Location of Cianwood City in Johto

Cianwood City (Japanese: タンバシティ Tanba City) is located in on the far western edge of Johto, apparently on a totally different landmass than the rest of the region. Its motto is "A Port Surrounded by Rough Seas!"

Tales of Lugia and the whirlpools it creates circulate among the sailors that stop in this port town.

The only way to go between Cianwood City and Johto's mainland is to Fly or Surf through the sea to the east, Route 41.

Places of interest

Mania's House

Mania, a PokéManiac on the island, will give the player a Shuckle for safekeeping after Silver steals his Sneasel. The rival had bullied the paranoid Trainer into giving up his rare Pokémon.

Photo Studio

There's a Photo Studio where pictures of Pokémon can be taken. This is meant to work with the Game Boy Printer peripheral. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the player can print out their Pokédex or the stats of one specific Pokémon. Mail can also be printed.

Cianwood City Pharmacy

Cianwood City Pharmacy is a small pharmacy that is over 500 years old. The Cianwood City Pharmacy sells remedies exclusive to the town. Jasmine will ask the player to fetch her Ampharos some medicine from there.

After giving Jasmine the medicine, players can return to the Pharmacy to find that Potions and Full Heals are in stock.

Area north of the city

Area north of Cianwood City in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

In the very north of the city, there is a small area with a ledge where Suicune will be at a certain point in Crystal. Eusine will appear after it runs away, and will battle the player in an effort to prove himself to Suicune.

Pokémon Seer

In the very north of the city, there is a small house with an elderly woman who can tell where and when a Pokémon in the trainer's party has been caught. The Seer can only be found in Crystal Version. Unlike later games, the player is unable to find out where they caught their Pokémon by looking in their Pokémon's status; hence, the Pokémon Seer is the only way the player can tell where they caught their Pokémon. If a Pokémon traded from another game or an in-game traded Pokémon is shown to her, she will not be able to identify any details about it.

Cianwood Gym

Main article: Cianwood Gym

The Cianwood Gym is the official gym of Cianwood City. It is based on Fighting-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Chuck. Trainers who defeat him receive the Storm Badge. Obtaining this Badge is usually the only reason that people travel to Cianwood City.

For some reason the caretaker for the Cianwood Gym is inside the local Pokémon Center rather than the gym itself.

Demographics

Cianwood City has a total population of 19. This makes it one of the smallest cities in Johto. It has little immigration, because of its remote position in Johto. Cianwood City is strongly related to Olivine City, as the only route to Cianwood is via Olivine.

Item

• SecretPotion: From the Cianwood City Pharmacy.
• HM02 (Fly): From Chuck's wife, after obtaining the Storm Badge.
• Max Ether (hidden)
• Revive (hidden, requires Rock Smash)

Trivia

• Cianwood was the first Fighting-type Pokémon Gym where the player received an official Pokémon League Badge, due to Saffron City's Fighting Dojo losing its official status before the events of Generation I/III.
• Like Cianwood City, Dewford Town, home of Hoenn's Fighting-type Gym, is also separate from the mainland and lacking a PokéMart.
• Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum have a reference to Cianwood City. After meeting up with Cynthia, she will give the player a SecretPotion. The SecretPotion's description mentions that it was dispensed by the pharmacy in Cianwood City.
