Mt. Pyre exterior (in-game map)

Mt. Pyre is a mountain graveyard for Pokémon on Route 122, reached by Surfing south from Route 121. Its six-floor indoor tower is full of Psychic and Hex Maniac trainers, and the outer slopes lead up to the fog-covered summit. There Team Aqua's Archie takes the Red Orb after Team Magma have already stolen the Blue Orb, and the old woman guarding them gives you the Magma Emblem.

  • Shuppet fills the indoor floors; Duskull (10%) appears on 4F to 6F, Vulpix (30%) on the exterior, and Chimecho (2%) at the summit, the only place it is found.
  • Pick up TM30 Shadow Ball on 6F and TM48 Skill Swap on the exterior slopes.
  • Pokémon Breeder Gabrielle uses six different Lv26 Pokémon and has four PokéNav rematch teams, as does Hex Maniac Valerie.
  • Take the Magma Emblem to Jagged Pass to open the Magma Hideout.
