Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough/Section 14: Difference between revisions

You can visit this route near the start of the game, but you cannot go far. The route follows a short path over land before reaching a body of water with a small island in the middle. A pair of bridges take travellers partway across the water, but do not go all the way to the other side. With the ability to use {{m|Surf}} on the field, you can surf on the water and go on.

Someone will bump into you again, and challenges you to a battle. That's none other than Rival [[Barry]].

'''Make sure that you heal your Pokémon and buy enough items before boarding the ship to Iron Island.''' It is also recommended that you bring five Pokémon or fewer.

When you go down the stairs, a Trainer named [[Riley]] will be waiting for you. He will team up with you and help you to go through this room. He has a Lv.34 {{p|Lucario}}. Like [[Cheryl]] and [[Mira]], he will fully heal all of your Pokémon, as well as his Lucario, after each battle. Wild Pokémon battles will become [[Double Battle]]s. This place provides a good training opportunity due to the fact that you get healed after every battle.

After defeating them, those grunts will leave. Riley than thanks you and asks you if you want to receive an egg as a token of friendship. If you say "No", he will ask you again. Say "Yes", and if you have a space in your party, he will give the egg to you. If you have a full party, then he will notice this after you say yes and say that he will wait for your return. Return with five Pokémon or fewer in your party later if you have a full party. The egg will hatch into Lucario's pre-evolution, [[Riolu]], a {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

The Canalave Gym is a 4-story building made of fixed steel platforms, lifts, and moving metal platforms. You must ride the lifts and moving platforms in a certain order while battling other Trainers in the Gym to reach the top floor, on which Gym Leader [[Byron]] waits. There are 2 kinds of lifts -- yellow lifts and red lifts. Yellow lifts operate between 2 floors. Red lifts can shoot from the bottom floor to the top floor, and vice versa.

Leader Byron uses three Pokémon. Due to ability {{a|Levitate}} and having {{type|Psychic}}, {{p|Bronzor}} is not affected by Ground-type moves and only takes normal damage from Fighting-type moves, so Fire-type moves are your only choice. {{p|Steelix}} has {{m|Ice Fang}}, so avoid using Ground-type Pokémon on it. Its {{m|DragonBreath}} may surprise you and paralyze your Pokémon. Byron's strongest Pokémon is {{p|Bastiodon}}. It is very good defensively, but its Rock/Steel typing gives it 2 major weaknesses -- 4× damage from both Fighting-type and Ground-type moves. Avoid using Fire-type moves on Bastiodon. Hit Bastiodon hard with Fighting-type or Ground-type moves fast before it uses {{m|Iron Defense}} to boost its Defense stat.

You don't need to go all the way back, though -- there is a shortcut. Head to the moving platform east of Byron. Use all three of them (which almost form a square), and you will be at the west side of the top floor. Get to the lift, and you will be brought back to the bottom floor.
