When you go to Iron Island, you might want a party that only contains five Pokémon, because you can receive a Pokémon Egg toward the end of the maze. Use the Dowsing Machine on your Pokétch to find a hidden Star Piece that you can exchange at Fuego Ironworks for colored shards. Interior Star Pieces will regenerate each day.

At the entrance to the mine you'll meet a man named Riley, who will give you HM04 (Strength). He mentions he is training inside and proposes you join him. While receiving the HM is the only required part of your mission here, you'll find some good items, get valuable training, and an extremely rare Pokémon if you explore the whole mine.

Riley will team up with you further on, but you're on your own for the first portion of Iron Island's mine. From the entrance room, first go down the stairs leading left.

Items (B1F)
Item Location Games Protector Raised part of left section of B1F  Pt  Yellow Shard Left section of B1F  Pt  Escape Rope North-west of the lift in B1F (right)  Pt  Star Piece Hidden to the right of the three barrels north-west of Picnicker Summer  Pt  Max Repel In front of stone north-east of Picnicker Summer  Pt  Revive Left of lift in B1F (right)  Pt

In the west side of B1F there are just two items and a single Trainer. One of these items is the Protector which can evolve Rhydon into Rhyperior if it is held while traded. Afterwards, return to 1F and this time use the right-hand stairs to reach the east side of B1F.

On the right-hand side of B1F, you will again face one Trainer and find some more items, including another hidden Star Piece. Make sure to keep an eye on your bearings here since it is easy to get lost in this maze. You need to stay on the correct path to find the items and get to the small elevator that will take you down to B2F. Once again, there are two pathways. Since Riley can be found by taking the left stairs, let's go right first so afterwards Riley can heal your team.

Items (B2F)

Item Location Games Elixir East of Worker Noel  Pt  TM23 (Iron Tail) In western half of pit south-east of Worker Braden  Pt  Star Piece Hidden in eastern half of pit south-east of Worker Braden  Pt  Dusk Ball North-west corner of B2F (left) beside two steel drums  Pt  Magnet South-west of Max Potion  Pt  Max Potion South-west of Dusk Ball near two small rocks  Pt  Star Piece Hidden on the raised platform South of Worker Brendon and Worker Quentin  Pt  HP Up Just north of the two Galactic Grunts  Pt  Ultra Ball North-east of Black Belt Kendal and Battle Girl Tyler  Pt  Iron Plate Hidden in pit in south-east corner of B2F (left)  Pt  Star Piece Hidden on small rock right of Ace Trainer Jonah and Ace Trainer Brenda  Pt  Red Shard Just north-east of Worker Brendon and Worker Quentin  Pt

In B2F's east side you will face two Trainers, and also find TM23 (Iron Tail). If you follow the path that leads to the other side of where the TM was found and use your Dowsing Machine, you will find yet another hidden Star Piece.

Once you reach the left side of B2F, Riley will team up with you to investigate the mystery of a disturbance here in the mine. Just like Cheryl and Mira, he will heal your team after every battle, and double battles will also occur in the wild. Therefore, you should train as much as possible while he is with you.

Pokémon Trainer Riley Iron Island Platinum Reward: None Types: Fighting Steel Ability: Steadfast Held item: None Lucario♂ Lv.41 Metal Claw Steel Physical   --       Bone Rush Ground Physical   --       Force Palm Fighting Physical   --       Quick Attack Normal Physical   --

Remember, like all Multi Battle situations, two wild Pokémon will appear at once and you can't catch a wild Pokémon unless you knock the other out. Since the Trainers in this room are positioned to where you could face them in a Double Battle, do not waste the opportunity to do so, if you wish.

Just like B1F's east room, B2F's west room is also a maze so make sure to get your bearings for collecting items or facing Trainers. Your final target is the pair of Galactic Grunts in the south area of the room - be warned, Riley will leave after you face them. After defeating Workers Brendon and Quentin head southwest and follow the path to reach a ledge above them and then use the Dowsing Machine to find a fourth hidden Star Piece. Also in the southeastern area down some small stairs, the Dowsing Machine will reveal a hidden item, the Iron Plate.

After getting past the somewhat tricky Ace Trainer duo Jonah and Brenda, you'll find the Galactic Grunts - the disturbance in the cave.

Team Galactic

After you defeat the grunts, Riley will thank you for your help and will give you a Pokémon Egg containing Riolu, Lucario's pre-evolution. As long as you remembered to only bring five Pokémon with you, there should be no problem; if not, you'll have to return to Canalave City first to empty a slot in your team and then backtrack to get the Egg.

All that's left is taking the elevator down and entering the final room.

Use the elevator here to go back up to ground level and you'll find the Shiny Stone, for evolving Togetic into Togekiss or Roselia into Roserade. Also, you'll find the entrance to the Iron Ruins, which will become a shrine to Registeel if you have an event Regigigas. If not, it will be an empty room where you can find a Metal Coat. Even if you do have the event Regigigas, you won't be able to face Registeel until you have the National Pokédex.

Leave Iron Island and return to Canalave City to earn your Mine Badge if you haven't done so or to enter the Canalave Library if you already have the badge.

Canalave Gym

Canalave Gym 1F

Canalave Gym 2F

Canalave Gym 3F

Canalave Gym 4F

Be aware that the toughest Pokémon you'll face here is Level 41. The layout of the Canalave Gym is a maze consisting of multiple elevator platforms. As you may already know, it specializes in Steel-types. You'll want Fire-, Ground-, and/or Fighting-type attacks on your Pokémon. Many of the Pokémon in this gym are part Ground or Rock, so Water-type attacks (such as Surf) are also useful. Steel-types resist attacks of almost every other type, and are completely immune to Poison-type moves. Also, most of the Pokémon in this Gym have high Defense, so Special moves will do the most damage to them.

To deal with the maze, first head to the easternmost elevator out of the set of four you'll find on 1F. Then, take the elevator south of you on 2F to reach the southeast area of 1F. The next one will take you back up to 2F. Then, use the moving lift hooked up to a wire to get across the ledge. Take the regular elevator there to reach 3F, where you will find more moving lifts to take you across the wires. First, use the moving lift north of you to reach the north area of 3F with two moving lifts side-by side. Take the northern lift and then keep following the path that will take you back down to 2F. Another elevator will take you to the northern area of the 1F. There, an elevator with a red outline will take you up to 4F where Byron, the Gym Leader and the father of Oreburgh City Gym Leader Roark is.
