'''Snowpoint City''' (Japanese: '''キッサキシティ''' ''Kissaki City'') is a snow-covered city located at the far north of [[Sinnoh]], where snow blows down from the top of [[Mt. Coronet]] causing low temperatures. Snowpoint City and the three routes that lead to it ({{rt|216|Sinnoh}}, {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} and [[Acuity Lakefront]]) are also completely covered in snow. To the northeast of Route 217, [[Lake Acuity]] can be found. A cave, which houses {{p|Uxie}}, is located in the middle of Lake Acuity. Given the snow which affects every battle on the two routes leading to the city, as well as the fact that to get to Route 216 from the rest of Sinnoh one must pass through [[Mt. Coronet]], the most convenient way to get to the city is to {{m|Fly}}.

[[File:Snowpoint City anime.png|thumb| | [[File:Snowpoint City anime.png|thumb|250px|Snowpoint City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] | ||
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Snowpoint City is the [[hometown]] of {{an|Dawn}}'s [[rival]] [[Zoey]]. According to [[Nurse Joy]], it is [[Sinnoh]]'s northernmost city. It has a [[Pokémon academy]] that offers classes for both kids and adults wishing to learn more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The city was first mentioned in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' when {{Ash}} was informed that someone had contacted him from there. It was later revealed that {{an|May}} had placed a call to him; after coming to Sinnoh to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]], she decided to stop by Snowpoint City first to evolve her {{p|Eevee}} into {{TP|May|Glaceon}} in front of an [[Ice Rock]] located near the city. | |||
Ash and {{ashfr}} first arrived in Snowpoint City in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', with Ash intending to challenge the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Candice]]. However, before their battle, Ash spent some time at the [[Pokémon academy|Snowpoint Trainers' School]] where Candice teaches. In the [[DP127|next episode]], Ash defeated Candice and earned himself the {{badge|Icicle}}, his seventh [[Sinnoh League]] Badge overall. | |||
Just as Ash finished his battle with Candice, his rival [[Paul]] arrived wanting to challenge Candice for the Icicle Badge as well. Before he did, the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III|Battle Pyramid}} flew into Snowpoint City, and Paul battled [[Pyramid King Brandon]] to see if he could win against the one [[Kanto]] [[Frontier Brain]] his brother [[Reggie]] failed to defeat. Their battle took place in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', and just like his brother, Paul lost to Brandon, being unable to defeat his {{TP|Brandon|legendary titans}}. | |||
[[ | [[DP129|After this battle]], it was discovered that [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] had broken into [[Snowpoint Temple]] in an attempt to steal the {{p|Regigigas}} that lives there. According to legend, long ago, there had been a violent volcanic eruption that had turned the once-beautiful Snowpoint Forest into a sea of lava. Out of a bright blue light, {{p|Regigigas}} had appeared with the [[Legendary titans]] and the four had stopped the volcanic eruption, saving Snowpoint City. Afterwards, Regigigas had gone into a deep sleep in the Snowpoint Temple, protected by {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}, who had transformed into guardian pillars. In the episode, J was defeated but the temple was nearly destroyed in the battle. Brandon left his three titans behind as protectors and promised to rebuild the temple. | ||
Snowpoint City appeared again in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', in which Zoey and Candice were shown watching Dawn's [[Double Performance]] in the [[Daybreak Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] on [[television]]. It appeared once more in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' with Candice, Jeremiah, and other students watching the [[Contest Battle]] between Dawn and Zoey in the finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. | |||
Throughout their time in Snowpoint City, Ash and his friends wear winter clothing which they received from [[Johanna]] prior to arriving in the city in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]''. | |||
