Location Location of Postwick in Galar.

Player's house

Main article: Player's house

The player character lives in this house with their Mum and her Munchlax.

Hop and Leon's house

Hop and Leon live here with their parents and grandparents. After fetching Leon from Wedgehurst, the Champion will give the player and Hop their starter Pokémon at the front yard.

After the player becomes the new Champion, Leon will leave a Poké Ball containing a Charmander on the floor in his room on the second floor with a letter. This Charmander can Gigantamax once it evolves into Charizard.

Demographics

Postwick's population is 5 (not counting the player, Hop and Leon), likely owing to its lack of amenities such as a stadium or Pokémon Center and its relative isolation. This makes it the smallest town in Galar as well as the smallest town in the entire Pokémon world.

Sword & Shield chapter

Postwick briefly appeared in a flashback in Ooh Shiny!! Legendary Equipment. One year before the events of the chapter, Henry had traveled through the town towards the Slumbering Weald in the hopes of seeing the legendary Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield. As he approached the gate leading to the forest, he saw something falling from the sky and into the forest. Casey then appeared, bashing through the gate with her Pokémon. She had recognized the falling objects as Wishing Stars and wanted to get her hands on them. With both of their objectives lying inside the forest, the two Trainers entered it together.

Trivia

• Postwick shares its name with the village of Postwick in the English county of Norfolk.
