Because of the Gym's specialized type, the people of this city tend to walk around accompanied by Electric-type Pokémon.

Trivia
Origin
- Main article: Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Paldea
As a large seaside city along Paldea's eastern coastline featuring modern buildings and towering high-rises, Levincia may be based on the real-world port city of València. Levincia also appears to be a modified anagram of València. The skyscraper complex in Levincia, however, appears to be based on Cuatro Torres found in Madrid instead.
