The Valley Windworks (Japanese: たにまのはつでんしょ Valley Powerplant) is a large, wind-powered power plant that lies east of Floaroma Town, just off Route 205. 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 Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. On Fridays, the wind blows a single Drifloon to the plant. At times, a swarm of Electrike can appear here. A sign outside reads:

Geography

Interior of the Valley Windworks

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 Route 205, 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 Template:Type2 Pokémon live. To the north of the power plant building is a river which runs onto Route 205; a Max Elixir and TM24 (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.

Drifloon event

 
Drifloon at the Valley Windworks

Every Friday, one Drifloon will appear in the middle of the Valley Windworks. It will only appear after Team Galactic has been vanquished, at level 22Wrong template. See Template:Sup/doc. or level 15Wrong template. See Template:Sup/doc.. If it is not battled and captured or fainted by the end of Friday, it will disappear until the following week.

Team Galactic takeover

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 Pokémon 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 Commanders.

Map information

  • Numerous wind turbines stand in the vicinity of the Valley Windworks.

In the anime

The Valley Windworks has only appeared in one episode, ''Gone With the Windworks!'' when Lyra's Marill had gone wandering into it while Dawn was training her cyndaquil. When the group went inside, the encountered some magnemite who were supposedly guarding the area and attacked them with their electric attacks. Later, after escaping the magnemite, the group then gets trapped in a closet, all because of one of Team Rocket's schemes. They all finally get out in the end.


Trivia

  • In Platinum, after defeating Mars, this message will be displayed on both computer screens:

"The bringer of wars... Your target is the energy of the power plant.
The bringer of contentment... Your target is the Pokémon statue of Eterna City.
The bringer of aging... Your target is the Pokémon that sleeps on today.

The dream energy.
 Team Galactic."

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

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

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