Lavaridge Town: Pokémon ORAS Walkthrough (Part 9)

Quick Guide

1. Descend Jagged Pass until you’re back on Route 112.
2. When you reach Lavaridge Town, challenge the town’s Gym Leader, Flannery, to earn the 4th Gym Badge.
3. Return to Petalburg City with your rival.

Jagged Pass

Jagged Pass is the path that connects Mt. Chimney and Route 112, serving as the only way to reach Lavaridge Town on foot.

Using the Acro Bike here provides access to most of the items in the area. It also allows you to head back up the stone platforms to return to the top of Jagged Pass, which isn’t possible with the Mach Bike.

Keep in mind that if you descend the ledges to the bottom with the Mach Bike, you can only head back up Jagged Pass by going back to Mt. Chimney using the Cable Car.

South Exit to Route 112 (South)

After descending all the ledges, you’ll reach the exit back to Route 112’s south side. But this time, you’ll be on the section that was previously inaccessible because of some ledges obstructing the path.

Route 112 (South)

Now, you have the option to go either west or east.

Going west leads directly to Lavaridge Town. If you choose to go east for a bit, you can obtain a Nugget that was previously inaccessible during your last visit. Fully going down the ledges on the east will take you back to the base of Mt. Chimney.

Newly Obtainable Items

Item	Method	Exact Location
Nugget	Between the ledges near a Kindler

West Exit to Lavaridge Town

If you head west for a bit, you should reach Lavaridge Town shortly.

Lavaridge Town

Lavaridge is a small town well-known for its hot springs and the home of the Lavaridge Town Gym. Before challenging the Gym, there are a few spots in the town you might want to visit first.

Currently Obtainable Items

Item	Method	Exact Location
TM75 Swords Dance	Gift from a Black Belt for answering “No”, outside the Poké Mart
Charcoal	Gift from an old man, inside the Herb Shop
Ice Heal (Hidden)	On the female side of the Hot Spring (left side)

Moomoo Milk Seller

Inside the Pokémon Center, located between the Pokémon Center Lady and the entrance to the Hot Springs, you’ll find a Pokémon Breeder selling Moomoo Milk individually or by the dozen.

Make sure to purchase some, as Moomoo Milk is a cost-effective alternative to Hyper Potions.

Wynaut Egg Gift

Outside the Hot Springs, there’s a sand bath with a few elderly people standing around. If you talk to the old woman she will ask if you want an Egg, which contains a Wynaut.

After capturing or defeating Kyogre/Groudon later in the game, the same old woman will give you an Egg containing a Togepi.

1st Egg Gift
Pokémon	Wynaut Lv.1
Type	Normal
Ability	Shadow Tag
Moves	Splash Charm Encore

2nd Egg Gift
Pokémon	Togepi Lv.1
Type	Fairy
Ability	Hustle
Moves	Growl Charm

Pokémon Herb Shop

Directly south of the Pokémon Center, you’ll find the Herb Shop.

The lady at the counter sells bitter medicine, a cheaper alternative to healing items found in Poké Marts. However, each use of bitter medicine on your Pokémon will reduce their friendship value.

Lavaridge Town Gym

Head to the southwest side of the town to find the Gym with leader Flannery inside.

After you defeat her, you’ll receive the Heat Badge and TM50 Overheat. Additionally you’ll be able to use Strength outside of battles.

Poké Mart Stock Update

Upon earning your fourth Gym Badge, all Poké Marts in Hoenn will update their inventory. Max Potions will now be available for sale:

Returning to Petalburg City

Immediately after leaving the Gym, your rival will show up and give you the Go-Goggles.

This Key Item will allow you to enter and navigate the desert area on Route 111.

Then your rival will invite you to join him on the way to Petalburg City, the location of the next Gym. Say “Yes” to fast travel there. Alternatively, you can say “No” for now if you want to explore the new optional areas that are now accessible.
