Fuego Ironworks is a quiet foundry tucked away off Route 205 near Floaroma Town, and the only way in is by surfing along the water. It has no part in the main story, but it rewards a detour: the grounds have a honey tree and wild Magmar, and the building, with its moving floor tiles, hides TM35 Flamethrower, a Fire Stone and all four colored Shards. The owner, Mr. Fuego, gives you a Star Piece and swaps Star Pieces for Shards.

Tips

  • Magnemite (30%) and Magmar (20–30%) live in the outside grass at Lv28–30, and Aron appears only with the Poké Radar.
  • Floatzel and Gastrodon also roam the grass, and Gastrodon is more common at night (25% instead of 15%).
  • Pick up TM35 Flamethrower, a Fire Stone and the Rock Incense inside the building.
  • Mr. Fuego gives you a Star Piece on your first visit, and every Star Piece you trade him returns a Red, Blue, Yellow and Green Shard.
  • Spend Shards at the move tutors on Route 212, in Snowpoint City and in the Survival Area.
  • There is a honey tree outside: spread Honey on it and come back later to see what it attracts.
  • With the Super Rod you can hook Lumineon (45%), Gyarados (40%) and Shellder (15%).
