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.

Company information

A Silph Co. Master Ball.

Overview

Silph Co. is the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology. It is this company that develops the most commercially used Poké Balls, constantly looking for ways to improve upon them. Silph is also known to produce several other Pokémon-related items, including medicine and Technical Machines, supplying Poké Marts of their territory. Its president is a kind, old man.

History

Silph's status had made it a target of Team Rocket, which, in Generation I and III, orchestrated the takeover of their headquarters in Saffron City. The situation will be resolved by the player, who will take on the mission of driving them out of the city. It is revealed by the company's president that the top-secret development project Team Rocket was after is the Master Ball, which can catch any Pokémon without fail.

Headquarters

The Silph Co. Head Office Building, based in Saffron City, is an eleven-floor skyscraper that is effectively a giant maze.

Generations I and III

In the games, the player can navigate it 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 fifth 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.

Generations II and IV

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, the elevator has broken and is unsafe, denying the player access to the upper floors. The guard standing by the elevator will give the player an Up-Grade when the problem at the Power Plant is fixed.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, one of the Hoenn region's starter Pokémon may be obtained here towards the end of the game from Hoenn Champion himself, Steven Stone.

Generation IV introduced a logo for the company that appears on the Pokégear and has a statue based on it in the company's building.

Rotom's Room

Main article: Rotom's Room

The alternate forms of Rotom may also be accessed here in Generation IV via the broken elevator. When Rotom is in the party the Silph Co. building will be deserted of all people, including Steven. The notebook present in the room indicates that Charon may have had past connection to the company.
