Make sure you brought Pokémon with the HMs Surf, Strength, Rock Smash, and Rock Climb.

Mt. Coronet South Area 1F

Enter this area using the entrance on Route 207. Surf across the northernmost pool of water to the northeastern corner of the room. Climb up the rocks, and ascend the stairs.

Items (2F)

Item Location Games Max Repel On ledge north of stairs from first floor  Pt  Red Shard On small rock west (and slightly north) of Max Repel (hidden)  Pt  Escape Rope In corner south-east of exit to Route 207 (requires Strength)  Pt  TM80 (Rock Slide) North-east of exit to Route 207 (requires Strength)  Pt  Max Revive South-west of exit to small northern cavern (requires Strength)  Pt  Black Flute Given by Looker while trying to enter small northern cavern  Pt  Star Piece On a rock at end of small cavern across from the stairs leading from 3F to 2F (hidden)  Pt

From here on out, Mt. Coronet is an enormous maze. You may want to use Repel in some areas, but the wild Pokémon are high-leveled enough to be good for training against. It would be a good idea to keep the Dowsing Machine app on the Pokétch screen, as there will be a lot of hidden items.

Anyway, the exit in the southwestern corner of the room leads to a dead-end ledge on Route 207, where you can pick up a previously-unreachable Iron and Timer Ball. Back inside the mountain, don't forget to pick up TM80 (Rock Slide), as the move it contains is very useful.

Once you reach the northern exit, Looker will show up. Knowing that both Cyrus and the Galactic Commanders are out of his league to fight, he'll let you go on ahead since you're the only one powerful enough to take them on. He will give you the Black Flute before you go. After that, go through the exit and you'll be in 3F.

When you arrive head to the set of stairs on the right to briefly return to 2F to find a hidden Star Piece. You'll also deal with your first two Galactic Grunts, who shouldn't be that much of a challenge if you use the right Pokémon. Afterwards, take the exit to the outdoors, and you'll find yourself in the summit area of Mt. Coronet!

You are now in the southern area of the summit. As it is constantly hailing here, non-Ice-types will receive damage in battle. Hopefully, you stocked up on Potions. Also, this area is full of hidden items. From where you are, head east and then north to the Rock Climb-able wall. Near the large patch of grass is the western entrance to 4F, and near another scalable wall is the eastern entrance. Climb that wall and you'll find a grassy area with some hidden items. The eastern 4F entrance serves little purpose at this point, although there are a couple of hidden items worth picking up.

Back outside in the summit, make your way to the northwestern entrance to 4F, in the large grass patch.

Once inside from the west entrance, use Rock Climb to ascend to the upper area of 4F and head for the exit to the east, defeating two more Galactic grunts standing in your way.

Once through the exit from 4F, follow the path and take the stairs down and you will find a narrow chasm with two more Rock Climb walls and another cave entrance that will take you to a special tunnel.

You don't have to explore this part of the cave yet if you don't want to. You can battle three Galactic Grunts and find some hidden items in here. Also, a fourth grunt is guarding the entrance to a secret passage that leads to Mt. Coronet North Side's 1F. You can't go through here until you've stopped Team Galactic for good.

Summit

This time, ascend using the Rock Climb wall facing west and follow that path west. This will lead you to the entrance to 5F. Once again, there are some hidden items along the way.

When you first arrive, you will have to deal with two Galactic Grunts in a Double Battle. Afterwards and you'll find that both Mars and Jupiter wish to challenge you. Luckily Barry appears, making this into a tag battle.
