North of Mauville stretches the wildest part of Hoenn: a desert swept by sandstorms, routes covered in volcanic ash and, at the center, Mt. Chimney. The enemy team is preparing a terrible stunt there with a stolen meteorite.

Objective
Foil the enemy team’s plans at Mt. Chimney
Battles
an Admin, then Maxie (Ruby, Emerald) or Archie (Sapphire)
To collect
HM04 Strength, Soot Sack, TM43 Secret Power
Next
Jagged Pass, toward Lavaridge Town

🌼Route 117 and Verdanturf Town

West of Mauville, flowery Route 117 is home to the Pokémon Day Care: leave two compatible Pokémon there, and the old man will one day hand you an Egg. At the end of the route, Verdanturf Town is the village where Wally now lives. Use Rock Smash at the east entrance of Rusturf Tunnel: by clearing the way, you reunite Wanda and her boyfriend, who gives you HM04 Strength.

🏜️Route 111 and its desert

North of Mauville, Route 111 crosses a desert where a sandstorm keeps you from advancing. You will need the Go-Goggles, which you get after the Lavaridge Gym. In the meantime, two stops are in order:

  1. The Winstrate family’s house: take on the whole family in four battles in a row without healing to win a Macho Brace.
  2. The man near the big tree: he gives you TM43 Secret Power. Used on certain trees, bushes or rock walls, it opens the entrance to a Secret Base that you can decorate.

🔥Route 112 and the Fiery Path

Route 112 leads to the Mt. Chimney cable car… guarded by Grunts who forbid access. Take a detour: the Fiery Path, a scorching cave, connects the south and north of the route. With Strength, you will find TM06 Toxic and a Fire Stone there.

🌋Route 113, Fallarbor Town and Meteor Falls

Route 113 is covered in volcanic ash. Go into the Glass Workshop: its owner entrusts you with a Soot Sack. Walk through the ashy grass to fill it: he will then trade the ash for flutes and decorations. It is also the only place in Hoenn where Spinda lives.

In Fallarbor Town, the assistant of Prof. Cozmo, a meteorite specialist, is worried: his boss went off to Meteor Falls with some strange people. Follow Route 114 (the only place in the region where Zangoose and Seviper live) to Meteor Falls. The enemy team steals the Professor’s meteorite there before heading off to Mt. Chimney. Meteor Falls hides many other things, but you will need Surf and Waterfall to reach them.

🚡The cable car and Mt. Chimney

Return to the cable car on Route 112: the way is clear. At the summit of Mt. Chimney, the two Teams clash. The enemy team has placed the meteorite in a machine to act on the volcano: in Ruby and Emerald, Team Magma wants to awaken it to expand the land; in Sapphire, Team Aqua wants to put it to sleep. Defeat the Admin and the Grunts, then the Team leader.

Our strategy

Camerupt (Fire and Ground) is extremely afraid of Water: Marshtomp, Wingull or Marill knock it out in one hit. Mightyena and Golbat can be fought without much danger using Electric, Fighting or Rock attacks.

Our strategy

Sharpedo (Water and Dark) hits hard but is fragile: a Grass, Electric or Fighting attack quickly finishes it off. Keep a sturdy Pokémon in reserve for Mightyena.

Once the leader is beaten, take the Meteorite from the machine. Bring it back to Prof. Cozmo in Fallarbor Town: he gives you TM27 Return. To continue, go down Jagged Pass, south of the summit, to Lavaridge Town.
