Location Location of Violet City in Johto. | ||||||||||||
|
Violet City (Japanese: キキョウシティ Kikyō City) is located in central Johto. It is the third city encountered in Johto by the player. Pokémon Trainers often come to Violet City in order to win the Zephyr Badge from Falkner, the Violet Gym Leader, who specializes in Flying-type Pokémon. The city has three entrances, one from the east via Route 31, one from the south via Route 32, and one from the west via Route 36.
Places of interest
Pokémon School
- Main article: Pokémon academy
Located in the center of the town is the Pokémon School (Japanese: ポケモンじゅく Pokémon Juku), where prospective Trainers learn how to raise Pokémon. On the blackboard are descriptions of the various status ailments which can affect Pokémon.
The Pokémon School is also a place where students and Trainers can learn more about Pokémon. Most beginning Trainers visit at least one of them, and common Trainers classes found studying at these locations are Lasses, School Kids, and Scientists.
It is run by Earl Dervish, who at first is located next to the Gym, but will show the player where the Pokémon School is located while he twirls around at every turn along the way.
In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, it is known as Earl's Pokémon Academy (Japanese: ジョバンニせんせいのポケモンじゅく Prof. Giovanni's Pokémon Juku).
EARL'S POKÉMON
ACADEMY
Sprout Tower
- Main article: Sprout Tower
The large tower in the northern part of the town is a tall and wobbling pagoda, run by Sages who train Pokémon, all the while teaching people that all living beings coexist through cooperation. These monks mostly train Bellsprout, although occasionally use 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 is applied to hundreds of modern high-rise buildings. Many people believe that a hundred-foot Bellsprout was used to make the swaying pillar.
In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, after the player defeats Li, they will receive HM05 (Flash), while in Generation IV they will instead receive TM70 (Flash). In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player must defeat Li in order to challenge the Violet Gym. Rattata and Bellsprout can be found in the tower, as can Gastly at night.

Violet Gym
- Main article: Violet Gym
The Violet Gym is the official Gym of Violet City. It is based on Flying-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Falkner. Trainers who defeat him receive the Zephyr Badge. In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Gym structure was very basic. The path is held on a raised platform, with a large drop to either side of the path. The path creates an "S" shape as it winds around toward the Gym Leader. At the tips of the "S" there are two Trainers that are both unavoidable. After Falkner is defeated, he will give the player the Zephyr Badge, TM31 (Mud-Slap), and the ability to use Flash outside of battle.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Gym appears to be redesigned as to another perspective. Trainers will start on plain ground other than a raised floor, along with a wooden platform that will lift Trainers up to the upper level, where a structure similar to the previous generation awaits. A Trainer waits at each end of the "S", but unlike in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, both Trainers can be avoided by walking on the glass tiles that encircle the field. After Falkner is defeated, he will give the player the Zephyr Badge, TM51 (Roost), and the ability to use Rock Smash outside of battle.
In-game trade
One of the few in-game trades can be found in Violet City. In a southwestern house lives a Trainer named Rudy (コンタ Konta), called Kyle in the English releases of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, who is willing to give up his Onix, nicknamed Rocky (ブルブル Buruburu), in exchange for a Bellsprout. This Onix will be holding a Bitter BerryGSC or Persim BerryHGSS.
Berries
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, a Juggler found near the Pokémon Center will hand out three different types of Berries each time a Shard is traded. The types of Berries given to the player depend on the shard's color. There is another Juggler that will trade a shard for Berries in Fuchsia City.

Blue Shard | B | Chesto | Oran | Wiki | ||||

Primo
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, there is a man in the Pokémon Center named Primo (ハジメ Hajime) who introduces himself as the host of the Teachy TV program from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, The Show Me Show (called the Poké Dude Show in FireRed and LeafGreen), where he was known as the Poké Dude (テレビのおにいさん TV Dude). He will offer the player the chance to give their opinion on him as he is apparently a celebrity. If the right combination of phrases is selected, the player can get secret wallpapers or Pokémon Eggs.
