Granite Cave

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Granite Cave is a fictional cave in the Pokémon series. It is located in the Hoenn region, northwest of Dewford Town in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Going to it in the game is required because the player needs to go there to deliver a letter to Steven Stone.

[edit] Description

Near the beginning of the cave, the player can see clearly, and there is also a Hiker. Talking to him, will help obtain HM05, Flash, which allows them to see more clearly in dark areas, like the lower floors of the cave, so it is important. However, Dewford's Gym Leader, Brawly, needs to be defeated before Flash is used outside of battle.

The lower floors are dark, and like said above, the Flash HM is required to see in them. Afterwards, the player can journey through the other floors of the cave, to eventually find a room containing Steven. He can now be given the letter, and he will give the player a TM47 device that teaches a Pokemon the Steel Wing attack. The player can then get out of the cave, either by a just obtained Escape Rope or walking out, and can progress in the game. Walking out is better because it preserves the rope that can be used only once and is quite costly in the urban Pokemon merchandise shops.

[edit] Extra areas

However, there are extra parts to Granite Cave that cannot be accessed when the player first visits it. After devices like HM06, Rock Smash, and the Mach Bike are obtained, both obtainable in Mauville City, the extra areas can be accessed. The player can use the Mach Bike to access an area containing several items, and can use Rock Smash to smash rocks in which occasionally Nosepass can be found, the only area to find them in the game.

[edit] Wild Pokemon

In Granite Cave, the wild Pokémon that can be found are Geodude, Makuhita, Zubat, Abra, Sableye(in Sapphire and Emerald), Mawile(in Ruby), and Aron. In addition to that, more Geodudes and the exclusive Nosepass can be found using Rock Smash.
