Welcome to Eterna City, home to the second Pokémon Gym. Before challenging Gardenia and her Grass-type Pokémon, take some time to explore this historic city.
Heal your team at the Pokémon Center first, then look around town.
Speak to the woman near the entrance of the Pokémon Center to receive the Friendship Checker app.
It displays how friendly your Pokémon are toward you, useful for Pokémon like Budew that evolve through friendship.
Eterna Condominiums
The Eterna Condominiums building is next to the Poké Mart.
On the first floor, you'll find the Name Rater, who can rename your Pokémon.
Also on the first floor, a boy offers to trade his Chatot for a Buizel.
Chatot is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon not found in the wild at this point, so it's worth making the trade if you caught a Buizel on Route 205 or at Valley Windworks.
On the second floor, an old woman will give you three copies of TM67 (Recycle).
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Herb Shop
To the east of the Team Galactic Eterna Building is an Herb Shop selling herbal medicines.
These are less expensive compared to standard healing items, but each use lowers your Pokémon's friendship.
The Grand Underground can be explored at time from now on, with more Pokémon appearing in each Pokémon Hideaway as you earn Gym Badges and collect new TMs.
Wild Pokémon levels scale with your number of Badges, starting at Lv. 16-20 with one badge.
In addition to the main encounter table, each hideaway has rare spawns that appear at fixed rates independent of the main table.
You can also dig in the walls of the tunnels to uncover fossils and other treasures.
Of interest, the Skull Fossil (Cranidos) is more common in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and the Armor Fossil (Shieldon) is more common in Pokémon Shining Pearl.
Spacious Cave
Spacious Cave is the most common cave type, characterized by its plain rocky walls.
It is home to a variety of cave-dwelling Pokémon, including Zubat, Geodude, and Machop.
In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Murkrow can be found here, making it a good opportunity to catch this rare Dark/Flying-type Pokémon.
Of interest, Munchlax becomes available after obtaining TM97 (Defog).

Fountainspring Cave
Fountainspring Cave is a water-themed biome with spring pools, home to several Water-type Pokémon.
Psyduck, Buizel, Shellos, and Gastrodon (West Sea variants) can all be found here from the start.
Notably, Gible becomes available after earning the Icicle Badge, making this a cave to return to for the Garchomp family.
