Location Location of Mound Cave in Naljo. |
Mound Cave is a cave in Naljo.
It is divided into two discrete sections: the main cave connects Route 73 and Spurge City, while a smaller upper area connects Route 83 and Route 69.
Travelling through the main cave requires that the player brings an Electric-type Pokémon (or move) to activate the cave lights on B2F and B3F. A Fire-type is also required on their first visit, to light the Dynamite and clear the blocked tunnel.
There is a mine cart on B3F, which can take the player to Acqua Mines, Clathrite Tunnel or Firelight Caverns.

Dynamite[]
The stranded miner on 2F requires five sticks of Dynamite to clear the path, which can be found on B2F and B3F (the dark floors). Each item ball has a pink hue to distinguish it from regular item balls, and each is guarded by a Palette Patroller. See the Walkthrough section to more easily see how to reach them.

Post-Defeat | What was that for, huh? |
Post-Battle | These worthless pests are just a waste of my time. Now I am off to find new Pokémon that suit my specific needs. ... What those are? Hah! That's not your concern. |

Post-Defeat | Darn you! You might have won this time... ...but you can't use your Pokémon as a shield forever! Behind your loyal Pokémon is just a helpless child. But, like humans, Pokémon are totally disposable. When it is upon us, the world will see just how vulnerable you are! |
Post-Battle | Look, you earned your dynamite, so go get it and leave me alone. We'll come back to meet you again, when the time is more suitable. |
