Walkthrough
- 1Always be ready for wild Pokémon encounters when breaking rocks.
- 2Be aware that dirt mounds appear randomly and chase you. If they get too close, a battle begins. You can evade them by changing directions.
- 3Take out your Dowsing Machine and head south down the stairs. Use it to find the hidden Nest Ball.
- 4Keep the Dowsing Machine on and head south-west. Use it to find a hidden Star Piece.
- 5Head west from there and use the Dowsing Machine again to find a Heat Rock.
- 6Keep the Dowsing Machine on and head east until it picks something up. Use it to find a Guard Spec.
- 7Keep it on and head south-east to find a X Accuracy. You can now turn the Dowsing Machine off.
- 8Head back to where you entered the area. See the rail to your east? Get on your roller skates, gain speed, and move onto the rail. If you are fast enough, you will move over the bump and find a Smooth Rock in the next area.
- 9Once done, head south and jump over the ledge.
- 10Keep heading south along the west edge. Pass the first two steel bridges.
- 11When you reach the third steel bridge, go across it to find a Flame Plate.
- 12The small building here requires a code to open, which you do not have yet.
- 13Head back to where you began this route.
- 14This time, head west and a little south to find another rail. Gain speed and head along the rail.
- 15Once you reach the other side, head south until you see a breakable rock. Be careful not to accidentally walk over the ledge here.
- 16Break the rock using Rock Smash and grab the Burn Heal behind it.
- 17Backtrack to where you got off the rail and grind along the next one.
- 18Head north from where you get off and check the small rock there to find a PP Up.
- 19Break the nearby rock with Rock Smash.
- 20Follow the path that you have opened up. When you pass a small rock to the west, check it and you’ll find a Hyper Potion.
- 21Follow the path all the way around and you’ll find TM57 - Charge Beam at the end.
- 22Backtrack over the last rail and head south until you jump over the ledge.
- 23Now head south and a little east. You’ll see another rail you can move onto, one that spirals around a bit.
- 24Grind along it to the other side. You’ll wind up in an area enclosed by the rail. Walk down into the little ditch and collect the Sun Stone sitting there.
- 25Head back around and jump over the ledge leading out west.
- 26Now head north with your Dowsing Machine on. You should be able to use it to find the hidden Power Plant Pass in the big boulder.
- 27Head west and take on the Team Flare Grunt on the steel bridge.
- 28After defeating the Team Flare Grunt, head past him and use the Power Plant Pass you found to open the door. Head inside to enter the power plant.
