Location Location of Sootopolis City in Hoenn. |
Sootopolis City (Japanese: ルネシティ Rune City) is a city located off the eastern mainland of Hoenn.
Sootopolis City plays a major part in the games, as it is the location where the player has their encounter with the Legendary Pokémon GroudonROR or KyogreSAS, and obtain their final Badge.

History
Sootopolis City is located inside of a giant crater.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the crater was formed by a giant meteorite impact into the ocean of the Hoenn region thousands of years ago, eventually filling with rainwater. People soon began to dwell in the crater for its warm, fresh water and a city soon came forth. The great tree in front of the Cave of Origin was received from AZ when he visited from the Kalos region.
To navigate the city, people have to climb many flights of stairs and Dive under the sea. This causes many of the locals to get into good shape.

In the anime
In the anime, the volcano Sootopolis is built upon opens up at one side, giving access to ferries. It appeared in the episodes The Great Eight Fate! and Eight Ain't Enough!. Ash had his battle with Juan here, obtaining his final Hoenn League Badge.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Sootopolis City was first mentioned in Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt I by Mr. Briney when his Whiscash, Whisko, was sensing earthquakes with its whiskers and that many earthquakes have happened there.
The fight between Groudon and Kyogre mainly took place in Sootopolis City.
Origin
Sootopolis City appears to be based on the Greek island of Santorini, also known as Thera.
Trivia
- Sootopolis's Japanese motto is れきしが ねむる しんぴの まち "The mystical city where history slumbers".
- The background music used in this city is a remix of music from Pokémon Pinball, specifically that which plays during the "Name Entry" screen.
- In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, if the player goes to the highest house on the right side of the city (the side with the Pokémon Center), stands on the stairs outside, and hits the "left" direction on the d-pad, it is possible to use a glitch to walk on part of the rock wall. This was corrected in Pokémon Emerald.
- This is the only city in the Pokémon world which requires the use of Dive in order to be reached for the first time.
- Kiri was named after Junichi Masuda's daughter, born right before the Japanese release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.[1]
- Sootopolis City is the only city or town located in the middle of a single route.
- In the flower patch next to the big tree AZ gave, there is a flower in the patch that is the same in design to the flower the Eternal Flower Floette, the Floette that befriended AZ in the Pokémon X and Y storyline. Whether there is a in-game event relating to this is currently unknown.
