Cerulean City (Japanese: ハナダシティ Hanada City) is a seaside city located in northern Kanto. It is situated near a sea inlet to the north, with Saffron City to the south, and Mt. Moon to the west. It is home to Misty, the Cerulean City Gym Leader.

The city is one of only two cities in Kanto to have four different routes enter the city, the other being Saffron City. Cerulean is a mid-sized city with a few attractions, including the Miracle Cycle Bike Shop and the Berry Powder man.

Places of interest

Bike Shop

Miracle Cycle in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

Main article: Miracle Cycle

In Generation I, the Bike Shop sells Bicycles produced by the company. Designs range from a plain city bike to fast mountain bike; however the player can only ever get one: the Bicycle. It can be bought for $1,000,000 or exchanged for a Bike Voucher. As only $999,999 can be held at maximum, there is no way for the player to obtain a Bicycle without a Bike Voucher. The Pokémon Fan Club Chairman in Vermilion City will hand over his Bike Voucher if the player listens to him talk about his Rapidash.

In Generation II, the shop is closed because the owner decided to move the shop to Goldenrod City in the Johto region. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, however, the shop in Kanto is also open, although nothing is obtainable inside. The manager mentions that since all the bicycles have been shipped to Johto for sale, all he has left to sell are inflatable tubes. The That Town, These People radio show profile of Cerulean City mentions this as well.

The name "Miracle Cycle" only appears in the Japanese games. In the English versions, the Miracle Cycle Shops are just called "Bike Shops" and no mention of Miracle Cycle is made at all.

Cerulean Cave

Main article: Cerulean Cave

On the outskirts of Cerulean City lies Cerulean Cave, also known as the Unknown Dungeon. It is said to be home to "horribly strong Pokémon". The player can capture the level 70 Mewtwo in the Generation I, III, and IV games. Only Trainers who compete and win in the Pokémon League at Indigo Plateau may enter due to the strength of the Pokémon in the cave. Mewtwo lies at the end of the cave, the only one of its species in the game.

Another addition in FireRed and LeafGreen is that trainers are now required to further prove themselves before entering the cave by completing the quest on the Sevii Islands and restoring the Network Machine to operational status. This stipulation may or may not have been added due to the addition of Wobbuffet to the cave's selection of wild Pokémon, and the old set of requirements that would have allowed players to enter the cave before obtaining the National Pokédex.

In Generation II, the Dungeon has collapsed, but Mewtwo's Berserk Gene has been left behind. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, however, the cave is still open. The Pokégear map mentions that it once collapsed but was rebuilt, and Mewtwo can still be found inside.

Cerulean Gym

Main article: Cerulean Gym

Cerulean Gym in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

The Cerulean Gym is the official gym of Cerulean City. It is based on Template:Type2 Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Misty. Trainers who defeat her will receive the Cascade Badge. Other known gym members include Swimmer Briana, Swimmer Parker, Swimmer Diana, Swimmer Luis, and Picnicker Diana. The Cerulean Gym is designed like an indoor swimming pool, with platforms above the water for the player to walk on. There are no puzzles to solve in this gym.

Berry Powder man

In FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a man in a cottage in the northern part of town who concocts a variety of medicines from Berry Powder and will exchange Berry Powder for rare and valuable items. When he is first visited, he gives the player the Powder Jar, and will ask the player to make some Berry Powder from the new machine that crushes berries in the Pokémon Center upstairs. There is also a sign on his wall that keeps a record of pressing-speed ranking the player achieves.

Berry Powder
EnergyPowder 50 units	Energy Root 80 units
Heal Powder 50 units	Revival Herb 300 units
Protein 1000 units	Iron 1000 units
Carbos 1000 units	Calcium 1000 units
Zinc 1000 units	HP Up 1000 units
PP Up 3000 units

Gym Badge man

In Generations I and III, there is a man in a cottage in the northwest corner of the city who will explain exactly what the effects are for each of the eight Indigo League Gym Badges. He also has a small backyard, where a Rare Candy can be found hidden among the flowers.

Burgled house

In Generations I and III, a Team Rocket Grunt stole TM28 (Dig) from its owner, leaving the house a mess. After defeating the Grunt, the player will receive the TM from him. The Grunt then says that since the TM was stolen, he'll find a way of teaching Dig to Diglett without a TM.

The house is initially inaccessible because a Cerulean Police Officer (Officer Jenny in Yellow) blocks the door. The officer will only move aside from the door after the player talks to Bill at his Sea Cottage on Route 25.

In Generations II and IV, the man is actively fighting against robbers so the situation that occured to him and his wife three years prior does not happen again. When he learns about the Team Rocket Grunt who stole the Machine Part, he gets upset and claims that he won't even reconsider not reporting the Team Rocket Grunt if he turns out to be the same thief from three years ago.

There's a notice outside the house in Generation II and HeartGold and SoulSilver that reads:
