The Pokémon Lab (Japanese: ポケモンけんきゅうじょ Pokémon Laboratory) is a facility located on Cinnabar Island.

In the games

It was founded by Dr. Fuji (Japanese: フジはかせ Dr. Fuji), the title held by Mr. Fuji in his youth.

It only appears in the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen due to it being destroyed along the rest of Cinnabar Island prior to the events of the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. As fossils are obtainable in HeartGold and SoulSilver and the lab is no longer present, players must revive them at the Pewter Museum of Science instead.

According to a report found in Silph Co., Porygon was created by the lab.

Hall

The hall has a large reception area and a path to the right which provides access to three rooms.

In the reception area, there is a portrait of Dr. Fuji. The player is surprised upon reading the name, indicating familiarity.

Rooms

In the first room of the Pokémon Lab, there are two people who will offer to trade Pokémon.

• In the Japanese Pokémon Red and Green, international Pokémon Red and Blue, and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the old man will offer his Electrode for the player's Raichu, while the girl will want to trade her Tangela for the player's Venonat.
• In the Japanese Pokémon Blue, he will offer a Graveler for the player's Kadabra, with the girl offering a Slowpoke for the player's Seel.
• In Pokémon Yellow, the old man offers his Golduck for the player's Rhydon and the girl offers her Growlithe for the player's Dewgong.

In the second room, there is a man who is interested in Metronome. In the Generation I games, he gives away TM35 (Metronome). In FireRed and LeafGreen, he is a Move Tutor for the move instead.

In the third room, there is a scientist who will revive the fossils the player obtained at Mt. Moon and Pewter Museum of Science. After giving him the fossil, the player must leave the lab and return to claim their fossil Pokémon. There is also a third in-game trade here: Seel for a Ponyta in the Japanese Red and Green, international Red and Blue, and FireRed and LeafGreen; a Krabby for a Growlithe in the Japanese Blue; and Muk for Kangaskhan in Yellow.
