The Power Plant (Japanese: むじんはつでんしょ Abandoned Power Plant), 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 Route 10 in Kanto.
In the games
The Power Plant was abandoned years before the events of the Generation I games, though some of the machinery still works. It was refurbished at some time between Generations I and II to provide power for the Magnet Train. It became a home for Electric-type Pokémon when it was abandoned. Surfing from Route 10 is required to reach it.
Many item balls located inside of the Power Plant are actually Voltorb or Electrode, making it somewhat hazardous to look for treasure here.
It is the only known roost of the legendary Pokémon, Zapdos, in the core series.
- In the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, it will be inside the Power Plant and catchable as soon as the player is able to use Surf outside of battle.
- In the Generation II games, it is no longer found here, making it completely unobtainable without trading from the Generation I games.
- In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it appears outside of the Power Plant after all sixteen Badges of Kanto and Johto have been obtained.
Grimer and Muk can be found here in Pokémon Yellow, a direct reference to the anime episode Sparks Fly for Magnemite, where Grimer and Muk take over a power plant in Gringey City.

Differences between generations
Generations I and III
The Power Plant is littered with machinery that has fallen into disrepair. Many of the changes between these two generations are simply cosmetic.
Generation II
The inside is reduced drastically, and is taken up by scientists working at various computers as well as in a separate generator room. The wild Pokémon found here in Generation I instead reside outside, while Zapdos has apparently fled.
Generation IV
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the inside is redesigned yet again to be a single room, with the generator in the middle and the scientists at their computers spread around the room. Wild Pokémon reside outside like in Generation II, including Zapdos, which returns after the Machine Part is restored.
