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.

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.

For dealing with Byron, {{p|Magneton}} is easily beatable 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 4x weakness to those attacks. With {{p|Steelix}} use special moves only since it's defense stat is too high. Steelix can count fire-types with Earthquake unless if you have a fire-type strong enough to defeat it quickly. It also uses {{m|Ice Fang}} which {{p|Torterra}} has a 4x 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 bad type combo have a 4x to those types.

Once you defeat Byron he will give you the {{badge|Mine}} which will allow for 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.
