Pyrous Mountain

Map description:

The **Pyrous Mountain** is a volcano located in the southwestern area of the Reborn Region, accessed from Apophyll Beach.

## Puzzle

The puzzle of this area involves smashing rocks to drain lava from the upper floors. The solution is as follows.

Go down the ladder in the bottom right corner of the base floor. Then go down to the pillars in the bottom right corner and break the shining rock.

Return to the upper floor and go up the ladder on the top side. On the next floor, go to the top side and go up the ladder again.

On the next floor, go left and down, jump down the ledge, and go down the ladder to the lower floor. On the lower floor, go to the pillars in the bottom left corner and break the shining rock.

After that, go right and go down the ladder to go back to the base floor. Go to the pillar on the left side and break the shining rock.

After that, go down the ladder on the right side of the base floor. Then go down to the pillars in the bottom right corner and break the shining rock. After this step, all lava will be drained from the upper floors, and you can proceed to the top of the mountain.

*More Information: Turtonator Special Encounter*
*More Information: Heatmor Special Encounter*
There are two possible Special Encounters that can occur in Pyrous Mountain: Turtonator Special Encounter and Heatmor Special Encounter. However, in one playthrough, only one special encounter can happen. Both encounters have equal chance of happening, unless Passwords concerning monotype are active. The encounter that you get is decided shortly after the start of the game, so restarting the game or leaving and returning to the same area won't change the encounter that you get. The two encounters happen in different locations, and there is no indication of the encounter you get, so the only way to know is to go to the exact locations of the encounters.

Turtonator doesn't have any Egg Move in its moveset. Heatmor has one of these Egg Moves in its moveset: Sucker Punch, Night Slash, or Heat Wave.

### Tepig Special Encounter

## Trivia

* Pyrous Mountain is named after pyrope, a variety of garnet that always displays a red coloration.
* The lowest floor of the mountain only houses Pokémon that drop Special Attack EVs, as it is one of the EV training spots set by the developers.
* Whether or not the player defeats Solaris will have an effect on several events later in the game.
	+ If you are defeated by Solaris, you will battle Solaris at Fiore Mansion with Florinia as your partner. If you defeat Solaris, Julia will be your partner instead.
	+ If you defeat Solaris and follow the Reshiram story path, Taka's ghost will appear in the Void and beg the Player to not forget about him.
