Cortondo (Japanese: セルクルタウンCercle Town) is a town in the Paldearegion, located in South Province (Area Two). Olives are the town's biggest export, and as such, it is also home to the Olive Harvest Festival, in which one of the activities involves rolling giant olive-shaped balls into a goal; this is believed to bring in great harvests.
Because of the Gym's specialized type, the people of this town tend to walk around accompanied by Bug-type Pokémon.
An NPC named Glen is located in the center of town along the main road. By talking to him, the player is given the option to make an in-game trade. Glen asks for a Flabébé, and will trade a Snomnicknamed Snowsalot in exchange.

Cortondo appeared in PASV06. After arriving there, Nemona learned that Scarlet had chosen to challenge the local Gym, much to her delight. After clearing the Olive Roll, Scarlet battled against Katy and won, though she declined the Gym Badge, so Katy offered her some of her pastries instead. Afterwards, Scarlet revealed that she was searching for the treasures of ruin.
Two Vivillon with the Tundra and Continental patterns can be seen flying over the pool immediately east of Patisserie Soapberry. This is despite the fact that all Spewpa in Paldea will evolve into Vivillon's Fancy Pattern, unless the pattern is changed by sending a Postcard from Pokémon GO (only possible for Version 1.2.0. of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet onwards).
The tile patterns in the pools are identical to the water tiles from the Generation I map.
