Route 215

On this route, it is generally raining which weakens Template:Type2 moves while strengthening Template:Type2 moves. Once you climb up the stairs near the entrance, cross the bridge to find a honey tree. Then follow the path east and talk to the guy in the Black Belt clothes to receive TM66 (Payback). Once you follow the path north and defeat the Black Belt trainer, use Cut on the small tree to find another Black Belt trainer, along with the Fist Plate, which enhances Template:Type2 attacks.

Next jump down the ledge and head south to find another small tree to cut to reach a berry patch. Then climb the stairs and follow the path north then east, eventually finding some more small trees to cut to find TM34 (Shock Wave). Then follow the path east to reach a lookout station that will take you to Veilstone City.

Veilstone City

Now that you've arrived in Veilstone City, you can challenge the Gym here for your third badge. This city is also the home for the headquarters of Team Galactic.

Galactic Veilstone Building

The very large building in the northeast Corner belongs to Team Galactic. While the 1F has no problems, a door is blocking the stairs to the 2F, so there is nothing you can do at the moment until you have the proper key.

Meteorites

East of the Pokémon Center is a bunch of Meteorites. If you have a Deoxys, then you can use them to transform it between it's Formes.

Veilstone Department Store

Veilstone Department Store
A Shop Full of Dreams!

Located near the Pokémon Center. Similar to the Department stores of other regions, there are multiple floors with different types of items.

1F - Trainer's Zone

On this floor you will find basic items, like Poké Balls, Repels, Potions, and Status-healing items. Unlike other Poké Marts, there is no Badge prerequisite to purchase these particular items.

2F - Battle Collection

On this floor the items that are sold have to do with altering stats for battle. The lady in the middle of the register sells you the brands that permanently alter the stats for that item but are very expensive. The lady at the top offers the battle items that can temporarily alter stats in the middle of battle. There is also a lady at the bottom of the register can offer you a Pokétch upgrade the Counter which you can use can tap on the button to count up to 9,999, though it has no value to help you in the game.

3F - TM Corner

On this floor you can purchase a TM. Some good choices here are TM54 (False Swipe), which can help make it easier to catch Pokémon such as Unknown at the Solaceon Ruins. Also if you need an extra copy to teach to a Pokémon to light up a cavern then TM70 (Flash) will be a good choice since this former HM can help with places like Wayward Cave.

4F - Poké Dolls and Goods

Decorations for your Secret Base can be bought on this floor.

5F - Rooftop Plaza

On this floor you will find a Vending machine, that sells inexpensive drinks. Also if you head to the wall on the other side of the escalator and talk to the man there you will receive a Sticky Barb, a hold item that hurts the user unless if the foe uses a physical contact move which transfers the item to them.

Massage Lady

The Massage Lady lives in the south-west area of the city near the gym and is at the first house seen. Once a day she performs a massage on a Pokémon for free that can help with their happiness level and also will finds an accessory for dressing up Pokémon for Pokémon Contests

Veilstone Game Corner

Veilstone Game Corner
Aim for an Explosion of Luck!

Veilstone City also has a game corner where you can play Slot machines to earn money for purchasing special items and TM's. It is located in the southern part of the city near Route 214. The Coin Case is located in the house next to the Massage Lady. Talk to the clown there and and guess which hand the coin is in to receive this item.

Veilstone City Gym

Veilstone City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Maylene
The Barefoot, Fighting Genius!

Once you are ready head to the south-west where the Gym is located. As you approach Lucas/Dawn will appear and see that you are tougher and say that they've seen the Game Corner and have been working on their Pokédex before leaving. This gym is a Fighting-type gym so you will need a Flying and Template:Type2 Pokémon. It is also recommended to also bring a Template:Type2 like Monferno or Ponyta, or your own Fighting type like Machoke for help in dealing with Maylene's Lucario which is part Template:Type2, that can cause normal damage with Flying and Psychic types.

The puzzle in the gym is to move the special walls around to go through the amall room blocks so you can line up the boxes in the middle to get to Maylene. First head for the walls on the right and then move the ones between right and middle side blocks. Next, go through the walls to get the ones on right side corner of the gym. This will help you reach the movable wall above for the top box in the middle row that will get you to Maylene.

Next deal with the movable walls on the left row. First head to the middle row and move the two walls, that should help you get to eventually move ones of the left side to get to the top of the left row to move the last wall. With the middle road clear you can now reach Maylene.

Veilstone Gym
The Cobble Badge




Once you've have defeated Maylene, she will give you the Cobble Badge that will allow you to use Fly outside of battle. Maylene will also give you TM60 (Drain Punch).

Once you leave the Gym, Lucas/Dawn will be waiting for you, and explain that after dropping their Pokédex, Team Galactic found and took it, and needs you at the Galactic warehouse to get it back. It should be located near the Department store where the entrance is guarded by two Team Galactic grunts. When ready talk to Lucas/Dawn to enter a double battle.

390 If the player chose Chimchar

Once you defeat both grunts they return the stolen Pokédex and run away, but not before mentioning that contents from their warehouse has been moved to Pastoria City already. Lucas/Dawn thanks you and mentions that the Pastoria has the Great Marsh where many kinds of Pokémon are found. Quickly head into the warehouse to pick up HM02 (Fly). Now that you have the badge you can use it outside of battle. Nothing else can be done here now. Use the southern lookout station to reach Route 214.
