Sprout Tower (Japanese: マダツボミのとう Madatsubomi Tower) is a pagoda in Violet City in Johto. It is inhabited by monks who teach that all living beings coexist through cooperation. These monks train Bellsprout, and occasionally Hoothoot.
As trainers battle, the flexible pagoda shakes from side to side. This flexibility protects the tall tower from earthquakes. This technology is now known as 柔構造 jūkōzō, and applied to hundreds of modern high-rise buildings. Legend has it that a 100-foot-tall Bellsprout was used to make the swaying pillar.
As night falls, ghosts are said to appear in the tower, in the form of Gastly.
The design of Sprout Tower is inspired by Buddhist temples in the Nara Prefecture of Japan, such as Kōfuku-ji and Hōryū-ji temples.
In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, after defeating Sage Li, players receive HM05 (Flash). In HeartGold and SoulSilver, after defeating Elder Kōsei, players receive TM70 (Flash).

Trivia
- It is actually possible to use Dig to escape from Sprout Tower— even the top floor— and return to the entrance; this is because, as can be seen from the in-battle background used in Generation IV, Sprout Tower is classified as a cave area, rather than a building.
