Firelight Caverns Map Location
Location of Firelight Caverns in Naljo.

Firelight Caverns is a cave and story location in the Naljo region, connecting Route 85 and the Provincial Park. The player will first enter from Route 85, though they must first obtain the Muscle Badge, as entering the caverns requires the use of Rock Smash. Traveling through the Main Cave will take them to the Provincial Park and the routes beyond.

Once the trainer returns from Route 80, they can travel into the Internal Cave where the Palette Patrollers are trying to awaken the guardian Varaneous. Once awakened, it becomes a roaming Legendary.

Main Caves[]

The main caves are the floors that the player will have access to on their first visit. Many of the floors have wild Pokémon, trainers and items, but some areas require use of HM04 Strength to reach. Other areas require HM05 Rock Smash, or for the player to jump across small pools of lava.

Walkthrough[]

To progress through the caves, the route is: entrance -> 1F -> B1Fa -> B2F -> B2Fb -> 2F -> exit.

  • 1F is where the player enters via Route 85. It has a ladder leading down to B1Fa, and access to a small 2F cave (requires Strength).
  • B1Fa (the first section of B1F)has access to B4F, reached by jumping over the small pool of lava. It also has the entrance to the internal cave and a ladder to B2F.
  • B2F has ladders to B1Fa and B1Fb, as well as to B3F (mine cart floor).
  • B1Fb (the second section of B1F) has a ladder to B2F.
  • 2F consists of two small, unconnected caves. The cave reached from B1Fb has an exit to Provincial Park. The other cave is reached via 1F (the entry level), and requires Strength to access. It contains an item ball.
  • B3F is reached via B2F, and contains a mine cart allowing the player to travel to Acqua Mines, Mound Cave and Clathrite Tunnel. The mine cart requires Rock Smash to reach.
  • B3F is reached from the left of B1Fa. Here the legendary Pokémon Groudon can be summoned, but doing so requires the Red Orb, which cannot be obtained until after the player has defeated the Elite Four.

Internal Cave[]

The internal cave of Firelight Caverns can be accessed via the entrance on B1Fa. However, an NPC blocks the way into the cave, preventing the player from going more than a few steps in until they have fetched his Aggron from Route 80. This means that on the player's first visit, none of the items or trainer battles is available.

Items[]

Post-Defeat No matter.
Post-Battle ... You're just like your father. He who disobeyed his roots to strive for popularity, as a self proclaimed Pokémon Master. Well, now all that will change. Your family has betrayed Naljo for the last time! The proud culture of Naljo will be awoken once again!
