Stow-on-Side (Japanese: ラテラルタウン Lateral Town) is a town situated in the center of the Galar region.

Places of interest

Stow-on-Side Stadium

Main article: Stow-on-Side Stadium

Stow-on-Side Stadium is the site at which the fourth installment in the Galar region's Gym Challenge takes place. It is located in the northern part of the town, up the stairs just before the mural. In Pokémon Sword, Bea is the town's Gym Leader, specializing in Fighting-type Pokémon. The Ghost-type specialist Allister is the Gym Leader in Pokémon Shield. Upon defeating the Gym Leader, the player receives the Fighting Badge in Pokémon Sword and the Ghost Badge in Pokémon Shield.

Ancient mural

At the northernmost point of the town is a large stone wall with a recreation of an ancient mural on it. During the game's story, it collapses due to the damage caused to it by Bede to reveal a hidden chamber containing statues of Zacian, Zamazenta, and the twin kings of ancient Galar.

Bargain shop

The bargain shop keeper will sell the player one item per day for $3,000. He will also tell the player which item he will sell the next day, if asked. Once the player reaches Stow-on-Side for the first time, if the player did not purchase the daily item from the bargain shop on the previous day, he will sell that item for $5,000.

Valuable item buyer

A man next to the bargain shop will buy one valuable item from the player per day at a higher price than what a Poké Mart would offer. The highest gain — $17,500 increase from the normal price — may be achieved by selling a Balm Mushroom, Pearl String, or Comet Shard.
