Rustboro City (Japanese: カナズミシティ Kanazumi City) is a metropolis located in western Hoenn. It is one of the largest cities in the region. The first gym is located here with Roxanne as the Gym Leader.

Places of interest

Devon Corporation

Main article: Devon Corporation

Rustboro serves as the establishment for the Devon Corporation, a company which makes many items for Pokémon Trainers. The company headquarters is located in the northwest corner of the city, and takes the appearance of a very olden-style building. A sign outside reads:

DEVON CORPORATION
"For all your living needs, we make
it all."

Apart from developing improved and innovative items, the company also revives Pokémon from fossils. The Devon Corporation are also attempting to build impossible machines such as one that can transform people into Pokémon. In the south section of the town is an apartment complex for Devon employees.

Cutter's House

A Cutter lives near the Pokémon Center with his daughter. A sign outside reads:

CUTTER'S HOUSE

When the city of Rustboro was undergoing expansion, the Cutter had his Pokémon use Cut to help clear the land of trees. He will give the player HM01 (Cut).

Elyssa's House

Elyssa's House is located next to the Gym in Rustboro City. By talking to Elyssa, the player is given the option to make an in-game trade. In Ruby and Sapphire, Elyssa wants a Slakoth (found in the Petalburg Woods), and will trade a Makuhita named Makit in exchange. In Emerald, he wants a Ralts (found on Route 102), and will trade a Seedot named Dots in exchange. Makit is holding an X Attack, and Dots is holding a Chesto Berry. The new Pokémon's level will match that of the Pokémon the player traded.

Pokémon Trainer's School

Main article: Pokémon Trainer's School

The Pokémon Trainer's School is located east of the Pokémon Center. A sign outside reads:

POKéMON TRAINER'S SCHOOL
"We'll teach you anything about
POKéMON!"

Inside are five students and a teacher, who gives the player the Quick Claw. Talking to the students also reveals helpful information. Behind the teacher is the blackboard with the list of status changes that may affect Pokémon in a battle. In the anime, Roxanne, the local gym leader, runs the school.

Walda's House

In Pokémon Emerald, a sad young girl named Walda lives between the Pokémon Center and the Devon Corporation building. If the proper 'funny' word is given to her caretaker, she will reward the player with a new wallpaper for the Pokémon Storage System.

Rustboro Gym

Main article: Rustboro Gym

Rustboro Gym is the first gym a player must face in the Hoenn region. It is located in the northern part of Rustboro, east of the Devon Corporation. The sign outside reads:

RUSTBORO CITY POKéMON GYM
LEADER: ROXANNE
"The ROCK-loving honors student!"

The gym leader is called Roxanne who specializes in Template:Type2 Pokémon. A Stone Badge is awarded for defeating Roxanne. In the anime, Rustboro Gym appears as a giant boulder in A Winner by a Nosepass!.

Demographics

The population of Rustboro City is 50, making it the second biggest city in Hoenn (behind Lilycove City) and the fifth biggest in all regions.

In the anime

In the anime, Rustboro City appears in episodes Gonna Rule The School! to On a Wingull and a Prayer!. It appears as a beautiful seaside city with a look out over the mountains. It's a big city with tall buildings and some skyscrapers.

Trivia

  • Rustboro is geographically the westernmost known establishment in the Pokémon world so far.
  • Rustboro City is very similar to Saffron City of Kanto. Both Saffron City and Rustboro are home to their region's corporate giants.
    • It is also similar to Pewter City of Kanto and Goldenrod City of Johto. Their geographic locations to their regions are very remarkably similar, as well as being only accessible through a forest during the beginning of the games. Rustboro is more like Pewter in that both cities are the second city visited with a gym, but first to be beaten by the player. Both Pewter and Rustboro's Gyms specialize in Template:Type2 Pokémon, and play a role in the player obtaining fossil Pokémon.
  • As Hoenn coincides with Kyushu, Rustboro coincides approximately with Fukuoka and Kitakyushu.
