Rustboro City, known as Kanazumi City (カナズミシティ Kanazumi Shiti) in the original Japanese version, is a place in the fictional world of Pokémon.

Rustboro is just north of Petalburg Woods and Route 104. The first gym leader, Roxanne, lives here as a teacher. Also, the player needs to complete the Mr. Briney side quest if he or she wants to get to the next town.

Places of interest

Cutter's House

The player should go to the Cutter's House, where a man upstairs will give him or her HM01, Cut.

Pokémon Trainer's School

If the player goes to the Pokémon Trainer's school, the old man will give him or her Quick Claw.

Devon Corporation

If the player goes to the Devon Corporation after he or she obtained the Devon Goods and talks to the President on the top floor, he or she can receive a Pokénav. After one has obtained a Root or Claw Fossil from the desert later in the game, one may give it to a scientist on the second floor to receive a Lileep or Anorith, which evolve into Cradily and Armaldo, respectively, two very good Pokémon.

Gym

The first Pokémon Gym is here. Inside are 2 Gym Trainers. The first one uses a Lv10, 8, and a Lv6 Geodude. The other uses three Lv8 Geodudes. Roxanne favors a Lv. 14 Geodude and Lv. 16 Nosepass. Any starter would do, but of you're using Torchic, include a Shroomish, Lotad, Ralts, Wingull, and (if you can catch it) a Surskit. Once you beat Roxanne, you'll see the Devon Corp. Worker you rescued user being robbed by the same Team Aqua/Magma Grunt in Petalburg Woods. Heal your party, and go to talk to the Worker. He'll ask you to retrieve the Devon Goods. When you advance through the grass, have Poké Balls ready, as you can catch Nincada, Whismur, Skitty, Tailow, and more. When you near the entrance to the Rusturf Tunnel, you'll see an Old Man waiting nearby, searching for a way to get back Peeko, his Wingull. Enter the cave, beat the Grunt's Lv.11 Poochyena, retrieve the Goods and Peeko, and you're done. Roxanne moved here from the Mahogany Gym. There, she had a level 27 Jynx (Pokémon)

Suggested Pokémon

Marshtomp, level 16
Slakoth, level 10 (can pack on punches against Poochyena)
Pokémon that knows Cut, level 10–15

Rustboro City in the animé

Rustboro City is quite a large City, and is also on the coast. On the outskirts of the City, there is a Pokémon Contest hall. This is where May is inspired to become a Pokémon Coordinator, rather than battling in Gyms. Pikachu also begins to learn Iron Tail here.

When they arrive at Rustboro City, Max enrolls in a beginners course in the Pokémon Trainer's School, which is taught by Roxanne, (who is a teacher and doesn't run the school.) The next day, Ash battles Roxanne and wins a Stone Badge.

The group then explores the larger areas of the City, and meet Team Aqua for the first time, who they defeat at the Devon Corporation. They escape, however, and steal Captain Briney's boat. Captain Briney later takes them to Dewford Island.
