Location of Montenevera in Paldea.

Montenevera (Japanese: フリッジタウン Fridge Town) is a town located on Glaseado Mountain in the Paldea region. It is the only settlement in Paldea's North Province.

Like many other settlements in the Pokémon world, Montenevera has a Pokémon Gym, headed by Ryme, who specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon and hands out the Ghost Badge to students who defeat her. It is one of two gyms on Glaseado Mountain, the other being the Glaseado Gym located next to a nearby ski slope.

Next to the Pokémon Center, a man with an Abomasnow can Hyper Train the player's Pokémon, if they are above level 50, in exchange for a Bottle Cap or Gold Bottle Cap. This will max out that Pokémon's chosen IV (if using a Bottle Cap) or all of the chosen Pokémon's IVs (if using a Gold Bottle Cap).

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Montenevera first appeared in HZ061, where Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived there for Roy's second Tera Training test, meeting Nemona soon after. Upon meeting his opponent for the test, Ryme, Roy was surprised, as he had actually met her earlier without learning her name. Believing in the power of his and Fuecoco's battle song, Roy entered the test battle in high spirits, but his attitude soon changed when Ryme's Toxtricity quickly overpowered and defeated them. Ryme declared that Roy had failed his test and told him to come back later. Following some Hyper Training with Nemona in the next episode, Roy challenged Ryme to a rematch. Thanks to a revised strategy, Roy was able to defeat Ryme this time around, impressing the Gym Leader enough to let him pass the test.

Trivia

  • Out of all of the cities and towns in Paldea that contain a Gym, Montenevera is the only one where people are not seen standing or walking around with Pokémon of the type specialized in said Gym (in this case, Ghost-type Pokémon). Instead, they're accompanied by Ice-type Pokémon. Ghost-type Pokémon can only be found in the Gym building.
  • The entrance arches to Montenevera resemble Lampent.
    • Additionally, the many candles scattered throughout the town reference Litwick or Greavard.

Origin

Montenevera seems to have many of its buildings take on the appearance of baserri, traditional half-timbered farmhouses found in the Basque Country. It may be geographically inspired by cities such as Burgos and Valladolid, as well as Ezcaray, a town that shares similar buildings to Montenevera, and is known for its mountains and a ski resort.
