Poké Mart

A Poké Mart (Japanese: フレンドリィショップ Friendly Shop) is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for Pokémon training. It sells various items such as Poké Balls, status ailment healing items, mail, Escape Ropes, et cetera. A Poké Mart's stock varies with its location, such as Poké Balls being available in Viridian City and Ultra Balls being available in Cinnabar Island. Some sell more items than others. Poké Marts also buy many different items in exchange for money. Much of the merchandise sold at such stores is produced by either Silph Co. or the Devon Corporation.

Almost all cities, both major and minor, have Poké Marts, the exception being some which have local medicine shops. Notably, the town players start at in each main game does not have a Poké Mart. An interesting thing to note is that in the anime, Poké Marts do not seem to be as ubiquitous as in the games.

When the Mystery Gift function on a game cartridge is activated, a deliveryman may appear in Poké Marts with gifts for the player. The deliveryman only appears when a Mystery Gift is received by the cartridge.

In Generation IV, rather than the items and their quantity varying with its location, the merchandises' availability will increase with each Gym Badge obtained. For example, if all Gym badges are under ones possession, the same items will be found at each Poké Mart around Sinnoh.
