This booming metropolis was designed and developed by our very own Chairman Rose. (Japanese: ローズ委員長に よって 計画的に 造られた 大都市A metropolis that was planned by Chairman Rose.)
Wyndon Stadium is the biggest stadium in Galar and serves as the Pokémon League HQ. The Trainers who have earned eight Badges participate in the Champion Cup here to decide who gets the right to challenge the current Champion for their title.

The Rose of the Rondelands is a five-star hotel located on the western side of the city.
It is an elegant Gothic and Victorian building, which, from the outside, exposes a V-shaped building and several small windows, brick chimneys, and blue roofs. In the main building, there are two cupolas and a clock tower.
The interior of the building is made up of a single floor, where an elegant hall with several columns with golden details, two waiting rooms with fine furniture and several floral arrangements is shown. The elevators show a golden Art Deco design.
Above the main building of the hotel, stands a huge clock tower, which exposes a stellar clock with several rings and bright stars that rotate counterclockwise. This clock is visible in various parts of the city.
The hotel is named after Roselia, which is present in a mosaic of the main hall.
The Rose Tower is Rose's office building that houses all the subsidiary companies working under Macro Cosmos. During the post-game, Leon takes over Rose Tower and turns it into Galar's Battle Tower.
Wyndon Station
Wyndon Station is located in the south of the city.
The player can catch a train from this station to the following locations:
Wyndon has a population of 157. This makes it the largest city in the Galar region and the third most populous overall, trailing Lumiose and Mesagoza and preceding Nimbasa.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Wyndon first appeared in Settling the Scorbunny!, when Ash and Goh arrived in the Galar region. Whilst waiting around for the next train to the Wild Area, they encountered a Scorbunny and a trio of Nickit, who stole Ash's backpack. The Nickit later carried Scorbunny to the train Ash and Goh took, urging it to follow them.
In the next episode, Ash and Goh battled Drednaw, but due to its giant size, their attacks didn't have any effect on it. Pikachu was then exposed to Dynamax energy leaking out of the ground, causing him to Gigantamax as well. Using Leon's advice, Ash was able to defeat Drednaw. The next day, Leon agreed to battle Ash at the stadium, giving him a Dynamax Band of his own. Although Ash's Gigantamax Pikachu was able to inflict some damage onto Leon's Charizard, he was still defeated. After the battle, Leon and Ash agreed to face each other again at the stadium once Ash became stronger.
In Toughing It Out!, Ash and Goh traveled to Galar again to watch Leon's World Coronation Series battle against Raihan. After Leon successfully defended his Monarch title, Ash and Goh met Sonia, who told them about the Darkest Day. Later, Ash and Goh heard of a strong Pokémon, which turned out to be a GalarianFarfetch'd. Goh tried to catch it but was unsuccessful. Following this, Ash started to battle Farfetch'd with his Riolu, eventually emerging victorious. After Farfetch'd was healed at the Pokémon Center, Ash asked it if it wanted to join his team, and it agreed.
In the following episode, Ash and Goh encountered a Sobble, which Goh caught on accident. He soon sent it out to battle a Silicobra that he wanted to catch, but Sobble became too frightened in the middle of the battle and ran away. Ash and Goh ended up chasing after Sobble to the outskirts of Wyndon, where they ended up having to save it from Team Rocket, with Goh earning Sobble's trust in the process.
In Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!, Chairman Rose invited Ash to dine with him at Rose Tower. As they ate, Rose told Ash about his vision of Galar's future and offered to support Ash's career as a Trainer. Ash, however, declined the offer, wanting to forge his own path. After spending a night at the Tower, Ash left it the next day to meet up with Goh.
In The Spectral Express!, Ash and Goh arrived at Wyndon by train on their way to Stow-on-Side. They accidentally ran into Allister and followed him to a mysterious underground platform while trying to return a ticket he dropped, and boarded a ghost train bound for Stow-on-Side.
In Battling Turned Up to Eleven!, Ash was designated to have a World Coronation Series match with Marnie at Wyndon Stadium. Although Team Yell initially fooled Ash into going to Spikemuth instead, Piers managed to take him to the stadium in time. While the battle between Ash's Gengar and Marnie's Grimmsnarl eventually ended in Ash's victory, Marnie's battle skills still impressed the audience and thus provided help in revitalizing her dilapidated hometown.
In Meeting Up with the Monarch!, following Ash's battle with Marnie, he and Goh planned to go looking for Pokémon in the Wild Area together, but due to Ash oversleeping, Goh headed for the Motostoke Riverbank without him. After waking up, Ash intended to follow after him, but when he heard that Leon was having a battle at Wyndon Stadium, he couldn't resist going to watch it instead. After witnessing Leon's victory over Flint, Ash met up with Leon and was invited to join him for some training, which he happily agreed to. In the evening, Ash and Leon returned to Wyndon and reunited with Goh and Sonia.
In Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!, Ash and Goh traveled to Wyndon again for the Masters Eight Tournament, meeting Hop soon after arriving. After Ash had made it to the finals, along with Leon, Ash and Goh briefly reunited with the Nickit trio in Just a Scone's Throw From Here!, before Goh received a summons from Project Mew, forcing him to leave before he could see the finals. The tournament concluded in Partners in Time! with Ash as the victor, making him the new Monarch.
Wyndon first appeared in Letter. At the end of the episode, Oleana's office was shown in Rose Tower.
The city and Oleana's office reappeared at the beginning of Training.
The main part of the city, along with Wyndon Station and the Rose of the Rondelands, appeared at the end of Early-Evening Waves. The Battle Café appeared in the middle of the episode.
In Assistant, it was revealed that Oleana had to deal with the planning of the city, mainly within Rose Tower itself, in addition to reviewing the league records and the construction of buildings.
Wyndon reappeared more prominently in Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day. Upon learning of Chairman Rose's plan to bring about the Darkest Day, most of the Galar Gym Leaders, Henry, Casey, Hop, Marnie, and Bede traveled to Wyndon to learn if what they had heard was true. They first went to Rose Tower, where they were confronted by Oleana, who told them that Rose wasn't there. The Gym Leaders battled Oleana while the others headed to the top floor via elevator, only to find out that Rose indeed wasn't there, although he did contact them through a screen from the Hammerlocke StadiumEnergy Plant. Due to the unforeseen turn of events, he announced that he would start the Darkest Day immediately, instead of waiting for the Champion Cup to begin before doing so, like he had originally planned. As a result, Power Spots across Galar began to react and numerous Pokémon started to Dynamax involuntarily across the region, prompting Henry, Casey, the rivals, and some of the Gym Leaders to head to Hammerlocke to stop Rose, while the remaining Gym Leaders scattered out to help deal with the crisis.
While the Darkest Day was active, Macro Cosmos observed the event from Rose Tower. In PASS30, following the disappearance of Eternatus, Henry, the Rusted Sword, and the Rusted Shield, Casey was given permission to use Macro Cosmos's supercomputer at Rose Tower to figure out where the artifacts had wound up at. She quickly tracked them down to the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra, though she couldn't tell which of them was in which location, or which of them Henry had wound up at.
In PASS40, Macro Cosmos resumed observing the Darkest Day as the cataclysm started again, indicating that Eternatus had reappeared somewhere, which was later revealed to be Hammerlocke.
In PASS43, several months after Eternatus had been stopped, the interrupted Gym Challenge continued with the Champion Cup semi-finals in Wyndon. With Henry having withdrawn from the Gym Challenge, the two Trainers who competed for the right to challenge Leon were Hop and Marnie. Their match ended at the end of the chapter, but the winner was not revealed.
