The Silph Corporation (Japanese: シルフカンパニー Silph Company) is a company in many versions of the Pokémon franchise. They are the manufacturers of many tools, including the Silph Scope, which allows the user to view spectral entities, and have headquarters in Saffron City. They are also speculated to run the Poké Marts in Kanto and possibly Johto and the Sevii Islands as well.
Geography
Company Overview
Silph Co. is the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology. It is this company that produces the Poké Balls used by trainers to capture Pokémon, and they are constantly looking for ways to improve upon them. Their status made them a target in the Generation I storyline, in which Team Rocket orchestrated the takeover of their headquarters in Saffron City. The player, though, will arrive just in time to take on the mission of driving them out of the city, and the President of Silph will reveal afterwards the top-secret development Team Rocket was after: the Master Ball, which can catch any Pokémon without fail.
Headquarters
The Silph Co. Head Office Building is an eleven-floor skyscraper that is effectively a giant maze. In the games, the player must navigate using warp tiles in order to reach the board room on the top floor. The player must find the Card Key, which unlocks Silph's doors like a hotel key, on the fourth floor of the building in order to do this. All the while, the player must battle through numerous Team Rocket grunts, including the Rocket Brothers, and one Juggler.
Then the player must return to the third floor, open the doors in the center-left of the floor, and use the warp tile to the far left to be taken to the room with a further warp tile that leads to board room. The player's rival waits in that room and the player must face him before continuing on. After he has been beaten, the other person in the room will give the player a Lapras, an extremely rare Pokémon that cannot be obtained any other way in Generation I.
After this, the player may continue on to the board room to face Giovanni for the Master Ball. After rescuing Silph, the player is free to explore the building and talk to the employees.
In Generation II, Silph Co. has increased security, and the player is not allowed to enter the upper floors. One of the guards, however, will kindly give the player an Up-Grade for talking to him, which will allow a Porygon to evolve through a trade into Porygon2. In Generation IV's HeartGold and SoulSilver, one of the Hoenn region's starter Pokémon may be obtained here towards the end of the game. The alternate forms of Rotom may also be accessed here in Generation IV, and the notebook present in the room Rotom's appliances can be found in indicates that Charon may have had past connection to the company. Generation IV also introduced a logo for the company that appears on the PokéGear and has a statue based on it in the company's building.

- In Super Smash Bros., Silph Co. is the main platform on the Saffron City stage. Sometimes, some Pokémon appear from the building. Following is a list of Pokémon that appears and the attacks that they use:
Trivia
- Oddly enough, among the Team Rocket Grunts and Team Rocket scientists in Silph Co. is Juggler Dalton, who attacks the player like any grunt, exclaiming that kids shouldn't be here. He battles the player with a Kadabra and a Mr. Mime. After the battle, he says that it's a long way to his boss, indirectly referring to Giovanni, which hints that Dalton is associated with Team Rocket (though is clearly not a grunt). He is also the only Team Rocket member not belonging to Team Rocket or Scientist Trainer classes.
- Charon's history with the company is a likely reason for Cyrus's possession of the Master Ball in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, considering that the Master Ball was developed by Silph only three years prior.
Name origin
It is speculated that Silph Co.'s name is derived from the sylph, a mythological creature.
