{{main|Pewter Museum of Science}}
[[File:Pewter Museum of Science HGSS.png|thumb|left|200px|The museum in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
One of Pewter City's main attractions is the famous museum located in the northwestern part of the city. The main building is open to the public for {{PDollar}}50 and features several scientific artifacts.
There are two floors to explore in the Pewter Museum of Science. The first floor holds the front desk and a [[fossil]] exhibit containing the fossils of {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. The second floor hosts a space exhibit, featuring a space shuttle and a large [[Moon Stone]] that fell from space and landed on [[Mt. Moon]]. The {{player}} is able to explore the museum at any time, after paying the admission fee.
Once the ability to use {{m|Cut}} out of battle is gained,{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or after the player's {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} is taught the [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down,{{sup/7|PE}} the player can sneak into the back of the museum and acquire the [[Old Amber]] from a scientist there, allowing the player to revive an Aerodactyl later in the game. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there is also a [[Move Tutor]] who will teach {{m|Seismic Toss}} to one of the player's compatible Pokémon.
The museum is closed for renovations during [[Generation II]]. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, however, the museum is open for business. There is a scientist in the museum who will revive a player's Fossils, much like the scientist at [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Cinnabar Lab]] in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}. This is due to the fact that Fossils can be found under rocks using {{m|Rock Smash}}, unlike in Generation II, where players were required to transfer Fossil {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}} using the [[Time Capsule]].

===Pewter Museum of Science===
The Pewter Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Pewter City. It is based on {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Brock]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that defeat him receive the {{Badge|Boulder}}.
{{main|Pewter Museum of Science}}


A famous museum is located in the northwestern part of town. The main building is open to the public for {{PDollar}}50 and features several historical artifacts, including {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}} fossils, and a model of a space shuttle. The second, smaller building is not accessible by the public, but if the player {{m|Cut}}s through and talks to the scientists there, {{i|Old Amber}} can be obtained and used to resurrect an Aerodactyl on [[Cinnabar Island]].
Other known members include {{tc|Camper}} Jerry, Camper Liam, Brock's father, {{ka|Flint}}, and Brock's mother, [[Lola]].


The museum is closed for renovations in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver]] and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]].
Pewter Gym appears in all {{pkmn|games}} set in the [[Kanto]] region, appearing much the same in each: a small building with a {{wp|Japanese rock garden}} inside, one Trainer, and the Gym Leader Brock waiting on a large stone pedestal. In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Generation III]] remakes, whenever the {{player}} tries to leave Pewter City, a boy will lead them to the front of the Gym if the player has not earned their Boulder Badge yet.

==Signs==
* In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[remake]]s, there's a notice about [[Team Rocket|thieves]] that have been stealing Pokémon [[fossil]]s from [[Mt. Moon]] and to contact Pewter Police with any information to assist them in stopping the troublemakers.
* In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there's a sign that welcomes the player to the city. Also in [[Generation II]], there's a notice about the Gift Shop at the [[Mt. Moon Square]] being now open.
==Demographics==
===Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the population of Pewter City is 28.
===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the population of Pewter City is 18. This decrease is due in part to the closing of the Pewter Museum of Science.
===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the population of Pewter City is 33.
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population is 30. Its decline in population could be due to the Pewter Museum of Science's missing second floor, which was present in FireRed and LeafGreen.

Episodes in Pewter City commonly focus on the Pewter Gym. While its legacy is of a strong Gym "as rough and tough as the stones themselves" was kept under Brock, [[Lola|his mother]] has recently added a brighter colour scheme. The Gym Leader's family lives in a house by the side of the Gym, in which Brock's nine siblings and parents currently reside.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
Pewter City's center features many tall buildings, including a [[Pokémon Center]], which differs from its craggy surroundings. A [[Contest Hall]] is located on the outskirts of the city. Pewter City also serves as one of the locations of the [[Battle Pyramid]]. In the Japanese version of [[EP006]], [[Seymour]] was revealed to work for the Pewter Museum of Science. In addition to Brock, Pewter City is also the [[hometown]] of [[Top Coordinator]] [[Solidad]] and Trainer [[Pete Pebbleman]], who was defeated by Ash during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Pewter City first appeared in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', where {{Ash}} decided to challenge the [[Pewter Gym]] for his first [[Badge]]. After suffering his first loss to {{an|Brock}}, {{ka|Flint}} caught up with Ash and directed him to an old hydroelectric plant located by a dry river bed, where he could charge {{AP|Pikachu}} up with electricity. After charging Pikachu up, Ash returned to the Gym, where Pikachu accidentally set off its sprinkler system, allowing it to win the [[rematch]] against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Despite this, Ash decided to forfeit the match, feeling like he did not deserve to win. Nevertheless, Brock still chose to give him a {{badge|Boulder}}. The Gym was subsequently left under Flint's care while Brock decided to join Ash on his travels.


Around the outskirts of the city, there is a [[Contest Hall]] and one of the locations of the [[Battle Frontier#Battle Pyramid|Battle Pyramid]].
====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', it was revealed that Brock's mother [[Lola]] had recently returned home and added a brighter color scheme to the Gym, while also changing it to a {{type|Water}} Gym. The Gym returned to its heritage {{type|Rock}} theme after Brock defeated his mother in battle.

In [[DPS02]], [[Forrest]] officially became the new Pewter City [[Gym Leader]] after a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] recognized him as a worthy {{pkmn|Trainer}} for the duty.
 
===={{aniseries|JN}}====
The city reappeared in ''[[JN038|Restore and Renew!]]'', when Ash, [[Goh]], and [[Chloe]] visited the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Kanto Route 2 PO.png|thumb|250px|Pewter City in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Pewter City made an appearance in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]''. While visiting the Museum of Science, {{OBP|Red|Origins}} overheard two girls talking about [[Brock]], the local [[Gym Leader]]. When he went to the Gym, he found out that Brock was the same man whom he had encountered earlier, just after losing a battle against {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}.
 
Red then started a Gym battle with Brock, during which the Rock-type Gym Leader gave the beginner Trainer basic advices of strategy, such as those involving {{DL|Type|type effectiveness}}. During the battle, Red came to realize that he and his Pokémon were in the battle together, making them his partners. Eventually, Red was able to defeat Brock, earning the {{badge|Boulder}} and {{TM|34|Bide}}. Afterwards, the young Trainer departed Pewter City, doubly determined to fulfill his quest of completing the [[Pokédex]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Pewter City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Pewter City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Pewter City first appeared ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. After arriving there, {{adv|Red}} learned that the townspeople were trying to catch a [[Pika]]chu, which had been stealing food from the local marketplace. Using his [[Saur|Bulbasaur]]'s {{m|Sleep Powder}}, Red put Pikachu {{status|asleep}} and {{pkmn2|caught}} him without issue. Pikachu did, however, remain [[Obedience|disobedient]] towards him, something that Red's [[rival]], {{adv|Blue}}, mocked him for. He also told Red that he was intending on battling the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Brock]], in order to earn the {{badge|Boulder}} and make his Pokémon stronger, and challenged Red to do the same. However, the local [[Pokémon Center]] had been attacked the previous night, leaving Red's only good choices against {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, Bulbasaur and [[Poli]]whirl, low on [[HP]].
 
In ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'', Red entered the [[Pewter Gym]] just in time to witness Blue winning himself a Boulder Badge. Red used Bulbasaur and Poliwhirl to face and defeat the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, but by the time the battle against Brock came, both of them were too exhausted to continue, forcing Red to use his disobedient Pikachu against [[Brock's Onix]]. Despite the obedience issues and type disadvantage, Pikachu eventually defeated Onix by breaking its body apart, earning Red his own Boulder Badge.
 
Red briefly revisited Pewter City in ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar!]]'' with {{adv|Giovanni}}, whom he had met in [[Diglett's Cave]] and assumed to be just a [[fossil]] collector. Upon arriving in the city, they noticed that the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] had been set on fire by two {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Magmar}}. Red decided to use his recently caught {{p|Sandshrew}} against them, eventually succeeding in immobilizing them with sand. Giovanni gave Red an [[Old Amber]] before parting ways with him, and when the Magmar started moving again, Giovanni had his {{p|Cloyster}} {{status|freeze}} and kill them, revealing his association with [[Team Rocket]] in the process.
 
===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
Starting from ''[[PS065|Karate Machop!]]'', a group of {{p|Machop}} sent by [[Bruno]] attacked Pewter City as part of the [[Elite Four]]'s attack on the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. While Brock fought against them to defend his hometown, he discovered that the Elite Four was after his Badge. Once {{adv|Yellow}} defeated [[Lance]] on [[Cerise Island]], the Pokémon armies attacking Kanto lost their strength and collapsed.
 
[[File:Pewter City PM.png|thumb|left|200px|Pewter City in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Pewter City appeared in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]''. After seeing {{PPM|Green}} getting tossed out of the local Gym, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} became afraid of fighting against Brock's Onix and tried to flee, forcing {{PPM|Red}} to drag him back inside. Once Clefairy found out that his cousin, {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}, was a part of Brock's Pokémon collection, he was infuriated and finally became motivated to battle. Onix was eventually defeated by Clefairy's gag moves, making Red the winner and allowing him to take Pikachu with him.
 
===Pokémon Zensho===
Pewter City appeared in ''[[PS05|Pewter City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} challenged Brock at the Pewter Gym. Despite Brock's Onix having an advantage over {{zensho|Satoshi's Charmander}}, Satoshi eventually won by having Charmander chop off Onix's horn, earning him the Boulder Badge.

==Trivia==
* [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Rustboro City]] are very similar to Pewter City. Their geographic locations in their respective [[region]]s are remarkably similar, as well as being only accessible through a forest early in the game. Rustboro is, however, the most like Pewter in that both cities are the second city visited with a [[Gym]], but first to be beat by the {{player}}. Both Pewter and Rustboro's Gyms specialize in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and play a role in the player obtaining [[Fossil]] Pokémon.
** [[Oreburgh City]] is also very similar to Pewter City, as they are both surrounded by mountains, both of their [[Gym]]s specialize in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and they both contain a museum. [[Nacrene City]] is also similar, as it is near a forest and has a museum; however, unlike Pewter City, [[Goldenrod City]] and Rustboro City, Nacrene City comes ''before'' a forest, not ''after''.
* If the player enters "''[[Mystery Gift#Generation III|Mystery Event Is Exciting]]''" to the girl asking for the player's profile in the [[Pokémon Center]], she will mention that her cousin used to say that a lot, referring to the man in the Pokémon Center of [[Petalburg City]] who asks for the player's profile in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, if the player tries to deposit the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of the game in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] or view its stats while it is asleep from {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s song, the game will not allow this, yielding the message "There isn't any response..." (Japanese: あれ? いない⋯ ''Eh? There's no one...'')
** In Pokémon Yellow, if Pikachu is asleep because of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s song, the player will be unable to use the [[Link Cable]] features. In this case, the Link Cable attendant simply says her original preparation message: "Welcome to the Cable Club! We're making preparations. Please wait."
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, when the player accesses the [[Help System]], Jigglypuff's song stops.
* In the English [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, [[Roxanne]] says that the Pewter City Gym is the flagship of all the Rock-type Gyms.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the NPC with a {{p|Butterfree}} mentions that her Butterfree is female, but it lacks the {{DL|List of Pokémon with gender differences|Generation I|black spots on its lower wings}}.

Pewter City (Japanese: ニビシティ Nibi City) is a city located in northwestern Kanto. The most notable resident of the city is Brock, a Rock-type expert and the Leader of the Pewter Gym.

The city has two exits. To the east is Route 3, leading to Route 4 and Mt. Moon. To the south is Route 2, leading to Viridian City.

Places of interest

Pewter Museum of Science

Main article: Pewter Museum of Science
The museum in HeartGold and SoulSilver

One of Pewter City's main attractions is the famous museum located in the northwestern part of the city. The main building is open to the public for $50 and features several scientific artifacts.

There are two floors to explore in the Pewter Museum of Science. The first floor holds the front desk and a fossil exhibit containing the fossils of Aerodactyl and Kabutops. The second floor hosts a space exhibit, featuring a space shuttle and a large Moon Stone that fell from space and landed on Mt. Moon. The player is able to explore the museum at any time, after paying the admission fee.

Once the ability to use Cut out of battle is gained,RBYFRLG or after the player's Partner Pokémon is taught the Secret Technique Chop Down,PE the player can sneak into the back of the museum and acquire the Old Amber from a scientist there, allowing the player to revive an Aerodactyl later in the game. In FireRed and LeafGreen, there is also a Move Tutor who will teach Seismic Toss to one of the player's compatible Pokémon.

The museum is closed for renovations during Generation II. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, however, the museum is open for business. There is a scientist in the museum who will revive a player's Fossils, much like the scientist at Cinnabar Island's Cinnabar Lab in Generations I, III, and VII. This is due to the fact that Fossils can be found under rocks using Rock Smash, unlike in Generation II, where players were required to transfer Fossil Pokémon from the Generation I games using the Time Capsule.

Pewter Gym

Main article: Pewter Gym

The Pewter Gym is the official Gym of Pewter City. It is based on Rock-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Brock. Trainers that defeat him receive the Boulder Badge.

Other known members include Camper Jerry, Camper Liam, Brock's father, Flint, and Brock's mother, Lola.

Pewter Gym appears in all games set in the Kanto region, appearing much the same in each: a small building with a Japanese rock garden inside, one Trainer, and the Gym Leader Brock waiting on a large stone pedestal. In the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, whenever the player tries to leave Pewter City, a boy will lead them to the front of the Gym if the player has not earned their Boulder Badge yet.

Demographics

Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow

In Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, the population of Pewter City is 28.

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the population of Pewter City is 18. This decrease is due in part to the closing of the Pewter Museum of Science.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the population of Pewter City is 33.

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the population is 30. Its decline in population could be due to the Pewter Museum of Science's missing second floor, which was present in FireRed and LeafGreen.

Pinball Red Pewter City.png

In Pokémon Pinball, Pewter City appears on the Red table. Catchable Pokémon include Pidgey, Spearow, Ekans, Jigglypuff, and Magikarp.

In animation

Pokémon the Series

Pewter City's center features many tall buildings, including a Pokémon Center, which differs from its craggy surroundings. A Contest Hall is located on the outskirts of the city. Pewter City also serves as one of the locations of the Battle Pyramid. In the Japanese version of EP006, Seymour was revealed to work for the Pewter Museum of Science. In addition to Brock, Pewter City is also the hometown of Top Coordinator Solidad and Trainer Pete Pebbleman, who was defeated by Ash during the Indigo Plateau Conference.

Pokémon the Series: The Beginning

Pewter City first appeared in Showdown in Pewter City, where Ash decided to challenge the Pewter Gym for his first Badge. After suffering his first loss to Brock, Flint caught up with Ash and directed him to an old hydroelectric plant located by a dry river bed, where he could charge Pikachu up with electricity. After charging Pikachu up, Ash returned to the Gym, where Pikachu accidentally set off its sprinkler system, allowing it to win the rematch against Onix. Despite this, Ash decided to forfeit the match, feeling like he did not deserve to win. Nevertheless, Brock still chose to give him a Boulder Badge. The Gym was subsequently left under Flint's care while Brock decided to join Ash on his travels.

Pokémon Chronicles

In A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!, it was revealed that Brock's mother Lola had recently returned home and added a brighter color scheme to the Gym, while also changing it to a Water-type Gym.

Pokémon Origins

Pewter City in Pokémon Origins

Pewter City made an appearance in File 1: Red. While visiting the Museum of Science, Red overheard two girls talking about Brock, the local Gym Leader. When he went to the Gym, he found out that Brock was the same man whom he had encountered earlier, just after losing a battle against Blue.

Red then started a Gym battle with Brock, during which the Rock-type Gym Leader gave the beginner Trainer basic advices of strategy, such as those involving type effectiveness. During the battle, Red came to realize that he and his Pokémon were in the battle together, making them his partners. Eventually, Red was able to defeat Brock, earning the Boulder Badge and TM34 (Bide). Afterwards, the young Trainer departed Pewter City, doubly determined to fulfill his quest of completing the Pokédex.

Red, Green & Blue arc

Pewter City first appeared Wanted: Pikachu!. After arriving there, Red learned that the townspeople were trying to catch a Pikachu, which had been stealing food from the local marketplace. Using his Bulbasaur's Sleep Powder, Red put Pikachu asleep and caught him without issue. Pikachu did, however, remain disobedient towards him, something that Red's rival, Blue, mocked him for. He also told Red that he was intending on battling the local Gym Leader, Brock, in order to earn the Boulder Badge and make his Pokémon stronger, and challenged Red to do the same. However, the local Pokémon Center had been attacked the previous night, leaving Red's only good choices against Rock Pokémon, Bulbasaur and Poliwhirl, low on HP.

In Onix Is On!, Red entered the Pewter Gym just in time to witness Blue winning himself a Boulder Badge. Red used Bulbasaur and Poliwhirl to face and defeat the Gym Trainers, but by the time the battle against Brock came, both of them were too exhausted to continue, forcing Red to use his disobedient Pikachu against Brock's Onix. Despite the obedience issues and type disadvantage, Pikachu eventually defeated Onix by breaking its body apart, earning Red his own Boulder Badge.

Red briefly revisited Pewter City in Make Way For Magmar! with Giovanni, whom he had met in Diglett's Cave and assumed to be just a fossil collector. Upon arriving in the city, they noticed that the Pewter Museum of Science had been set on fire by two wild Magmar. Red decided to use his recently caught Sandshrew against them, eventually succeeding in immobilizing them with sand. Giovanni gave Red an Old Amber before parting ways with him, and when the Magmar started moving again, Giovanni had his Cloyster freeze and kill them, revealing his association with Team Rocket in the process.

Yellow arc

Starting from Karate Machop!, a group of Machop sent by Bruno attacked Pewter City as part of the Elite Four's attack on the Kanto region. While Brock fought against them to defend his hometown, he discovered that the Elite Four was after his Badge. Once Yellow defeated Lance on Cerise Island, the Pokémon armies attacking Kanto lost their strength and collapsed.

Pokémon Pocket Monsters

Pewter City appeared in Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!. After seeing Green getting tossed out of the local Gym, Clefairy became afraid of fighting against Brock's Onix and tried to flee, forcing Red to drag him back inside. Once Clefairy found out that his cousin, Pikachu, was a part of Brock's Pokémon collection, he was infuriated and finally became motivated to battle. Onix was eventually defeated by Clefairy's gag moves, making Red the winner and allowing him to take Pikachu with him.

Pokémon Zensho

Pewter City appeared in Pewter City, where Satoshi challenged Brock at the Pewter Gym. Despite Brock's Onix having an advantage over Satoshi's Charmander, Satoshi eventually won by having Charmander chop off Onix's horn, earning him the Boulder Badge.
