Oreburgh City Pokémon Diamond and Pearl · Town

Oreburgh City is a coal-mining town in central-west Sinnoh, east of Jubilife through Oreburgh Gate. It hosts the first Gym of the journey, and Barry stops the player from challenging it until they have met Roark down in the Oreburgh Mine. The Mining Museum here can also bring fossils back to life.

- Grass and Water types make short work of Roark's Rock team.
- Bring a Zubat to the house left of the Poké Mart for a free Heal Ball, and a Machop if you want the Abra trade.
- The Oreburgh Mining Museum revives one fossil at a time for free.
- In-game trade: a Machop for an Abra nicknamed Kazza holding an Oran Berry.
- The Coal Badge lets Rock Smash be used outside of battle.
