|generation={{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|II}}, {{Gen|III}}, {{Gen|IV}}

The '''Pokémon Tower''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンタワー''' ''Pokémon Tower'') is a seven-story tower located in [[Lavender Town]] in the region of [[Kanto]].

The Pokémon Tower houses hundreds of graves of deceased {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in all of its seven floors. Many people visit the building daily to pay their respects to the fallen. On all floors other than the first two, though, the possibility of being attacked by [[wild Pokémon]] is present. In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, the tower was converted into the '''Lavender Radio Tower''', undergoing a similar transformation to the [[Kanto Power Plant]] to the north.

Aside from graves, the tower is home to wild {{p|Cubone}} as well as many {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal the Cubone to sell their valuable skulls. In the process, a mother {{p|Marowak}} that was protecting her Cubone child was killed. {{OBP|Ghost|literal|The ghost}} of the mother Marowak haunted the tower until {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}} was able to knock it out, setting her spirit free. The {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} that appears here cannot be caught, even if a [[Master Ball]] is used. [[Mr. Fuji]] attempted to confront the poachers, but ended up being taken hostage himself and required the help of the main character to be released. As a show of gratitude, Mr. Fuji gives the main character the [[Poké Flute]].

The Ghost-type Pokémon in the tower appear to have a unique ability to disguise themselves as the ghosts of humans. However, a [[Silph Scope]] will reveal their true natures and identity, allowing the Pokémon to be engaged in battle. Any Pokémon who attempts to fight ghosts without a Silph Scope will be "too scared to move."

A special spot on the fifth floor has been made into a wild Pokémon-free healing area. In the original games, the Channeler next to it makes a reference to white magic about it. This was edited out in the later games.

In [[Generation I]], it is possible to exploit {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Ghost Marowak bypassing|a glitch}} that allows the {{player}} to skip the sequence with the [[level]] 30 {{OBP|ghost|literal}} by using a [[Poké Doll]], making it possible to progress without obtaining the [[Silph Scope]] first.

The Pokémon Tower appeared in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. It is depicted as a decrepit mansion rather than a graveyard as it is in the games.

{{Ash}} visited the tower after losing his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Sabrina]], and being advised by [[Sabrina's father]] to go to Lavender Town to catch himself a Ghost Pokémon in order to defeat Sabrina's {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon. {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} quickly got scared of the seemingly unexplainable events happening inside of the tower, and left Ash do his Ghost search alone. When he finally encountered {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}, two of the three residents of the tower. He tried to battle them, but soon found out that they were more interested in physical comedy than battling. As their comedy routine didn't work on Ash, the ghosts got sad and sank through the floor in depression. Ash tried to dive after them, but only ended up hitting the floor, causing an old chandelier to fall on him and {{AP|Pikachu}}, killing them. Haunter then turned Ash and Pikachu into ghosts, and the two had some fun with the three ghosts, including playing some pranks with Brock and Misty, before eventually returning to their bodies. However, Haunter had enjoyed its time with Ash so much that it decided to follow him to [[Saffron City]].

The floors seem to be unstable as [[James]] falls through to the lower floor due to a single step, although it took the weight of the entire Team Rocket trio to break through lower floor to the basement. The tower appears to have numerous rooms including a nursery, a dining room, and the aforementioned basement.

The Pokémon Tower first appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', playing a similar role as in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

The Pokémon Tower debuted in ''[[PPPB14|Raichu's Best Friend]]''. When {{MPJ|Pikachu}} and his friend see a picture that they took, they spot a {{OBP|ghost|literal}} within the picture. Afterwards, the ghost returns and switches to her [[Sandy|human]] form. The ghost turns out to be a girl named Sandy who wants the group to do a favor for her and find her [[Sandy's Raichu|friend]]. Sandy sends the group onto the Pokémon Tower in order to find her Raichu.
