Location
Hoenn Lilycove City Map.png
Location of Lilycove City in Hoenn.

Lilycove City (Japanese: ミナモシティ Minamo City) is located in eastern Hoenn and is one of the many cities that is connected to the sea.

Despite Lilycove lacking a Pokémon Gym, it offers a wide range of attractions. The Hoenn region's Department store, the Lilycove Department Store, is located at the top of the hills offering numerous amounts of supplies for visiting Trainers. Lilycove houses a harbor in which the S.S. Tidal provides transportation to Slateport City and the Battle Frontier. Lilycove also houses the Lilycove Museum and the Cove Lily Motel for tourists to stay in. Finally, it is home to the Move Deleter.

Lilycove is located southeast of Fortree, near the sea. The western entrance of the city is Route 121, leading to Mt. Pyre and the Safari Zone. To the east is Route 124, the open sea, and either the Team Magma HideoutROR or the Team Aqua HideoutSEAS.

During the story, after Kyogre and/or Groudon is awakened, the weather in Lilycove is temporarily changed to harsh sunlightR/extremely harsh sunlightOR, rainS/heavy rainAS, or abnormal weatherE. The weather returns to normal once the crisis is over.

Slogan

Places of interest

Contest Hall

Main article: Contest Hall
 
The Lilycove Contest Hall in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

One of the major features in Lilycove is the grand Contest Hall, which, in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, holds the Master Rank Pokémon Contests, while in Pokémon Emerald, all of the Pokémon Contests take place here. It is located in the southern half of the city, south of the Pokémon Center and west of the Cove Lily Motel. These Contests attract many Coordinators and Pokémon from around the country to watch and participate in the events. A lot of citizens are honored to have the hall located right at their doorstep. Inside, there are two reception counters and four Berry Blenders for making Pokéblocks. There are also photo frames for winning Pokémon that are painted by a skilled artist. People are also allowed to watch Pokémon Contests as they take place by going their one of two audience entrances.

In Pokémon Emerald only, after entering the Hall of Fame, the Blend Master occasionally appears at the Berry Blenders as a Pokémon News event. The Blend Master is extremely proficient at the Berry Blender minigame, and always uses rare Berries. The Blend Master's appearance is announced on Hoenn TV's Pokémon News.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, if the player scores high enough while at the same time winning a Master Rank Pokémon Contest, an artist will come and talk to them, saying that he has painted the Pokémon that won. After winning the Master Rank, the painter located in the Contest Hall will then paint the player's Pokémon, and put it on display in the museum. As more paintings are put up, more people come into the museum, eventually prompting the curator to give the aforesaid item.

Contest entries of all ranks are unrestricted in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Cove Lily Motel

Main article: Cove Lily Motel
 
The Cove Lily Motel

The Cove Lily Motel is a local motel in Lilycove. It is located east of the Contest Hall. In Emerald, Scott will be napping at a table before Team Aqua steals the submarine from Slateport City. Due to the fact that Team Magma and Team Aqua were situated in Lilycove City, the city has become an unpopular tourist destination for a time, so the Cove Lily Motel has become empty. However, once the villainous teams were scared away by the player, the Game Freak staff decided to stay there, and arrive after the player beats the Champion.

The motel has a very simple layout. The lower level only contains a man watching a TV set. If the player attempts to check the TV, they will be shoved away by the man for blocking his view. The upper level contains the Game Freak staff, as it is where they are staying while in Hoenn. Players will find the Graphic Artist, the Programmer, and the Game Designer. The Game Designer will give the player the Poké Diploma after completing the Hoenn Pokédex.

Lilycove Museum

Main article: Lilycove Museum
 
Meeting the curator

Northern Lilycove is home to the Lilycove Museum, where fine art and paintings are on display. The museum is located west of the Lilycove Department Store and the western-most attraction in town. An art dealer is often seen walking around the entrance. The first floor, or the ground floor as it is known, is the main exhibition floor of the museum; there are many statues here, including a few that are replicas of real statues, as well as a few paintings. Many people wander around this floor for inspiration or to just marvel at the fantastic pieces of artwork. It is this hall that features the classical artwork of Pokémon, and the symbolization of Pokémon, while most artwork originated during the ancient times.

The curator will introduce the second floor to the player as the "special exhibit hall" and tell the player about his future plans for the design. The second floor, as the curator explains, was made for modern and vibrant artwork that features Pokémon springing forth into glorious life, a great change from the first floor which displays classical paintings, and the curator asks the player to search for suitable artwork. At first, there is nothing on this floor. However, if the player wins a Master Rank Pokémon Contest with at least 800 points, an artist will approach the player saying he's done a painting that might even look good in a museum, at which point the player will direct him to the Lilycove Museum. As more paintings are put up, more people come into the museum, and eventually, if the player accrues five paintings (one for each Contest category), the curator will be moved by gratitude to give the player a Glass Ornament for their Secret Base.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a Kindler on the first floor will sell some of his art—Secret Base decorations—to the player for $100,000 each.

Lilycove Department Store

Main article: Lilycove Department Store

Adjacent to the museum and one of the main attractions of the city is the Lilycove Department Store, the largest store in Hoenn. The receptionist on the left welcomes visitors, and the one on the right gives out Pokémon Loto Tickets for the Pokémon Lottery Corner, with the winning number changing daily. Prizes are awarded for winning numbers, which must match any of the player's Pokémon's original Trainer's ID numbers from the last digit to the first one. The second floor is where items to fulfill Trainers' basic needs are available, such as Poké Balls, Potions, Mail, and other items. The third floor sells items that raise the stats of Pokémon, while the fourth floor sells four offensive and four defensive TMs, and the fifth floor sells furniture for Secret Bases. The rooftop has a couple of Vending Machines and hosts a semi-random rooftop sale, which is advertised beforehand. In Pokémon Emerald, the rooftop also houses a Move Tutor, who will teach a compatible Pokémon Substitute one time only.

Lilycove City Harbor

The wharf is a large seaside building located on the southernmost extent of the city's headland, southwest of the Contest Hall. From here, players may catch the S.S. Tidal and travel to Slateport City and either the Battle Tower if in Ruby and Sapphire, the Battle Frontier in Emerald, or the Battle Resort in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

In the Generation III games, if the player has one of several event-exclusive items, other locations can also be reached which often contain Legendary Pokémon.

Vending Machine

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is a Vending Machine at the back of the harbor building.


Pokémon Trainer Fan Club

Main article: Pokémon Trainer Fan Club
 
The Pokémon Trainer Fan Club

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Pokémon Trainer Fan Club is located to the east of the Pokémon Center. Fans at the Pokémon Trainer Fan Club discuss popular Pokémon Trainers and Gym Leaders. Once the player has entered the Hall of Fame, several members of the fan club announce themselves as fans of the player. In addition to this, and before the completion of the Pokémon League, there will be other members who are fans of some non-player characters including Gym Leaders such as Norman, Elite Four members such as Glacia, and Steven, and also the most recent person to have mixed records with the player's game cartridge. Winning or losing in Link Battles respectively increases or decreases the number of members who are supporting the player.

Contest Spectacular Trainer Fan Club

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Contest Spectacular Trainer Fan Club is located to the east of the Pokémon Center. The club is filled with fans of Lisia.

Move Deleter's house

Main article: Move Deleter

The Move Deleter is located on the northern side of the city, just east of the Lilycove Department Store. He is the only Move Deleter in Hoenn. Although not a hugely important place to visit, the Move Deleter is helpful for deleting moves that can't be deleted otherwise. He is a very forgetful man, and lives alone. For no charge, the Move Deleter will make a Pokémon forget a move it knows. This is the only way for a Pokémon to forget HM moves such as Cut or Fly, besides using the Day Care. In Emerald, players cannot make a Pokémon forget Surf if it is the only one that knows the move. This is done so that a player will not get stuck in an area where Surf is required to continue. In addition, a Pokémon's move will not be forgotten if it is the only move it knows.

Memory Girl

Main article: Memory Girl

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, next to the entrance of the Pokémon Center is the Memory Girl, a girl who can read the memories of experiences a Pokémon had with its Original Trainer (and its most recent owner if it was traded), as well as how the Pokémon felt about the experience. These memories range from meeting the trainer for the first time, defeating wild Pokémon or Gym Leaders, using HMs outside of battle, exploring various locations, evolving, etc. A Pokémon's memory may change over time as it has new experiences with its trainer.

Lilycove City in the anime

In the anime, Ash and his friends arrived in Lilycove City in Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry. Originally, they were just passing through the city because it was en route to Mossdeep City, the location of Ash's next Gym battle. However, after May saw a poster advertising an upcoming Pokémon Contest, scheduled to be held in the city the next day, they decided to stay in Lilycove just so May could compete for her third Ribbon.

After that, the group decided to go grab something to eat to satisfy Ash's hunger, and following May's suggestion, they headed to a restaurant that serves omelets. However, on their way there, Pikachu wandered off, leading them to a Berry market where they met a girl by the name of Kelly and her Grumpig. Kelly revealed that she was planning to enter the Lilycove Contest and she and May bonded over their mutual interest in Pokémon Contests. Kelly then invited May and the others to her home, which is attached to a Pokéblock shop that her mother runs.

When they arrived there, the group had lunch. Soon after, Ash decided to go out and train for the challenge awaiting him at the Mossdeep Gym. He was determined to teach Swellow the move Aerial Ace and Max accompanied him. During Ash's training session, an old man known as Vladimir the Attacker approached Ash and offered to help. Meanwhile, at the shop, May and Brock were learning how to use the Berry Blender to produce Pokéblocks.

Later, Team Rocket appeared and tried to steal Kelly's Grumpig. However, May and her Pokémon managed to rescue the Manipulate Pokémon before sending Jessie, James, and Meowth blasting off again. The following day at the Contest Hall, Vivian Meridian opened the Lilycove Contest, welcoming the audience and introducing the three distinguished judges: the Chief of the Pokémon Activities Committee, Mr. Contesta; the President of the Pokémon Fan Club, Mr. Sukizo; and the operator of the local Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy.

With the audience welcomed and the judges introduced, the Appeals Round began and Vivian called the first Coordinator to perform, May. May sent out her Combusken, who despite making a good first impression with its entrance, used Fire Spin in a way that the move seemed to be out of control and risking May's safety. However, as shown in Lessons in Lilycove, May was unharmed and Combusken was able to turn the tables and end the performance nicely.

After that, Kelly took the stage and sent out her Grumpig. She proceeded to throw some Pokéblocks, which Grumpig easily manipulated with its Psychic attack. Then on Jessie's turn, she earns a high score thanks to Chimecho's Astonish. May, Kelly, and Jessie have all successfully secured a place among the talented eight Coordinators advancing to the Contest Battles. There, May defeated Jessie in the semifinals and Kelly in the finals, winning her third Ribbon.

In Judgment Day!, Ash and his friends left Lilycove City aboard a ship. It was also revealed that Lilycove's ports operate ferry services to Bomba Island and Mossdeep Island.

In On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!, Ash, Goh, and Chloe visited Lilycove City to competed in the Kids Marine Athletic Race.

In Reuniting for the First Time!, Ash and Goh went to visit Lilycove City again. Chloe also arrived there soon after, wanting to meet the Sylveon Trainer who was there. Said Trainer turned out to be Serena, who encouraged Chloe to participate in the local Pokémon Contest Spectacular after Lisia had scouted her as a promising participant. While Serena and Chloe competed, Ash and Goh tried to go to watch them, but they were interrupted by Wallace, who challenged Ash to a battle, forcing Goh to watch the Contest Spectacular through his Rotom Phone. The Contest Spectacular eventually ended in Serena and Lisia tying for the first place, while Ash managed to defeat the Sootopolis Gym Leader, earning his second Rain Badge from him as a reward. Ash and Goh later rejoined Chloe for a ship bound back for Kanto, briefly meeting Serena as the boat departed.

Lilycove City is the hometown of Katie, a Pokémon Trainer who competed in the Ever Grande Conference; she is considered to be the pride of Lilycove. It is also the hometown of Kiley, a pro surfer.

Ruby & Sapphire arc

In Short Shrift for Shiftry, the Pokémon Association's Hoenn HQ was revealed to be situated in Lilycove City.

Hoenn TV is also housed in Lilycove City. In Tanks, but No Tanks, Anorith and Lileep, Archie was revealed to work as its director, using his influence to keep the public unaware of Team Aqua's activities and focus on Team Magma instead.

In Walrein and Camerupt, Maxie confronted Archie outside Hoenn TV. After a brief battle, they agreed on a temporary truce in between their respective teams so that they could combine their resources and safely reach Seafloor Cavern. Gabby and Ty secretly witnessed this, and decided to share the information they had learned with the Gym Leaders and Ruby.

In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon VII, when the weather crisis struck Hoenn, the Pokémon Association HQ was revealed to have deployed a large balloon and become airborne to escape the ground level devastation.

In Bravo, Vibrava, Brawly, Roxanne, and Wallace were taken to the now-abandoned Lilycove City by the three Magma Admins to stop their attempts at halting Groudon's advancement through Hoenn. Brawly was taken to fight Blaise in the Lilycove Museum, Roxanne was taken to the Cove Lily Motel by Courtney, and Wallace faced Tabitha at the Lilycove Department Store. While Brawly and Wallace were able to defeat their opponents, Roxanne was defeated by Courtney as she took hostages and threatened to harm them if Roxanne didn't let herself be defeated. As Roxanne had been using her Nosepass's Block to stop Groudon from moving, this defeat allowed Groudon to move on.

In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII, Steven joined Wallace in Lilycove City, soon followed by the Elite Four. On the rooftop of the Lilycove Department Store, Steven passed his Champion title on to Wallace.

Trivia

  • A rearranged, bossa nova version of the background music of Lilycove City can be found in Pokémon Platinum. It is played on the Audio System that can be obtained in the Villa at Resort Area.
  • The motto of the city is the same motto as that of the city of Homer in the state of Alaska. In addition, both cities are on a peninsula of their respective areas.
  • In the coding for Ruby and Sapphire, there is an unused Poké Mart programmed with wrap tiles leading to the outside of the Department Store. It is a remnant of an earlier version of the city.
