Location Location of Ever Grande City in Hoenn. |
Ever Grande City (Japanese: サイユウシティ Saiyū City) is located on an island in eastern Hoenn. The island is blanketed in flowers.
Pokémon Trainers come here to battle the Elite Four of Hoenn after earning eight Gym Badges. There are two Pokémon Centers on the island, in the south and in the north. Either can be reached by using Fly.
With its steep cliffs, it is impossible to reach the city itself without possessing a Pokémon able to scale the high waterfall on the southern end of the city. High above the ocean, its slopes are lush with grass and flowers. The island is bisected by Hoenn's Victory Road, which runs through a large mountain at the center of the island.
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 must utilize many HM moves to pass though Victory Road and near the exitRSORAS/entranceE the player must battle Wally.
Pokémon League
Pokémon League lobby
Ruby | Sapphire | Emerald | Omega Ruby | Alpha Sapphire |
---|---|---|---|---|
The Pokémon League building is the last resting spot before the player challenges the Elite Four. 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. The nurse at the left counter will heal the player's Pokémon and the player may purchase items at the right counter. Unlike other Pokémon Centers in the Generation III games, the lobby does not have a second floor in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire; this was corrected in Pokémon Emerald.
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Pokémon League building is a large orange tower. Before each of the Elite Four member's rooms is a short pathway consisting of a metal bridge over a black pit. The pathway between Drake's room and the Champion's room is longer than the others, containing flashing lights in the dark pit and on the far wall.
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Pokémon League building is no longer a modern tower, but instead resembles a traditional Japanese castle. The approach to each room is themed after each individual member of the Elite Four. Each chamber is contained within its own traditionally-styled building raised above the ground, and connected via bridges. While the Delta Episode is in progress, it is not possible to challenge the Elite Four due to Steven's absence.

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Phoebe's room is purple and contains two pits on either side with broken bricks, resembling the kind found in a stereotypical haunted house. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the approach to Phoebe's room features hanging lavender and a pond with spectral water lilies on either side of a long wooden bridge. Eight spirits emerge and possess the lanterns hanging on the building, illuminating them. Inside of Phoebe's chamber, the pits are simply dark voids. A purple armchair rests against the back wall of the room.

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Glacia's room is ice blue and contains two pits on either side with ice bricks underneath. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the approach to Glacia's room is a snowy bridge over a frosty void. Snow blankets the roof of the building, while icicles hang from its edges. When the player approaches, a blizzard briefly passes through the area and the bridge becomes covered with non-slippery ice. The pits inside the room are filled with frozen water and a blue armchair rests against the back wall.

Two flames rise over the bridge and enter a stone dragon head statue, causing its nostrils to flare. The building containing Drake's room is notably different from the others, appearing as a stone and canvas structure. The pits inside the chamber are filled with lava and a purple armchair rests against the back wall.

Hall of Fame
- Main article: Hall of Fame
After defeating the Champion, the player will be led to the Hall of Fame. In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, it is a large room with a blue reflective floor, whereas in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the room is instead colored with shades of brown. At the back of the room is a machine used for recording a Trainer's victory at the Pokémon League and, in Generation III only, several screens used in the recording process.
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 Centers; there are no houses.

Origin
The design of the Pokémon League building in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire appears to be based on Shuri Castle in Okinawa.
Trivia
- This is the only city to host a Pokémon League in the games. However, besides the league itself and a Pokémon Center, there are no other buildings in Ever Grande City in the games.
- In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the code for the Pokémon League guards only actually checks for the Knuckle Badge and the Feather Badge. The player is assumed to have the other six badges, as Ever Grande City cannot be reached without using the field moves enabled by the other Badges. This can be exploited in glitched runs such as this tool-assisted speedrun.
- In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Pokémon League is displayed as an independent location on the AreaNav's map and has a separate location ID but it is still considered part of Ever Grande City, as suggested in dialogue with Sidney at the Battle Maison.
- When the player first challenges Phoebe in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, as the screen first fades to black, there is a blink-and-miss moment where a little boy (if the player is a girl) or girl (if the player is a boy) appears on her armchair out of thin air. After the screen comes into view again, it seems to switch to the little boy's/girl's point of view before fading to black again. When the screen comes into view again, the little boy/girl can be seen standing behind the player. The little boy/girl doesn't appear in subsequent matches against Phoebe.
