Places of interest

Dewford Hall

Dewford Hall is located north of thePokémon Center, and is the northernmost building in the town. A sign outside reads:

Although it is a tiny island community, if someone says something "trendy" there, it quickly spreads throughout the rest of Hoenn. Dewford Town is famous for these fads. Trendy phrases are usually passed around in Dewford Hall, called "Everyone's information exchange!" There is a boy just outside Dewford Hall that lets the player change the "trendy" phrase and people in Dewford Hall will be influenced by the trend. Changing this affects whereFeebas appears inRoute 119. If the player returns to Dewford Hall after collecting theBalance Badge, a dark haired man with glasses will appear near the entrance and proclaim that he loves Sludge Bomb and then he will give the playerTM36 (Sludge Bomb).

Dewford Gym

Main article:Dewford Gym

Pokémon the Series

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

Dewford Island appeared fromSharpedo Attack! toJust One of the Geysers. Its main settlement, Dewford Town, features a three-tieredPokémon Center and theDewford Gym.Ash sought to obtain theKnuckle Badge fromBrawly, but failed in his first attempt inBrave the Wave. He remained on the island for a lengthy period of time, which he spenttraining, and finally defeated the Gym Leader inJust One of the Geysers. The rematch took place on Brawly's own practice field, a rocky island connected to Dewford Island by a land bridge revealed during low tide.

InA Three Team Scheme!, Dewford Island was revealed to have an ancient shrine, hidden in a cavern and surrounded by water, which bothTeam Magma andTeam Aqua initially mistook for theCave of Origin.

During Ash's training on Dewford Island,May's Wurmple evolved intoSilcoon and eventuallyBeautifly, he andhis friends met up withSteven Stone inGranite Cave, and hecaught aCorphish, whileBrock caught aMudkip. During this time, Ash and his friends also spent some time withProfessor Birch.

The island's sandy shores and warm waters make it an ideal surf and fishing spot. However, these same waters are home to sharp rocks and hordes of viciousCarvanha andSharpedo. It also features many other environments, including forests, lakes, and caves.

Aside from Brawly, Dewford Island's other residents include a Mudkip raiser namedOld Man Swamp,Keanu, andShauna.

Dewford Town first appeared inBlowing Past Nosepass II, withSteven being informed of theSubmarine Explorer 1's near-completion as he was heading to investigateGranite Cave.

InStick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt! II,Ruby andSapphire arrived in Dewford Town at the same time, with Ruby sailing aboardMr. Briney's boat and Sapphire riding on herWailord, Lorry. Both of them then headed to Granite Cave, Ruby to search for aMilotic and Sapphire to train for her match withBrawly. InMashing Makuhita, Sapphire challenged Brawly at theDewford Gym,eventually emerging victorious and earning herself theKnuckle Badge. Sapphire soon reunited with Ruby again, who told her how he had met Steven Stone in the cave. As she was supposed to deliver aletter fromMr. Stone to Steven, Sapphire immediately gave chase, dragging Ruby along as well.

InThe Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon III, Dewford Town was revealed to have been flooded followingKyogre's awakening.

Trivia

• Dewford Town shares similarities withCianwood City. Both locations are on an island to the southwest of their respective regions, and neither one has aPoké Mart. Also, the Gym Leaders of both locations specialize inFighting-type Pokémon.
  • Additionally, it is one of the three locations inHoenn without a Poké Mart;Littleroot Town andPacifidlog Town being the other two.
• InPokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it is possible to strand a player in Dewford Town and the surrounding area of land, by first healing the party at DewfordPokémon Center, then defeatingNorman beforeblacking out or usingTeleport without acquiringHM03 (Surf) or healing at a different Pokémon Center.Pokémon Emerald prevents this by having the player immediately acquire HM03 after obtaining theBalance Badge.
• InPokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there's a calendar in one of the houses that features a popular fanmade map of thePokémon world.
