Wayward Cave Platinum · Area

Wayward Cave is a dark, confusing cave on Route 206, south of Eterna City and underneath the Cycling Road. The main entrance leads into a large first floor, where a lost girl named Mira asks you to take her to the exit. A second, hidden entrance tucked under the Cycling Road leads to the lower floor, home of the only wild Gible in Platinum.

Tips
- Gible appears on B1F with a 20% encounter rate; reach it through the hidden entrance under the Cycling Road.
- Lead Mira back to the exit; while she travels with you, wild battles become double battles and she heals your team after each fight.
- 1F is pitch dark, so teach TM70 Flash to a Pokémon to light the way.
- TM26 Earthquake and TM32 Double Team are on 1F, and B1F has a Grip Claw, a Rare Candy and a hidden Dusk Stone.
- Bronzor is common on both floors (30%), alongside Geodude, Onix and Zubat.
- Collector Terry on 1F battles with a Lv22 Gible, if you want a preview.
