Slateport City (Japanese: カイナシティ Kaina City) is a port town on the southern coast of Hoenn. Its motto is "The Port Where People and Pokémon Cross Paths".

North of Slateport City is Route 110, which has a bicycle route as well as a path to Mauville City. South of the city is the beach of Route 109. East of the city is the ocean path of Route 134, but the water's current is too strong to Surf east.

Slateport was created because the clean water made the food abundant in the area, so a local market started to grow. The city is a harbor where ships and boats come and go. There is a lighthouse near the south of Slateport that illuminates the sea for passing ships. It is a great shopping destination with a local Slateport Market. Captain Stern is a big name in Slateport. He is an undersea explorer who runs Stern's Shipyard, building the local Oceanic Museum and also working on the S.S. Tidal which runs in and out of Slateport City after its completion.

Places of interest

The Slateport Market

The Slateport Market is an open-air bazaar featuring items that can't be easily found anywhere else. There is a place to buy Secret Base decorations, vitamins and seaweed there.

"Unique items found nowhere else!"

Oceanic Museum

Main article: Oceanic Museum

The Oceanic Museum was built by Captain Stern to teach others of the ocean and the ocean floor. There is a $50 entrance fee. There are seven exhibits on the first floor and nine exhibits on the second floor about information on different aspects of the ocean and water.

Pokémon Fan Club

Slateport is the home to the headquarters for the Hoenn branch of the Pokémon Fan Club. The people in the Fan Club adore their Pokémon and give friendly advice. One of the women in the fan club will give away a Soothe Bell if the player's Pokémon has a high happiness. In Emerald, people show off their Pokémon in contests because the Pokémon Contest hall in Lilycove City is too far to travel.

POKéMON FAN CLUB
"Calling all fans of POKéMON!"

Name Rater

The Name Rater of Hoenn lives in Slateport City. As always, he allows trainers to change the nickname of any Pokémon they captured or received in-game. Those traded from outside sources will not be able to be renamed.

NAME RATER'S HOUSE
"POKéMON nicknames rated."

Pokémon Contest

The Hyper Rank Pokémon Contest House is located in Slateport. Only Pokémon who have beaten the Super Rank can perform here. It is replaced by the Battle Tent in Emerald.

Battle Tent

Main article: Pokémon Battle Tent

The Battle Tent can only be found in Pokémon Emerald. It is one of four Battle Tents found in Emerald. Entrants pick out three Pokémon from a list of 6 random rentals, all at level 30. Then, three Trainers are battled, having a chance after each battle to possibly trade a Pokémon for one from the person that was just defeated.

Demographics

The population of Slateport City is 45, making it the third-biggest city in Hoenn, behind Rustboro City and Lilycove City and sixth overall in all regions. Slateport's high population can be attributed to a number of reasons, including its market, beach, and shipyard.
