The Silph Company (Japanese: シルフカンパニー Silph Company) is a company featured in many versions of the Pokémon franchise. They are the manufacturers of many tools, including the Silph Scope—a device that allows the user to view spectral entities—as well as home appliances. Their headquarters are located in Saffron City. They are also speculated to run the Poké Marts in Kanto as well as in Johto and the Sevii Islands.

In FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a Move Tutor at the Silph Company headquarters who will teach the move Thunder Wave to a Pokémon.

Company information

A Silph Co. Master Ball

Overview

Silph Co. is the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology. This company develops the most commercially used Poké Balls and several other Pokémon-related items, including medicine and Technical Machines, looking for ways to improve them. It supplies the Poké Marts of its territory. Its president is a kind, old man.

History

Silph's status had made it a target of Team Rocket, which in Generation I and III, orchestrated the takeover of their headquarters in Saffron City. The situation will be resolved by the player, who will take on the mission of driving them out of the city. Team Rocket had also gained the Silph Co.-made Silph Scope to combat ghosts. It is revealed by the company's president that the top-secret development project Team Rocket was after is the Master Ball, which can catch any Pokémon without fail.

Headquarters

The Silph Co. Office Building, based in Saffron City, is an eleven-floor skyscraper that is effectively a giant maze.

The sign outside the building merely reveals its name and has remained consistent throughout the generations.

Generations I and III

In Generations I and III, the player can navigate on the inside of the building by using warp tiles in order to reach the board room on the top floor. The player must find the Card Key, which unlocks Silph's doors like a hotel key, on the fifth floor of the building in order to do this. All the while, the player must battle through numerous Team Rocket Grunts, including the Rocket Brothers, and one Juggler, who is curiously also part of Team Rocket. Several Scientists have also defected to Team Rocket, sometimes pretending to be hostages, and will battle the player on sight. The bed at the bottom-left corner of the ninth floor can be used to heal the Trainer's Pokémon without having to leave the building.

Then the player must return to the third floor, open the doors in the center-left of the floor, and use the warp tile to the far left to be taken to the room with a further warp tile that leads to board room. The player's rival waits in that room and must be defeated before continuing on. After he has been beaten, the other person in the room will give the player a Lapras, an extremely rare Pokémon that cannot be obtained any other way in Generation I.

After this, the player may continue on to the board room to face Giovanni and assure that the plans for the Master Ball are not stolen. After rescuing Silph, the player is free to explore the building and talk to the employees.

Generations II and IV

A Silph Co. Pokégear, bearing the company's logo

In Generations II and IV, Silph Co. has increased security, and the player is not allowed to enter the upper floors. One of the guards will kindly give the player an Up-Grade for talking to him.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the elevator has broken and is unsafe, denying the player access to the upper floors. However, upon defeating Red, the player may obtain one of the Hoenn region's starter Pokémon from Hoenn Champion, Steven Stone. He will also trade his Beldum for a Forretress.

Generation IV introduced a logo for the company that appears on the Pokégear and has a statue based on it in the company's building.

Rotom's Room

Main article: Rotom's Room

The alternate forms of Rotom may also be accessed here in Generation IV via the broken elevator. When Rotom is in the party, the Silph Co. building will be deserted of all people, including Steven. The notebook present in the room indicates that Charon may have had a past connection to the company.

Silph Co. in Pokémon Origins

In Pokémon Origins

Silph Co. appeared in the episode File 3 - Giovanni of the Pokémon Origins mini-series. Like in the games, it was taken over by Team Rocket. Hearing from Silph Co.'s vice-president of how Team Rocket was experimenting on Pokémon in order to accelarate the completion of Master Ball, Red decided to storm the building. Doing so, he freed all the Pokémon and Scientists that were trapped inside, even obtaining a Lapras in the process. Finally he arrived at the president's office, where he encountered Giovanni. Before Giovanni could escape, Red proclaimed that he would always be out there to stop their plans, irritating the Team Rocket Boss. Wanting to teach Red a lesson, Giovanni challenged Red to a Pokémon battle, which ended with Giovanni's Nidoqueen defeating Red's Charizard and wrecking a big portion of the building in the process. Afterwards, Giovanni escaped with a helicopter, leaving before the police could arrive. It was also mentioned that the development of Master Ball was put on hold for a while due to this incident.

In the manga

Silph Co. in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Silph Co. made a brief appearance at the end of Holy Moltres in the Red, Green & Blue arc, where Sabrina was in the office with Giovanni saying that they have captured all the legendary birds. Later, the Pokédex holders battled against the evil Gym Leaders and Thu-Fi-Zer in there, and defeated them, causing the building to collapse and freeing the legendary birds in the process. Two years later in Ponyta Tale, Agatha picked up the Badge Amplifier that was buried in the rubble for usage at Cerise Island.

Silph Co. in Pokémon Zensho

In the Pokémon Zensho manga

Silph Co. was seen in Saffron City. After hearing from the Dojo Master that the Gym Leader Sabrina's talking Psychic Lapras had been stolen by Team Rocket and taken to the Silph Co., Satoshi infiltrated the building, where he soon found Sabrina, who had just found her Lapras. Satoshi and Sabrina decided to team up against Team Rocket, and used Sabrina's teleporting powers to reach the top floor, where Giovanni was keeping the Silp Co.'s president as hostage. After defeating Giovanni's Nidoqueen with Lapras, Satoshi obtained the Master Ball from Silph Co.'s president and the Marsh Badge from Sabrina as a thanks for his help.

In Super Smash Bros.

Silph Co. in Super Smash Bros.

Silph Co. appears in Saffron City as a playable stage in Super Smash Bros.. The battle takes place on the roof of Silph Co. and a few smaller surrounding buildings, along with two small moving platforms. This is the home stage of Pikachu and Jigglypuff in the game.

Certain Pokémon will emerge from the elevator on the Silph Co. building and attack briefly, similar to Pokémon summoned from Poké Balls. Occasionally, Pidgey, Fearow, Butterfree, and other Flying-type Pokémon will appear in the background.

Trivia

• In Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen, when the player encounters Scientist Taylor before battle, he says that he was shipped off to the Tiksi branch of the company. After being defeated, he claims it to be in Russian no-man's-land. In reality, it is in Russia's Sakha Republic, Siberia. This is another reference to the real world in Pokémon games and proves that Silph has international branches in addition to the ones in locations other than Saffron City. In the original Japanese versions, he instead refers to the branch as being in Ponaya Tunguska (Japanese: ポナヤツングスカ), also in Russia, instead. This is a likely reference to the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Russia.
• On the eleventh floor there is an accessible PC. This is likely here either to allow the player to deposit an extra item to get the Master Ball if their Bag is full or to allow the player to put Lapras straight into their party after obtaining it if their party is full.
• Though a logo for the company was not introduced in-game until Generation IV, several possible logos have been seen in previous games. One appeared on the side of the Silph Co. building in Super Smash Bros. (see above), another appeared on the original Pokégear artwork as a stylized 'S' and a third one can be seen on the Time Capsule; however, none of them is truly confirmed to be the company's logo.
• Silph Co. has the most traversable floors of any building in the Pokémon world.
• According to Maisy, her father works for Silph.

Name origin

Silph Co.'s name is a corruption of Sylph, a mythological creature.
