Veilstone City
Veilstone City (Japanese: トバリシティ Tobari City) is a city in the region of Sinnoh. It houses the headquarters for Team Galactic and is the hometown of Paul. This city is also home to the Sinnoh region's department store, Veilstone Department Store, much like Celadon City in Kanto, Goldenrod City in Johto, and Lilycove City in Hoenn.
Veilstone is carved out of steep and rocky mountains, giving the city rock walls that project a cold atmosphere. It is fairly isolated and has little contact with other cities. Team Galactic also constructs the Galactic Warehouse and their headquarters, the Galactic Veilstone Building there. The Veilstone Game Corner also has slot machines that people can play to try to win coins to buy TMs. Veilstone is famous for its stone, including its meteorites, which can change Deoxys between its many forms.
As the player leaves the Gym, Dawn/Lucas will be waiting outside and will tell the player that Team Galactic stole her/his Pokédex. The player has to team up with her/him to defeat two Team Galactic grunts.
The population of Veilstone City is 54 people, putting it only one person behind Hearthome City.
