Tips

• Buck joins as a partner who heals you after every fight, turning wild and Trainer battles into double/multi battles.
• Strength and Rock Smash are needed to get through the caverns; Rock Climb opens several item ledges including the Life Orb outside.
• After Buck leaves, talk to his grandfather in the Survival Area, then come back to battle Heatran.
• Your rival Barry waits in the entrance chamber, sore about losing to Buck.
• Heatran lives in the innermost chamber once the Magma Stone is returned.
• The caverns are full of double-battle Trainer pairs.
