Dewford Town (Japanese: ムロタウン Muro Town) is located on an island southwest of mainland Hoenn. Dewford houses a dock, providing transportation between Route 104 and Slateport City. The island town is home to Brawly, the Dewford Gym Leader who specializes in Template:Type2 Pokémon. Unlike other towns, Dewford does not offer a Poké Mart.
To the north of Dewford Town, on Route 106, is Granite Cave, a popular spot for rock collectors.

Dewford Hall
Dewford Hall is located north of the Pokémon Center, and is the northernmost building in the town. A sign outside reads:
DEWFORD HALL
"Everyone's information exchange!"
Although it is a tiny island community, if someone says something "trendy" there, it quickly spreads throughout the rest of Hoenn. Dewford Town is famous for these fads. Trendy phrases are usually passed around in Dewford Hall, called "Everyone's information exchange!" There is a boy just outside Dewford Hall that lets the player change the "trendy" phase and people in Dewford Hall will be influenced by the trend. Changing this affects where Feebas appears in Route 119. If the player returns to Dewford Hall after collecting the Balance Badge, a dark haired man with glasses will appear near the entrance and proclaim that he loves Sludge Bomb and then he will give the player TM36 (Sludge Bomb).
Dewford Gym
- Main article: Dewford Gym
Dewford Gym is located in the southernmost portion of Dewford, south of the pier and the Pokémon Center. The sign outside reads:
DEWFORD TOWN POKéMON GYM
LEADER: BRAWLY
"A big wave in fighting!"
The gym is run by Brawly who specializes in Template:Type2 Pokémon. Many citizens look up to Brawly and idolize him. Trainers who defeat him receive the Knuckle Badge. The Gym is a dark maze in which only little light is given. If the players battle the Gym Trainers, more light is awarded to the player. Once the player defeats Brawly, the Gym is fully illuminated.
