Mossdeep City is a city in Hoenn. Tate and Liza (7th) are the Gym Leaders here who both Psychic-type Pokémon. In Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, the rocket launch center is taken over by Team Magma for rocket fuel later in the storyline. It is also apparent that Steven lives here. HM Surf is needed to get here and you will be able to use HM, Dive, from beating the Gym Leaders here.

Trivia

• Mossdeep City is based on the island of Tanegashima, home to the largest rocket-launching complex in Japan.
• Mossdeep City's name comes from "moss" (a shade of dark green) and "deep," referring to the areas around the city where the player can dive. Tokusane City, its Japanese name, comes from 木賊色 (tokusairo, literally "horsetail color," a shade of dark green).
• In Ruby and Sapphire, there's a house at the left side of the city (which a "Secret Base" finding kid lives in). The child's mother has a Skitty but when the player interacts with it, the dialogue says "DELCATTY" instead of "SKITTY". This error was fixed in Emerald.
• In Ruby and Sapphire, there is a man with a locked door in his house (the one below the Pokémon Center) who says "Everyone these days has a cable to battle. Nobody will battle with me. Now all I can do is watch." If the player hacks the game and opens the door, they will go to his basement and a replica of the player of the opposing gender is present. If they talk to it, it will say "!!!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!" and their game will freeze. In Emerald, his home in Mossdeep City is replaced with the Mossdeep Game Corner and his home is moved to Sootopolis City.
