Pewter Museum of Science
- Main article: Pewter Museum of Science
The museum in HeartGold and SoulSilver
A famous museum is located in the northwestern part of Pewter City and is one of the city's main attractions. The main building is open to the public for $50 and features several historical artifacts, including Aerodactyl and Kabutops Fossils, and a model of a space shuttle.
There are two floors to explore in the Pewter Museum of Science. The first floor holds the front desk and a Fossil exhibit containing the Fossils of Aerodactyl and Kabutops. The second floor hosts a space exhibit featuring a Space Shuttle and a large Moon Stone that fell onto Mt. Moon The player is able to explore the museum at any time, after paying the $50 admission fee.
Once the ability to use Cut out of battle is gained, the player can sneak into the back of the museum and acquire the Old Amber from a scientist there, allowing the player to revive an Aerodactyl later in the game. In FireRed and LeafGreen, there is also a Move Tutor who will teach Seismic Toss.
The museum is closed for renovations during Generation II. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, however, the museum is open for business. There is a scientist in the museum who will revive a player's Fossils, much like the scientist at Cinnabar Island's Pokémon Lab in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen. This is due to the fact that Fossils can be found under rocks using Rock Smash unlike in Generation II where players were required to transfer Fossil Pokémon from the Generation I games using the Time Capsule.
Pewter Gym
- Main article: Pewter Gym
The Pewter Gym is the official Gym of Pewter City. It is based on Rock-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Brock. Trainers that defeat him receive the Boulder Badge.
Other known members include Camper Jerry, Camper Liam, Brock's father, Flint, and Brock's mother, Lola.
Pewter Gym appears in all games set in the Kanto region, appearing much the same in each: a small building with a Japanese rock garden inside, one Trainer, and the Gym Leader Brock waiting on a large stone pedestal. In the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, whenever the player tries to leave Pewter City, a boy will lead him or her to the front of the Gym if the player has not earned their Boulder Badge yet.

Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow
In Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, the population of Pewter City is 28.
Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal
In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the population of Pewter City is 18. This decrease is due in part to the closing of the Pewter Museum of Science.
Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the population of Pewter City is 33.
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the population is 30. Its decline in population could be due to the Pewter Museum of Science's missing second floor, which was present in FireRed and LeafGreen.

Trainer Tips
TRAINER TIPS
All POKéMON that appear in battle,
however briefly, earn EXP Points.
In the spin-off games
In Pokémon Pinball
In Pokémon Pinball, Pewter City appears on the Red table. Catchable Pokémon include Pidgey, Spearow, Ekans, Jigglypuff, and Magikarp.
In the anime
In the main series
Episodes in Pewter City commonly focus on the Pewter Gym. While its legacy is of a strong Gym "as rough and tough as the stones themselves" was kept under Brock, his mother has recently added a brighter color scheme. The Gym Leader's family lives in a house by behind the Gym, in which Brock, his nine siblings, and parents currently reside.
Around the outskirts of the city, there is a Contest Hall and one of the locations of the Battle Pyramid. Pewter City is also the hometown of Solidad, the winner of the Kanto Grand Festival and Pete Pebbleman, a Trainer who was defeated by Ash Ketchum during the Indigo Plateau Conference.
In Pokémon Origins
Pewter City in Pokémon Origins
Pewter City made an appearance in the Pokémon Origins episode File 1 - Red. While visiting the Museum of Science, Red overheard two girls talking about Brock, the local Gym Leader. When he went to the Gym, he found out that Brock was the same man whom he had encountered earlier, just after he had losing a battle against Blue. Red then started a Gym battle with Brock, during which the Rock-type Gym Leader gave the beginner Trainer basic advices of strategy, such as those involving type effectiveness. During the battle, Red came to realize that he and his Pokémon were in the battle together, making them his partners. Eventually, Red was able to defeat Brock, earning the Boulder Badge and TM34 (Bide). Afterwards, the young Trainer departed Pewter City, doubly determined to fulfill his quest of completing the Pokédex.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Pewter City is first visited in Wanted: Pikachu! and Onix is On! in the Red, Green & Blue arc. The citizens are business people that have tents in the streets where they sell principally fruits and vegetables which a roaming Pikachu tried to steal. After Red caught it, the citizens of the city gave Red a big feast. They also enjoy watching the battles of the Trainers who challenge the Pewter Gym. The city has a Pokémon Center, but during this time, it is closed due to vandalism, later revealed to be caused by the "bad" Gym Leaders in an effort to make Brock give up his Gym Badge for their plans.
Pewter City later made a brief appearance in Make Way For Magmar when the Pewter Museum of Science had been set on fire by two Magmar.
Trivia
- Goldenrod City and Rustboro City are very similar to Pewter City. Their geographic locations in their respective regions are remarkably similar, as well as being only accessible through a forest early in the game. Rustboro is, however, the most like Pewter in that both cities are the second city visited with a Gym, but first to be beat by the player. Both Pewter and Rustboro's Gyms specialize in Rock-type Pokémon, and play a role in the player obtaining Fossil Pokémon.
- If the player enters "Mystery Event Is Exciting" to the girl asking for the player's profile in the Pokémon Center, she will mention that her cousin used to say that a lot, referring to the man in the Pokémon Center of Petalburg City who asks for the player's profile in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
- In Pokémon Yellow, if the player tries to deposit the starter Pikachu in the Pokémon Storage System while it is asleep from Jigglypuff's song, the game will not allow this, yielding the message "There isn't any response..." (Japanese: あれ? いない⋯ Eh? There's no one...)
