← All areas in this guide

Verdanturf Town is a peaceful, pollen-rich town nestled in central Hoenn. Players typically arrive here through Route 117 to tackle the Battle Tent and explore Rusturf Tunnel to clear the rock blockage. It also serves as the residence of the Pokémon Contest hall's replacement in Emerald, offering Normal Rank Battle Tent challenges.
