Larvitar Special Encounter

## Information

**Location**: Tanzan Depths

**Available**: After Badge 16

Go all the way right and go up, and then go all the way right and go up again to reach the opening in the left photo. Go to the bottom left corner to reach the exit like in the right photo.

Once outside, go right and up at the intersection. Once you reach the upper intersection, go left until you reach another intersection.

Go up at the intersection and go right across the metal pipes and into the cave.

In the cave, go up the Rock Climb path and turn right. Go up the stairs and into the opening on the right.

The platform with 4 crystals serves as a 4-button control pad that you will use to control Larvitar later. Start a wild battle, and use two instances of Earthquake, Magnitude, Bulldoze or Fissure to collapse the cave. End the battle after one instance of cave collapse, to make the control pad fall down further.

The whole area has three openings, which lead to three caves with three control pads. However, you only need to collapse the ground in one cave, and the ground and control pads in the other two will collapse as well.

### Getting Larvitar

Return to Tanzan Cove and surf into the cave on the left side. Take the Rock Climb path down.

Start a wild battle, and use two instances of Earthquake, Magnitude, Bulldoze or Fissure to collapse the cave. End the battle after one instance of cave collapse, to make the ground collapse. After that, go down the newly created Rock Climb path on the right.

Activate the Green Crystal, then go right into the opening.

You will have to guide Larvitar to where you want it to go. The control pad you collapsed earlier will be your arrow keys and Larvitar is your player: interact with the upper crystal and Larvitar goes up, interact with the right crystal and Larvitar goes right.

Follow the steps below to get all items and lead him to the exit. The photos show the position of the Larvitar after the actions in the caption are made.
