The Silph Co. (Japanese: シルフカンパニー Sylph Company), also known as simply Silph (Japanese: シルフ Sylph), is a company headquartered at the Silph Co. Office Building or Silph Co. Head Office (Japanese: シルフ カンパニー ほんしゃ ビル Sylph Company Main Office Building; シルフほんしゃビル Sylph Main Office Building; シルフ カンパニー ほんしゃ Sylph Company Main Office) in Saffron City.

This company is featured in many versions of the Pokémon franchise. They are the manufacturers of many tools, including the Silph Scope—a device that allows the user to view spectral entities—as well as home appliances. They are also speculated to run the Poké Marts in Kanto as well as in Johto and the Sevii Islands.

In the Generation I core series games and their remakes, due to Team Rocket having invaded the Silph Co. headquarters in Saffron City, a Team Rocket Grunt is initially guarding the front door, preventing entrance into the building. After the player has saved Mr. Fuji from Team Rocket at the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town, the guard will have fallen asleep^RBFRLG, disappeared^Y, or is knocked out by Jessie and James^PE, allowing the player to enter the building.

Terminology

Japanese

Names used for Silph Co. in the Japanese games:

• シルフカンパニー (Sylph Company)

  This name is often used in the dialogue by multiple characters in several generations.

  This name is seen in the Pokémon's summary if it was originally met in this building (including the gift Lapras, as well as any Eggs hatched here).

  In Generations III and VII (but not in Pokémon Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver), this name is used when the player is entering the Silph Co.

  In Generation III, the floor number appears when the player enters the floor. Each floor is named as "シルフカンパニー 1F", "シルフカンパニー 2F", etc. The elevator is simply named "シルフカンパニー".

• シルフ (Sylph)

  Sometimes this name is used in character dialogue, such as "おおきく なったら シルフで はたらくと いいよ" ("Come work for Silph when you get older!")

  This name is used in "シルフスコープ", the Japanese name of Silph Scope.

  This name is used in the Trainer class "シルフのチーフ" (Sylph's Chief), that is found in the Generation I game data but is not seen in-game. This Trainer class was translated as simply "Chief" in English.

• シルフ カンパニー ほんしゃ ビル (Sylph Company Main Office Building)

  This name is displayed on the sign at the side of the Silph Co. building, from Generation I to IV.

• シルフカンパニー 本社(ほんしゃ)ビル (Sylph Company Main Office Building)

  In Generation VII, the name is written with kanji on the sign.

• シルフほんしゃビル (Sylph Main Office Building)

  This name is displayed in the Generation I Town Map. This may be a shortened version of "シルフ カンパニー ほんしゃ ビル", which would not fit in the Town Map due to the limit of 9 characters for each place name.

• シルフ カンパニー ほんしゃ (Sylph Company Main Office)

  In Generation III, this name appears with the floor number, on the sign near the stars on each floor. For instance, "シルフ カンパニー ほんしゃ 4かい" (Silph Company Main Office 4th Floor).

Overview

Silph Co. is the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology. This company develops the most commercially used Poké Balls and several other Pokémon-related items, including medicine and Technical Machines, looking for ways to improve them. It supplies the Poké Marts of its territory. Its president is a kind, old man.

In the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Scientist Taylor mentions an international branch of Silph Co. In English, he states that the Tiksi branch of the company is "in Russian no-man's-land". In the Japanese version, he states that the Ponaya Tunguska (Japanese: ポナヤツングスカ) branch is located "deep in Russia". Ponaya Tunguska appears to be a shortened form of the transliterated name of Podkamennaya Tunguska in Japanese (ポドカメンナヤツングースカ). In the English version of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Taylor instead mentions having been sent "off to the boondocks", removing the real-life reference. In Japanese, the reference to "Ponaya Tunguska" is kept but the place is not mentioned to be located in Russia anymore.

History

Silph's status had made it a target of Team Rocket, which, in Generations I, III, and VII 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. Team Rocket had also acquired the Silph Co's Silph Scope to combat ghosts. The company's president reveals 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. Office Building, based in Saffron City, is an eleven-floor skyscraper that is effectively a giant maze.

Generations I, III, and VII

In Generations I, III, and VII, the player can navigate the inside of the building by using warp tiles in order to reach the board room on the top floor. The player must obtain 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 four Rocket Brothers^RBYFRLG/Rocket Sisters^PE and a Juggler, who also appears to be a member of Team Rocket. Several Scientists have also defected to Team Rocket, sometimes pretending to be hostages, and will battle the player on sight. The bed at the bottom-left corner of the ninth floor can be used to heal the Trainer's Pokémon without having to leave the building.

On the seventh floor, the player can receive a Lapras as a gift from a Silph employee. In the Generation I games, this was the only way to obtain a Lapras. Upon reaching the president's room on the top floor, the player must defeat Giovanni to stop him from stealing the Master Ball. After he is defeated, Team Rocket abandons their plans for Silph and withdraws from the building.

In Generations I and III, Blue will challenge the player to a battle on the seventh floor, while in Generation VII, he challenges both the player and Trace to a battle on the first floor. In Generation VII, Trace stays behind on the seventh floor to stall Archer and give the player time to reach Giovanni.

On the second floor, a woman hiding from Team Rocket will give away a TM for Self-Destruct in Generation I and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, she will instead offer to teach the move Thunder Wave to one of the player's Pokémon.

Generations II and IV

A Silph Co. Pokégear, bearing the company's logo

In Generations II and IV, 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. However, upon defeating Red, the player can meet the Hoenn League Champion Steven Stone here and receive one of the Hoenn region's starter Pokémon from him. He will also trade his Beldum for a Forretress after being interacted with at the Pewter Museum of Science.

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 a past connection to the company.

Discoveries and inventions

Within the company, there are three reports of discoveries that serve as in-game trivia for the player, labeled Pokémon Report (Japanese: ポケモン レポート).

In the Generation I games, one report says that only four Pokémon evolve when traded, referring to Kadabra, Graveler, Machoke, and Haunter. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, it instead says that some Pokémon evolve when traded.

Another report confirms that Pokémon can learn over 160 techniques in the Generation I games, while in FireRed and LeafGreen it's over 350 techniques.

A third report informs the player that Porygon, the first virtual-reality Pokémon, was created by the Pokémon Lab in Cinnabar Island.

Silph Co. in Super Smash Bros.

Main article: Saffron City (stage)

Silph Co. appears in Saffron City as a playable stage in Super Smash Bros. (called Silf in the Japanese version). 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 Flying-type Pokémon will appear in the background.

Pokémon Quest

In Pokémon Quest, the MoBee IV drone was manufactured by Silph Co.

In the anime

Artwork from the Game Freak website

Main series

According to artwork from the Game Freak website, the P1 Grand Prix is sponsored by Silph Co. and held in the Celadon City Hall.

Silph Co. in Pokémon Origins

Pokémon Origins

Silph Co. appeared in File 3: Giovanni. Like in the games, it was taken over by Team Rocket. Hearing from Silph Co.'s vice-president of how Team Rocket was experimenting on Pokémon in order to accelerate the completion of Master Ball, Red decided to storm the building. Doing so, he freed all the Pokémon and Scientists that were trapped inside, even obtaining a Lapras from one of the Scientists as a thank-you gift. Finally he arrived at the president's office, where he encountered Giovanni. Before Giovanni could escape, Red proclaimed that he would always be out there to stop their plans, irritating the Team Rocket Boss. Wanting to teach Red a lesson, Giovanni challenged Red to a Pokémon battle, which ended with Giovanni's Nidoqueen defeating Red's Charizard and wrecking a big portion of the building in the process. Afterwards, Giovanni escaped with a helicopter, leaving before the police could arrive. It was also mentioned that the development of Master Ball was put on hold for a while due to this incident.

Pokémon Generations

A photograph of Silph Co. appeared in The Chase, where an International Police agent informed Looker about Team Rocket's failed attempt to take over the building while giving him a report about their attempt to locate Giovanni.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Silph Co. in Pokémon Adventures

Instead of an office building, the Silph Co. in Pokémon Adventures appears to be more like a typical villain base, having multiple traps and specifically designed rooms set up in case of intruders.

Red, Green & Blue arc

Silph Co. first appeared Holy Moltres, where Team Rocket was shown keeping their base inside the building and having managed to capture the three Legendary birds. Later it was revealed that Team Rocket was keeping the kidnapped people of Pallet Town at the building, prompting Red and Blue to break into the Team Rocket-infested Saffron City and storm the Silph Co. building. Green also entered the building, although with much more selfish motives.

Inside the Silph Co. building, Red, Blue, and Green were confronted by Team Rocket's commanders: the evil Gym Leaders Lt. Surge, Koga, and Sabrina. During the conflict, the Legendary birds were accidentally fused together by Green's use of the "Badge Energy Amplifier", a device that increases the energy produced by Gym Badges. With their combined efforts, the three Pallet Town Trainers managed to defeat the fusion Pokémon and de-fuse it, allowing the Legendary birds to escape. The building collapsed in the ensuing chaos, bringing Team Rocket's plans to an end.

Yellow arc

Two years later in Ponyta Tale, Agatha was seen picking up the Badge Energy Amplifier from the Silph Co. ruins for usage at Cerise Island.

Silph Co. in Pokémon Pocket Monsters

Silph Co. in Pokémon Zensho

Pokémon Pocket Monsters

Silph Co. appeared in Finish Off Team Rocket!!, where it was invaded by Team Rocket. Erika's father is the president of Silph Co.

Pokémon Zensho

Silph Co. was seen in Saffron City. After hearing from the Dojo Master that the Gym Leader Sabrina's talking Psychic Lapras had been stolen by Team Rocket and taken to the Silph Co., Satoshi infiltrated the building, where he soon found Sabrina, who had just found her Lapras. Satoshi and Sabrina decided to team up against Team Rocket, and used Sabrina's teleporting powers to reach the top floor, where Giovanni was keeping Silph Co.'s president hostage. After defeating Giovanni's Nidoqueen with Lapras, Satoshi obtained the Master Ball from Silph Co.'s president and the Marsh Badge from Sabrina as a thanks for his help.

Trivia

• Although a logo for the company was not introduced in-game until Generation IV, several possible logos have been seen in previous games. One appeared in early artwork of the Silph Scope on the front of the device, another appeared on the side of the Silph Co. building in Super Smash Bros., and a third appeared on the original Pokégear artwork as a stylized "S".
• In Generation I games, if the player uses the Town Map inside Silph Co., the current place shown by default depends on where the player is:
  • "Saffron City" if the player is on the first floor (except the elevator).
  • "Silph Co." if the player is on any floor other than the first, or in the elevator.
• In Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, the elevator on 11F has a bug that causes the player to be layered on its doors upon leaving it. Another quirk occurs as result, which disables the elevator mat's left tile if the player enters the elevator without being on the doors and does not move from that tile afterwards, thus preventing them from exiting without specifically using the mat's right tile. Both these issues were fixed in Pokémon Yellow.
• In the internal data of Generation II games, Silph Co. is found in the list of place names, but this is not referenced in normal gameplay. When the player is inside Silph Co., the Pokégear map displays the current location as Saffron City. In Pokémon Crystal, if an Egg hatches inside Silph Co., the Pokémon caught data is also recorded as Saffron City (in Pokémon Gold and Silver, caught data is not recorded for any Pokémon).
• In the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Maizie mentions that her father works for Silph. Scientist Ross, who can be battled at the Team Rocket HQ, also claims that he used to work for Silph.
• In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! only, after Giovanni has been defeated here, the Silph Co. theme is replaced with the Saffron City theme.
• Silph Co. is the only place where the player battles Blue in Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen, but not Trace in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. Instead, the player joins Trace in a Multi Battle.
• The company logo introduced in Generation IV can be seen on the Normal Uniform in Pokémon Sword and Shield as that type's sponsor. However, the logo does not appear in Poké Jobs or in the list of companies in the credits.

Name origin

Silph Co.'s name is a corruption of sylph, a mythological creature.

In Japanese, the company is named シルフ shirufu, which is Japanese for "sylph". However, it has been officially romanized as "Silph", "Silf", and "Sylph".
