|mapdesc=A beautiful city with flowing water and blooming flowers.

The city is one of only two cities in [[Kanto]] to have four different [[route]]s enter the city, the other being [[Saffron City]]. Cerulean is a mid-sized city with a few attractions, including the [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] and the [[Berry Powder]] man.

In Pokémon Yellow, this house belongs to [[Melanie]]. She is taking care of an {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Bulbasaur}}. If the player's [[friendship]] with the [[Red's Pikachu (game)|starter Pikachu]] is 147 or higher, she will offer to give the player her Bulbasaur.

===In Pokémon Pinball===

===In the main series===

Cerulean City first appeared in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where {{Ash}} decided to challenge the [[Cerulean Gym]]. At the Gym, he found out that {{Gary}} and the other two Trainers from [[Pallet Town]] had already beaten the Gym. As their only remaining Pokémon after those challengers was a {{p|Goldeen}}, [[the Sensational Sisters]] were ready to give Ash the {{badge|Cascade}} without a {{pkmn|battle}}, until {{an|Misty}} appeared, revealing herself to be one of the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]s as well. Ash and Misty started a Gym battle, but just when Ash was about to win, {{TRT}} busted their way into Gym, interrupting the battle. After Team Rocket had been defeated, the Sensational Sisters decided to give Ash the Cascade Badge as thanks for saving the Gym.

Cerulean City made a reappearance in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', where Misty reluctantly agreed to help her sisters in a new underwater ballet performance. However, in the middle of the act, Team Rocket appeared again, once more trying to steal the Gym's Pokémon. A battle between Ash and company and Team Rocket ensued, during which Cerulean Gym's {{p|Seel}} evolved into a {{OBP|Dewgong|Cerulean Gym}}. Once the situation was solved and Ash and company prepared to leave, Misty left her {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} at the Gym, the latter due to her sisters' request.

Cerulean City was also featured in the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episodes ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'', ''[[SS005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]'', ''[[SS011|A Date With Delcatty]]'', and ''[[SS016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', which mostly focused on the Cerulean Gym and Misty. In ''A Date With Delcatty'', Cerulean City was revealed to have a container port, the Cerulean Marine Stadium, and a lighthouse.

Ash, {{ashcl}}, Misty, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Professor Kukui]] visited Cerulean City in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'' to visit the Cerulean Gym and teach Ash's [[Alola]]n friends about [[Gym]]s and [[Pokémon League]]s. To experience a Gym battle, {{an|Mallow}} and {{an|Lana}} had an unofficial Gym battle against Brock, while {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Sophocles}} had a battle against Misty. After these battles had been called off with no clear winner, {{an|Kiawe}} requested to have a serious battle against Brock, while Ash issued a similar challenge to Misty. During these battles, Brock and Misty demonstrated their new ability to use [[Mega Evolution]] by Mega Evolving their {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} and {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}, respectively. Kiawe lost his battle against Brock, while Ash managed to defeat Misty.

The {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}} is also located near Cerulean City.

===In Pokémon Origins===

[[File:Cerulean City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Cerulean City in Pokémon Adventures]]

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Cerulean City was first featured in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'' as the place where [[Misty]]'s mansion and the [[Cerulean Gym]] are located. Its streets surround a canal full of boats, resembling {{wp|Venice}}. {{adv|Red}} and Misty trained at the Gym together for a while in order to be able to fight [[Team Rocket]] more effectively.

In the {{chap|Yellow}}, Cerulean City was attacked by an army of {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon, sent there by [[Agatha]]. Misty, while protecting her Gym, found out that the [[Elite Four]] were after her Badge. After {{adv|Yellow}} defeated [[Lance]] at [[Cerise Island]], the Ghost army lost all of its strength.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===

Cerulean City appeared in ''[[PZ03|Cerulean City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} visited the city. Shortly after his arrival, he saved the bike shop from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}, before heading to the Gym. However, before Satoshi could even properly start a battle with Misty, another Team Rocket Grunt attacked the Gym with a {{p|Gyarados}}. Satoshi defeated the Gyarados, receiving a {{badge|Cascade}} from Misty as thanks.

** In {{game|Yellow}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the girl owns an {{p|Electrode}} instead, commanding it to use either {{m|Tackle}}, SonicBoom, or {{m|Swift}}, all being moves that Electrode can learn.

* In Generation II, Cerulean City shares its music with {{ci|Viridian}}, {{ci|Pewter}}, and {{ci|Saffron}}, instead of [[Fuchsia City]], like in all other games.
