Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough/Section 15

Now that you can use Strength......

There are many places you can access with Strength, such as the secret part of Wayward Cave(this will be further covered). You can also get some items you previously couldn't get.

If you haven't got HM04 (Strength), go back to Route 209. Explore Lost Tower. Refer to Section 8 for details.

Oreburgh Gate (Basement)

You need to bring a Pokemon with Surf and Rock Smash.

Go to the basement. Surf to where you fought Veteran Grant. Go down the stairs and use Strength to push the boulder. Collect the Earth Plate. Then go north and use Rock Smash first. After that, push the boulder to the west. You can get the TM01 (Focus Punch).

Route 211

There is a boulder for you to push. But what you get is totally nothing. You can simply ignore it.

Mt. Coronet (Northern part)

You can get some items here. You can also get to Routes 216-217, Lake Acuity and Snowpoint City, but this is not recommended. There is a blizzard on Route 217, so it is very hard to get through. If you are determined to get through this route now, be prepared for the worst situation, as the Town Map mentioned.

Wayward Cave (Secret Basement)

Make sure that you have Pokemon with the moves Cut, Flash and Strength. If you are getting the items, bring a lot of Repels, Super Repels or Max Repels. Max Repels will help the most.

Go to Route 206 again. Cut down the trees and access the route under the Cycling Road. There is a hidden entrance of Wayward Cave under the Cycling Road west of the main entrance of the cave. Enter it and use Flash. You will find 5 boulders blocking your way. Use Strength to push the boulder in the middle to the north, then go through the stairs to the basement.

There are a lot of ramps and slopes. You need your Bicycle to get through. You will also need to switch gears at the right time to get the items. Use Repels, Super Repels or Max Repels to repel the wild Pokemon, so that you can get the items successfully.

This basement is the only place to find wild Gible. Gible is a Dragon/Ground-type Pokemon. It evolves into Gabite at Level 24 and Garchomp at Level 48. Gible evolutionary line has high Attack stat and learns a lot of good Dragon-type and Ground-type moves (such as Dragon Claw and Earthquake). It also learns some Template:Type2 moves like Crunch. However, you will find Gible at Level 15 to 17, which is a distance from your Pokemon's level -- your Pokemon's level should be around Level 40 by now. Using it or not, it's up to you.

There is another set of stairs in the southeast corner of the basement. This leads to the an isolated area in the main cave, which contains TM26 (Earthquake).
