Mauville City – 1F (Tour)

Upon your arrival in Mauville City, you’ll encounter Wally and his uncle in the hallway. Wally will swiftly head to the city’s Gym. To progress in the story, you’ll need to follow him.

But before pursuing Wally, take some time to explore Mauville. As Hoenn’s largest city, it’s made up of three levels. You’re currently on the interior section of the first floor, which is divided into four sections (north, east, west, south). Each section contains various shops and facilities.

In the center lies the inner courtyard / central plaza, which has the city’s Pokémon Center and Pokemart.

During this stage of the game, your ordering options are limited to the Village Sub Combo.

With a turn limit of 5, face off against up to 5 trainers, who will all use Lv. 17 Pokémon. You can earn some berries or a Nugget as a grand prize depending on how well you do.

Vending Machine

Beside the Food Court you’ll find a vending machine offering three different drinks at varying prices. The drinks sold here are a more cost-effective alternative to the potions they sell over at the Poké Mart.

Item	Price
Fresh Water	200
Soda Pop	300
Lemonade	350

West Side

Pokémon Reflexology Services

The Pokémon Groomer can be found among the various stalls in the western hallway. Once a day, she can provide a massage to one of the Pokémon in your party, boosting its friendship/happiness.

PokéMileage Center

Right next to the Reflexology Services is the PokéMileage Center. In his stall, a Gentleman will allow you to exchange your Poké Miles for a variety of items:

Item	Price	Item	Price

Narcissus Mirror Shop

Moving down the west hallway, the Narcissus Mirror Shop is a shop that doesn’t sell anything. Instead the owner will give you the Reveal Glass Key Item if you have the following Pokémon in your party:

Thundurus
Tornadus
Landorus

This item enables these Pokémon to transform between their Incarnate and Therian Formes.

Ritzy Ribbon Retail

Located opposite the Mirror Shop is the Ritzy Ribbon Retail. When you purchase a ribbon, it will be added to your lead Pokémon’s ribbons. Spend your money wisely, as these ribbons are purely cosmetic.

Ribbon	Price
Gorgeous Ribbon	10,000
Royal Ribbon	100,000
Gorgeous Royal Ribbon	999,999

Crooner’s Café

The western section concludes with the Crooner’s Café. Here you’ll encounter two notable NPCs.

The first one is the Beauty behind the counter, and she will give you TM48 Round.

The second NPC is an old man who serves as a Move Tutor for Keldeo and Meloetta’s signature moves. These moves, when learned, transform Keldeo into its Resolute Form and allow Meloetta to transform into Pirouette Forme in battle.

Move	Type	Eligible Pokémon
Secret Sword	Fighting	Keldeo
Relic Song	Normal	Meloetta

East Side

Rydel’s Cycles

Head to the intersection on the east side and you’ll spot the Bike Shop, also known as Rydel’s Cycles. Inside, Rydel will generously give you a bike for free when you mention your journey from Littleroot Town.

There are two bikes to choose from:

Acro Bike:	Mach Bike:
Faster than running but not as fast as the Mach Bike. Capable of hopping across specific wooden bridges. Can perform wheelies, allowing you to navigate up and down certain ledges.	Starts off slow but accelerates to twice the normal speed. Can climb up muddy slopes at full speed.

Your choice won’t matter for now, so pick whatever you like. You can always switch Bikes later if you talk to Rydel again.

Battle Institute Hoenn

When you first enter the Battle Institute, a man in a suit will give you the Vs. Recorder Key Item. You can use it to record your battles on the PSS and in the Battle Maison.

Currently, you can’t participate in Battle Tests inside the Battle Institute. But after entering the Hall of Fame, you can challenge this battle facility to test your skills and earn you some BP.

Inverse Battle Stop

Right next to the Battle Institute Hoenn is the Inverse Battle Stop, a unique facility run by Inver where Inverse Battles take place.

In these battles, type matchups are reversed, making moves that are usually super effective, not very effective, and vice versa.

If you defeat Inver, he’ll reward you with an item based on your score.

Ultimate Move Tutor

In the east hallway there are two stalls, both containing Move Tutors.

The Ultimate Move Tutor teaches an “ultimate move” to any fully-evolved starter:

As you follow Wally and his uncle in front of the Gym, a short cutscene will play. Soon, Wally will work up the courage to challenge you to a battle.

After defeating Wally, he’ll head to Verdanturf Town, and his uncle will reward you with HM06 Rock Smash.

This HM will allow you to destroy breakable rocks, such as the ones on Route 111, but only after obtaining the Badge from the Mauville Gym.

After Wally’s uncle leaves, the Mauville Gym is now accessible. Now you can challenge Wattson and emerge victorious to obtain the Dynamo Badge and TM72 Volt Switch.
