The Realgam Tower (Japanese: ラルガタワー Ralga Tower) is a gigantic ivory spear projecting far into the heavens. It is an impressive sight in most areas of the world, even more so for sleepy Orre. The tower itself is located in the south-central area of the desert region.

Containing several floors and chambers, the Realgam Tower seems to be built both as a fortress and a high-class hotel. The entrance to the main tower itself is obscured by a series of half-buried tunnels and dead-ends in the surrounding desert.

When four keys are inserted into the base of the tower, the tower's hotel area opens. Impeccably decorated, the Realgam Tower is filled with exquisite paintings and statues of various Pokémon. There are several areas for guests - an information desk and reception area, several Pokémon healing devices and PCs, a bar, a casino, and many other luxuries honeycomb the tower.

At the very top of the tower is a giant, white Colosseum surrounded by a stadium suspended in mid-air.

The tower was constructed over a long period of time by Cipher and Team Snagem. They intended to turn Pokémon into vicious Shadow Pokémon, and lure rich Pokémon enthusiasts to the tower with promises of exciting battles.

In Pokémon Colosseum, the player can capture, in order, Delibird, Sunflora, Heracross, Skarmory, Miltank, Houndoom, Absol, Tropius, Metagross, and Tyranitar. Also, the four Cipher Admins are rematched here, and each will give Wes a key. When all four are collected, the main part of the tower can be entered.

In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Realgam Tower is finally a gaming facility, housing a colosseum, Battle Sims, and Battle Bingo. It has also replaced Phenac Stadium shortly after opening.
