The '''Valley Windworks''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|谷間|たにま}}の{{tt|発電所|はつでんしょ}}''' ''Valley Powerplant'') is a large, wind-powered power plant that lies east of [[Floaroma Town]], just off {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}. It harnesses wind energy via giant windmills and converts it into electricity. [[Mars]] of [[Team Galactic]] tries to take over the station to harness its energy, but is chased away by the player of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. On Fridays, the wind blows a single wild {{p|Drifloon}} to the plant, although not if [[Team Galactic]] still occupies it. At times, a [[Pokémon outbreak|swarm]] of {{p|Electrike}} can appear here.

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 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 won't have to defeat 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.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

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 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}} and the Pokédex holders almost got buried in Sandstorm's sand, everybody managed to survive the incident.

* In {{v2|Platinum}}, after defeating Mars, this message will be displayed on both computer screens:

:The message is replaced at some point in the game, most likely after the events at the [[Spear Pillar]].

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