==Company information==

[[File:SugimoriMasterBall.png|thumb|200px|right|A Silph Co. Master Ball]]

Silph Co. is the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology. It is this company that develops the most commercially used [[Poké Ball]]s, constantly looking for ways to improve upon them. Silph is also known to produce several other Pokémon-related items, including medicine and [[TM|Technical Machines]], supplying [[Poké Marts]] of their territory. Its president is a kind, old man.

In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, the {{player}} can navigate on the inside of the building by using [[warp tile]]s in order to reach the board room on the top floor. The player must find the [[Card Key]], which unlocks Silph's doors like a hotel key, on the fifth floor of the building in order to do this. All the while, the player must battle through numerous {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s, including the [[Rocket Brothers]], and one {{tc|Juggler}}, who is curiously also part of [[Team Rocket]]. The bed at the bottom-left corner of the ninth floor can be used to heal the Trainer's Pokémon without having to leave the building.

Then the player must return to the third floor, open the doors in the center-left of the floor, and use the warp tile to the far left to be taken to the room with a further warp tile that leads to board room. {{ga|Blue|The player's rival}} waits in that room and the player must face him before continuing on. After he has been beaten, the other person in the room will give the player a {{p|Lapras}}, an extremely rare Pokémon that cannot be obtained any other way in [[Generation I]].

After this, the player may continue on to the board room to face [[Giovanni]] and assure that the plans for the [[Master Ball]] are not stolen. After rescuing Silph, the player is free to explore the building and talk to the employees.

Silph Co. appeared in the episode ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]'' of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. Like in the games, it was taken over by [[Team Rocket]]. Hearing from Silph Co.'s vice-president of how Team Rocket was experimenting on Pokémon in order to accelarate the completion of [[Master Ball]], {{OBP|Red|Origins}} decided to storm the building. Doing so, he freed all the Pokémon and {{tc|Scientist}}s that were trapped inside, even obtaining a {{p|Lapras}} in the process. Finally he arrived at the president's office, where he encountered [[Giovanni]]. Before Giovanni could escape, Red proclaimed that he would always be out there to stop their plans, irritating the Team Rocket Boss. Wanting to teach Red a lesson, Giovanni challenged Red to a Pokémon battle, which ended with Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}} defeating Red's Charizard and wrecking a big portion of the building in the process. Afterwards, Giovanni escaped with a helicopter, leaving before the police could arrive. It was also implied that the development of Master Ball was frozen due to this incident, making unsure if it would ever be completed.

{{left clear}}

Silph Co. made a brief appearance at the end of ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, where [[Sabrina]] was in the office with {{adv|Giovanni}} saying that they have captured all the [[legendary birds]]. It collapsed, as seen in ''[[PS041|Ponyta Tale]]''. Two years later, [[Agatha]] picked up the Badge Amplifier that was buried in the rubble for usage at [[Cerise Island]].

==In Super Smash Bros.==

[[File:Saffron City SSB.jpg|right|thumb|Silph Co. in [[Super Smash Bros.]]]]

Silph Co. appears in [[Saffron City]] as a playable stage in [[Super Smash Bros.]]. The {{pkmn|battle}} takes place on the roof of Silph Co. and a few smaller surrounding buildings, along with two small moving platforms. This is the home stage of {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Jigglypuff}} in the game.

 

Certain Pokémon will emerge from the elevator on the Silph Co. building and attack briefly, similar to Pokémon summoned from {{DL|Poké Ball|Super Smash Bros.|Poké Balls}}. Occasionally, {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Butterfree}}, and other {{type|Flying}} Pokémon will appear in the background.

 

* In [[Generation I]] and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, when the {{player}} encounters {{tc|Scientist}} Taylor before {{pkmn|battle}}, he says that he was shipped off to the ''{{wp|Tiksi}} branch'' of the company. After being defeated, he claims it to be ''in {{wp|Russia}}n no-man's-land''. In reality, it is in Russia's {{wp|Sakha Republic}}, {{wp|Siberia}}. This is another reference to the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]] in Pokémon games and proves that Silph has international branches in addition to the ones in locations other than [[Saffron City]]. In the original Japanese versions, he instead refers to the branch as being in Ponaya Tunguska (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポナヤツングスカ|Ponaya Tsungusuka}}'''), also in Russia, instead. This is a likely reference to the {{wp|Podkamennaya Tunguska River}} in Russia.

* On the eleventh floor there is an accessible [[PC]]. This is likely here either to allow the {{player}} to deposit an extra [[item]] to get the [[Master Ball]] if their [[Bag]] is full or to allow the player to put {{p|Lapras}} straight into their [[party]] after obtaining it if their party is full.

* Silph Co. has the most traversable floors of any building in the [[Pokémon world]].

* According to [[Maisy]], her father works for Silph.<!--Quote: "Dad works at Silph where he studies Poké Balls. I have to stay home with Grandpa and SLOWPOKE."-->
