Tips

Expect a long run of Team Magma Grunts with Lv28 to 29 Pokémon, mostly Zubat, Numel, Baltoy, Poochyena and Mightyena.
Tabitha's team ends with a Lv33 Camerupt, and Maxie uses Mightyena 37, Crobat 38 and Camerupt 39.
Valuable items include a PP Max, a Max Revive, a Full Restore, a Max Elixir, a Nugget and a Rare Candy.
Wild Pokémon are Geodude (55%), Torkoal (30%) and Graveler (15%); a Water-type lead makes the climb easier.
Bring Strength for the boulders on 1F.
