Sootopolis City plays a major part in the games, as it is the location where the player has their encounter with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}}, and obtain their final [[Badge]].

In the [[Pokémon games]], Sootopolis City can only be reached by diving through {{rt|126|Hoenn}}, or by {{m|Fly}}ing or [[soaring in the sky|soaring]]. Sootopolis is surrounded by {{rt|126|Hoenn}}.

The [[Cave of Origin]] is located in Sootopolis, in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} it contains {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} respectively, while in {{game|Emerald}}, Wallace is there, wondering where {{p|Rayquaza}} could be.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the volcano Sootopolis is built upon opens up at one side, giving access to ferries. It appeared in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'' and ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the city for Ash's final [[Hoenn League]] Gym battle. After witnessing a demonstration of [[Juan]]'s {{pkmn|Contest}} skills, the group was taken to the [[Sootopolis Gym]], where Ash had his final Hoenn Gym battle with Juan. Eventually Ash won, earning him his eighth Hoenn League [[Badge]].

Sootopolis City was first mentioned in ''[[PS192|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt I]]'' by [[Mr. Briney]] when his {{p|Whiscash}}, Whisko, was sensing earthquakes with its whiskers and that many earthquakes have happened there.

 

After [[Maxie]] awakened {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} at the [[Seafloor Cavern]], the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] eventually came face to face in Sootopolis City, where they began a fierce battle with each other. In order to prevent the immense energy resulted by the battle from going out of control, {{Steven}} and the [[Elite Four]] used the {{TP|Brandon|legendary titans}} to contain the energy in Sootopolis City. Eventually, the battle was stopped by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}.

Sootopolis City reappeared in the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, where [[Zinnia]] was taken there after Rayquaza rejected her offer to join her in order to destroy the meteoroid headed for Hoenn. Upon {{adv|Emerald}}'s request, Zinnia agrees to work alongside the Stones, [[Mr. Stone|Joseph]] and Steven, for a solution to avert the impending apocalypse. Eventually a plan was devised, which involved the Hoenn [[Gym Leader]]s, Elite Four, and [[Frontier Brain]]s, as well as the [[Draconid]]s, {{adv|Red}}, and {{adv|Green}}, all standing by at Sootopolis to launch a combined attack towards the meteoroid, while Ruby and {{adv|Sapphire}} would ride Rayquaza into space to strike the meteoroid directly.

==Origin==

Sootopolis City appears to be based on the {{wp|Greece|Greek}} {{wp|List of islands of Greece|island}} of {{wp|Santorini}}, also known as Thera.

* In the flower patch next to the big tree [[AZ]] gave, there is a flower in the patch that is the same in design to the flower the Eternal Flower {{p|Floette}}, the Floette that befriended AZ in the {{g|X and Y}} storyline.
