The '''Power Plant''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|無人発電所|むじんはつでんしょ}}''' ''Abandoned Power Plant'' in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, '''{{tt|発電所|はつでんしょ}}''' ''Power Plant'' in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}), occasionally referred to as the '''Kanto Power Plant''' (Japanese: '''カントーはつでんしょ''' ''Kanto Power Plant'') in Generations II and IV, is a facility located on {{rt|10|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]].

==Description==

The Power Plant was abandoned years before the events of the [[Generation I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}} games, though some of the machinery still works. It was refurbished at some time before Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}} to provide power for the [[Magnet Train]]. In Generations I, III, and VII, it is a home for {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. {{m|Surf}}ing{{sup/1}}{{sup/2}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} or [[Secret Technique|Sea Skimming]]{{sup/7|PE}} from {{rt|10|Kanto}} is required to reach it.

It is the roost of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zapdos}} in Generations I, III, VII.

==Differences between generations==

===Generations I, III, and VII===

The Power Plant is littered with machinery that has fallen into disrepair. Many of the changes throughout the three generations are simply cosmetic, the most notable one being Generation III changing the exit in Zapdos's room to lead to the side of the Power Plant instead of back to the entrance, and Generation VII having no back exit in the room and instead having a [[warp tile|warp panel]] that leads to the entrance. The background music differs among generations. In Generation I, the BGM is the same as the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]] and [[Cerulean Cave]]; in Generation III, it instead plays the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}'s theme; and in Generation VII, it plays the theme of the [[Silph Co.]]

===Main series===

The Kanto Power Plant appeared in ''[[JN040|A Crackling Raid Battle!]]''. In the anime, it is an unmanned facility located near [[Vermilion City]], which provides the [[Cerise Laboratory]] with electricity. When [[Professor Cerise]] detected signs of a {{p|Zapdos}} appearing at Vermilion Port, [[Goh]] deduced that the thunderclouds Professor Cerise had detected were not surrounding Zapdos, but were just being created by it. Following this deduction, he led {{Ash}} to the Power Plant, where they encountered {{TRT}}, who had been scouting the building as a potential base and was surprised to learn that Zapdos could be there too.

Goh's deduction turned out to be correct, and the group found Zapdos absorbing energy from the Power Plant's generator. They engaged the [[Legendary Pokémon]] in a {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}, but when Zapdos headed outside, Team Rocket stopped Ash from following Goh to the roof in an attempt to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}. Goh battled Zapdos with {{TP|Goh|Raboot}} and {{TP|Goh|Flygon}}, but despite managing to land some hits on it, he ultimately failed to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it like he had hoped.

===Pokémon Origins===

[[File:Kanto Power Plant Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The Power Plant in Pokémon Adventures]]

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Power Plant is a building project that was never completed. The industrial waste from the construction site has affected the lives of many Pokémon living in the surrounding areas, including on {{rt|9|Kanto}}, where the waste has killed off most of the local plant life, sending many Pokémon wandering around in search for food.

 

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====

In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', [[Team Rocket]] Commander [[Lt. Surge]] reported to {{adv|Giovanni}} that he had {{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Zapdos}} at the Power Plant.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====

In ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]'', {{adv|Blue}} revealed how he had encountered [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]] at the Power Plant before the start of the [[Indigo Plateau]]'s [[Pokémon League]] tournament.

 

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===

{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} visited the Power Plant in ''[[PM017|Regain the Deserted Power Plant!]]''. Like many places that he visits, the Power Plant ended up being destroyed by [[Red's Clefairy]].
