The Power Plant (Japanese: 無人発電所Abandoned Power Plant in GenerationsI, III, and VII, 発電所Power Plant in Generations II and IV), occasionally referred to as the Kanto Power Plant (Japanese: カントーはつでんしょKanto Power Plant) in Generations II and IV, is a facility located on Route 10 in Kanto.
In some early guidebooks, this was also referred to as Power Station.[1]
In Generation I, the back exit found near Zapdos transports the player back to the front door. In Generation III, the exit leads to a small area next to the facility cut off by a ledge and can be reentered as long as the player doesn't jump over the ledge. In Generation VII, the back exit is replaced with a one-way warp panel that transports the player back to the front door.

The Power Plant is littered with machinery that has fallen into disrepair. Many of the changes throughout the three generations are simply cosmetic, the most notable one being Generation III changing the exit in Zapdos's room to lead to the side of the Power Plant instead of back to the entrance, and Generation VII having no back exit in the room and instead having a warp panel that leads to the entrance. The background music differs among generations. In Generation I, the BGM is the same as the Rocket Hideout and Cerulean Cave; in Generation III, it instead plays the Pokémon Mansion's theme; and in Generation VII, it plays the theme of the Silph Co. Also, all the Voltorb disguised as items in Generation I are removed in Generation III, with only the two disguised Electrode being retained. Generation VII does the same and also adds two more disguised Electrode.
Generation II
The inside is reduced drastically, and is taken up by scientists working at various computers as well as in a separate generator room. The wild Pokémon found here in Generation I instead reside outside, while Zapdos has apparently fled.
Generation IV
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the inside is redesigned yet again to be a single room, with the generator in the middle and the scientists at their computers spread around the room. Wild Pokémon reside outside like in Generation II, including Zapdos, which returns after the Machine Part is restored and all 16 Badges have been earned.
In Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, the Kanto Power Plant is depicted twice: the illustration rare print of Electrode depicts the interior, while the special illustration rare print of Zapdos ex depicts the exterior.
The Kanto Power Plant appeared in A Crackling Raid Battle!. When Professor Cerise detected signs of a Zapdos appearing at Vermilion Port, Goh deduced that the thunderclouds Professor Cerise had detected were not surrounding Zapdos, but were just being created by it. Following this deduction, he led Ash to the Power Plant, where they encountered Team Rocket, who had been scouting the building as a potential base and was surprised to learn that Zapdos could be there too.
Goh's deduction turned out to be correct, and the group found Zapdos absorbing energy from the Power Plant's generator. They engaged the Legendary Pokémon in a Raid Battle, but when Zapdos headed outside, Team Rocket stopped Ash from following Goh to the roof in an attempt to steal Pikachu. Goh battled Zapdos with Raboot and Flygon, but despite managing to land some hits on it, he ultimately failed to catch it like he had hoped.
In Pokémon Adventures, the Power Plant is a building project that was never completed. The industrial waste from the construction site has affected the lives of many Pokémon living in the surrounding areas, including on Route 9, where the waste has killed off most of the local plant life, sending many Pokémon wandering around in search for food.
In Generation I, if the player is currently at the Power Plant and opens the Town Map, pressing down will do nothing at first, as the selection will go from the Power Plant (the current location) to Power Plant again due to an oversight. The player will need to press down twice to select the previous location, which is Indigo Plateau. Similarly, the player will need to press up twice on Route 1 to go to the next location on the Town Map.
