Canalave City Pokémon Diamond and Pearl · Town
Canalave City is a harbour town on Sinnoh's far western coast, split by a canal with a drawbridge and reached via Route 218. Byron's Steel-type Gym is here, and the story gathers you, Barry and Professor Rowan at the Canalave Library just before Team Galactic attacks Lake Valor; the ferry from the docks later takes you to Iron Island and Fullmoon Island.
