Pewter City HGSS · Kanto Town
Pewter City is the stone-grey Kanto city between Route 2 to the south and Route 3 to the east, visited after you return to the Kanto mainland in the post-game. Brock leads the Rock-type Gym, now with a Lv50s team, and the Pewter Museum of Science has a scientist who revives fossils. An old man near the Route 3 exit hands out a legendary feather, and the Eon Pokémon can be met here through an event item.
