Mauville City

 
Mauville City

Mauville City is located in central Hoenn, situated between Routes 110, 111, 117, and 118. Tourist hotspots include the Mauville Gym, Game Corner, and Rydel's Cycles.


Rydel's Cycles

Rydel's Cycles is located near the city's east exit. Spotting your dirty Running Shoes, the shop owner, Rydel, realizes that you've done a lot of traveling. He offers you a free bicycle, and gives you the choice between two models. The Mach Bike is faster and is able to ride up muddy slopes, which is useful for exploring places like Granite Cave. The Acro Bike is slower which allows for more precise control and the ability to perform tricks. After choosing a bike, you can speak to Rydel at any time to swap it for the other model.

Game Corner

Wally's Challenge

When you approach the Gym, you find Wally and his uncle talking outside the building. He desperately wants to challenge the Gym, but his uncle has reservations. He challenges you to a quick battle to test his skills.




After being defeated, he decides to return to Verdanturf Town. As they turn to leave, his uncle recognizes you as the Trainer who helped Wally catch his Ralts, and invites you to visit them in Verdanturf.

Scott arrives after they leave. He was watching the match, and was impressed that you didn't hold anything back, even when battling a friend. He lets you know that he'll be cheering for you, and heads west to Route 117.

Move Tutor

Another Move Tutor can be found outside the Gym. This man offers to teach the move Rollout to a Pokémon, one time only.

Mauville Gym

 
Mauville Gym

Mauville City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Wattson
The cheerfully electrifying man!

The Mauville Gym specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. While Pokémon of this type are only vulnerable to Ground-type attacks, the other Pokémon inside make Fire and Fighting moves useful as well. Keep your Water- and Flying-type Pokémon on the sidelines for now. The Gym features several electrical barriers, which can be turned on and off by stepping on thunderbolt-shaped switches. To reach the Gym Leader, simply step on the southwest switch.

Wattson leads with his Voltorb. Though its Attack is low, if left unchecked its Rollout move—a Rock attack—increases in power and can pose a danger to Fire Pokémon like Combusken. His Electrike is not much of a threat, but it can strike first with Quick Attack. Pokémon that use contact moves against Electrike also risk becoming paralyzed due to its Static Ability. Magneton likes to start with Supersonic to confuse its foe. Its Special Attack is dangerously high, which allows it to deal serious damage with the unavoidable Shock Wave move; fortunately, it also sustains quadruple damage from Ground moves. His Manectric can use Howl to raise its Attack, which boosts the damage dealt by Quick Attack. It can also actively paralyze the foe with Thunder Wave, and like Electrike, has the Static Ability.

After the battle, Wattson awards you the Dynamo Badge, which boosts your Pokémon's Speed by 10% and enables the use of Rock Smash in the field. He also hands out TM34 (Shock Wave) as a prize, and registers himself in your PokéNav.

When you leave the Gym, you receive a call from Wally. His uncle has just bought him a PokéNav, and he's excited that he can contact you anytime.

Route 117

 
Route 117

Route 117 stretches west from Mauville City. The optional path serves as a shortcut back to western Hoenn, by way of Verdanturf Town and Rusturf Tunnel. A Pokémon Day Care is located just outside the city.


Pokémon Day Care

The Pokémon Day Care is a facility that raises Pokémon for busy Trainers. For a small fee, up to two Pokémon can be left here to be raised by the Day Care staff. During their stay, Pokémon will gradually level up and learn new moves. When two compatible Pokémon are left at the same time, you may return to find an Egg! Speak to the Day-Care Man and he will hint at the odds of finding one.

"The two seem to get along."

Whenever an Egg is found, the Day-Care Man will be standing farther away from the fence, eager to talk to you. Speak to him to receive the Egg, and carry it with you on your journey. The more you travel with an Egg, the faster the Pokémon inside will hatch.

Verdanturf Town

 
Verdanturf Town

Verdanturf is a small town just west of Route 117, at the foot of the mountains. Due to the prevailing wind pattern, the area is always kept clear of falling volcanic ash. Wally is visiting with his uncle's family here, in the hopes that the fresh, clean air will improve his health.


Move Tutor

Another Move Tutor can be found inside the Pokémon Center. This young boy offers to teach the move Fury Cutter to a Pokémon, one time only.

Battle Tent

The Verdanturf Battle Tent stands in the northwest corner of town, and is the second of three scattered throughout Hoenn. At this location, challengers select three of their Pokémon to battle three opposing Trainers. These Trainers' Pokémon will either be level 30, or match the highest-leveled Pokémon in your party, whichever is higher. Trainers take a backseat here, while their Pokémon battle on their own, using moves most suited to their Natures. All moves are grouped into three categories; Attack, Defense, and Support. Each Nature has a ratio of Attack, Defense, and Support moves that Pokémon with that Nature will prefer to use, but these ratios may change when a Pokémon's HP falls below 50%. During battle, a Pokémon chooses one of these categories, then selects a random attack from its moveset that matches that category. If no such attack exists, the Pokémon will "appear incapable of using its power" and skip its turn. The reward for winning three consecutive battles here is a Nest Ball.

Scott can be found in the entry hall. He claims that a Battle Tent is a great place to meet tough Trainers, and expects you to do your best here.

Wanda's House

The middle home on the south side belongs to Wanda, who happens to be Wally's cousin. This is where Wally is staying for now, but it seems that he's run off to train his Pokémon. According to Wanda's mother, Wanda is concerned about her boyfriend, who is working non-stop to complete the construction of Rusturf Tunnel. She often goes there to visit him.

Friendship Rater

In the house situated to the left of Wanda's house, there is a woman who rates the friendship of Pokémon.

Route 116

 
Rusturf Tunnel

Rusturf Tunnel


Reunion

With the Dynamo Badge, you can finally use Rock Smash to clear a path through Rusturf Tunnel. Step inside and go northwest to reach a group of cracked rocks. Clear the debris to open the tunnel and reunite Wanda with her hardworking boyfriend. As thanks, he gives you HM04 (Strength)!

Lost His Glasses

Take the tunnel's middle exit to reach a previously-unreachable part of Route 116. The Bug Maniac here has lost his glasses, so dig out your Itemfinder and use it to track down a pair of BlackGlasses. These aren't the glasses he lost though, so you get to keep them. Before moving on, be sure to grab the HP Up on the ridge.

The Researcher's Reward

Continue through Rusturf Tunnel to its western exit to return to Route 116. A Devon researcher can be found just outside the tunnel. It's the same researcher that you've helped before, and as thanks for delivering the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, he wishes to reward you with a Repeat Ball. After receiving this one, you can buy Repeat Balls and Timer Balls in Rustboro City.
