Location Location of Pastoria City in Sinnoh.

Pastoria City (Japanese: ノモセシティ Nomose City) is a city in the Sinnoh region. It is also the home of the Move Reminder, the Scarf Guy and the Sinnoh region's Safari Zone. It is a city on the edge of a giant swamp, known as the Great Marsh. The marsh was once part of the sea, which drained away over time leaving the marshland. There are rare Pokémon only found in the swamps. The Great Marsh keeps the weather cool in the summertime, making it an ideal town for Water Pokémon. Croagunk is one of the rare Pokémon that can be found in the swamp.

Slogan

The Marsh City (Japanese: だいしつげんと いきる まち Town that lives with the Great Marsh.)

Places of interest

Great Marsh

Main article: Great Marsh

The Great Marsh is an area located right to the north of Pastoria City. It is the main attraction of Pastoria City that gets many visitors and Trainers coming from around the area. The Great Marsh contains some Pokémon that cannot be found elsewhere in Sinnoh. It is filled with marshy areas, which are inhabited by wild Pokémon. The entry fee is $500, which grants the player 30 Safari Balls and 500 steps within the marsh before they're forced out.

Move Reminder

Main article: Move Reminder

The Move Reminder allows Pokémon to relearn any move that they were able to learn at an earlier level than the one they are currently at, or ones from that level. Certain Pokémon have moves that may only be obtained in this fashion. The Move Reminder resides in a house northeast of the Poké Mart and will teach a Pokémon a move it could have previously learned but has not, in exchange for a Heart Scale. These may be obtained from the Underground, from the man in the Pokémon News Press^Pt, or from wild Luvdisc after the National Pokédex is acquired.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, after giving the Move Reminder 10 Heart Scales, he will start reteaching moves for free.

Scarf Guy

The Scarf Guy lives in Pastoria City, in the house nearest to the Route 213 exit. The Scarf Guy checks a Pokémon's condition to see if it is worthy of a Scarf. If the Pokémon's condition is at its maximum value in an area, he will give out the corresponding Scarf to that Pokémon. If not, he will tell the player to improve its condition with Poffins.

The Scarf Guy lives with his sister and a Pachirisu. His girlfriend is the Massage Girl in Veilstone City, whom he keeps in contact with through mail, which he lets Pokémon deliver.

Pastoria Gym

Main article: Pastoria Gym

The Pastoria Gym is the official Gym of Pastoria City. It is based on Water-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Crasher Wake. The Pastoria Gym is a large indoor swimming pool with numerous floating platforms. Switches on the floor of the pool raise and lower the water between three levels. To get to the Gym Leader, the switches must be hit in a certain order so that a path will be formed with the floating platforms. For defeating Crasher Wake, Trainers receive the Fen Badge, TM55 (Brine), and the ability to use Defog in Diamond and Pearl and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Surf in Platinum Version outside of battle.

Pastoria City in the anime

Ash and his friends first arrived in Pastoria City in Cream of the Croagunk Crop!. Ash's Gym battle was pushed back because Gym Leader Crasher Wake was judging the Pastoria Croagunk Festival. The city's residents honor Croagunk as guardians of the Pastoria and the Great Marsh, with the city featuring a temple complex dedicated to the Toxic Mouth Pokémon. Each household raises one Croagunk with great reverence and care, and each year, all people gather at the festival to choose the Croagunk champion of the year. The winner receives a crown encrusted with a beautiful diamond and pearl. Nurse Joy's Croagunk was given the honor after beating Team Rocket, defeating the defending champion Hamilton.

In A Crasher Course in Power!, Ash fought against Crasher Wake at the Pastoria Gym and won, earning him the Fen Badge.

The Pastoria Great Marsh is nearby. It is a vast area filled with long grass, mud and interconnected lakes, and is home to many wild Pokémon. Local station chief Carny operates the railway that runs through the Marsh. It is also where James caught his Carnivine in his youth.

Diamond & Pearl arc

Pastoria City first appeared in A Skuffle with Skorupi, where Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum arrived there in order for Platinum to challenge Crasher Wake. However, since Platinum's only Pokémon at the time were Empoleon and Ponyta, one of Wake's Gym Trainers suggested that she should catch herself a Grass type at the Great Marsh. Despite the Pokédex holders following the advice, their trip to the Great Marsh ended up with them catching no new Pokémon at all and Platinum almost drowning in the mud.

In Crafty Carnivine, Platinum challenged Crasher Wake with her Empoleon and Diamond's Torterra, Tru, eventually emerging victorious and earning herself the Fen Badge.

In Besting Buizel I, Crasher Wake brought Pearl to recover at the Pastoria Gym after he had failed to stop Team Galactic from capturing Azelf at Lake Valor. Afterwards, he took Pearl to train on Routes 213 and 212 in preparation for his next confrontation with Team Galactic.

Trivia

• The mascot of Pastoria City is Croagunk, as there is a statue of one in the Poké Mart. This is reflected in the Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl episode Cream of the Croagunk Crop!, when the city holds a Croagunk Festival in honor of their mascot.
• Southeast of the city, there are two ships, but they have no known use for transportation.
• In Platinum, if the player stands behind the Croagunk Wall with the player's head sticking out of it, a wild Croagunk will appear, cry out, and walk into the Great Marsh building.
• Standing right outside the Move Reminder's house is a man who claims to be standing "smack-dab in the middle of town." However, according to the map, he is placed four steps down and five steps to the right of the true center of town.
• Upon arriving in Pastoria, a Team Galactic Grunt will refer to the player as a "little bugger". Despite the game being acceptable for "Everyone", "bugger" is an expletive in some parts of the English-speaking world. This line was removed from the European release.
