Almia Castle (Japanese: アルミアのおしろ Almia Castle) is a location in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. It is only accessible through the Ice Lake to the south; the player must successfully capture an Empoleon and traverse the lake to gain access. The player is ordered to the castle to research the Tears of Princes. Upon arrival, the player encounters Team Dim Sun, who are trying to steal the Blue Gem, which is guarded by Lucario. To get to Lucario, the ranger must capture two Riolu. The castle has a place in Almian mythology. As described in folktales, this was where the King of Almia lived, along with his son in blue, after the red and yellow sons were banished to Volcano Cave and Hippowdon Temple respectively. In the quest Mischievous Sneasel, the player may capture a Sneasel. Once it is captured, it joins the Partner Farm.
