Botan City is a city in the east of Rijon. It officially has no Pokémon Center, because its people see them as unnatural. In all three games, it is south of the Haunted Forest.

There is no Pokémon Center in this city. Flying here will deliver the player outside the PokéMart.
If the player visits Botan City before clearing the Silph Warehouse, the city will be full of Rocket members. One of them will be blocking the entrance to the Haunted Forest (the house in the very north of the city). Once Giovanni is defeated at the Warehouse, the Rockets will leave and the player can enter the Haunted Forest.

Haunted Forest[]
- Main article: Haunted Forest
The Haunted forest is an area containing wild pokémon and trainers. It is accessible via the small house in the very north of the city.
Mr. Rumiko's House[]
Mr. Rumiko is a nice person, like Mr. Fuji, and his house is full of Pokémon. It is just below the entrance to the Haunted Forest, the only other house with a door that the player can enter until they have Surf.
He is absent until the player rescues him in the Haunted Forest, at which point he brings the player back to his house and gives them the Pokéflute. However, the Virus Scan is required to do this.
Botan City Cave[]
- Main article: Botan City Cave
This cave is being converted into a railway to Naljo at the time of the game, and contains several NPC miners who make reference to this. One of them gives the player a Red Orb, which can be exchanged for TM30 (Shadow Ball) on the rooftop of the Southland Mall in Hayward City. There are also wild Pokémon to battle and catch in the cave.
Trading House[]
To the east of the city is a house which requires Surf to be reached. Inside, two NPCs will offer to trade Pokémon with the player.
- A man will trade his Tyrogue for the player's Butterfree. This tyrogue will evolve into Hitmonchan on leveling up.
- A woman will trade her Eevee for the player's Gligar. This eevee will evolve into Leafeon on leveling up.

The east side of the city requires Surf to access, and contains a secret Pokémon Center and a Pachisi Hall. Flying into the city will deliver the player outside Botan City Station.
