Location Location of Sootopolis City in Hoenn. |
Sootopolis City (Japanese: ルネシティ Rune City) is a city located to the east of the Hoenn mainland.
Sootopolis City plays a major part in the games, as it is the location where the player has their encounter with the Legendary Pokémon GroudonROR or KyogreSAS, and obtain their final Badge.
Sootopolis City has a fantastic nighttime view, with stars peering in through the top of the crater.
In the Pokémon games, Sootopolis City can only be reached by diving through Route 126, or by Flying or soaring. Sootopolis is surrounded by Route 126.
Slogan
The mystical city where history slumbers. (Japanese: れきしが ねむる しんぴの まち The mystical city where history slumbers.)
History
Sootopolis City is located inside of a giant crater.
In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the crater is that of an underwater volcano which erupted and forced itself out of the sea many years ago, eventually filling with rainwater.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the crater was formed by a giant meteorite impact into the ocean of the Hoenn region a thousand years ago, eventually filling with rainwater. People soon began to dwell in the crater for its warm, fresh water and a city soon came forth. The great tree in front of the Cave of Origin was received from AZ when he visited from the Kalos region.
To navigate the city, people have to climb many flights of stairs and Dive under the sea. This causes many of the locals to get into good shape.
Role
Delta Episode

Sootopolis City was first mentioned in Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt I, where Mr. Briney mentioned how his Whiscash, Whisko, had sensed multiple earthquakes happening in Sootopolis.
After Maxie awakened Groudon and Kyogre at the Seafloor Cavern, the two Legendary Pokémon eventually came face to face in Sootopolis City, where they began a fierce battle with each other.

Sootopolis City reappeared in the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, where Zinnia was taken there after Rayquaza rejected her offer to join her in order to destroy the meteoroid headed for Hoenn. Upon Emerald's request, Zinnia agreed to work alongside the Stones, Joseph and Steven, for a solution to avert the impending apocalypse. Eventually a plan was devised, which involved the Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Frontier Brains, as well as the Draconids, Red, and Green, all standing by at Sootopolis to launch a combined attack towards the meteoroid, while Ruby and Sapphire would ride Rayquaza into space to strike the meteoroid directly. The plan was executed successfully, saving the Hoenn region from yet another disaster.
Origin
Sootopolis City appears to be based on the Greek island of Santorini, also known as Thera.
