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 to improve his health. The town features a Contest Hall in Pokémon Ruby and 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.
