Lilycove City is a city located in the northeastern part of the Hoenn region, connected by Route 124 in the east and Route 121 in the west. The Lilycove Department Store is located here, as well as a Contest Hall, the Pokémon Fan Club, and the Lilycove Museum. Until the player character defeats Team Aqua/Team Magma in their hideout in the eastern part of the city, the way to Route 124 is blocked by a bunch of Wailmer.

Lilycove City has a total population of 123 in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, 138 in Pokémon Emerald and 106 in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.

After the events at Seafloor Cavern, Lilycove City is affected by a flood (Sapphire and Alpha Sapphire) or a drought (Ruby and Omega Ruby) until the player battles Kyogre or Groudon at the Cave of Origin in Sootopolis City. The music is also replaced with the flood theme (Sapphire and Alpha Sapphire) or the drought theme while the extreme weather is in effect. These effects also apply to Mossdeep City, Sootopolis City, and Routes 124 through 131.

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 so May could compete for her third Ribbon.

During the Ever Grande Conference later on, Ash battles Lilycove native Katie in the first round of the full battle stage. Despite Katie's main strategy putting Ash in an early hole, Ash manages to emerge victorious in the end.

  • Lilycove City's name comes from "lily green" and "cove" (a type of coastal landmark). Minamo City, its Japanese name, comes from  水藻 minamo (water algae).
  • As Hoenn is based on Kyūshū, Lilycove City is based on Kanoya.
  • In Generation III, Lilycove was the largest city in the Hoenn region. In Generation VI, this was changed to Mauville City.
  • In Pokémon Platinum, the Audio System item for the Villa plays a bossa nova remix of Lilycove City's theme.
  • Lilycove City's English motto, "Where the land ends and the sea begins," is, word-for-word, the exact same as the motto of the city of Homer, Alaska.
  • After the awakening of Kyogre or Groudon, the resulting extreme weather affects outdoor NPCs in Lilycove City and Mossdeep City, and with the exception of the Memory Girl in Lilycove City, their dialogue is changed to reflect that. [1]
