Mauville City (Japanese: キンセツシティ Kinsetsu City) is located in central Hoenn and serves as the hub for travelers throughout the Hoenn region. The city features a Game Corner and Rydel's Cycles. Wattson is the Gym Leader and founder of Mauville. He originally had plans to do a complete overhaul of the town, but abandoned them. The city is also notable for its Pokémon Center men.
The roads of the town stretch north to Route 111, west to Route 117 and Verdanturf Town, east to a beach on Route 118, and south to Route 110.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the city's layout has changed dramatically, becoming a mostly-indoor city with various shops and floors. It is considered a sister city to Lumiose City of Kalos.

Rydel's Cycles
- Main article: Rydel's Cycles
A bike shop is located in Mauville City which is called Rydel's Cycles. It is very conveniently located for the owner and customers alike, as the Seaside Cycling Road runs on Route 110, just to the south. Rydel sells Acro Bikes and Mach Bikes. However, he will give the player a bike for free after he finds out that the player have come all the way from Littleroot Town with just Running Shoes. The player may exchange their bike with the owner for the other bike.
Mauville Game Corner
- Main article: Mauville Game Corner
In Generation III, the Mauville Game Corner is a tourist attraction where people can gamble coins on slots or roulette. This game corner houses two roulette wheels and sixteen slot machines. A Coin Case is needed to play at the game corner, which can also be found in one of the houses at Mauville City, in exchange for Harbor Mail.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Game Corner is closed, with the owner stating that he had to close it for "reasons you don't need to know".
Mauville Gym
- Main article: Mauville Gym
The Mauville Gym specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. Wattson, the Gym leader hands out the Dynamo Badge to players who defeat him. The Gym contains electric dividers that turn on or off when different switches are stepped on.
Vending Machine
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is a Vending Machine on the first floor to the east of the Route 110 entrance.
Mauville Food Court
Appearing in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Mauville Food Court (also known as the Battle Food Court) functions similarly to the restaurants of Lumiose City. Here, the player places an order for food at one of the three counters. After paying, the player is given an amount of turns to wait for their meal. Taking a seat, the player is then challenged to battle by a gauntlet of Trainers trying to take their seat away. After the turn limit ends, or if the player defeats all challengers, the player will leave their seat to take their meal, along with a prize. At first, the player can only order the Village Sub Combo, which consists of Single Battles and costs $1,000. More food and battle options are unlocked once the player enters the Hall of Fame for the first time. Magnemite Croquette consists of Double Battles and costs $5,000, while Mauville Ramen Bowl consists of Triple Battles and costs $10,000. If the player manages to clear the first seven battles of Mauville Ramen Bowl within seven turns, they will be challenged by the strongest Trainer in the restaurant: Fare Prince Trencherman.

Move Tutors
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, two Move Tutors set up shop in southeastern Maville. The northern move tutor will teach Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, or Hydro Cannon to any fully evolved starter Pokémon that also has maximum Friendship. The southern move tutor will teach Grass Pledge, Fire Pledge, or Water Pledge to any starter Pokémon.
Another move tutor can be found in Café Crooner, who will teach Keldeo and Meloetta their respective signature moves, Secret Sword and Relic Song.
Moves taught
Battle Institute
- Main article: Battle Institute
The Battle Institute on the east side of the first floor works in the same way as the one in Lumiose City in Kalos. The player can opt for a Battle Test (five consecutive single or double battles) or a Download Test (which can be downloaded either wirelessly or via Wi-Fi at certain time, similar to event Pokémon). The player can win BP here.
Inverse Battle Stop
- Main article: Inverse Battle
Next to the Battle Institute is the Inverse Battle Stop. Here, the player can battle Inver, the same Psychic who challenges players to Inverse Battles in Kalos. Inver uses a different pool of Pokémon compared to the ones he used in X and Y, and they start at level 20 as opposed to level 55. Inver has many preset Pokémon, but only chooses a random three during the battle. In addition, his Pokémon's Abilities may vary, even potentially having their Hidden Abilities.
Inver's rewards
After he is defeated, Inver will give the player an item depending on how well the player did. Inver's evaluation of the player is based on a score calculated by subtracting the number of not-very-effective hits the player made from the number of super effective hits they made.
If none of the player's Pokémon fainted, Inver will give the player three of an item, but otherwise he will only give the player one. Inver can be battled once per day.

Nice job! Though I think that you haven't quite grasped the trick of Inverse Battling. Still, I'll give you a little something, so be sure to come try again!

Aside from Wattson, who lives in Apartment 13, notable residents include a unique female Expert known as Rotation Girl Circle (also known as the Rotation Frump), who, despite initial protests, will accept a challenge to a Rotation Battle once a day. This is the only instance of Rotation Battles found in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire outside of Secret Bases. She lives in Apartment 1.
