A vibrant town that has grown up around an ancient mural tucked away in the mountains. (Japanese: 古代の 芸術を 中心に 栄えてきた 山間の 町A town in the mountains that has flourished around ancient art.)
Places of interest
The upper, northern part of Stow-on-Side consists of a Y-shaped intersection of paths. The Stow-on-Side Stadium sits at the intersection; the western path, up the stairs, leads to the ancient mural; and the eastern path leads to Glimwood Tangle. The lower, southern part of Stow-on-Side consists of a wide market area that houses the bargain shop, valuable item buyer's stall, and a Pokémon Center.
Stow-on-Side Stadium is the town's official Gym. In Pokémon Sword, it is led by the Fighting-typeexpertBea, while in Pokémon Shield, its leader is the Ghost-type expert Allister.
Ancient mural
At the northernmost point of the town, up two flights of stairs, a colorful recreation of an ancient mural covers a large stone wall. During the game's story, Bede attempts to destroy the mural to find Wishing Stars, causing it to collapse. The mural's collapse reveals a hidden chamber that contains statues of Zacian, Zamazenta, and the twin kings of ancient Galar.
Bargain shop
The bargain shop sits just to the west of the Pokémon Center. The shopkeeper will sell the player one item per day for $3,000. If asked, the shopkeeper will also tell the player which item the shop will sell the next day. If the player does not purchase the daily item from the bargain shop, the shop will sell that item the following day for $5,000.
A man next to the bargain shop will buy one valuable item from the player per day at a higher price than what a Poké Mart would offer. The highest purchase price difference — a $17,500 increase from the normal price — is available for a Balm Mushroom, Pearl String, or Comet Shard.
A man sitting on a western building's rooftop will offer to trade the player his HatennaSw/ImpidimpShnicknamed "Fringe"Sw/"Peepers"Sh in exchange for a Maractus.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
After Henry had won his Gym battle in PASS14, the local mural was attacked by Bede, who was searching for Wishing Stars for Chairman Rose. However, Rose soon appeared in person, and, disappointed in Bede's actions, revoked his Gym Challenger status.
