Iron Island Pokémon Diamond and Pearl · Caves & landmark

Iron Island is a small former mining island off Sinnoh's western coast, reached by boat from Canalave City. Canalave Gym Leader Byron keeps a cabin by the dock, and inside the old mine the player teams up with Riley to fight through Trainers and a pair of Team Galactic Grunts. As thanks, Riley gives the player an Egg that hatches into Riolu.

Tips
- Keep a party slot open so Riley can give you the Riolu Egg.
- While Riley travels with you, wild battles are doubles and he heals your party after each fight.
- Return with the National Pokédex for a Metal Coat from Byron in his cabin.
- Partner Trainer Riley (Lucario) joins you on B2F; the Galactic Grunt fight is a mandatory Multi Battle.
- Riley gives a Riolu Egg after the Grunts are beaten.
- Lifts connect the basement floors; oil drums block some paths.
