-The layout of the Canalave gym is a maze, and you have to use the mining elevators to find your way around this place. Make sure your team not only has {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, but also include moves of those types that do special damage since the {{type|Steel}} Pokémon found here have higher defense which make physical moves less useful unless you use stronger and more reliable physical moves like {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Revenge}}, {{m|Cross Chop}}, or {{m|Close Combat}} to help make it easier. Out of the special moves {{p|Lucario}} or {{p|Togekiss}}'s {{m|Aura Sphere}} or {{m|Flamethrower}} will be helpful here, as well as {{m|Mud Bomb}} or {{m|Earth Power}} if you have them.
+Be aware that the toughest Pokémon you'll face here is Level 41. The layout of the [[Canalave Gym]] is a maze consisting of multiple elevator platforms. As you may already know, it specializes in {{type|Steel}}s. You'll want {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, and/or {{t|Fighting}}-type Pokémon with you. Steel-types [[Damage modification#Not very effective|resist]] attacks of almost every other type, and are completely immune to {{type|Poison}} moves. Also, most of the Pokémon in this Gym have high [[Defense]], so [[Special Attack|Special]] moves will do the most damage to them. {{p|Lucario}}'s {{m|Aura Sphere}} is one of the most dangerous moves to Steel-type Pokémon in the game right now.
-To deal with the maze, first head to the fourth elevator out of the first set you'll find on the 1F. Then follow the nearby elevator on the 2F to reach the southeast area of the 1F. Then the next one will take you back to the 2F and then use the moving lift hooked up to a wire to get across the ledge. Take the regular elevator there to reach the 3F where you will find more moving lifts to take you across the wires. First use the moving lift above you to reach the north area of the 3F with two moving lifts. Take the upper lift and then keep following the path that will take you back down to the 2F and then another elevator will take you to the north side of the 1F. There a special elevator will take you to the 4F where [[Byron]], the Gym Leader and the father of the [[Oreburgh City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Roark]] is.
+To deal with the maze, first head to the easternmost elevator out of the set of four you'll find on 1F. Then, take the elevator south of you on 2F to reach the southeast area of 1F. The next one will take you back up to 2F. Then, use the moving lift hooked up to a wire to get across the ledge. Take the regular elevator there to reach 3F, where you will find more moving lifts to take you across the wires. First, use the moving lift north of you to reach the north area of 3F with two moving lifts side-by side. Take the northern lift and then keep following the path that will take you back down to 2F. Another elevator will take you to the northern area of the 1F. There, an elevator with a red outline will take you up to 4F where [[Byron]], the Gym Leader and the father of [[Oreburgh City]] Gym Leader [[Roark]] is.

-Byron starts by sending out {{p|Magneton}}, which is easy to beat with a simple Flamethrower due to it's weak Sp. Defense, though a Ground-type move like Earthquake could easily defeat it due to it's 4× weakness to those attacks. However, beware of Magneton's {{m|Flash Cannon}} if using {{p|Graveler}} or {{p|Golem}}. With {{p|Steelix}} use special moves since it has a high defense stat. Steelix can counter Fire-types with Earthquake unless you have a Fire-type strong enough to defeat it quickly. It also uses {{m|Ice Fang}} which {{p|Torterra}} has a 4× weakness to. Aura Sphere for Togekiss or particularly Lucario can easily floor it. {{p|Bastiodon}}, despite being his strongest Pokémon, can easily be defeated by a powerful Fighting or Ground type attack due to it's type combo having a 4× weakness to those types.
+Byron starts by sending out {{p|Magneton}}, whose weak Sp. Defense makes it vulnerable to moves like {{m|Flamethrower}}. Also, a Ground-type move like {{m|Earthquake}} could easily take it out in one hit due to its Steel/{{t|Electric}} typing. Beware of {{m|Flash Cannon}} if your Earthquake user is part {{type|Rock}}. {{m|Metal Sound}} will harshly lower your Pokémon's Special Defense, causing {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Tri Attack}}, and Flash Cannon to do even more damage, so be careful. With Magneton out of your way, Byron sends in his {{p|Steelix}}. It's best to use Special attacks on it because of its high Defense stat. It will dispose of Fire-types with Earthquake unless you have a Fire-type strong and fast enough to take it out in one hit. It also uses {{m|Ice Fang}}, which {{p|Torterra}} has a 4× weakness to. {{m|Sandstorm}} powers up Ground-type moves, so use that to your advantage if you can. Don't worry too much about Steelix knowing Flash Cannon, as its Special Attack isn't the best. The last Pokémon you'll face is {{p|Bastiodon}}, which is high-leveled but can easily be defeated by a powerful Fighting- or Ground-type attack due to it's type combo of Rock/Steel. Be sure to take it out in one hit (which isn't too hard), or your Pokémon will be on the receiving end of {{m|Metal Burst}}, which does 1.5 times the damage your previous attack did to Bastiodon. {{m|Stone Edge}} poses a threat to Fire-types, and {{m|Iron Defense}} will sharply raise Bastiodon's already high Defense stat. {{m|Taunt}} will only allow your Pokémon to use attacking moves, which shouldn't be much of a concern. Get Bastiodon out of your way as quickly as possible, and you'll have saved your team some pain and earned yourself the {{badge|Mine}} without too much trouble!
-Once you defeat Byron he will give you the {{badge|Mine}} which will allow all traded Pokémon up to Level 70 obey you without question and allows for {{m|Strength}} to be used outside of battle. He'll also give you {{TM|91|Flash Cannon}}, a Steel-type special attack that occasionally lowers the enemy's Sp. Defense stat.
