Dewford Town (Japanese: ムロタウンMuro Town) is located on an island southwest of mainland Hoenn. Dewford houses a dock, providing transportation between Route 104 and Route 109. The player can visit this town only after Mr. Briney's Peeko is rescued. The island town is home to Brawly, the Dewford Gym Leader who specializes in Fighting-typePokémon. Unlike other towns, Dewford does not offer a Poké Mart.
To the north of Dewford Town, on Route 106, is Granite Cave, a popular spot for rock collectors.
A tiny island in the blue sea. (Japanese: あおい うみに うかぶ ちいさな しまA tiny island in the blue sea.)
Places of interest
Dewford Hall
Dewford Hall is located north of the Pokémon Center, and is the northernmost building in the town. A sign outside reads:
DEWFORD HALL
"Everyone's information exchange!"
Although it is a tiny island community, if someone says something "trendy" there, it quickly spreads throughout the rest of Hoenn. Dewford Town is famous for these fads. Trendy phrases are usually passed around in Dewford Hall, called "Everyone's information exchange!" There is a boy just outside Dewford Hall that lets the player change the "trendy" phrase and people in Dewford Hall will be influenced by the trend. Changing this affects where Feebas appears in Route 119. If the player returns to Dewford Hall after collecting the Balance Badge, a dark haired man with glasses will appear near the entrance and proclaim that he loves Sludge Bomb and then he will give the player TM36 (Sludge Bomb).
Dewford Gym is located in the southernmost portion of Dewford, south of the pier and the Pokémon Center. The sign outside reads:
DEWFORD TOWN POKéMON GYM LEADER: BRAWLY
"A big wave in fighting!"
The Gym is run by Brawly who specializes in Fighting-typePokémon. Many citizens look up to Brawly and idolize him. Trainers who defeat him receive the Knuckle Badge. The Gym is a dark maze in which only little light is given. If the players battle the Gym Trainers, more light is awarded to the player. Once the player defeats Brawly, the Gym is fully illuminated.
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.

Dewford Island appeared from Sharpedo Attack! to Just One of the Geysers. Its main settlement, Dewford Town, features a three-tiered Pokémon Center and the Dewford Gym. Ash sought to obtain the Knuckle Badge from Brawly, but failed in his first attempt in Brave the Wave. He remained on the island for a lengthy period of time, which he spent training, and finally defeated the Gym Leader in Just One of the Geysers. The rematch took place on Brawly's own practice field, a rocky island connected to Dewford Island by a land bridge revealed during low tide.
The island's sandy shores and warm waters make it an ideal surf and fishing spot. However, these same waters are home to sharp rocks and hordes of vicious Carvanha and Sharpedo. It also features many other environments, including forests, lakes, and caves.
Aside from Brawly, Dewford Island's other residents include a Mudkip raiser named Old Man Swamp, Keanu, and Shauna.

Dewford Town first appeared when both Ruby and Sapphire arrived there at the same time, riding on Mr. Briney's boat and Lorry, respectively. Dewford was flooded during the climax of the chapter when Kyogre was awakened.
Later, Sapphire and Emerald were training their Pokémon's ultimate attacks under Ultima at Dewford.
Trivia
Dewford Town shares similarities with Cianwood City. Both locations are on an island to the southwest of their respective regions, and neither one has a Poké Mart. Also, the Gym Leaders of both locations specialize in Fighting-type Pokémon.
