- Main article: Stow-on-Side Stadium
Stow-on-Side Stadium is the site at which the fourth installment in the Galar region's Gym Challenge takes place. It is located in the northern part of the town, up the stairs just before the mural. In Pokémon Sword, Bea is the town's Gym Leader, specializing in Fighting-type Pokémon. The Ghost-type specialist Allister is the Gym Leader in Pokémon Shield. Upon defeating the Gym Leader, the player receives the Fighting Badge in Pokémon Sword and the Ghost Badge in Pokémon Shield.
Ancient mural
At the northernmost point of the town is a large stone wall with a recreation of an ancient mural on it. During the game's story, it collapses due to the damage caused to it by Bede to reveal a hidden chamber containing statues of Zacian, Zamazenta, and the twin kings of ancient Galar.
Bargain shop
The bargain shop keeper will sell the player one item per day for $3,000. He will also tell the player which item he will sell the next day, if asked. Once the player reaches Stow-on-Side for the first time, if the player did not purchase the daily item from the bargain shop on the previous day, he will sell that item for $5,000.

Valuable item buyer

- Stow-on-Side shares similarities with Lentimas Town in Unova; both of them are desert towns a little out of place, surrounded by mountains, and reminiscent of Latin or indigenous populations in North America.
