A farming town since days of old, where people and their Pokémon live in close harmony. (Japanese: 昔から 牧場を 営み ポケモンたちと ともに暮らす 町A farming town since days of old, where people and Pokémon live together.)
Hop and Leon live here with their parents and grandparents. After fetching Leon from Wedgehurst, the Champion will give the player and Hop their starter Pokémon at the front yard.
After the player become the new Champion, Leon will leave a Poké Ball containing a Charmander on the floor in his room on the second floor with a letter. This Charmander can Gigantamax once it evolves into Charizard.
Demographics
Postwick's population is 5 (not counting the player, Hop and Leon), likely owing to its lack of amenities such as a stadium or Pokémon Center and its relative isolation. This makes it the smallest town in Galar, as well as the entire Pokémon world.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Postwick appeared in Buddy, where Hop's Wooloo ran away from home and subsequently began exploring the town. Later, Hop ran across the town, asking people if they had seen Wooloo.
Postwick briefly appeared in a flashback in Ooh Shiny!! Legendary Equipment. One year before the events of the chapter, Henry had traveled through the town towards the Slumbering Weald in the hopes of seeing the legendary Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield. As he approached the gate leading to the forest, he saw something falling from the sky and into the forest. Casey then appeared, bashing through the gate with her Pokémon. She had recognized the falling objects as Wishing Stars and wanted to get her hands on them. With both of their objectives lying inside the forest, the two Trainers entered it together.
Trivia
