'''Mahogany Town''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|チョウジタウン|Chōji Taun}}''' ''Chōji Town'') is a small town in northern [[Johto]]. Its English motto is "''Home of the Ninja''" ("''Welcome to the Home of the Ninja!''" in [[Generation II]]), because of the ninjas that once resided in what eventually became the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. There are three exits out of town. To the west is {{rt|42|Johto}}, to the east is {{rt|44|Johto}}, and to the north is {{rt|43|Johto}}, which leads directly to the famous [[Lake of Rage]].
[[Pokémon Trainer]]s must come to Mahogany Town in order to win the {{Badge|Glacier}} from [[Pryce]], the Mahogany [[Gym Leader]] who specializes in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Mahogany is a quiet, relaxed town, and has no [[Poké Mart]]. Instead, there is a shop used by [[Team Rocket]] as a base. After Team Rocket is defeated, it is converted into a store run by a little old lady.
When the town is first entered, there is a man blocking the eastern exit who wants to sell the {{player}} a [[RageCandyBar]], although, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, even after buying the RageCandyBar, the man will still not let the player pass, saying that the player needs to see the attractions in the town and [[Lake of Rage|the surrounding area]]. In order to exit to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Path]] and to remove the man from the exit, Team Rocket must be removed from the Team Rocket HQ as well as the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].

There is no [[Poké Mart]] in Mahogany Town, only a small shop in the middle of town. It is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for Pokémon training. The shop is run by a creepy old man, that seems very suspicious. However, the shop is actually just a cover up for the [[Team Rocket HQ]], of which the stairway down to the hideout is concealed under a gold cabinet. After Team Rocket was run out of town, the old man abandoned the shop and is later inhabited by an old lady who sets up a small shop selling items that "nobody else has".

{{main|Team Rocket HQ}}
[[Image:Transmitter Room.png|thumb|right|The transmitter room]]
The Team Rocket HQ is the headquarters and a hideout for [[Team Rocket]], located beneath the heart of Mahogany Town, and the entrance is located under a cabinet in the souvenir shop. The hideout was originally used as a base for ninjas that once resided here, giving the town the motto "''Home of the Ninja''" ("''Welcome to the Home of the Ninja!''" in [[Generation II]]). However, after the ninjas left, Team Rocket used the headquarters as a power source to send out high-frequency sound waves, which disturbed the Pokémon in Mahogany Town, [[Lake of Rage]], and other surrounding locations, and affected their evolution patterns. It is also the source of the problems occurring at the lake, involving the appearance of a [[Red Gyarados]].
The upper floor of the base contains {{p|Persian}} statues with security cameras in their eyes—walking past one triggers two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s to battle the player until they deactivate the cameras using a switch in the center of the area. The far left hallway bypasses most of the Persian cameras, but the floor is booby-trapped with {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Geodude}}, which {{pkmn|battle}} the {{player}} and have a tendency to {{m|Selfdestruct}}. The second floor contains the generator room where six {{p|Electrode}} power the radio transmitter. The room is locked and requires a password to open. The third floor contains workstations, and a passage back onto the second floor leads to the rear of the hideout where the main office is located. The office is also locked and requires two passwords to open.
==Mahogany Gym==
{{main|Mahogany Gym}}
The Mahogany Gym is the official Gym of Mahogany Town. It specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Pryce]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Glacier}}. Pryce cannot be challenged the first time the player arrives in Mahogany Town. A man is blocking entry to the Gym: he will only leave once Team Rocket has been defeated at their headquarters and the Gyarados at the nearby Lake of Rage have been calmed.
In the [[Generation II]], in order to get to the leader, one must correctly navigate an ice maze. While in [[Generation IV]] games, the maze has been completely changed with several rooms. After [[Gym Leader|Leader]] [[Pryce]] is defeated, he will give the player the {{Badge|Glacier}} and an Ice-type Technical Machine. This varies from generation to generation: {{TM|16|Icy Wind}} will be given in Generation II, and {{TM|07|Hail}} is given in Generation IV.
==Demographics==
Mahogany Town's population is 26, which makes it the third-smallest town in [[Johto]].

==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the top of the radio transmitter can be seen next to the shop, poorly hidden in a fake tree. After defeating [[Team Rocket]], the tree is removed and the transmitter is broken.
** Also in these games, in front of the eastern watch tower, the very top point of the tree in front is missing.
* Its English motto in [[Generation II]] was "''Welcome to the Home of the Ninja!''"
