Location
Location of Ever Grande City in Hoenn.
|
Ever Grande City (Japanese: サイユウシティ Saiyu City[1]) is a city located on an island in eastern Hoenn. It is the location of the Hoenn Pokémon League.
The island is bisected by Hoenn's Victory Road, which runs through a large mountain at the center of the island. There are two Pokémon Centers on the island: one south of Victory Road, and one inside the Pokémon League building which is north of Victory Road. Either can be reached by using Fly or by soaring.
With its steep cliffs, it is impossible to reach the city itself without possessing a Pokémon able to scale the high waterfall south of the city. High above the ocean, its slopes are lush with grass and flowers.
Slogan
The paradise of flowers, the sea, and Pokémon. (Japanese: はなと うみと ポケモンの らくえん The paradise of flowers, the sea, and Pokémon.)
Places of interest
Victory Road
- Main article: Victory Road (Hoenn)
Victory Road is a dark, complex cave that passes through the middle of Ever Grande City, separating it into two sections. Due to the difficulty of traversing Victory Road, only the toughest Trainers will reach the northern end of the tunnel, and thus the Pokémon League and Elite Four. The player requires many HM moves to pass though Victory Road, and near the exitRSORAS/entranceE, they must also battle Wally.
Pokémon League
- Main article: Pokémon League (Hoenn)
The Hoenn Pokémon League is a large building located in the north of Ever Grande City. It is a large Pokémon Center and Poké Mart, combined with a gateway to the Elite Four which can only entered if the player has all eight Badges.
Demographics
In the games, its population is uncertain; it is difficult to differentiate between the Trainers passing through the city to challenge the Elite Four and normal residents. The only buildings that appear are the League itself and the Pokémon Center; there are no houses.

Ever Grande City in the
animeAsh and his friends arrived in Ever Grande City in Like a Meowth to a Flame and stayed there while Ash competed in the Ever Grande Conference until The Scheme Team. During their visit, they met Ash's new rival Tyson, and also reunited with Ash's slightly older rival Morrison.
In Battling as Hard as Stone!, multiple Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire characters were seen gathering at Ever Grande City to watch Steven's Masters Eight Tournament match against Ash on television.
The site where the Ever Grande Conference takes place is located a short distance from the actual city, where the shops, houses, and harbors are located.

Pokémon Adventures
In the past, Wallace won the Pokémon League tournament in Ever Grande City and entered the Hall of Fame, but refused the position of Champion in order to succeed his mentor Juan as the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City. Another reason for his refusal was because Winona, whom Wallace was in love with, had become a Gym Leader around the same time, and he wished to be closer to her level by also being a Gym Leader instead of a Champion.
The Pokémon League first appeared in Bravo, Vibrava as Steven and the Hoenn Elite Four exited the building to depart to Lilycove City.
Ever Grande City was mentioned in The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIII as the site of the Hoenn Pokémon League tournament. Blind boy and Swimmer Jack discussed about how a new rule had been added that made the Elite Four also a part of the League challenge, which meant that only a Trainer capable of winning the tournament, defeating the Elite Four, and beating the current Champion could enter the Hall of Fame and become a new Champion.
Trivia
- Ever Grande and Wyndon are the only cities to host a Pokémon League in the games.
- Despite being called a city, in the games, Ever Grande contains no buildings other than the Pokémon League and a Pokémon Center.
