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 constructed 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.
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, 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.
In Pokémon Platinum, in one of the northern-most houses, a person will give the player a level 25 Porygon.
The population of Veilstone City is 54 people, putting it only one person behind Hearthome City.
Velistone City has many similarities to Celadon City in Kanto.

Trivia
- Veilstone's Japanese town motto is いしに かこまれた くうかん.
- On the way to Veilstone Gym, the player will run into Professor Rowan's assistant. If the player is playing as Lucas, Dawn will respond that she has been shopping at the department store. Conversely, if the player is playing as Dawn, Lucas will respond that he has been playing at the Game Corner.
- In the Japanese version of Pokémon Platinum, there is an NPC who speaks to the player in English. He is next to the pillar where Rock Climb can be used.
