Wrap up of the entire section of Volcano! (Route 4-5!)
Well that was an interesting little discussion. Time to get to what is going in and what isn't!
Lets start with Route 4 of course! Available pokemon on this route are:
Rhyhorn lvl 16-20 (uncommon)
Chimchar lvl 17-19 (rare)
It was also decided that this mountain will have two exits, with one leading north to reach another route (this path can be accessed even after the volcano does its eruption thingy).
In this route we have an entire group of people who seem are giving you a challenge: beat all of them, and you get a nugget! Their teams are all based around one type of EV and cant be found specifically in this route's hide tag for more detail on what they each have teamwise.
Right before we get to the cave we get to meet a fossil seller. He doesnt do a lot but he does sell fossils of the three kanto fossil mons (OU viable ones they are) and gives a slight warning on the volcano you are about to enter along with a Hiker who pleas with you to take these Escape Ropes for “just in case”.
Route 4 Hide Tag
Now on to the big part of the route, the actual mountain of a Volcano. Here we have quite a bit of stuff going on, with Luck sack causing random invasion to a two tier place that opens up later in the game to allow the capture of Heatran and Entei (before, ya know, erupting). On to what Pokemon are capturable in Mt. Dogars!
Note this is structured in two, the late game stage of return and when we arrive now.
Floors 1-3
Charmander lvl 14--20 (super rare)
Larvitar lvl 15-20 (uncommon)
Ferroseed lvl 15-18 (Zubat levels of Common)
Rhyhorn lvl 20-24 (Common)
Meditite lvl 18-24 (uncommon)
Gligar lvl 22-25 (uncommon)
Sableye lvl 18-26 (rare)
Deep Chamber Levels (floors 4-5)
Larvesta lvl 50-56 (uncommon)
Charizard lvl 52-57 (rare)
Excadrill lvl 53-56 (common)
Items down there include Earthquake and Fire Blast
Ya never notice how few fire types are on the viability thread till ya decide to gander at it....Oh well. Least ya got Chimchar and Charmeleon as options over Larvesta :D
Once you enter the cave you don’t see a whole lot. A Tm for Flamethrower is seen, but out of reach, ( near path that can lead to exit), a crazy Super Nerd who is named after a chipmunk, and some items scattered here or there (Great Balls and several Burn Heals).
Then this guy shows up....albeit it starts slightly delayed. You run into one hapless Luck Sack Grunt (our first real confrontation with them happens here) that is confused where everyone went, and fight him. After beating him you follow him down a floor, and lord and behold, there are a lot more of the buggers. You, the ever faithful hero, charge in, and the plot of the whole encounter can be found here in

Then you fight the leader of this current assault after beating god knows how many grunts, Gororbachello who leaves after his teams collective might was not enough.
Volcano's Hide tag
Gah, so much fighting. The player pretty much leaves the Volcano battle worn and bruised, swearing that every Ferroseed shall now die a fiery death and that Team Luck Sack is even more stupid than he had realized and ventures into Route 5. Peaceful a little bit, but its almost an exact duplicate of Route four in design and Pokemon available except no NPCs what so ever. A sorta of sweet nice little victory to have before god knows what you'll find in the next town.
God damn it I was 3 minutes late with that..........Oh well at least its there. Start theorizing bout what could come next before we bring up the next area's guidelines!
