Undella Town (Japanese: サザナミタウンSazanami Town) is a town in the east of the Unova region. To the south of Undella Town is Route 14.
Caitlin of the Elite Four owns a villa in the town where Sinnoh LeagueChampionCynthia stays during the spring and summer. She can be battled once regardless of the season, and can afterwards be battled once a day during spring. The female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members will often visit her during summer and spring, respectively.
Outside of summer, this town has very few people and almost looks deserted; the villas are all empty. However, during summer, the villas in the town are all occupied by vacationists. One of the vacationists states that he came there from the far away region of Hoenn. Undella Town's sea is the people's favorite during this hot season.
Upon visiting Undella Town, the player will see Draco outside the Riches' villa. After accepting his challenge and defeating him in battle, he will show the player inside, then tell the player to come back the next day. If he or she does, and defeats Draco again, Susan will enter the Villa and immediately challenge the player. Doing this the next day will cause Clairdonna to appear, then Zillion, and so on. After defeating Miles, the family will not accept any more challenges.
Cynthia, the Champion of the Sinnoh region, appears in Caitlin's villa and remains until she is battled, after which she will be present during spring and summer, and can be battled once per day in spring. During the spring, Shauntal and/or Caitlin may be found in the villa, visiting. During the summer, Lenora, Iris, Elesa and/or Skyla may be found in the villa.
Unlike some other towns, where singular instrument tracks are added to the background theme in certain circumstances, Undella Town has two different themes depending on the season. In summer, a lively calypso tune is used; in autumn, winter, and spring, a mellow synth-led arrangement is used.
