Sinnoh's [[Pokémon Day Care]] is located here. This is where Trainers can drop off and pick up Pokémon from the old couple that lives there. Pokémon left at a daycare gain [[experience]] based on how many steps the {{player}} takes. It is free to put a Pokémon into the daycare and it costs {{PDollar}}100 to take it out, plus an additional {{PDollar}}100 per level increased while in the daycare. The Pokémon Day Care can keep up to two Pokémon at a time. Pokémon kept there will occasionally breed and have a [[Pokémon Egg]], if certain conditions are right. The old man waits outside the house facing the road, informing the player if they have found an Egg. The old woman waits at the counter inside for Trainer to pick up and drop off their Pokémon. There will also be a man waiting at a table there, giving the player a {{DL|Pokétch|Day Care Checker}} app for their [[Pokétch]]. There must be a Pokémon already in the daycare when entering the building for the man to be there.

Solaceon Town is also home to the Pokémon News Press building. It is run by two people, who create and print the [[Sinnoh]] region's newspaper. The Pokémon News Press is tiny, containing only a TV and a desk, with a writing pad and a computer, but the newspaper is said to have many fans. One of the men asks the player each day to show him a different Pokémon the player has already seen, awarding Poké Balls if the request is granted. The Pokémon he wants to see is often simple to obtain because he only asks for Pokémon already listed in the player's [[Pokédex]]. A player who accomplishes this task within 24 hours will be rewarded with three of any type of [[Poké Ball]], except for [[Master Ball]]s, [[Cherish Ball]]s, [[Safari Ball]]s, and [[Park Ball]]s, and a [[Heart Scale]]{{sup/4|Pt}}. They are featured as a top story of the newspaper on the computer called the "Weekly Poké Ball Roundup". There are featured articles on new types of Poké Balls.

The Solaceon Ruins is a cave found in the eastern side of Solaceon Town. It is the set of ruins where the player can find the {{p|Unown}} in [[Sinnoh]]. The first room has no Pokémon in it and there is writing in the Unown alphabet that indicates which exits to take to get to the last room. The second room has only Unown of the "F" variety, the third has "R" and so on, spelling out the word "friend". The dead-end rooms (reached by not following the Unown alphabet instructions) house the other twenty varieties of Unown. The last room holds four items ([[Nugget]], [[Rare Candy]]{{sup/4|DP}}/{{HM|05|Defog}}{{sup/4|Pt}}, [[Mind Plate]], [[Odd Incense]]) and an inscription written in Unown script.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the population of Solaceon Town is 28, making it a fairly small community for such a large area. Most of the townspeople live on the west side of town, near the main road.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the population of Solaceon Town is 31, making it a fairly small community for such a large area. Most of the townspeople live on the west side of town, near the main road. Being the largest town in [[Sinnoh]], it is tied for the title of the largest town in the [[Pokémon world]] with [[Azalea Town]] in [[Johto]].

The Solaceon Contest was held in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]''. Dawn, Kenny, and [[Jessilina]] all entered the event hoping to win the prestigious Solaceon [[Ribbon]]. In the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], both Kenny and Jessilina managed to impress the [[Contest Judge]]s with their performances and advance to the second round. Dawn, however, failed to make the cut and was knocked out of the competition. In the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]], Kenny and Jessilina faced off in the finals. By using [[Kenny's Prinplup]]'s techniques to favor her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, Jessilina was able to win the battle. With this victory, she earned her first Contest Ribbon.

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===

In the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} are dropped off at Solaceon Town by [[Fantina]] and her {{p|Drifblim}}. They are suddenly caught on camera, and find the culprits to be a {{tc|Belle & Pa}} working for the [[Pokémon News Press]]. While Platinum finds herself having to explain the "mysterious creatures" that the Pa intended to snap on camera, Diamond and Pearl practice their comedy lines. Platinum excuses herself after seeing two of the mysterious creatures, known as {{p|Unown}}, hover above Diamond and Pearl. The two Unown eventually lead the trio into [[Solaceon Ruins]].

The end of the {{chap|Platinum}} and the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} appear to confirm that the [[Day Care Couple]] moved to Solaceon Town from [[Johto]].
