Location
Hoenn Petalburg City Map.png
Location of Petalburg City in Hoenn.

Petalburg City (Japanese: トウカシティ Touka City) is located in southwestern Hoenn. Despite Petalburg being the first city with a Gym, the Gym is not accessible until after obtaining four Badges. Norman, the father of the players, is also the Petalburg Gym Leader.

East of Petalburg City is Route 102 and Oldale Town. To the west is Route 104 where Mr. Briney's Cottage and the Petalburg Woods are found.

When a player first arrives at this city, they are prevented from heading out into Route 104 until they go to the Gym and talk to Norman. A boy named Wally will come in asking for help to catch a Pokémon. Using Zigzagoon, a Pokémon Norman lends, and the player's support, Wally catches his first Pokémon: a Ralts.

In Generation III, the Pokémon Center has a man near the PC who will let players put key words on their Trainer Cards.

Slogan

Where people mingle with nature. (Japanese: しぜんと ひとが ふれあう まち The city where people mingle with nature.)

Places of interest

Wally's house

Wally's house is located in the west section of the town, next door to the Gym. Wally, the main rival of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, and his family live here.

The Petalburg Gym is the official Gym of Petalburg City. It is based on Normal-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Norman. Norman is the father of the player in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. He uses Normal Pokémon and gives out the Balance Badge. Between the entrance and Gym Leader Norman are a series of rooms, each containing a Trainer. The Trainers have special ways to battle, as displayed on the doors leading to their rooms. Once three rooms in a row are completed, they can access the Gym Leader Room with Norman. When defeated, Norman will give the player the Balance Badge as well as TM42 (Facade)RSE or TM67 (Retaliate)ORAS as a reward.

In the anime, Petalburg City is the hometown of Norman, May, Max, and Caroline. It also has a sister city to the north of it, called North Petalburg.

Ash and May first arrived there in There's no Place Like Hoenn. After meeting up with May's family and Ash having an unofficial battle with Norman that ended in a loss, they left together with May's brother Max. They returned to Petalburg City in Love, Petalburg Style!, where Ash and the gang had a confrontation with Team Rocket. Ash had an official Gym battle with Norman in the following episode, where he gained a Gym badge.

201

In the Ruby & Sapphire arc, Ruby visits the city of his father's Gym, initially by means of his Running Shoes that cause minor havoc. He encounters Wally, a frail young boy who admits to failing to catch the wild Nuzleaf that Ruby's Mudkip, Mumu, defeated earlier. Wally says that despite his latest setback, he refuses to give up becoming a Pokémon trainer. Ruby suddenly senses Norman approaching, and hides himself and Wally in a bush. Wally eventually comes out on Norman's request, but is refused help to capture a Pokémon, due to ill health.

The next day, Ruby helps cheer up a disheartened Wally by helping him capture his first Pokémon, a Kecleon, with the help of Ruby's Ralts, Rara. Shortly after the capture succeeds, an earthquake ravages the ground underneath Ruby, causing him to fall into the ocean. Wally and Rara are separated from Ruby.
