[[File:Pewter Museum of Science HGSS.png|thumb|left|200px|The museum in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]

One of the Pewter City's main attractions is the famous museum located in the northwestern part of the city. The main building is open to the public for {{PDollar}}50 and features several scientific artifacts.

There are two floors to explore in the Pewter Museum of Science. The first floor holds the front desk and a [[fossil]] exhibit containing the fossils of {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. The second floor hosts a space exhibit, featuring a space shuttle and a large [[Moon Stone]] that fell from space and landed on [[Mt. Moon]]. The {{player}} is able to explore the museum at any time, after paying the admission fee.

Once the ability to use {{m|Cut}} out of battle is gained,{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or after the player's {{ga|Partner Pokémon}} is taught the [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down,{{sup/7|PE}} the player can sneak into the back of the museum and acquire the [[Old Amber]] from a scientist there, allowing the player to revive an Aerodactyl later in the game. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there is also a [[Move Tutor]] who will teach {{m|Seismic Toss}} to one of the player's compatible Pokémon.

The museum is closed for renovations during [[Generation II]]. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, however, the museum is open for business. There is a scientist in the museum who will revive a player's Fossils, much like the scientist at [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Cinnabar Lab]] in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}. This is due to the fact that Fossils can be found under rocks using {{m|Rock Smash}}, unlike in Generation II, where players were required to transfer Fossil {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}} using the [[Time Capsule]].

[[File:Pewter Gym HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Pewter Gym in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]

The Pewter Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Pewter City. It is based on {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Brock]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that defeat him receive the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

Other known members include {{tc|Camper}} Jerry, Camper Liam, Brock's father, {{ka|Flint}}, and Brock's mother, [[Lola]].

Pewter Gym appears in all {{pkmn|games}} set in the [[Kanto]] region, appearing much the same in each: a small building with a {{wp|Japanese rock garden}} inside, one Trainer, and the Gym Leader Brock waiting on a large stone pedestal. In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Generation III]] remakes, whenever the {{player}} tries to leave Pewter City, a boy will lead them to the front of the Gym if the player has not earned their Boulder Badge yet.

 

* In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there's a sign that welcomes the player to the city. Also in [[Generation II]], there's a notice about the Gift Shop at the [[Mt. Moon Square]] being now open.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population is 30. Its decline in population could be due to the Pewter Museum of Science's missing second floor, which was present in FireRed and LeafGreen.

===Pokémon Pinball===

In {{g|Pinball}}, Pewter City appears on the Red table. Catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, and {{p|Magikarp}}.

[[File:Pewter City anime.png|thumb|250px|Pewter City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

Pewter City first appeared in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', where {{Ash}} decided to challenge the [[Pewter Gym]] for his first [[Badge]]. After suffering his first loss to {{an|Brock}}, {{ka|Flint}} caught up with Ash and directed him to an old hydroelectric plant located by a dry river bed, where he could charge {{AP|Pikachu}} up with electricity. After charging Pikachu up, Ash returned to the Gym, where Pikachu accidentally set off its sprinkler system, allowing it to win the [[rematch]] against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Despite this, Ash decided to forfeit the match, feeling like he did not deserve to win. Nevertheless, Brock still chose to give him a {{badge|Boulder}}. The Gym was subsequently left under Flint's care while Brock decided to join Ash on his travels.

In ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', it was revealed that Brock's mother [[Lola]] had recently returned home and added a brighter color scheme to the Gym, while also changing it to a {{type|Water}} Gym. The Gym returned to its heritage {{type|Rock}} theme after Brock defeated his mother in battle. In [[DPS02]], [[Forrest]] officially became the new Pewter City [[Gym Leader]] after a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] recognized him as a worthy {{pkmn|Trainer}} for the duty.

 

The city reappeared in ''[[JN038|Restore and Renew!]]'', when Ash, [[Goh]], and [[Chloe]] visited the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. While enjoying the [[Fossil]] Pokémon on show, Goh uncovered an [[Old Amber]] and later had it restored, {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the newly revived {{TP|Goh|Aerodactyl}}.

 

Pewter City's center features many tall buildings, including a [[Pokémon Center]], which differs from its craggy surroundings. A [[Contest Hall]] is located on the outskirts of the city. Pewter City also serves as one of the locations of the [[Battle Pyramid]]. In the Japanese version of [[EP006]], [[Seymour]] was revealed to work for the Pewter Museum of Science. In addition to Brock, Pewter City is also the [[hometown]] of [[Top Coordinator]] [[Solidad]] and Trainer [[Pete Pebbleman]], who was defeated by Ash during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

 

 

 

===Pokémon Adventures===

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====

Pewter City first appeared ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. After arriving there, {{adv|Red}} learned that the townspeople were trying to catch a [[Pika]]chu, which had been stealing food from the local marketplace. Using his [[Saur|Bulbasaur]]'s {{m|Sleep Powder}}, Red put Pikachu {{status|asleep}} and {{pkmn2|caught}} him without issue. Pikachu did, however, remain [[Obedience|disobedient]] towards him, something that Red's [[rival]], {{adv|Blue}}, mocked him for. He also told Red that he was intending on battling the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Brock]], in order to earn the {{badge|Boulder}} and make his Pokémon stronger, and challenged Red to do the same. However, the local [[Pokémon Center]] had been attacked the previous night, leaving Red's only good choices against {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, Bulbasaur and [[Poli]]whirl, low on [[HP]].

 

In ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'', Red entered the [[Pewter Gym]] just in time to witness Blue winning himself a Boulder Badge. Red used Bulbasaur and Poliwhirl to face and defeat the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, but by the time the battle against Brock came, both of them were too exhausted to continue, forcing Red to use his disobedient Pikachu against [[Brock's Onix]]. Despite the obedience issues and type disadvantage, Pikachu eventually defeated Onix by breaking its body apart, earning Red his own Boulder Badge.

 

Red briefly revisited Pewter City in ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar!]]'' with {{adv|Giovanni}}, whom he had met in [[Diglett's Cave]] and assumed to be just a [[fossil]] collector. Upon arriving in the city, they noticed that the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] had been set on fire by two {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Magmar}}. Red decided to use his recently caught {{p|Sandshrew}} against them, eventually succeeding in immobilizing them with sand. Giovanni gave Red an [[Old Amber]] before parting ways with him, and when the Magmar started moving again, Giovanni had his {{p|Cloyster}} {{status|freeze}} and kill them, revealing his association with [[Team Rocket]] in the process.

 

Starting from ''[[PS065|Karate Machop!]]'', a group of {{p|Machop}} sent by [[Bruno]] attacked Pewter City as part of the [[Elite Four]]'s attack on the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. While Brock fought against them to defend his hometown, he discovered that the Elite Four was after his Badge. Once {{adv|Yellow}} defeated [[Lance]] on [[Cerise Island]], the Pokémon armies attacking Kanto lost their strength and collapsed.

Pewter City appeared in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]''. After seeing {{PPM|Green}} getting tossed out of the local Gym, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} became afraid of fighting against Brock's Onix and tried to flee, forcing {{PPM|Red}} to drag him back inside. Once Clefairy found out that his cousin, {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}, was a part of Brock's Pokémon collection, he was infuriated and finally became motivated to battle. Onix was eventually defeated by Clefairy's gag moves, making Red the winner and allowing him to take Pikachu with him.

 

Pewter City appeared in ''[[PS05|Pewter City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} challenged Brock at the Pewter Gym. Despite Brock's Onix having an advantage over {{zensho|Satoshi's Charmander}}, Satoshi eventually won by having Charmander chop off Onix's horn, earning him the Boulder Badge.

* [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Rustboro City]] are very similar to Pewter City. Their geographic locations in their respective [[region]]s are remarkably similar, as well as being only accessible through a forest early in the game. Rustboro is, however, the most like Pewter in that both cities are the second city visited with a [[Gym]], but first to be beat by the {{player}}. Both Pewter and Rustboro's Gyms specialize in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and play a role in the player obtaining [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

** [[Oreburgh City]] is also very similar to Pewter City, as they are both surrounded by mountains, both of their [[Gym]]s specialize in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and they both contain a museum. [[Nacrene City]] is also similar, as it is near a forest and has a museum; however, unlike Pewter City, [[Goldenrod City]] and Rustboro City, Nacrene City comes ''before'' a forest, not ''after''.

* If the player enters "''[[Mystery Gift#Generation III|Mystery Event Is Exciting]]''" to the girl asking for the player's profile in the [[Pokémon Center]], she will mention that her cousin used to say that a lot, referring to the man in the Pokémon Center of [[Petalburg City]] who asks for the player's profile in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

* In {{game|Yellow}}, if the player tries to deposit the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|initial Pikachu}} in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] or view its stats while it is asleep from {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s song, the game will not allow this, yielding the message "There isn't any response..." (Japanese: あれ？　いない⋯ ''Eh? There's no one...'')

** In Pokémon Yellow, if {{p|Pikachu}} is asleep because of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s song, the player will be unable to use the [[Link Cable]] features. In this case, the Link Cable attendant simply says her original preparation message: "Welcome to the Cable Club! We're making preparations. Please wait."

** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, when the player accesses the [[Help System]], Jigglypuff's song stops.

* In the English [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Roxanne]] says that the Pewter City Gym is the flagship of all the Rock-type Gyms.

* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the NPC with a {{p|Butterfree}} mentions that her Butterfree is female, but it lacks the {{DL|List of Pokémon with gender differences|Generation I|black spots on its lower wings}}.
