The Valley Windworks is a large wind farm situated in a windy valley close to [[Mt. Coronet]], so as to generate as much electricity as possible. It is located just off {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}, a short walk east from [[Floaroma Town]]. In the area, there are nine tall wind turbines which generate energy that is in turn processed by the power plant in the center of the area. West of the plant is a large patch of [[tall grass]], where many wild {{type|Electric}} Pokémon live. To the north of the power plant building is a river which runs onto {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}; a [[Max Elixir]] and {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}} can be found by surfing on it.

Inside of the power plant building there are many machines which process the electricity produced and send it out to the cities and towns of the Sinnoh region, while the plant owner and his daughter remain to explain how the plant works and about Drifloon, respectively.

During the course of the game, [[Team Galactic]] will take over the Valley Windworks, kidnapping the worker and kicking his daughter out. Their plan is to steal energy to help [[Cyrus]] to achieve his plan to create a new world. One Team Galactic Grunt will be standing guard in front of the door to the power plant. When defeated, he will run inside and lock the door, which will not open unless unlocked by the [[Works Key]], one of which is held by a Grunt in [[Floaroma Meadow]]. In order to rescue the plant worker, [[Mars]] must be defeated. In {{game|Platinum}}, [[Charon]] is also here, but the player doesn't battle him. During this encounter, it is revealed that he joined the team after Mars. It is also here where the {{player}} discovers that Charon is in fact, one of the four {{tc|Commander}}s.

Additionally, wild Pokémon can appear on the [[Honey Tree]].

 

A {{p|Drifloon}} appears outside every Friday after [[Mars]] has been defeated. If this happens on a Friday, Drifloon will not appear until the next week.

==In the anime==

 

In ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', [[Lyra's Marill]] wandered inside the Valley Windworks, and Ash and {{ashfr}} had to go inside to retrieve it. However, due to the power going out, they were temporarily trapped inside. [[Benjamin]] guards this location with his multiple {{p|Magnemite}} and many security cameras, but he is generally asleep.

==In the manga==

[[File:Valley Windworks Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Valley Windworks in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]

===Pokémon Adventures===

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====

The Valley Windworks appeared in ''[[PS343|Honey for Combee]]'' and ''[[PS344|Belligerent Bronzor]]'', where {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} went to the site to help find a little girl's father, whose {{p|Drifloon}} had returned from the Valley Windworks injured, carrying his tattered lab coat. The three [[Pokédex holder]]s discovered that [[Mars]], one of [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, was holding the little girl's father as a hostage to make him generate electricity for her to steal for the Galactic Bomb, using her {{p|Bronzor}}'s {{m|Sandstorm}} to speed up the process. Although Mars got away with the electricity stored within her {{p|Electivire}}{{tt|*|Luxray in the original magazine version}} and the Pokédex holders almost got buried in Sandstorm's sand, everybody managed to survive the incident.

{{-}}

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl!===

The Valley Windworks appeared in ''[[DPA03|The Mystery Boy, Jun!!]]''. After hearing of [[Team Galactic]] causing trouble at the Windworks, [[Hareta]] and {{OBP|Jun|DPA}} headed there and encountered [[Mars]], whom they engaged in a [[Double Battle]]. During the battle, Mars had her {{TP|Mars|Purugly}} destroy the electrical grid, plunging the room into darkness and thus leaving her {{p|Zubat}} as the only functional Pokémon in the battle. However, Hareta was able to use his newly {{pkmn2|caught}} {{TP|Hareta|Shinx}}'s {{m|Spark}} to generate enough light to allow them to finish off Zubat. Following this, Shinx fed enough power to the broken grid to restore the lights, allowing [[Hareta's Piplup]] to finish off Purugly and thus forcing Mars to retreat.

==Trivia==

* In {{game|Platinum}}, after defeating Mars, this message will be displayed on both computer screens:

:This message likely refers to {{wp|Gustav Holst}}'s orchestral suite ''{{wp|The Planets}}''. The epithet of each commander corresponds to the first, fourth, and fifth movements of the suite, respectively: {{wp|Mars (mythology)|Mars}}, the Bringer of War, {{wp|Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter}}, the Bringer of Jollity, and {{wp|Saturn (mythology)|Saturn}}, the Bringer of Old Age. The message shows where each of Team Galactic's three commanders is stationed: Mars was at Valley Windworks gathering power, [[Jupiter]] may have been the one to deface the {{city|Eterna}} Pokémon Statue (as she is in the city when the player arrives) and [[Saturn]] tries to capture the sleeping {{p|Azelf}}.

:After battling {{p|Giratina}}, the message will change, only saying "The PC screen is filled with numbers upon numbers."

* In Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, if {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} is battled on a Friday, Drifloon can be seen when the cutscene preceding the battle briefly shows Valley Windworks.

* In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Flint}} reveals that he met his {{p|Drifblim}} as a Drifloon at Valley Windworks.
