Location Location of Verdanturf Town in Hoenn. |
Verdanturf Town (Japanese: シダケタウン Shidake Town) is a small, quaint town nestled between the mountains and the plains in central western Hoenn.
Wally is sent to live here with his aunt, uncle, and cousin Wanda in order to improve his health. This town is well known for its very clean air. The town features a Contest Hall in Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. However, the Contest Hall is replaced with a Battle Tent in Pokémon Emerald.
There are two ways out of Verdanturf. To the east is Route 117 towards Mauville City. To the north is the Rusturf Tunnel, which was being constructed to link Rustboro City and Verdanturf. However, the construction disturbed the local Whismur who lived in the tunnel, and so it was canceled. Wanda's boyfriend tried to dig the tunnel himself, but was unable to do it. After the player character of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire gets the Dynamo Badge, he or she can use Rock Smash to complete the tunnel and open a path to Route 116.
Places of interest
Friendship rater
In the town, there is a woman who rates the friendship of Pokémon. She is located in the house situated to the left of Wanda's house.
Wanda's house
Wanda and most of her family live in the south side of the town.
In the games, Wally is sent to Verdanturf Town to live with his cousin, Wanda, and his aunt and uncle.
Shroomish girl
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is a little girl between the houses of Wanda and the friendship rater who has lost her Shroomish. She mentions it went missing somewhere near the sign. If the player reads the sign after talking to the girl, the Shroomish will come out from behind the sign and return to the girl. As a reward for finding it, the little girl will give the player the Intriguing Stone.
Contest Hall
Pokémon Coordinators flock to the town for Pokémon Contests. All Contest challenges originate in Verdanturf, as it is where the Normal Rank Pokémon Contests, essential for moving on, are located, and where Pokémon Coordinators can register their Contest Passes. In Emerald, however, the Contest Hall is replaced with a Battle Tent. Contest entries of all ranks are unrestricted in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

In the anime
In the Pokémon anime, Verdanturf Town was shown to have a fairly luxurious neighborhood. It is the hometown of Morrison, a Pokémon Trainer and one of Ash's rivals in the Ever Grande Conference. Among the town's residents are Timmy Grimm and his parents, Mrs. Grimm and Tommy Grimm.
Ash, May, Max, and Brock arrived in Verdanturf Town in Disaster of Disguise, where they met up with Drew again. Drew was in Verdanturf to compete in the town's Pokémon Contest. However, after his Roselia was injured in a battle against Timmy's Dusclops, he decided it would be better not to participate.
In Disguise Da Limit!, May entered the Verdanturf Contest hoping to win her second Ribbon. Timmy and Jessie, disguised as The Phantom and Jesselana, respectively, were also among the competing Coordinators. In the Appeals Round, May's Skitty failed to deliver a successful Blizzard attack. Despite this, she was able to save her performance by juggling with Double Slap just like Dr. Abby taught her in Delcatty Got Your Tongue, advancing May to the Contest Battles.
After defeating Stefano, May battled Timmy in the final round. Timmy proved to be a talented Coordinator and a tough opponent for May, as he had some good Contest combinations up his sleeve. This led May to lose a large amount of points. However, her Skitty managed to master the move Blizzard and use it against Dusclops, knocking it out. The three Contest judges then called Battle Off and May was declared the winner, receiving the coveted Verdanturf Ribbon.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Ruby, having arrived from the Weather Institute to Verdanturf with Gabby and Ty, starts his Pokémon Contest conquest in Volume 18. It was then revealed, at the end of the Ruby & Sapphire arc, that the Contest Hall was severely damaged following the incident involving Kyogre and Groudon, and a Battle Tent was set up in its place.
Wally, who had been in Verdanturf with his cousin Wanda to improve his health, left the town before Ruby arrived.
Trivia
- The Poké Mart of this town is the only one in Hoenn where Nest Balls can be purchased.
- Verdanturf's Japanese motto is くさの においの かぜふく こうげん "The highlands where the grass-scented wind blows".
