Your guide to earning the Heat Badge in Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire! We'll walk you through Verdanturf Town and the routes leading to Lavaridge Town.
Alright, so you've made your way through Verdanturf Town and are ready to snag that Heat Badge! This section of the guide is all about getting you from Verdanturf to Lavaridge Town, tackling the routes and the Fiery Path along the way. Let's get you that badge!
- 1You'll start by heading south from Verdanturf Town onto Route 111 - South. Keep moving south until you reach Route 112 - South.
- 2From there, you'll enter the Fiery Path. This is a volcanic cave, so be prepared for some heat! Navigate through the cave system.
- 3Once you exit the Fiery Path, you'll be on Route 111 and 112 - North. Continue your journey north.
- 4Next up is Route 113. This route is known for its ash-covered ground, so watch your step!
- 5You'll eventually arrive in Fallarbor Town. Take a moment to explore if you like, but your main goal is to head east onto Route 114.
- 6Follow Route 114 until you reach Meteor Falls. This is a significant location, so pay attention to your surroundings.
- 7After Meteor Falls, you'll need to start climbing Mt. Chimney. This is a volcanic mountain, so expect more fiery terrain.
- 8As you descend Mt. Chimney, you'll enter Jagged Pass. This is a tricky path, so be careful with your footing.
- 9Finally, you'll arrive in Lavaridge Town. This is where you'll find the Gym Leader who awards the Heat Badge!
- 10Head into the Lavaridge Town Gym to challenge the Gym Leader and earn your Heat Badge.
- Make sure your Pokémon are strong enough to handle the volcanic routes and the Gym battle. Fire-type Pokémon are common in this area, so consider bringing Water or Ground-type Pokémon to counter them.
- The Fiery Path and Jagged Pass can be a bit confusing, so pay attention to the map and don't be afraid to backtrack if you get lost.
- Lavaridge Town has a Pokémon Center and a Mart, so stock up on any items you might need before challenging the Gym.
Upon defeating the Lavaridge Town Gym Leader, you'll receive the Heat Badge, allowing you to use the HM Surf outside of battle and increasing the Special Attack of your Pokémon. You'll also get the TM for Overheat!
