LOCATIONS
Grandis City - The capitol of Valuud, located on the region's southern coast. While also serving as its capitol, Grandis is the designated point of arrival for all newcomers to the region, with the largest port in the region. Grandis is a vibrant metropolis that is separated into distinct districts with various purposes: first is the shopping district, located just outside of the port, host to many different kinds of shops and two Pokémon centers to keep up with the population. Next is the entertainment district which hosts several movie theaters, arcades and the Pokémon stadium of Grandis. There is also a residential district, home to the citizens of Grandis.
Key Locations
- Grandis City Pokémon Stadium - Located within the entertainment district, the Pokémon stadium of Grandis serves as host to several continuous and seasonal events. The most popular occurrences are Pokémon contests and challengers to the Elite Four and Champion of Valuud, which fight out of the stadium.
- City Hall - Situated between the entertainment district and the residential district, this immaculate building serves as the base of operations for the government of the Valuud region. Many of the region's politicians and chief administrators live in Grandis and work within this hall.
- Grandis University - The largest and most prestigious university in the Valuud region, Grandis University is home to the top researchers within the region, including the renowned Professor Acacia. Grandis University serves as the starting point for many Pokémon trainer's journeys, and it is here that Professor Acacia grants said trainers with their starter Pokémon.
- Pokémon Centers - There are two Pokémon centers within the city limits of Grandis, one located at the eastern exit of the city, and one located at the western exit of the city.
Mella Town - Northeast of Grandis, Mella town is a far-cry from the buzzing metropolis that Grandis is. The population of this town is a humble 3,546 people, in comparison to Grandis' 3.5 million. The town is home to a couple of small shops and a café as well as the first gym of Valuud's Pokémon League.

Karragan Town - West of Grandis, Karragan town is bigger than Mella to the east, boasting a population of about 13,000.

Karragan also has the second Gym Challenge of the Valuud Pokémon League.

POKÉMON LEAGUE
The Valuud Region, like all others, boasts a challenging Pokémon League for trainers of all experience levels to participate in. Registration to the Pokémon League starts in Grandis City where brand new trainers will receive their starter Pokémon from Professor Acacia, an occasion that marks the start of a journey for any trainer. Unlike other regions, the Valuud region allows its trainers to choose any starter from every other region to make up for the fact that it does not have its own unique starters. Some trainers choose to forego choosing a starter for various reasons; some have already been provided a partner Pokémon by their parents, others want to test their luck in capturing a Pokémon on their own without the help of a starter.
The Starters -
- Water: Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip, Piplup, Oshawott, Froakie, Popplio, Sobble, and Quaxley
- Fire: Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Chimchar, Tepig, Fennekin, Litten, Scorbunny, and Fuecoco
- Grass: Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig, Snivy, Chespin, Rowlet, Grookey, and Sprigatito
The Gym Challenge - As is the standard across most regions, Valuud's Gym Challenge has 8 gyms before allowing trainers to challenge the Elite Four and subsequently the Champion. The rating of the gyms are in order and trainers are recommended to follow this list when tackling the gym challenge.
*Note that (P) following a Gym Leader's name means another player controls that Gym Leader, NPC Gym Leaders will not have any markings following their names, the same rule applies for the Elite Four and Champion.
**Note also that NPC Gym Leaders are replaceable with player characters.
