Celestic Town (Japanese: カンナギタウンKannagi Town) is a town in the Sinnohregion. It is a tiny town that preserves the history of Sinnoh and the old ways of life. The center of town has a small shrine that dates back to ancient times. It is one of the smallest towns in the entire region. It is also one of the oldest, and some say the town has been there since Sinnoh was created. It is the hometown of Cynthia's family and of KalosElite Four member Drasna's grandparents.
Inside a cave, in the center of the town, are etchings telling the legend of Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie. However, in the anime, it was shown to be like actual ruins, with pillars and a temple-like structure. Found inside is a fresco involving the lake guardians.
In Pokémon Platinum, an event is unlocked here after the Stark Mountain storyline is completed. When the painting at the rear of the ruins is examined, Cynthia will appear and give her theory to the painting's meaning.
An identical fresco can be found in Mount Coronet, blocking the path to the Spear Pillar. It is destroyed by Team Galactic after the player has freed the lake guardians at their HQ.

Ash, Dawn, and Brock arrived in Celestic in Battling The Generation Gap!. Dawn was eager to visit Lila's fashion store and meet the woman who broke her mother's winning streak. Ash, however, was with his mind set on finding a way to counter Fantina's Pokémon's Hypnosis and decided to train for his upcoming Gymbattle instead. When Dawn and Brock arrived at the store, the receptionist told them that Lila wasn't there and would spend the whole day off, much to Dawn's disappointment.
The Celestic Ribbon
Later, at the Contest Hall, Dawn discovered that Lila took the day off to compete in the Celestic Contest. In the Performance Stage, Lila impressed the Contest Judges by showing off the unique characteristics of her Cherrim. Dawn also did a good job in the round, having Buneary creating an ice sculpture to slide on. Jessilina, however, failed to make the cut and was knocked out of the competition. In the Battle Stage, Dawn and Lila both defeated their first two opponents and reached the finals. Dawn had some problems at the beginning as Lila's Delcatty's Sing and Cute Charm were preventing her Ambipom from battling properly, but in the end she managed to defeat her mother's childhood rival and win the coveted Celestic Ribbon, her third Contest Ribbon overall. After the Celestic Contest, Lila took the group to her store and allowed them to pick out outfits and Accessories free of charge.
Mitsumi and Hareta visited Celestic Town in Dialga's Secret Keys to learn more about Dialga and to deliver the Old Charm to Cynthia's grandmother, the town elder. They found her arguing with Team Galactic's B-2, who had also come to investigate. When B-2 got fed up with her stubbornness, he started the countdown on a bomb planted in the ruins out of spite. Hareta and his Piplup managed to keep the explosion from harming the town and its surroundings, and the Old Charm was successfully delivered. As thanks, the elder told Hareta and Mitsumi about Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie, as well as their connection to Dialga. They were then interrupted by Cyrus, who had been eavesdropping along with Jupiter and Saturn, and Mitsumi informed Hareta that Cyrus is the leader of Team Galactic.
In Team Galactic's Conspiracy, Revealed!!, Cyrus told Hareta and Mitsumi of his plan to take Dialga's power before leaving town, and Mitsumi challenged Jupiter and Saturn so that Hareta could pursue him. Her battle's ending was seen in the beginning of Challenge! The Fortress of Steel!!, in which Jun and Professor Rowan arrived to help, only for Jupiter and Saturn to withdraw.
Trivia
Celestic Town's music is the same as Eterna City's, which is a neighboring town of Celestic.
