Oreburgh Gate Pokémon Diamond and Pearl · Caves & landmark

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.

- 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.
