Nature's Madness

When the island's volcano erupted, most buildings were either buried in rubble or swept into the sea, and only the Pokémon Center has since been rebuilt. According to a man inside the building, it has been a year since the eruption. A sign posted outside notifies visitors that the Cinnabar Gym has relocated to the nearby Seafoam Islands.

The Final Gym Leader

Speak to the man behind the Pokémon Center, and he introduces himself as Blue. He is not in the mood to battle at the moment, as he contemplates the power of nature and the destruction around him. He invites you to challenge him at the Viridian Gym, then leaves.

Route 20

Route 20

Seafoam Islands

As the beach near Fuchsia City is littered with volcanic rocks, the Seafoam Islands were also damaged by volcanic debris. The entrance to the western island was destroyed, while subsequent collapses have reduced the eastern island to a single small chamber. It is this tiny cave that houses the relocated Cinnabar Gym.

Cinnabar Gym

Cinnabar City Pokémon Gym Leader: Blaine

The Cinnabar Gym specializes in Fire-type Pokémon. Fire-type moves are super effective against Bug-, Grass-, Ice-, and Steel-type Pokémon, while Fire-type Pokémon are weak to Ground-, Rock-, and Water-type moves.

As the Gym Leader enjoys riddles, he had equipped his Gym with machines that would display a quiz when examined. However, these machines were destroyed in Cinnabar's eruption, so there are no puzzles to solve here. There are no Gym Trainers either, allowing challengers to reach the Gym Leader immediately.

Blaine's Magcargo has high Defense, so special moves will fare better against it. Due to its Fire/Rock typing, Water attacks will be especially useful. Intending to account for one of his team's weaknesses, Blaine has taught his Magmar ThunderPunch in order to fight back against Water Pokémon. Rapidash has high Speed and physical Attack, but its physical moves have low power. Fire Blast may cause a burn, so be sure to bring some Burn Heals.
