Location Location of Ever Grande City in Hoenn. | ||||||
Ever Grande City (Japanese: サイユウシティ Saiyu City[1]) is a city located on an island in eastern Hoenn. It is the location of the Hoenn Pokémon League.
The island is bisected by Hoenn's Victory Road, which runs through a large mountain at the center of the island. There are two Pokémon Centers on the island: one south of Victory Road, and one inside the Pokémon League building which is north of Victory Road. Either can be reached by using Fly or by soaring.
With its steep cliffs, it is impossible to reach the city itself without possessing a Pokémon able to scale the high waterfall south of the city. High above the ocean, its slopes are lush with grass and flowers.
Slogan
The paradise of flowers, the sea, and Pokémon. (Japanese: はなとうみとポケモンのらくえん The paradise of flowers, the sea, and Pokémon.)

The player requires many HM moves to pass though Victory Road, and near the exitRSORAS/entranceE, they must also battle Wally.

Pokémon Adventures
In the past, Wallace won the Pokémon League tournament in Ever Grande City and entered the Hall of Fame, but refused the position of Champion in order to succeed his mentor Juan as the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City. Another reason for his refusal was because Winona, whom Wallace was in love with, had become a Gym Leader around the same time, and he wished to be closer to her level by also being a Gym Leader instead of a Champion.
Ruby & Sapphire arc
The Pokémon League first appeared in Bravo, Vibrava as Steven and the Hoenn Elite Four exited the building to depart to Lilycove City.
Ever Grande City was mentioned in The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIII as the site of the Hoenn Pokémon League tournament. Blind boy and Swimmer Jack discussed about how a new rule had been added that made the Elite Four also a part of the League challenge, which meant that only a Trainer capable of winning the tournament, defeating the Elite Four, and beating the current Champion could enter the Hall of Fame and become a new Champion.
Trivia
- This is the only city to host a Pokémon League in the games.
