Oreburgh Gate in Diamond and Pearl

Oreburgh Gate is a short cave connecting Route 203 to Oreburgh City in south-west Sinnoh. The upper floor is a simple tunnel, but a Hiker at the entrance gives you HM06 (Rock Smash), and the basement below is a maze of rocks, ramps and an underground lake that rewards returning with more HMs.

  • Grab HM06 (Rock Smash) from the Hiker at the entrance; you can use it outside battle after earning the Coal Badge.
  • Return with Surf and Strength to reach the Earth Plate and TM01 (Focus Punch) on the far side of the basement lake.
  • Veteran Grant in the basement is the only Trainer in DP who uses Riolu.
  • A breakable rock blocks the stairs down to B1F, so Rock Smash is needed to go below the first floor.
  • Natural rock ramps on B1F can be jumped with the Bicycle.
