Icirrus City (Japanese: セッカシティ Sekka City) is a city located in northwestern Unova.
Icirrus City is connected to Twist Mountain to the west, and Route 8 to the east. To the north of Icirrus City lies Dragonspiral Tower.
The majority of Icirrus City's buildings are located on high ground, due to the surrounding area being in a wet climate and as such having large puddles containing wild Pokémon. Windmills can also be seen towards the south end of the city.
Slogan
Sky Glittering with Flowers of Snow (Japanese: 空に きらめく 雪の花 Flowers of snow glittering in the sky.)

Pokémon Fan Club
Main article: Pokémon Fan Club
| ||||
The Unova region's Pokémon Fan Club is located in Icirrus. The Pokémon Fan Club is an organization spread throughout the Pokémon world, with at least one Club House in nearly every region. The Fan Club is a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon.
If the player shows the chairman of the Fan Club a Pokémon, depending on how many levels it has gained since it was captured or hatched, he may reward the player with an Exp. Share, Cleanse Tag, or King's Rock. A member of the club will also rate the friendship of a Pokémon in the player's party.
Ex-Grunts' house
The lone Team Rocket Grunt who stole the Machine Part from the Kanto Power Plant in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver is revealed to live here, as he can be found in a house with his wife and son that can only be accessed during the winter. He says that while he had planned to revive Team Rocket, soon after returning home he fell in love and then married. His wife gives away a RageCandyBar, and says that RageCandyBars bring the family together, like his teammates from his old job.
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the house is inhabited by a couple consisting of a former Team Magma Grunt and a former Team Aqua Grunt. A sound designer, presumably Shota Kageyama, is also found in the house, and can be engaged to change the background music to 10番道路 Route 10 (which is otherwise inaccessible in these games due to the absence of Route 10) for the duration of the player's stay in the house.
Aha, Wye, and Ditoh's house
Each day, Wye (Japanese: ナンデヤ Nandeya) will invite the player to take a quiz. Every time, Aha (Japanese: ワカルデ Wakarude) will ask the player a question, and Ditoh (Japanese: セヤナ Seyana) always asks for a hint, which Wye gives. Upon answering the question correctly, Aha will give an Antidote to the player, but he will give a Parlyz Heal if the answer was incorrect. The answers are given via the easy chat system.

Black & White arc
Icirrus City first appeared in Tooth and Claw, where Black, accompanied by Iris and Doctor Logan, arrived there to complete his training with Brycen by having a Gym battle with him. After reaching Brycen at the end of the Gym, Black started battling against him, showing off the results of his training. During the battle, Brycen revealed that he and Drayden had discussed about giving Black the Light Stone to combat Team Plasma after they had successfully awakened Zekrom. Black accepted the role, and, after emerging victorious against Brycen, received the Light Stone and his seventh Badge. However, he then found out that the date of the Pokémon League tournament had been pushed up, leaving him frustrated at the seeming impossibility of getting to enter the tournament now and causing him to run off.
