Location
Location of Slateport City in Hoenn.
|
Slateport City (Japanese: カイナシティ Kaina City) is a port town on the southern coast of Hoenn. It is the ninth largest city in the Pokémon world.
Slateport was created because the clean water made the food abundant in the area, so a local market started to grow. The city then soon became a harbor where ships and boats come and go. There is a lighthouse near the south of Slateport that illuminates the sea for passing ships. It is a great shopping destination with a local Slateport Market. Captain Stern is a big name in Slateport. He is an undersea explorer who runs Stern's Shipyard, the local Oceanic Museum and also works on the S.S. Tidal which runs in and out of Slateport City after its completion.
The city has three major entrances, one from the north of Slateport City, Route 110, which has a bicycle route as well as a path to Mauville City, one directly south of the city leading to the beach of Route 109, and one east of the city that is the ocean path of Route 134, where the water's currents are too strong to Surf east.
Slogan
The port where people and Pokémon cross paths with nature. (Japanese: ヒトと ポケモンが いきかう みなと The port where people and Pokémon cross paths with nature.)
Places of interest
Slateport Market
"Unique items found nowhere else!"
The Slateport Market (Japanese: カイナ市場 Kaina Market) is an open-air bazaar featuring items that cannot be easily found anywhere else. The Slateport Market has been in business since the creation of Slateport City itself as the clean water made the food abundant in the area, so a local market started to grow. The Slateport Market is situated next to the ocean, so the scent of the salty sea seeps through the air. There is a place to buy Secret Base decorations, vitamins, IncensesORAS, and fresh seaweed there.
Shops
Doll shop
There is a shopkeeper in the bottom-left corner that sells Pokémon dolls.
TM shop
There is another shopkeeper in the middle-rightRSE/top-rightORAS side that sells TMs. In Generation III, this shopkeeper only appears after the player obtains TM43 (Secret Power) on Route 111.
Incense shop
In Generation VI, there is a shopkeeper that sells Incenses in the middle-right side.
Energy Guru
The Energy Guru will occasionally hold a sale where he sells everything at half price. In Generation III, after entering the Hall of Fame, the sale occurs at random, and is announced on Hoenn TV's Pokémon News. In Generation VI, the sale occurs every Monday.

Berry Powder woman
In Pokémon Emerald, there is a woman in the northern part of the market who concocts a variety of medicines from Berry Powder and will exchange Berry Powder for herbal medicine and vitamins. When she is first visited, he gives the player the Powder Jar, and will ask the player to make some Berry Powder from the new machine that crushes Berries in the Pokémon Center upstairs. There is also a sign next to her that keeps a record of pressing-speed ranking the player achieves.
Oceanic Museum
- Main article: Oceanic Museum
The Oceanic Museum is a large two-floored museum located in the eastern district of Slateport. The museum was built by Captain Stern to teach others of the ocean and the ocean floor. There is a $50 entrance fee which must be paid upon entry. The first floor contains information about the sea. There are seven exhibits, each with a different piece of information about the sea. On the western wing, there are experiments and displays involving Whirlpools, Waterfalls, buoyancy, and fossilization. While, on the eastern wing, there are displays and samples of ancient beach sand, and old sedimentary rocks, as well as fun facts about the sea. On the second floor, there are nine more exhibits, which include models of the Hoenn region and the ship S.S. Anne. The museum can be entered free of charge before Team Magma or Team Aqua leave, as the reception believes that the player is part of their group. However, this only works if the player lacks the money needed for the $50 fee.
Pokémon Fan Club
- Main article: Pokémon Fan Club
Slateport is the home to the headquarters for the Hoenn branch of the Pokémon Fan Club. The Fan Club is a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon and Pokémon Contests than Pokémon battles. The people in the Fan Club adore their Pokémon and give friendly advice. One of the women in the Fan Club will give away a Soothe Bell if the player's Pokémon has a high friendship. In Emerald, people show off their Pokémon in Contests because the Contest Hall in Lilycove City is too far to travel. Gabby and Ty often visit the Club House in Hoenn to do interviews with enthusiastic Trainers.
Trainers of the Poké Fan Trainer class are members of the Pokémon Fan Club. The Hoenn Pokémon Fan Club Chairman sits in the center of the club house. He claims to have raised over 100 different Pokémon in his lifetime. He travels across the nation on his Fearow.
In Pokémon Emerald, there is a Move Tutor here who will teach a compatible Pokémon Swagger one time only. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a Pokémon Breeder here can trim Furfrou for $500.
Stern's Shipyard
- Main article: Stern's Shipyard
Stern's Shipyard is a building owned by Captain Stern. Stern's Shipyard is a large brown building located next to the ocean. In front of the building are two houses, and around the building are three small wooden boats. It is located in the eastern part of Slateport City, and is where the S.S. Tidal was constructed. The Shipyard also takes old boats and sinks them, to make habitats for the Pokémon who live around the city and its neighboring beaches.
Slateport Harbor
The Harbor is located at the northeast of Slateport. This is where Captain Stern can be found most of the time, trading the Scanner for a DeepSeaScale or DeepSeaToothRSE, a Clear BellOR, or a Tidal BellAS. After the player visits the summit of Mt. Pyre for the first time (and, in Emerald, also clears the Magma Hideout), Captain Stern is seen being interviewed outside the Harbor. Submarine Explorer 1 is then stolen by Team AquaSEAS/Team MagmaROR. After entering the Hall of Fame, Captain Stern is here, asking the player to go on a cruise on the S.S. Tidal.
Vending Machine
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is a Vending Machine at the back of the harbor building.
Name Rater
- Main article: Name Rater
The Name Rater of Hoenn lives in northern district of Slateport City. As always, he allows Trainers to change the nickname of any Pokémon they captured or received in-game. Those traded from outside sources will not be able to be renamed. If the Pokémon was caught by the player that currently owns it, he'll say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it. If the Pokémon he is judging was obtained via a trade, he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. However, if both players have identical Trainer IDs and secret IDs, he will allow name changes.
Contest Hall
- Main article: Contest Hall
The Hyper Rank Pokémon Contest is located in Slateport. Only Pokémon who have beaten the Super Rank can perform here. It is replaced by the Battle Tent in Emerald. Contest entries of all ranks are unrestricted in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Battle Tent
- Main article: Battle Tent
The Battle Tent can only be found in Pokémon Emerald. It is one of the three Battle Tents found in Emerald. Entrants pick out three Pokémon from a list of 6 random rentals, all at level 30. Then, three Trainers battle, having a chance after each battle to possibly trade a Pokémon for one from the person that was just defeated.
Demographics
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the population of Slateport City is 76, making it the second largest city in Hoenn, behind Lilycove City. Slateport City's high population can be attributed to a number of factors, such as its market, beach, and shipyard.
Pokémon Emerald
In Pokémon Emerald, the population of Slateport City is 60, making it the third largest city in Hoenn after the cities of Lilycove and Rustboro.
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Slateport City has a total population of 79, making it the third largest city in Hoenn after the cities of Mauville and Lilycove.

Appearance
In the anime
Slateport City in the anime
In the anime, Slateport City is a large city on a cliff overlooking the ocean. It is also the hometown of Harley, a Pokémon Coordinator and one of May's rivals. Ash and his friends arrived there in Now That's Flower Power!, where May met Drew while practicing for the Slateport City Pokémon Contest with her Beautifly at the beach. May also encountered a former Coordinator named Mr. Big, who gave her a Pokéblock Case.
In Having a Wailord of a Time, it was revealed that Slateport City's Nurse Joy, in addition to being responsible for the health and well-being of Pokémon at the Pokémon Center, gives new Trainers their first partner Pokémon. Joy explained that Littleroot Town's location may be difficult for some Trainers to reach, and Slateport City offers a convenient alternative. New Trainers have the choice of Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip. However, Ash's Corphish inadvertently caused Nurse Joy's Torchic to evolve into Combusken, forcing it to stay behind at the Pokémon Center. Meanwhile, Mudkip and Treecko were given out to Stephanie and her father, respectively, the latter being assured that it is never too late to become a Trainer.
Slateport Contest quarterfinalists
The Slateport Contest took place in Win, Lose or Drew!. While May, who was participating in a Contest for the first time, had a shaky start out of nervousness, the judges felt her performance in the Appeals Round was impressive enough, and she was among the eight Coordinators moving on to the Contest Battles, along with Drew and Robert. In the Battle Round, May faced against Drew, whose Roselia defeated her Beautifly, knocking May out of the Contest. In his second battle, Drew was defeated by Robert and his Milotic, who went on to win the Contest and earn the Slateport Ribbon.
In The Spheal of Approval, Ash and Max visited the Oceanic Museum and met Captain Stern, but they were caught in an attack by Team Magma. The thief got away with only half of the volcanic stone, while Captain Stern was able to recover the other half to continue his research.
After learning that the Hoenn Grand Festival would be held in Slateport City, May and her friends traveled there aboard the S.S. St. Flower in The Ribbon Cup Caper. The event took place from Hi Ho Silver Wind! to Rhapsody in Drew. May, Drew, Harley, Robert, and Anthony were ultimately among the 247 Coordinators who qualified for the competition. During the competition, May was able to defeat Harley and Anthony, but lost to Drew in the quarterfinal round. In the end, Robert emerged victorious by defeating Drew in the finals, earning the Ribbon Cup and becoming a Top Coordinator.
In The Cuteness Quotient!, Ash, Goh, Chloe, and Jinny visited Slateport City so that Jinny could compete in the Friendship Festival with her Feebas. While in Slateport, Goh caught a Wingull. The competition was interrupted by an attack from Team Rocket, but they were defeated by Jinny's newly evolved Milotic.
In Looking Out for Number Two!, Ash and Goh visited Slateport City again for Goh's Project Mew Trial Mission, which involved him finding and catching a wild Kingdra. While searching for it off Slateport's coast, they encountered Drake, who let them use his diving equipment in exchange for helping him in his treasure hunt.
In A Flood of Torrential Gains!, Goh arrived in Slateport City following a summons from Project Mew and met up with the other members of the research team, including Gary and Horace, before departing with them to Faraway Island. Once the expedition to the island had concluded, the research team returned to Slateport in In the Palms of our Hands! before splitting up.
In Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!, Orla was revealed to have previously worked as a mechanic in Slateport City. Friede had come to her with the request of making Ludlow's boat fly. Accepting this job, Orla had converted the boat into an airship that Friede would go on to name the Brave Olivine. She had subsequently joined Friede and Ludlow to form the Rising Volt Tacklers in order to keep working on the airship she had built.

Pokémon Adventures
In Tripped Up by Torkoal, Ruby and Sapphire arrived at Slateport on Sapphire's Wailord, nicknamed Lorry. After splitting up from Sapphire, Ruby met the region's Pokémon Fan Club Chairman, who led Ruby to the city's Contest Hall. There, Ruby learned that he had to apply for a new Contest Pass in Verdanturf Town. After witnessing Team Magma attacking Stern's Shipyard, Ruby ended up escaping them into Submarine Explorer 1, which subsequently dived on autopilot, with him and Magma Admin Blaise on board.
After Team Magma and Team Aqua had awakened Groudon and Kyogre at Seafloor Cavern, Slateport City was struck by a tsunami. In Always Keep Whiscash on You for Emergencies, Ruby returned to the flooded city to compete in the Hyper Rank Pokémon Contests, despite being the only competitor. However, he failed to obtain the Hyper Rank Beauty Ribbon due to his Feebas, Feefee, being outperformed by a mystery competitor. Angered by this, Ruby vented his frustration out on Feefee, who swam away and appeared to get trapped by the collapsing Contest Hall. After being taken to a nearby hospital unconscious, Ruby decided to help the Hoenn Gym Leaders and Sapphire deal with the crisis.
In Bravo, Vibrava, Swimmer Jack rescued a blind boy from the otherwise completely evacuated Slateport City. Steven Stone had entrusted the boy with a stone tablet that contained text written in Braille and held the key to awakening the legendary giants. In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV, Phoebe saved the blind boy from the flooded city and retrieved the stone tablet after the boy had failed to read its damaged part.
In It All Ends Now VIII, the destroyed Slateport Contest Hall was revealed to have been rebuilt as a Battle Tent, though it still maintained the function of hosting Pokémon Contests.
In Metagross Investigates, Sapphire learned from Emerald that while the two were out training in Dewford, Ruby was at Slateport hosting a Contest Spectacular with Lisia. After being interviewed by Gabby, Ruby departed to Southern Island to meet up with Latios and Latias.
In Salamence Evolves, Lisia discussed about Ruby at the reconstructed Slateport City Contest Spectacular Hall with Chaz, introducing him to the concepts of Cosplay Pikachu and Contest Costumes that Ruby had invented.
In Omega Alpha Adventure 21, Ruby and Sapphire performed together in a Contest Spectacular at the Slateport City Contest Spectacular Hall.
