury hotel located near the middle of North Boulevard. Each day, the player can be paid for completing certain tasks in the hotel.
Battle Institute
- Main article: Battle Institute
The Battle Institute on the North Boulevard works in the same way as the one in Nimbasa City in Unova. The player can opt for a Battle Test (five consecutive single or double battles) or a Download Test (which can be downloaded either wirelessly or via Wi-Fi at certain time, similar to event Pokémon). The player can win BP here.
Lumiose Station
A very large train station located on the far eastern half of the North Boulevard. Upon entering the Hall of Fame, Professor Sycamore will meet the player here and give them the TMV Pass which allows them to board the train to Kiloude City.
Looker Bureau
Looker's headquarters during the post-game storyline are located in a narrow street between North Boulevard and Rouge Plaza. It is initially empty, but Looker settles in after the player enters the Hall of Fame and upgrades the Mega Ring.
After completing all the Looker Bureau chapters, the player can battle Emma in the Expansion Suit (as Essentia) here on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
South Boulevard
This is the first part of Lumiose City that the player can explore in Pokémon X and Y, along with Vernal Avenue. The other parts are blocked until the player has defeated Team Flare at the Kalos Power Plant and watched Clemont relight the Lumiose Gym.
PR Video Studio
- Main article: Trainer PR Video
A purple building where Trainer PR Videos can be created, located directly across from the South Boulevard Pokémon Center. PR Videos filmed here can be shared with passers-by and people who have been given the player's Nintendo 3DS Friend Code.
When the player reaches sufficient stylishness, the woman at the right counter will add new video effects for PR Videos. She will add two different sets: one if the player has at least 25 points of style, and the other for at least 90 points of style.
Sycamore Pokémon Lab
Professor Sycamore's Pokémon research lab is located directly opposite Vernal Avenue. It is here where the player can receive either Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle upon defeating Professor Sycamore in a Pokémon battle early in the game, as well as their corresponding Mega Stone. After the player enters the Hall of Fame, they can return to the lab to get the Poké Radar from one of the scientists on the second floor.
On the second floor, the player can change Rotom's forms.
Coiffure Clips
A small hairdresser located opposite the Route 5 Gate. The player can have their hair colored and styled here.
The prices and options are slightly different for male and female players. If a female player requests a styling, she may choose to have the stylist style only her front hair or all of her hair (including her front hair, as a secondary option).
- Styling and color: $3,000 (♀, front style only: $2,500)
- Styling: $1,500 (♀, front only: $500)
- Color: $2,000
For both male and female players, the options for colors are the same. In order from lightest to darkest, they are: Blond♂/Blonde♀, Orange, Honey, Brown, and Black.
The styling options differ significantly for male and female players. If the player has at least 50 points of style, additional styling options will be available.
- Male: Very Short, Short, Medium. Additional: Medium Perm
- Female: Short, Bobbed, Medium, Long. Additional: Ponytail, Pigtails
- Female (front): Sideswept, Bangs
At any point, instead of choosing a specific color or style themselves, the player may leave the decision to the stylist by selecting the "Surprise me" option. If this option is chosen, the stylist will pick a random style or color different from the player's current one.
Autumnal Avenue
Poké Ball Boutique
A specialty shop that specializes in different kinds of Poké Balls. It is notably the first location in any Pokémon game where Premier Balls are sold individually.
Juice Shoppe
- Main article: Juice Shoppe
A specialty shop that sells juices made from Berries.
Estival Avenue
A pre-release screenshot of Estival Avenue
Loto-ID Center
- Main article: Pokémon Lottery Corner
A building where the player may participate in a lottery drawing every day. Prizes are granted depending on how many digits from a randomly generated ID number match those of any Pokémon in the player's possession.
Lumiose Press
The building where Alexa works. Alexa will recommend various locations around the city for the player to visit, and offer to take them there.
If the player has a Volcanion in their party, they're able to read a top secret memo about it here.
Vernal Avenue
Friseur Furfrou
A shop that specializes in Furfrou grooming. The player may buy a trim for a Furfrou in their party for $500. Trims last for five days or until the Furfrou is deposited in the PC. The shop initially only offers Star, Diamond, or Heart Trims (as well as the option to return it to a natural look), but as the player gains style, more trims become available. At 10 points of style, the La Reine, Kabuki, and Pharaoh Trims become available, while the Debutante, Matron, and Dandy Trims are available at 50 points of style.
Herboriste
A specialty shop that sells herbal medicines.
Stone Emporium
A specialty shop that sells Evolution stones. A man in the store will offer to sell the player the remaining Mega Stones for the two Kanto starter Pokémon they did not receive from Professor Sycamore. The price of these Mega Stones begins at $1,000,000 but will decrease as the player becomes more stylish, eventually being available for only $10,000. After entering the Hall of Fame, the owner will first offer the Mega Stone for the Kanto starter that is super-effective to the one chosen by the player.
Boutique Couture
A designer fashion and luxury boutique. The first floor sells only women's clothing, whereas the second floor sells only men's clothing. The player is only granted access to the boutique once they have at least 25 points of style. The clothes and accessories sold here have much higher prices than those sold at other boutiques across Kalos.

Restaurants
- Main article: Lumiose City restaurants
Lumiose City has four restaurants located on South Boulevard (Restaurant Le Nah), Autumnal Avenue (Restaurant Le Yeah), Hibernal Avenue (Restaurant Le Wow), and near Rogue Plaza (Sushi High Roller). At each restaurant, the player can pay to be served a meal where the server will battle the player before each course. After finishing a meal, the player will receive a reward: a number of some valuable item, depending on which restaurant the player is in and how well they did.
Lysandre Café
Artwork of Calem riding the Gogoat Shuttle
A red café located near Magenta Plaza. It grants the player access to Lysandre Labs, one of Team Flare's hideouts in the Kalos region. Despite the small size, it serves as an important location in both the main plot line and the after story sideline plot with Xerosic.
Lumi Cab
Lumi Cab is a taxi service with stops located all around Lumiose City, enabling the player to easily travel directly to many locations in the sprawling city. The base fare is $710, but it increases the further away from the destination the taxi starts. All of the destinations are internally assigned to a section of the city, and those destinations in the same section share the same cost, with those in the same section as the taxi starts in costing the cheapest.
Once the player reaches a certain level of stylishness, the driver will start giving a 50% discount on the fare. If the player does not have enough money to pay for the ride, the driver will challenge them to a battle.
The possible destinations are shown below, with the section the destination belongs to noted after the location. Destinations on the Boulevards are split between East and West destinations in addition to North and South, while more internal destinations (mostly on Avenues) are only differentiated by North or South.

Gogoat Shuttle
Signposts located all around the Boulevards, where the player can ride a Gogoat that will take them to South Boulevard East or South Boulevard West if the player is riding at South Boulevard; or North Boulevard East or North Boulevard West if the player is riding at North Boulevard. The fare is flat at $200.
Style
Within Lumiose City, the player has a degree of style which can be raised by doing things around the city. If the player has a high style, prices may be lower, more items and services may be offered, and certain establishments may be accessible that were not before.
Increasing style
When the player first speaks to Alexa in the Lumiose Press building on Estival Avenue, they will gain 5 points of style.

anime
Ash arrived at an airport in Lumiose City with Alexa in Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin! as his first destination in the Kalos region. Ash wanted to challenge the Gym there, but was denied access by Clembot for not having enough Badges. He then fell several feet, where he was saved by Clemont and Bonnie. This is also where Ash had his first Kalos battle, using Pikachu against Clemont's Bunnelby. However, the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, who was trying to snatch Pikachu. The group was saved by a wild Froakie, who was injured in the process, and taken to Professor Sycamore's lab. Following the events of Professor Sycamore's Garchomp going out of control, in Lumiose City Pursuit!, Ash and his friends left Lumiose City in A Battle of Aerial Mobility!. Serena first arrived at Lumiose City at the end of the episode, where she chose Fennekin as her starter Pokémon at Professor Sycamore's lab in the next episode.
Ash and his friends along with Serena arrived again at Lumiose City in Grooming Furfrou!, where they went to a grooming salon owned by Sherman. In Clemont's Got a Secret!, the group went to the Lumiose Gym for Clemont to get the ownership of the Gym back from Clembot. Finally, in Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!, the group went back to Professor Sycamore's lab, where Clemont was given a Chespin, after which they left the city again.
In The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!, Clemont returned to Lumiose City on his own via helicopter to train for his upcoming Gym battle with Ash.
Ash, Serena, and Bonnie reunited with Clemont in Confronting the Darkness! for Ash's Gym battle against Clemont. However, the match was interrupted by Officer Jenny who arrested Clembot for the crimes committed by Dark Clembot and Belmondo, who were eventually found outside Lumiose Museum. Lumiose University, an electronics store, a high-end boutique, and a 3 star hotel were also featured in this episode. In The Moment of Lumiose Truth!, Ash eventually had his Gym battle against Clemont and his Bunnelby, Heliolisk, and Luxray, and won with his Pikachu, Hawlucha, and Goodra. This victory earned Ash the Voltage Badge, his fifth Kalos League Badge overall. Following the Gym battle, the group took a visit to Professor Sycamore again in Garchomp's Mega Bond!, after which they left the city.

As revealed in Seeing the Forest for the Trees!, Lumiose City would be the site of the Kalos League. The Lumiose Conference began in A League of His Own! and ended in Down to the Fiery Finish!, with Alain as the victor. As the closing ceremonies were underway, Team Flare, having secretly taken over the Prism Tower, took control of Z2 and forced it to transform into its 50% Forme. After doing so, it attacked the city with massive roots, causing serious damage to it, Prism Tower, and the stadium where the Lumiose Conference was taking place.
Lumiose City was put under siege by Team Flare, using the roots created by Zygarde, from A Towering Takeover! to Forming a More Perfect Union!. In Battling with a Clean Slate! and The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!, after the Team Flare crisis ended, Lumiose City began a process of rebuilding. In Till We Compete Again!, Ash and the gang returned to Lumiose City to bid farewell to Alain, Mairin, and Professor Sycamore before Ash and Serena left the Kalos region for Pallet Town and Hoenn, respectively. After both Ash and Serena departed through the Lumiose airport, Clemont and Bonnie returned to Prism Tower.
In XYS06, Cilan visited Lumiose City for a fishing tournament, where he met Clemont and Bonnie, asking the former to take him to Prism Tower. On the way, the trio also explored the Lumiose Subway system. After getting to see the tower, Cilan departed to go see the Tower of Mastery in Shalour City.
Lumiose City appeared briefly in A Festival Reunion! as Ash and Goh flew over it on their way to Shalour City.
In The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!, Ash and Goh traveled to Lumiose City for Ash next World Coronation Series battle against Elite Four member Drasna. In order to prepare him for it, they visited Clemont and Bonnie at the Lumiose Gym, where Ash's Sirfetch'd and Dracovish ended up learning Meteor Assault and Dragon Rush, respectively. The battle between Ash and Drasna took place the next day at the Lumiose Conference stadium. The tough battle eventually ended in Ash's victory, increasing his tournament ranking.

Pokémon Generations
In The Beauty Eternal, many citizens in many areas of Lumiose City were going about their daily lives after the release of the Holo Caster. Café Soleil was also shown, with Lysandre discussing with Diantha about the concept of eternal beauty.
In The Investigation, Looker confronted and chased down Essentia through Lumiose City, before eventually cornering her in Lysandre Café and revealing her as Emma.
In The Redemption, a parade was held in Lumiose City to celebrate the new Kalos League Champion, Calem. During the parade, AZ appeared and challenged Calem to battle. He lost, but was still relieved of having freed from the part of him that had built the ultimate weapon 3000 years earlier. Hearing this, his long-lost Floette returned to him, causing him to break into tears.

Pokémon Evolutions
Lumiose City appeared in The Visionary, first in a brief flashback and later when Professor Sycamore was seen watching a Holo Caster broadcast about Lysandre at his laboratory.
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Lumiose City first appeared in They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping and Kangaskhan...Kangascan't, where Professor Sycamore showed Lysandre the footage of Xerneas and Yveltal's battle in Vaniville Town, sent to him by Trevor.
The city reappared in What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes, where X, Y, Tierno, Trevor, Shauna arrived in the city. Following Trevor's suggestion, the group decided to visit Professor Sycamore, delivering his lost Charmander back to him in the process. Seeing X's negative mood, Sycamore decided to cheer him up by challenging him to a battle. After the battle, Sycamore gave Charmander to X, and was also surprised to find out that X had come to accept the Chespin he had sent to him.
Meanwhile, Trevor had his broken Holo Caster fixed by Lysandre, although he felt himself extremely nervous around the man's presence, having recognized his figure from one of the pictures taken during Vaniville Town's destruction. Lysandre later sent his Pokémon to surround the children, but they were saved by the arrival of Diantha.
The group later visited the Prism Tower in order to ask Professor Sycamore about something they forgot before, not aware that the interview Professor Sycamore had gone to have at the tower was already over. Once there, the group found Alexa being attacked by the Lumiose Press editor-in-chief, who, having allied with Team Flare, was trying to silence Alexa to keep her from spilling out the truth about the destruction of Vaniville Town. X battled and defeated the editor-in-chief, allowing the group to escape the city. An Electrike from the tower had become interested in X, and subsequently started following them as they left Lumiose City.
The group returned to Lumiose City in PS593. Much to their shock, the people of Lumiose City seemed to be completely unaware of the recent events and treated them like scum. Despite this, they stopped AZ's seeming attempt to use the ultimate weapon again, leading to the weapon's key getting destroyed. AZ then revealed that he was merely testing them to see if they'd choose the same path as Team Flare. Having felt a change in AZ's heart, his long-lost Floette then returned to him. Professor Sycamore suggested a parade for the group to celebrate them saving the Kalos region, but they declined the offer. Three months later, Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor had all moved to Lumiose City, with Shauna becoming a Furfrou stylist, Tierno teaching the Lumiose Gang how to dance, and Trevor taking over Sina and Dexio's role as Sycamore's assistant, while the duo headed to the Alola region to study the sightings of Zygarde made there.
In PS595, Essentia seemed to resurface in Lumiose City while Trevor had an encounter with the Artificial Pokémon Magearna. It helped him stop Essentia, who turned out to be just a robot created by Xerosic.

Trivia
- A woman beside Café Bataille explains that the two Skiddo in front of Lumiose Station were abandoned by their Trainer and wait by the station for his return. This is a possible reference to the story of Hachikō, an Akita dog who waited at the train station every day for his owner's return, even after his unexpected death. The story is a popular legend in Japanese culture.
- If the player enters Lumiose City and gets on their bicycle, the music does not change.
- At the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center, a young man mentions Team Plasma "making news a while back in the Unova region," while a young woman mentions Professor Oak's grandson having visited Kalos to study abroad. She also tells how he used to say "Bonjour" while meeting and "Smell ya later!" while leaving. The first quote refers to the way how Blue greets the player while visiting S.S. Anne in the original Generation I games and their remakes, while the latter one was used whenever he left the player's presence.
- The architecture style of Lumiose City is very similar to its real counterpart. Paris itself consists mostly of buildings dating back up to several centuries and the outskirts (also called the Parisian suburbs) were recently urbanized, dating back to the 1960s.
- Similarly to Paris, Lumiose City has roads connecting to all parts of Kalos. The only difference is that Paris' connections to all parts of France are used by railroads.
- The layout of the city is also extremely similar to the area of Paris surrounding the Arc de Triomphe.
- On the second floor of the Fighting Dojo's building, a Hex Maniac will appear, say "No, you're not the one," and float away. The purpose of this in-game event, if there is one, is not known yet.
- In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player can talk to a Hex Maniac on the first floor of Mt. Pyre's interior who says the exact same words. The relation between these two events is unknown.
- Behind the second TMV timetable in Lumiose Station, some words are written, saying "I'm going to go for help. Wait in the usual place."
- The shape and colors of the plazas closely resemble the logo of the Battle Frontier in Generation IV.
- Lumiose City is tied with Hammerlocke for having the most Pokémon Centers in a single city, with three.
- The Mega Stones for the Kanto starter Pokémon sold at the Stone Emporium are the most expensive purchasable items in the Pokémon games, costing $1,000,000 originally. Some items have been listed for the same price in previous games, but they have not been purchasable since that price was specifically chosen in those instances to be $1 more than the player could hold.
- In Jaune Plaza, there are two girls who are mimicking the sounds of Pokémon. In the Japanese version, one girl is mimicking the sound of Heatran while the other is complimenting her. However, this is mistranslated in the English version to imply that a Lava Dome Pokémon appears in Jaune Plaza.
- The train station's design may be based off the Gare-du-Nord train station in Paris, France.
- The Southern Boulevard of Lumiose City makes an appearance as a backdrop when a Pokémon from Kalos is used in the Alola Photo Club in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Glitches
Lumiose City save glitch
Map of Lumiose City by Nintendo indicating areas unsafe to load saves in
- Main article: Lumiose City save glitch
At the time of release of Pokémon X and Y, many players reported being unable to move after loading a save within Lumiose City. According to Nintendo.com, if the player saves the game in certain areas of Lumiose City, then ends the game, the controls will not respond when the saved game is reloaded. They provided a map indicating known areas where the glitch can occur, which includes the entire outer boulevards. On October 25, 2013, Nintendo released a patch for this glitch via the Nintendo eShop.
Fire Blast camera clipping glitch
When a Pokémon with a large hitbox (such as Rayquaza) uses Fire Blast in a battle in one of the back alleys of Lumiose City, when the camera pans backwards, it will clip through the building to the right side of the Pokémon, causing it to completely disappear momentarily.
Origin
Lumiose City and Prism Tower are based on Paris and the Eiffel Tower respectively.
