Cities and Towns

Pastoria City (Japanese: ノモセシティ Nomose City) is a city in the region of Sinnoh. It also the home of the Move relearner, the Scarf Guy and the Sinnoh region's Safari Zone. It is a city on the edge of a giant swamp, known as the Great Marsh. The marsh was once part of the sea, which drained away over time leaving the marshland. There are rare Pokémon only found in the swamps. The Great Marsh keeps the weather cool in the summertime, making it an ideal town for Water Pokémon. Croagunk is one of the rare Pokémon that can only be found in the swamp, so it is the city's official mascot.
